Hey everyone and welcome back to the Sawickipedia. In this one we're going to be
looking at the Xiaomi SmartMi toilet seat / bidet.
So it's a smart toilet seat, it's heated, and also has a bidet function.
This one was bought from an Australian seller so it does come with an English translation for the control panel.
I've already opened it up to have a look so here it is here.
You can see the English translation, because on the actual toilet seat it's all in Chinese.
Let's just open in up.
So there's a little template, this will come in handy
in the install part which we'll look at soon. Instruction manual, so once again
all Chinese in here but the the seller that we've bought it through does
provide an English version of the instruction manual -
so we'll have a look at that soon, maybe in the install. This is just a little hose to hook it up, and
this is your water filter / adapter. So one part will connect to the water
supply and then you've got an output for the toilet itself, and an output for the bidet toilet seat.
Let's have a look further in the box so
in here is the actual seat along with the power supply.
So we've got the power supply cable, this one obviously has an Australian plug on it, .
normally they're going to come with the Chinese plug. You can see the little bidet part there.
And over here you can see the control panel, so it is all in Chinese, apart from that the only other things
in the box, there's a bit of packaging... and... that's it? So it looks like we've got everything we need
to get started, so we'll move on to the install which is coming up just now.
Okay so here we are. I've chosen the ensuite as the install location mainly because
A it's not the main bathroom, so your guests won't freak out when they find a
bidet and not know what to do with it, you don't have to teach them how to use your toilet.
And B because it has a power point close by, so it's gonna make
the install much easier because you do need a power point for these things.
First thing to do is take off the original toilet seat and what you'll need to look
for is behind here, there's a couple of little things that you'll need to loosen up -
they should come out fairly easily,
and the old seat should come off.
Eeew
Give that a quick clean.
Right so we're ready to put the new one on.
The other thing I over looked in the last bit of the video is the little install pieces.
They'll be hidden in the foam in the box, so you definitely need them. Okay so next thing is to grab
the two rubber anchors and insert them into the existing holes in your toilet bowl.
And then after that grab the template and line that up around the rubber anchors.
This little flap at the front helps you line up the front of the bowl,
so that flap needs to sit on the edge of the bowl.
Okay so sorry about that random pause
I actually had to trim down the rubber grommets just to get them through
the holes in the bowl, but now that that's done we can attach the mounting bracket.
So you'll need this piece here which I'll just show you, so it will usually be
already attached to the toilet seat. The way to get it off is just to push the button on
the side and it will just come straight out.
So once you've got that
you'll need to take the screws and the washers that were on those grommets and
these two little brackets that you'll also find in the little bag of goodies.
Positioning this that way and then these little brackets will face downwards so
metal side is down, no actually sorry metal side is up,
and the washer needs to sit between the grommet and the bracket.
Same on the other side,
and then just tighten them up,
not too much just yet.
All right, now keeping that in the bowl, this template should sit around the
plastic part. So it should line up fairly well while still having that tab
sitting down in the bowl. So once you're happy with that, which we
pretty much are, we can tighten this down.
It doesn't have to be too tight as long as
it's tight enough so that bracket doesn't move.
We'll put toilet seat on.
You can see here there's a bunch of slots that line up,
and with any luck it'll just push it back on to there and click in.
So it is pretty heavy, you can see that it still has a bit of play to it but it's
niice, soft closing.
Ah next part is to hook up the plumbing side of things so we'll move along to that.
Alright so on to the plumbing, first thing you want to do is
grab yourself a little bowl and a towel, beacuse you will spill a little bit of water.
Make sure your water supply is turned off and then loosen up the hose.
Alright grab the new piece, so the middle part here fits on the existing tap.
I'll just tighten that up.
Okay, so the front connector goes to the cistern on your toilet,
just make sure this hose isn't twisted too much because they tend to break if
you twist them around too much - tighten that up in a sec. And then the other end
connects to your toilet seat.
So this part here basically just hooks into that,
with a good push, and then there's a little clip that goes over that -
so this part here and this one here.
And then obviously this end hooks up to the toilet seat, same deal it's got
another clip that you just got to clip on.
Alright that's it. Last thing to do, turn the water supply on, check for any leaks.
Plug it in of course, it goes up the other way because everything's backwards
and then try it out!
Thanks for watching this!
So that's the install and the unboxing, we're gonna
come back in a minute when it's all tidied up, well actually we're gonna come
back in a couple of weeks and try and do a review.
Should be fun, we'll see you then.
