HOROW T38P Review: The Ultimate Bidet Toilet for Canadian Homes

Modern Canadian homes are embracing smart bathroom tech — and the HOROW T38P is one of the most compelling smart bidet toilets available. This in-depth review covers design, tankless performance, bidet features, installation, pros/cons, and why it’s a solid choice for Canadian homeowners.

1. Why Smart Toilets Are Surging in Canada

Smart home upgrades have expanded into bathrooms. Canadian households increasingly expect features like automatic flushing, heated seats, warm-water cleansing, and water-saving technologies. The HOROW T38P brings these features together in a sleek one-piece, tankless design that fits standard 12-inch rough-in plumbing — the most common configuration in Canada.

2. First Impressions: Design, Build & Aesthetic Appeal

The T38P features a fully skirted, one-piece tankless silhouette that looks modern and hotel-grade. The smooth skirted base is easier to clean, and the slow-close seat prevents slamming. It’s available in a clean white finish and is designed to pair well with contemporary bathroom fixtures and matte hardware.

  • One-piece, tankless design
  • Skirted base for easier cleaning
  • ADA-compliant comfort height
  • Soft-close seat

3. Super Technology: Performance Benefits

Unlike traditional gravity-fed tank toilets, the T38P draws water directly from the supply and uses an internal pump for a powerful flush. Benefits include a stronger, consistent flush even in low-pressure environments, elimination of tank condensation in winter, a smaller footprint, and on-demand water heating for bidet functions.

4. The Flush System: Reliable and Efficient

The HOROW T38P uses an electronic dual-flush system with pump assistance and a siphon-jet style action to minimize clogs and maximize clearing power. Options include an eco flush for liquids and a full flush for solids. The flush is consistent and well-suited to high-usage family bathrooms.

5. Smart Bidet Functions: Hygiene & Comfort

Bidet features are the core advantage of the T38P. Key functions include:

  • Adjustable warm-water wash (rear & front)
  • Oscillating spray for deeper cleaning
  • Self-cleaning stainless steel nozzle
  • Adjustable water pressure and temperature
  • Warm air dryer
  • Nozzle position adjustment

These make the toilet ideal for postpartum care, users with hemorrhoids, seniors, and anyone seeking improved hygiene.

6. Heated Seat & Comfort Features

The heated seat has multiple temperature levels and pairs with warm-water washing and a warm-air dryer. In cold Canadian climates, this feature significantly enhances comfort. The system uses energy-saving standby modes to minimize power draw when not in use.

7. Installation for Canadian Homes

The T38P is designed for a 12-inch rough-in, which is common across Canadian homes. Installation requires:

  • 12-inch rough-in drain
  • 120V grounded outlet nearby
  • Standard cold water supply line

Many homeowners hire a plumber and an electrician for a quick, code-compliant installation. Compared to some luxury competitors, wiring is straightforward and no additional plumbing lines are typically required.

8. Energy Efficiency & Water Savings

The combination of dual flush, on-demand water heating, energy standby modes, and reduced toilet paper usage makes the T38P an eco-friendly option. Users see water savings from efficient flush options and less paper waste thanks to the bidet functions.

9. How the HOROW T38P Compares

Vs. TOTO: Comparable comfort and bidet features at a lower price point.
Vs. Kohler: Easier installation and better value for features.
Vs. Bidet Seats: Integrated design, auto flush, and ADA height provide a more complete solution.

10. Real Canadian Use Cases

Ideal for families, seniors, condo owners, and vacation properties. The T38P’s ADA height, heated seat, and auto functions make daily use easier and more hygienic.

11. Maintenance: Low Effort Ownership

Maintenance is simplified by the lack of a tank (no internal tank parts to service), the self-cleaning nozzle, an anti-stick bowl glaze, and an easy-to-clean skirted base.

12. Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Sleek one-piece tankless design
  • ADA-compliant height
  • Full smart bidet features
  • Strong flush even with low water pressure
  • Water- and energy-efficient features
  • Better value vs. some premium brands

Cons

  • Requires nearby electrical outlet
  • Not suitable for off-grid homes without power
  • Learning curve for remote controls and settings
  • Currently offered primarily in white finish

13. Who Should Buy the HOROW T38P?

The T38P is a strong choice for home renovators, condo owners, families, seniors, and eco-conscious buyers who want smart features without an extreme price tag.

14. Final Verdict

The HOROW T38P is a well-rounded smart bidet toilet that delivers comfort, hygiene, and reliability for Canadian homes. Its tankless performance, full bidet functionality, ADA height, and water-saving operation make it a smart investment for modern bathrooms.

Bottom line: If you want a modern, hygienic, and efficient smart toilet that fits a standard 12-inch rough-in and offers premium features at a reasonable price—this model deserves serious consideration.
