Flagged as a product to avoid

1 of 5 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

Ultra Nova’s marketing emphasizes “luxury” but its stainless-steel wand is actually a plastic composite that shows wear after 12 months. Firmware updates have been sparse, and the unit has a higher failure rate than comparable models in long-term reviews.

For most bathrooms the Eco NOVA is the sensible buy. Step up to the Ultra NOVA if you want the hands-free lid, need the enema wash, or want the thinnest possible seat on the toilet. Both fit elongated bowls only — check the full range of bidet seats if you have a round bowl.

It's important to note that we love the Eco Nova so much that we partnered with Nova bidet to bring the Ultra Nova to market, despite that we're trying our best here to offer a complete non-biased analysis of these two seats and how they compare against one another.
