Differences Explained

Perhaps the biggest difference one would notice from using both bidets is that one of them doesn’t have a warm air dryer. After using the bidet spray you would likely have to reach for toilet paper with the Toto A100 because it doesn’t have an air dryer. If you want your bidet to have an air dryer and are deciding between these two bidets, pick the Toto C100.

The other feature that the Toto A100 does not have is a deodorizer. The deodorizer is a simple filter located on the right side of the bidet that attempts to eliminate odors. It starts working when you sit on the toilet and continues for a couple of minutes after you get up. This is a handy feature to have, especially for toilets that are frequently shared.

The final feature that differentiates the Toto A100 and the Toto C100 is the pre-mist function. Before you use the toilet, a mist is sprayed inside the toilet bowl so that dirt does not stick to the bowl. The Toto C100 has this function but the Toto A100 does not. If you wish to have the pre-mist function to help keep your toilet clean, then go for the C100.

In terms of the price, there is a bit of a difference too. Generally speaking the Toto C100 is a bit more expensive than the Toto A100. This is understandable as the C100 has slightly more features than the A100.

So to summarize, the Toto A100 is a very basic bidet. It’s great if you simply want a heated toilet seat that washes. For a little more comfort, the Toto C100 has an air dryer and some extra features to keep the toilet looking and smelling clean.
