VOVO is a Korean bidet brand, and its intelligent (integrated) toilets combine a ceramic bowl and a bidet seat in one tankless unit. The model VOVO USA features most is the TCB-090SA, which VOVO lists with an automatic lid, automatic dual flush, a 3-in-1 stainless nozzle, a heated seat, a warm-air dryer and a UV LED for the bowl. It’s a full-featured design, but stock was limited when we checked, and the warranty on the electronic seat section is short.

This review is based on VOVO USA’s product pages and warranty policy. We have not physically tested any VOVO toilet. See our methodology for how we research products.

Status as of November 2026: VOVO USA’s website (vovo-us.com) lists four integrated toilets: the TCB-090SA, a TCB-090SA(B) variant, the TCB-090S and the TCB-8100W. The individual product pages we opened for the TCB-090SA and TCB-090S showed “Sold out” with a notify-me option, even though the collection page didn’t flag them. VOVO’s European site also showed its TCB-090SA versions as sold out. Check stock before you commit.

About VOVO

VOVO sells bidet seats, integrated bidet toilets, air purifiers and body dryers. VOVO USA lists an office in Torrance, California, and links to sister sites for Europe, Japan and Korea. Its US homepage describes the brand as a CES 2026 Innovation Awards honoree. Tech press coverage of CES 2026 tied that honor to a VOVO smart toilet called NEO, reported to include health-monitoring features. We didn’t see the NEO in VOVO USA’s integrated toilet collection, so we don’t cover it as a buying option here.

Features VOVO lists for the TCB-090SA:

  • Tankless with rimless tornado flushing. The toilet flushes from the supply line rather than a tank.
  • Automatic dual flush. VOVO says it uses how long you’ve been seated to choose between a full and a partial flush. A manual flush button on the side works during power outages.
  • Automatic lid. A sensor opens the lid as you approach and closes it after you leave. VOVO says this happens within 60 to 90 seconds, and you can also open and close it from the remote.
  • 3-in-1 stainless steel nozzle with five water pressure levels and nozzle cleaning.
  • Wash modes: posterior, feminine, turbo and a “rhythm” mode that moves and pulses the spray.
  • UV LED (UV-A) that VOVO says cleanses the bowl, plus an LED night light.
  • Heated seat and warm-air dryer, each with three temperature settings, and a 24-hour power-saving mode.
  • Automatic deodorization and a wireless remote.
  • Certifications: VOVO lists cUPC, cETLus and an eco-label certification.
  • Made in Korea.

VOVO’s page doesn’t state the rough-in, seat height, bowl shape, electrical rating or minimum water pressure. Those matter a lot for a tankless toilet, so ask VOVO support for them before you buy.

Other VOVO integrated toilets

Model What VOVO USA lists
TCB-090SA Tankless, automatic dual flush, auto lid, UV LED, heated seat, dryer
TCB-090SA(B) A variant of the TCB-090SA (retailers list it in matte black)
TCB-090S Same size and largely the same feature list as the TCB-090SA on VOVO’s page; VOVO’s comparison grid doesn’t clearly separate the two
TCB-8100W Listed in the integrated toilet collection; we couldn’t load its product page to confirm features

Because VOVO’s own comparison grid doesn’t clearly explain how the TCB-090S differs from the TCB-090SA, confirm the auto-lid behavior and any other differences with VOVO before you choose the cheaper model.

What we like

  • Tankless design with automatic dual flush
  • Auto open and close lid, plus remote control of seat and lid
  • 3-in-1 stainless nozzle with five pressure levels and several wash modes
  • UV LED bowl lighting and automatic deodorizer
  • Manual flush button for power outages
  • Lists cUPC and cETLus certification

Things to consider

  • Product pages showed sold out when checked
  • Only 1 year of warranty on the bidet seat section
  • Rough-in, seat height and electrical rating not stated on the product page
  • Tankless flushing depends on household water supply
  • Differences between TCB-090SA and TCB-090S are unclear

Warranty

VOVO’s warranty page sets out a split warranty for the TCB-090SA, TCB-090S, TCB-8100B and TCB-8100W: one year on the upper bidet seat section and three years on the ceramic bowl. It doesn’t cover installation labor, damage from improper installation, sediment, electrical surges, or chlorine- or chloramine-based cleaners. Registration is voluntary, but you need proof of purchase to make a claim.

That electronics coverage is shorter than the three-year terms TOTO and Kohler list on their intelligent toilets, and much shorter than the five years Bio Bidet lists for its Discovery DLX. Since the seat section holds the heaters, pump and control board, warranty length matters more here than on a standard toilet.

Who it’s for

  • Buyers who want a full feature set, including an auto lid, auto flush, UV LED and multiple wash modes, from a brand outside the TOTO and Kohler premium tier.
  • Homes with good water pressure, since this is a tankless design.
  • Anyone who values Korean manufacturing and US plumbing and electrical certifications on the listing.

It’s less suited to buyers who want a long warranty on the electronics or need a model that’s reliably in stock. Compare it with others in our best smart toilets shortlist and our smart toilet brands overview.

If what draws you to VOVO is the washing rather than the whole toilet, note that VOVO USA also sells bidet seats. A seat keeps your existing toilet, costs less, and is simpler to replace if the electronics fail. Our guide to choosing between a bidet toilet and a bidet seat walks through the trade-offs, including installation, warranty and how much of the bathroom you want to change.

What to check before you buy

  • Stock: VOVO’s product pages showed sold out when we checked. Don’t remove your old toilet until the new one has arrived.
  • Rough-in and shape: These aren’t listed on the TCB-090SA page. Ask VOVO and measure from the finished wall to the drain center.
  • Water pressure: Tankless toilets depend on supply pressure and flow. Ask VOVO for the minimum, and have a plumber check yours if you’re unsure.
  • Power: Plan for a GFCI-protected outlet near the toilet, installed by a licensed electrician if needed.
  • Warranty registration: VOVO’s policy offers a longer term for some products bought through its official store, so read the terms for your model and keep your receipt.
  • Cleaning products: VOVO excludes damage from chlorine- or chloramine-based cleaners. Follow its care instructions and our maintenance checklist.
