Importing a Toto washlet to Europe

My girlfriend is going to live with me in The Netherlands after an LDR of almost five years in April. Being a Japanese she ofcourse cannot live without a washlet. So we're thinking about importing a Toto washlet cover from Japan. I just wonder if such a toilet seat cover will fit on a European toilet? Does anyone have experience installing a Toto washlet on a European toilet?

Can't answer your question, but make sure you don't buy an Inax toilet seat. They have a built-in timer that disables some of the functions after 10 years and requires that you pay for official "repairs" just to reset it. Beware!

Geberit, a European company, has had toilet/bidet for years. Might be more practical than importing a Japanese one, especially as Europe uses 220-240 volts, while Japan uses 110 V.

Geberit has suppliers in many countries on continental Europe

Recently on TV I watched a program about TOTO people starting their business in Italy.
It's better to contact TOTO people in Europe.
There must be several offices in Europe.

@ Red Frog,

I've been looking at Geberit's products. But they are pretty darn expensive. The only affordable ones (roughly 500 euro) have very limited functions. I was also worried about the voltage but perhaps a voltage converter exists?


@ y.g.

Actually, Toto also sells products in the Netherlands, just no washlets as far as I know.

See this site:

gb.toto.com

Buy a stepdown converter (roughly 10, 000 yen)
Hire a good plummer as they require know-how to install.
Dont buy toto as they have a 10 year life span.

I had a washlet in my last apartment. Can't say I used it all that much. Main benefit was the heated seat and we can get them in Europe anyway.

I don't want to offend male sensibilities, but men can and should use a washlet, especially when one does #2 after being showered and dressed.
One of the first thing my dad did when we moved to another home---we lived in Europe--is to have a bidet (no washlet then..) installed if there wasn't one.
He even had one in his private bathroom by his office..
