This isn't my first heated seat but it is by far the best!!! The first seat had a flimsy cord and with my husband constantly raising the seat it didn't take long to break. This seat has a heavy duty cord!! The night lite is so nice because I don't have to turn on the overhead light and I can get back to sleep easier...but the very best part is the heat, I only use low and it's plenty warm. There is nothing nicer than a warm toilet when you heat with wood heat....it is a little piece of heaven right here on earth. I think ALL women should have one.
