Hello Bidet Lovers,

Today we have a special treat for everybody.  Close friend of the blog, Jack ( of BikeBerry.com ), has decided to stop by and write a review for his COCO 6035R Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat.  This lucky guy got one for his birthday from his wife.  Let’s see what he has to say:

Hi Everybody,

Like webgerms said, my name is Jack and I run a wholesale bicycle business at BikeBerry.com.  I told webgerms about my new toy and he asked me to write a review for everyone’s enjoyment. Here it goes!

I recently received the CoCo 6035R from BidetKing.com as a gift. To be quite honest, I probably never would have had the pleasure of using such a machine if not for it being a gift. Now, I’m all about trying out the latest and greatest that technology has to offer but the idea of a high pressure stream of water shooting up your privates never really appealed to me. The idea itself seemed a bit invasive and a bit obscure to me. These negative feelings towards bidet seats may also have come about due to my only other experience with them as a child. At the age of 12, I had taken a family vacation to Japan, where almost all toilets were equipped with bidets. After having done my business, I stood up to flush the toilet. Only problem was that with so many buttons, all in Japanese, I couldn’t figure out how to flush it. Now I don’t know about in Japanese culture but in America, people would have frowned upon being asked to come in to see the glory of what my bowels produced; so I did the next best thing, pushed all the buttons. Next thing I know, I was under attack by the toilet and being squirted by water. I naturally voiced a high pitch holler and ran out of the stall drenched in what I thought was poo water. Stupid robo-potty.

Anyways, back to the CoCo 6035R. First impressions before I even opened the box were that the box itself is of really high quality. These days’ cost saving efforts by manufactures usual leads to skimping on basic things such as box construction, hardware, etc. So to be handed such a sturdy and heavy-duty box was a welcome relief. Opening the box, the bidet was very well packed, almost excessively but again a welcome relief. With the bidet out of the box and sitting on the floor, I did a quick test sitting (probably something you shouldn’t do until you have it on the toilet) and quickly inspected the remote. I was floored at how many buttons there were. Who would have thought that you can take something as basic as wiping you butt into 17 different buttons and a 1.5 inch screen.

Installation was snap. In all, it took me about an hour. You just have to split your water line with the included t-valve connector and connect all the hoses and your done in terms of the plumbing. One thing that you should get before you start the installation is some plumbers tape. If I would have known that before I started, my installation time probably would have been cut in half. Anyways, the installation of the seat itself was even easier, connect the included bracket and snap fit the seat on and your in business. Oh, one more thing was the remote. I strategically mounted it on the opposite wall of the toilet, in arms reach, so that it is in direct sight when sitting on the john. I was initially stumped as to why a bidet would need a remote that was detached from the main unit. But once I had that remote mounted, I found that it added to the convenience of not having to look down and to the side while sitting on the toilet to access the controls. With toilets that are positioned into a tightly spaced bathrooms, just as mine is, the remote was a blessing to have.  One more thing to note is that the remote has a clock on the corner of the LCD, so now I know if I’m wasting too much time playing with my new toy =).

With the bidet installed, it was time for a test ride. To be honest, I was pretty nervous at that point, but I went ahead and hit the “cleansing” button anyway. Wow! What an odd sensation! It took me a little bit of time to relax and get use to this new feeling but after I did, it felt great! As with all new toys, I started playing around with all of the functions. Surprisingly, there is a ton of functions and adjustments. The basics: standard butt cleansing, frontal cleansing for the ladies, a mode specifically made for kids. I was especially surprised to find an “IIP” function. Not quite sure what the letters stand for but it basically shoots pulsating streams water for a massaging affect. Wow, who thinks of this stuff…

Other features that I found amazing, but apparently are pretty standard in the bidet world is a heated seat (3 different temperature settings), heated water (also 3 different temperature settings) and a blow dryer. You can also control the nozzle position and stream intensity.  It even has an “Auto” function which goes through all functions for a complete cleaning and then finishes off with a blow dry. Its kind of like going through an automatic car wash with you butt.

One last thing to note is that this unit has a sensor on the seat so it will only turn on if someone is sitting on it. What a relief! I would hate to have a visitor experience the embarrassment of being attached by a toilet like I did as a child in Japan =).

Thanks for reading!
