Our last Bidet was Italian with a German Fixtures. I think I like the look of the washlet more myself. This small master bathroom turned out great.

The washlets some of them have a little noozle that shoots your ____ from the down low angle. You can see the fixtures above do not have this feature. The older bidets would spray up but this I think has been banned do to hygiene issues.

Having two separate fixtures can fill a space in a good way. Or it can limit what you can do with the space.

Washlets are convenient in that you're already on the seat. You don't have to move from one fixture to another. With the myriad functions (general spray, feminine spray, enema stream, drying air, heated water, carbon air filters, etc) there are certainly more bells and whistles on a washlet seat than there are on a basic stand-alone bidet.

I've used bidets. I've used washlet seats. I prefer the washlet. I do think many of the functions can be a bit superfluous, but there are folks who use every one of them and love them.

We have two washlet seats in our house. We originally had a Toto300 in our master, a few years later I put a BioBidet1000 in another bathroom. My wife and I both prefer the BB1000 so I swapped that that into our master bath several years ago. No regrets.

Get rid of bidet and convert. Don't forget to have electrician run power for the washlet.

I have wondered for years why anyone still installs bidets when there are Washlets and Washlet type seats. I can't figure out one advantage to a stand alone bidet but can think of several disadvantages. Love my Toto Washlet S300. Mongo, I'd love to know what your wife and you prefer the BioBidet over the Toto S300.
