We've had our s-1000 for about a week now, and we love it. I worked at Panasonic thirty years ago, and we were "guninea pigs" for one of the first prototypes from Toto. I loved it then. It was simple, and you came out of the men's room feeling refreshed and confident - yes, believe it or not, CONFIDENT. Over the years, I still talk about the awesome toilet bidet.
Last year, I was diagnosed with a fistula. After bottle and bottles of antibiotics, I was told I needed to see a surgeon. He recomended an operation. Downside? Possible loss of sphincter muscles and perhaps a colostomy bag! I said "no way" changed my eating habits, drink alove vera every day, and got a S1000 for maximum cleanliness. Outcome? I'm not free of the fistula, and feeling great once again. Thank you Brondell!!!!
