I own two SB-2000 units, and both generally perform well aside from a recurring issue. In both devices, the solenoid spring weakens after extended use. The part itself is inexpensive and easily replaceable, likely costing only a few cents.
The problem is not the hardware, but the lack of support. SmartBidet does not provide specifications for this spring, making it effectively impossible for customers to source or replace it independently. Instead, users are pushed toward replacing the entire unit for hundreds of dollars.
This appears to be a deliberate design and support choice that limits repairability and forces full-product replacement rather than enabling simple maintenance.
While the product works initially, the company’s approach to parts availability and repair support is poor and not consumer-friendly. Buyers should be aware that long-term maintenance options are intentionally restricted.
Purchased my first one Nine years ago (2018) has been a blessing for my disabled wife. It’s been trouble free, purchase a knew one, wouldn’t purchase any other brand. Thank You
The SmartBidet Company saved my wife a lot of pain, improved her personal hygiene, and offered great value.My wife broke the T12 vertebra in the middle of her back. As a result, she experienced excruciating pain whenever she bent, twisted, or moved. The SmartBidet we purchased eliminated this problem and provided an improved personal hygiene option for her at a significantly lower price than other bidets available on the market.The SmartBidet was easy to install, and the remote control is intuitive and easy to mount on the wall.If you are looking for a user-friendly experience that is easy on your budget and gives you the most bang for your buck, the SmartBidet is for you.
I have owned an sb-1000 for the past 10 years and greatly appreciate how easy it is to maintain and order replacement parts for. I ordered an sb-2000 which is almost identical except for the controls built in to the seat and so far it has the same quality as the 1000
