Useful, particularly for children who are prone to "drop" the lid. This lid won't slam. I'd rather it be made of something other than plastic, but you can't have everything.

All I can say is this seat will get people talking. It is the coolest, strongest, most noise free seat I've ever seen. The best part is the closing mechanism. It slowly closes so it can't slam down. Simply amazing. It takes about 8 seconds for the seat to close. I have bought seats in the past that are flimsy and cheap feeling. This seat is the opposite. I also like the curve of the seat. It's concave so it cradles your... ahem... butt. Very comfortable indeed.

Nice silent sound
By royalrabboniVerified Purchaser from Morris, OK on 4/12/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Looks nice on the Clayton
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is in a hall bathroom which will be used a lot by a handicapped husband. I am not very happy with the rounded inward (concave just like the Kohler seat we now have) opening, making it hard for him to rise. He must scoot out to the edge before rising. Our salesman told me it was flatter which I would have preferred.
We haven't moved into the house yet, so I don't know how hard it will be for him yet.

Product arrived as stated in good packing carton.

Got these seats to go with our new Toto's. Install took all of two minutes. I love the slow-letdown of the seat and lid. Jury is still out on the comfy-factor - the curve is different than our old seats, and our old buns need to adjust!

 
Ok seat
By CarolineVerified Purchaser from Atlanta, GA on 2/21/2008
Pros:
Soft close is cool

Kinda strange shape
Best Uses:
Any
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This toilet seat is different... usually, seats are kinda flat. This one is bent toward the inside, and that makes you wonder if you are seating on the seat or forgot to pull it down...
I love the soft close system (it takes its time to close, so that you don't have to lower to do it manually.)
I am still not used to this seat. It's not bad, just very different in shape!

These seats are a little pricy but they are really cool. It will be interesting to see how long they continue to function as well as they do when they are new. Who would think a toilet seat would make a great Christmas present...give em a gift that is a constant reminder of you! The odd size doesn't lend to normal store-bought seat covers.

Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice try Toto, usually good product design make us efficient and more effective, but this seat will require you to waste more time on your knees cleaning, the soft cover by Toto is fine, but there are too much cavities, pockets and deep corners that you could imagine to clean on the underside of the seat, I would go with other brands, try BEMIS.
But stay with the Toto Toilets, they are the best !

We have a window with a shutter behind the toilet. Often the seat was up and we would open the shutter and BANG the seat would fall and scare the balzes out of you. Also at night someone would close the seat and bang wake you up.

Attractive Design, Comfortable, Silent Operation, Soft Close, Stain Resistant, Sturdy
Cons:

Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This toilet seat looks good, is comfortable and has the best feature - that being the soft close function. With the soft close you just get the seat started in a downward direction and just let it go. It will close slowly and silently all be itself. You don't have to bend over to close the seat and you don't have to worry about it slamming down making noise in the middle of the night. In fact you cannot slam it down if you want to. I've bought one for every toilet in the house (3), even though its a little expensive compared to a standard seat. Its worth it though!

A no-bang toilet seat
By LeoYaVerified Purchaser from San Francisco Bay Area on 8/28/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Flimsy
Best Uses:
Children's Bathroom, Guest Bathroom, Master Bathroom
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, High-End Shopper, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Closes slowly and quietly, which is great for a house with small children. Just give it a push in the right direction and the soft close machinery does the rest. The seat is a bit thinner and less comfortable than the older model but still gets the job done.

Something I never would have thought we needed, but now that we have it, it's great! But when you use a non-soft-close seat, be careful not to let it bang!

 
Good but not leader of the pack
By thillVerified Purchaser from Houston, Texas on 7/24/2007
Pros:
Comfortable
Cons:
seat close speed inconsis
Best Uses:
Master Bathroom
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Other brands have a consistance closing speed no matter if you partially lift the seat and let go or if it is full open and you want to close the seat and lid. This seat will slam on occasion if you do not fully lift the lid or seat before you let go.

My wife complained that seat angled up too much on the sides when sitting on it.

Good seat, but does not rate as high as other brands of similar design.

 
good and not-so-good
By Old GalVerified Purchaser from NYC on 7/16/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Steep slope uncomfortable
Best Uses:
Master Bathroom
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love the slow, non-slam mechanics of the seat, but the slope of the seat rim is too sharp. The rim could be a bit wider and/or not slope so sharply.

 
Impossible to install
By PaigeVerified Purchaser from Incline Village, NV on 7/11/2007
Cons:
Impossible to install
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, High-End Shopper, Practical, Stylish
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Unless this toilet seat is installed prior to installation of the toilet, you must need a special tool that is about one inch in diameter and jointed in order to put the wingnut on the screw. You enter the toilet from the back and have to work up to the top of the toilet seat. Totally impossible.
THE REAL KICKER was when I found the toilet instructions that the plumber had left behind. The diagram showed a seat screw that had a toggle bolt around it! That makes perfect sense, but it is NOT WHAT WAS PROVIDED. CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE THREE NEW TOILETS WITH OUT SEATS!

Cons:
Flimsy
Best Uses:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We like the noiseless close, no more slambang. If anything it doesn't seem secure and slides around slightly.
