Ultra NOVA vs Eco NOVA Bidet Seat

The Eco NOVA and Ultra NOVA share the same core: unlimited instant warm water, a heated seat, a warm air dryer and a self-cleaning nozzle. Both fit elongated toilets only.

The Ultra NOVA adds an auto open and close lid, user presets, an enema wash and a slimmer 3.66-inch profile. It costs $600 more, but the Eco NOVA carries the longer warranty.

Should you buy the Eco NOVA or Ultra NOVA?

Nova is direct about the relationship between these two seats. The Ultra NOVA builds on the Eco NOVA, adding automatic lid operation, user presets, an enema wash and a thinner body. Everything else carries over, so the features you use every day are the same on both: unlimited instant warm water, a heated seat, a warm air dryer, adjustable spray pressure and temperature, and a self-cleaning nozzle.

What the Ultra NOVA adds

The auto lid is the headline addition and the main reason to pay more. It opens as you approach and closes afterwards, which is genuinely nicer to live with and more hygienic in a shared bathroom. It also brings two user presets and a side control knob, so the seat still works if the remote is missing or the batteries die.

The enema wash is the feature people either need or ignore entirely. It delivers a targeted stream that some owners rely on for medical reasons, and it is rare at any price. If that applies to you, the Ultra NOVA is the only one of the two that offers it.

Then there is the profile. At 3.66 inches at the rear against the Eco NOVA’s 5.24, the Ultra NOVA is the slimmest powered bidet seat made, and it changes the sitting height of the toilet less. If you dislike how a thick bidet seat feels, that difference is worth more than it sounds.

Where the Eco NOVA actually wins

Three things run the other way, which is worth knowing before assuming the pricier seat wins on everything.

  • More adjustment. Five nozzle positions against three, plus four heated-seat levels and four dryer levels. If you and your partner want different things from a wash, the Eco NOVA gets there more precisely.
  • A stainless steel nozzle. The Ultra NOVA uses resin. Going up-market loses you the steel wand.
  • A UV sterilizer and a longer warranty. The Eco NOVA adds a UV lamp that treats the nozzle between uses, and carries four years of cover against the Ultra NOVA’s three. The Ultra NOVA does get the longer trial, at 60 days rather than 30.

What neither one does

Neither seat has a deodorizer. Neither is made in a round size — both are elongated only, and neither works on a French curve tank where the front of the tank sweeps down toward the bowl. The warm air dryer on both finishes the job rather than replacing paper. And the Eco NOVA is controlled only from the remote, with no buttons on the seat itself.

The short answer

For most bathrooms the Eco NOVA is the sensible buy — the same daily wash, more adjustment and a longer warranty, for $600 less. Step up to the Ultra NOVA if you want the hands-free lid, need the enema wash, or want the thinnest seat you can put on a toilet. If you have a round bowl, neither will fit; see the round bidet seats instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Eco NOVA and Ultra NOVA?

The Ultra NOVA adds an automatic open and close lid, two user presets, an enema wash and a slimmer 3.66-inch profile. Unlimited warm water, the heated seat, the warm air dryer and adjustable spray are the same on both.

Is the Ultra NOVA worth $600 more?

It depends on whether you want the auto lid or the enema wash. Those are the two features that genuinely change the experience. If neither matters to you, the Eco NOVA delivers the same daily performance for $699.

What are the downsides of the Eco NOVA and Ultra NOVA?

Neither seat has a deodorizer, and neither is made in a round size — both are elongated only and neither fits a French curve tank. The warm air dryer on both finishes the job rather than replacing paper, and the control housing raises the back of the seat enough to notice. Specific to each: the Eco NOVA has no controls on the seat, so a dead remote leaves you without the wash, and the Ultra NOVA uses a resin nozzle and carries a year less warranty.

Which has the better warranty?

The Eco NOVA at four years, against three years for the Ultra NOVA. The Ultra NOVA has the longer risk-free trial though, at 60 days versus 30.

What is the enema wash?

A targeted, gentle stream that some users rely on for medical reasons. It is rare on bidet seats at any price and is only available on the Ultra NOVA.

Will either fit a round toilet?

No. Both are elongated only. Neither works with French curve tanks that slope into the bowl, such as the Kohler Rialto. Check the full bidet seat range for other options.

How do I know if they will fit my toilet?

Measure the spacing between the two seat bolt holes at the back of your bowl. The Eco NOVA needs 4.5 to 7 inches and the Ultra NOVA needs 4.6 to 7.2 inches. You also need at least 1 inch of flat space between the front of the tank and the mounting holes, and the tank should meet the bowl at roughly a right angle. Send us a side-on photo of your toilet and we will confirm before you order.

Do both need an electrical outlet?

Yes. Both are electric seats and need a grounded outlet nearby to run the water heater, heated seat and dryer.
