KOHLERK-5588-0 Purefresh Elongated Nightlight Toilet Seat, with Grip-Tight Bumpers, Quiet-Close Seat, Quick-Release Hinges, Quick-Attach Hardware, No Slam Toilet Seat, White

After my toilet seat broke (really? do toilet seats actually break? mine did!), I went in search of a new one on Amazon and came across this seat. I was intrigued. However, it was out of stock (elongated biscuit - sounds like a Stella d'oro product) and we had to wait 4 months for it. I have to admit I was skeptical about it and thought about canceling the order. Besides, who orders a scented, lighted toilet seat? In the meantime, I made do with a little bit of duct tape.Anyway, the seat arrived and I went about putting this seat together. Really simple. Directions were clear. Took about 5 minutes after getting the old seat off. Time to test it out. Guess what? It really works. The light gives off a cool blue dot in the middle of the bowl. The fan with charcoal filter and air freshener filters out the odors well. Much better than the overhead ceiling fan.My only complaints: the lid doesn't stay fully upright - I think it's due to the slightly bulky lid cover; the mounting base color seems a little off - we have a biscuit toilet and ordered the biscuit seat but the base appears much lighter in color; the profile of the mounting base seems a bit large on the back end of the toilet. All minor details.Overall, well worth the money. Highly recommend for anyone in need of a new throne.

I bought this seat on a whim, we're older and getting around at night can be a bit dangerous, so in replacing our toilet with a Kohler, I saw this nightlight seat and my husband thought I was nuts. It lights up the entire bowl blue and even has a small blue light in the bowl itself, like a laser beam light, so great for little boys too trying to aim too. It would be great for kids overall to find their way into the bathroom at night. It runs for 7 hrs on the batteries and comes on at the same time every day depending on when you initially turn it on, similar to a watering timer. Not too sure about the fan/smell tabs that come with it. When you sit on the seat the little fan comes on but really I don't notice any smell with the tabs inserted. I was concerned the smell would be overpowering but that's not the case. The seat slips off easily for cleaning and battery replacement is easy too.The only issue is seat is a bit wobbly, plastic seems thinner than I would like and flexes a bit when you sit on it, so not really sure how long this will last, but the night light feature makes it worth the purchase. We've had it 6 weeks now and still going strong, not sure how long the batteries will work before having to replace.

This is actually very nearly a good product. The air freshener works well. The night light is a pleasant cool blue. It's got a lot going for it.Unfortunately there is one design flaw that renders all of this seat's benefits moot. The attachment mechanism is simply not sturdy enough for any regular use.The plastic that mount this seat to the bowl will distantly pop out of position with the slightest of lateral force, and the bracket that it mounts to will eventually snap. I've replaced the bracket twice hoping to correct the issue, but it immediately comes back.Don't buy this seat. Kohler is generally a good company that stands behind their products, but this design should be recalled completely. It is totally unusable.

KOHLER K-5589-0 Purefresh Quiet-Close with Grip-Tight Bumpers Round-front Toilet Seat, White lives up to its promises.After owning for a while now I've found it to help much more than expected with odors which was important to us as we avoid flushing overnight so as not to wake the baby.The night light is helpful and bright, but it doesn't burn your eyes during the middle of the night visits.The fan sound is mild but can be alarming in the middle of the night when you are out of it.I thought I'd hate the plastic, but it stays much cleaner than wood and allows for the soft touch which means no accidental slams - especially useful with kids in the house.It's easy to install and the purefresh inserts aren't overpowering.My only complaint is that it makes a round toilet seat feel even smaller due to all of the hardware in the back.

This is an ingenious product. However, if you have people who are overweight, anyone who stands and doesn’t hit their target well, who are kids who stand on the toilet seat to get to the sink, or if the user shifts their weight on the seat one way or the other while performing functions, you may not want this toilet seat.I purchased one for each of our two bathrooms. The shifting seat actually detaches from the attachment part and requires the purchase of replacement attachment mechanisms even though there is no apparent or visible defect in the broken one. My daughter had also purchased two of these toilet seats and ran into the same problem.The company was great when I phoned them the first time it happened. And you can buy the replacement parts online for less than $10. But once you’ve put these together you will realize replacing this piece is not a snap and requires the investment of time and effort. If it needs to be done once a month or every other month it’s quite costly.From a sanitary perspective, all of the design features that make this so nice create an incalculable number of nooks and crannies for human waste to find its way into, primarily liquid waste. Even after using a tiny brush to clean as many nooks and crannies as I could, the under and backside never seem clean in the true sense of the word.It literally is a wonderful seat for many people. But it definitely isn’t for every household. And I have spent $140 for 6 months and now need to find a different solution.
