Good but the BB-2000 is a much better value FOR ME
on June 9, 2022
Posted by: JonDoe2000

If you are considering the DLS vs another model such as the BB-2000, choose based on the features that suit your needs. For me, the feature I wanted the most was enough water pressure to be able to clean myself inside and to relieve constipation. I bought both the DLS and BB-2000 as my first 2 bidets so I have been able to compare them myself, and after looking at reviews online I didn't read anywhere where it said the DLS isn't enough water pressure to penetrate and clean inside (enema). As much as I tried, just cannot do it with the DLS on full water pressure, it's not designed to penetrate the sphincter into the colon.
However, the DLS has some nice features that the BB-2000 does not, but also a feature that to my wife and I find quite annoying and one should be aware of before purchasing. The feature I do not like about the DLS is every time you sit down it does an automatic nozzle clean, and it sounds like peeing because water runs out of the nozzle lid for about 10 seconds. The BB-2000 only does this nozzle clean after you push a button and I find that much better. This auto nozzle clean feature cannot be disabled (auto open/close lid can be disabled, why not the auto nozzle clean?).
I also notice the water stream of the DLS on high pressure is enough to clean thoroughly, but seems a bit messy when on max level and I have to dry more area down there than I should, but not a big deal.
The DLS has a UV sterilization feature, which is probably the reason for the higher price, and that is great if you are worried about bacteria.
The auto open/close lid seems unimportant but works great and can easily be disabled with the remote.
The remote is good but it's easy to accidently push buttons unintentionally when handling it because there's buttons on the side, back, and front.
The comfort of the seat of the DLS is great. If you have a hemorrhoid that tends to stick out when in the wrong position such as bending or squatting or sitting on a toilet, this seat style might help with that.

Installation :
- Both bidet seats came with a new water line but neither one fit, luckily the old water line fit the new hardware just fine.
- I had to run to home depot for 2 items to complete installation - a short extension cord and plumber's tape. The electric cord is quite short and if your outlet is not nearby on the side the power cord is coming out (left side from seated position) you will likely need a 1.5 or 3 foot extension cord if you want to run it under your toilet tank. Also no plumber's tape is included and I had a slight leak using the included T-valve and the tape sealed it off.

Great when it worked so I returned it for repair, and now the remote does not, and they are giving me the run-around. I had 2 bio units in the past, and I will waste not my money on them again.

Works Well

We bought this bidet a few months ago. My spouse and I do like it. One does/may still need to use some baby wipes or T-paper at the end of the cycle. If I could change anything, I would like to have the nozzle/wand come out further towards the front since I am female. Also, I wish the remote would have better indicators for wand position. It has two arrows pointing left and right but I have no clue how many different positions there are and it is hard to really notice any significant difference. I just physically move my bottom to hit the correct area. The water pressure indicator is lacking too. However, you can definitely feel the difference in the pressure. I would love to see maybe a numerical position like 1-2-3-4-5, etc. which would make it easier than just hearing a beep that cycles around. I would have expected the remote to have a little more clarity with these controls considering the price. All in all, this unit has been fine and definitely we like the clean-fresh feeling after using it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Seat will discolor.

This seat discolors after a year. I have three of them. And all are doing the same thing. Other than that we love the seat! But the yellowish color is not ok. We will be replacing.

I feel so spoiled. My faucet has motion sensor and a spray nozzle. I love the way it works and the way it looks.

Bells & Whistles!
on February 28, 2025
Posted by: Robb44
from Santa Monica, CA
We recently upgraded our BIO BIDET to the Discovery DLX and it's like going from a Honda Accord to a Maserati! This unit is designed to be hands-free. If your prone to those 3AM visits to the loo, this is for YOO! The Discovery DLX knows all and sees all and as you approach, you don't even have to say "Open sesame" before it springs to life. The lid flies open and a spotlight shows you where to aim. This bad boy is COMPLETELY programable for all of your clean up preferences too. Heat, water pressure and position are yours to choose. The remote resembles a Nintendo game controller with all kinds of buttons and while the seat is slightly wider than the previous model, the front to back feels slightly shorter. It will take some time to master but with all the bells and whistles, there will be some interesting sounds coming from the bathroom!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrific

I was thrilled with my previous A8 model purchased in 2016, but when the heating device went out, and I needed to send it in for repairs, it was the perfect opportunity to get the Discovery DLS! One of my family members will enjoy the A8 when its returned after repairs ..and I will not have had to be without my terrific BioBidet for a single day
I would recommend this to a friend!
