I have owned the SB1000 for over 2 years, I am in fact looking to buy another for our second home. I have external hemorrhoids, this thing has been a lifesaver (perhaps literally). 99% of the time I only dab to dry, never wipe. I have never tried the dryer, maybe someday but it has been great without. I use significantly less tissue, the seat is warm at night, and cleanliness is guaranteed. One of the best personal purchases ever. I dread using a toilet elsewhere, it even diminishes the joy of looking forward to a vacation...seriously.
