First off: This is a GREAT alternative to the much more expensive toilets by the big name brands. We ordered from Amazon to "test out" the toilet in such a way that we could return it if there was any issue, as we plan on replacing 3 toilets with the B0970S and could not see one locally.
UPDATE, 05/15/2021: I ordered 2 more of these, from Amazon, for a remodel we are doing.
First, some answers to questions that are not clear in the online literature:
1. This toilet DOES bolt down, just not in the usual way. Two small pinholes in the side allow stainless steel screws to reach the L-shaped brackets that bolt to the flange; see my photos for install info.
2. This toilet DOES NOT have a tank of any sort; it's a water-pressure toilet. You need at least 15 PSI, which essentially all US homes have, at the shutoff.
3. The angle shut off included DOES NOT work with US plumbing and is not required, per tech support. Go ahead and use your existing angle stop.
4. The toilet DOES install successfully with a wax-free ring setup, and using that mechanism makes this toilet much easier to install.
5. This toilet DOES support pre-wetting, in which it wets the bowl when you first sit down.
Now, the review: This toilet rocks. It looks extremely expensive in person, and has a plastic lid / bidet control box and a porcelain body. It uses a siphonic-jet style flush with two stages, and it is an extremely effective way to flush and clean the whole bowl. Buttons on the side work fine, but if you mount the remote where you can reach it you can easily control full / half flush. We have no issues with flush power; works great in our install.
The heating features (water and seat) work shockingly well. You won't need them set to maximum. The bidet in default position hits exactly where I need it to, but of course has adjustment range. I can't believe I've been being a neanderthal with just toilet paper before this. The dryer is quiet and reasonably effective - don't expect an airblade-like experience. The nightlight is great and has an ambient mode to detect light level, so it isn't always on.
The main impression is that of attention to detail. Every screw hole has a cover, every part fits with good tolerances, and every function works great. It's just priced correctly. If you look at the competition, you can see that they take a regular toilet, and add a bidet seat. This should not cost more than ($toilet) + ($bidet seat) and yet somehow it costs 4 * ($toilet + $bidet). The Woodbridge is not cheap, and they did not cut corners. It's just priced fairly; it's more like 1.5x the cost of the two parts as available from Woodbridge.
If you are in the market for a carrier-less / tank-less toilet with bidet, you already know the very short list of options. This, to me, looks like the absolute bang-for-the-buck king.
