So, if you are looking at the commode what is the best position for the power outlet?

I put mine on the right side (facing the toilet). Water pipe and inlet is on the left. I'd want to keep the outlet away from the water connections for the toilet and the seat.

Our power outlet is installed to the right while seated and near the floor. Works fine.

I had the electrician install the GFCI outlet on the left side of the toilet, as hidden as possible by the toilet, almost out of sight, because the power cord and the water hose on the washlet are on the left side of the washlet. Looks very neat and seamless and no ugly cordage showing for a built-in look. The fact that the power outlet is GFCI allays any concerns of how close the outlet is to the water source.

Aesthetically, you might want to put the outlet on the right side so that more of the cord is hidden behind the toilet. Also, make sure you avoid the plumbing in the wall for the toilet inlet valve. Other than that, it can be anywhere the 4-foot cord will reach.

The cord is fairly long, so the location isn't critical. Mine is on my right while sitting, but toward the back on either side or behind would work just fine.

We have three Toto washlets and two have a power outlet on the right hand side and one has the power outlet on the left hand side. It depended on where the closest electrical outlet was.

The tile on my bathroom wall is 48" high. I mounted the outlet just above the tile and directly behind the toilet. I fed the outlet with power from a gfi outlet, hard wired, of course. The power cord to the washlet is exposed. but no one seems to mind.

The cord on mine is located on the bottom right hand bar. It's very long! The electrician who installed ours said it could be shortened but we just folded it up and as the plug socket is behind where we have the rail mounted, towels hide it. I have three of these, two are hard wired and that is the best way to go if you can. They all perform very well and I am pleased with how they look.

LaDonna, There is enough space for your socket for the power cord from your TV. My socket is located under the second cross bar and centered between the two verticle bars. My HDMI runs behind the wall. No wires can be seen when watching the TV. It's nice.

like one of the other posters said, you can turn the unit 180 degrees but the outlet will still be to one side of the casing. i think it is all molded plastic so it is hard to change any part's position

If it comes to that, keep in mind that the power supply can be disconnected from the rear of the console. If facing the console, it's the big plug on the far right. I wouldn't recommend it, but it can thrown out on the table as the "nuclear option."

When mounted both the switch & the power cord are on the left. The switch is 3" from the left edge. We have several different length Slimlines & they are all the same way - when mounted (with the switch facing down) the switch & power are on the left. The linkable socket is on the right end of the light fixture. Hope this helps - we use them under are kitchen cabinets & are extremely happy with their performance & longevity!

I'm sure you've made your decision by now, but one thing that appears to be an advantage for the Datacomm is that it has mounting screws near the cable access slots. The PowerBridge (which I have, and very much like) has the mounting screws to left and right of the electrical, but the far sides of cable access slots are sorta floating (which won't matter too much if walls are pretty flat.) Personally, I like the shape of the PowerBridge better (and that shape works better for my installation.) But, for some people, having a standard two gang outlet (which I assume the Datacomm is) might make things easier, down the road when things change.

It is only on front. The outlet box is made of solid plastic with openings for the wires.

If the cable is disconnected the volt switch can be in any position. If extended periods of non use are encountered there may be minor drain and the switch should be placed in the off position.

A typical outlet has 2 sockets, one on top of the other. You can use 2 of these, one on top of the other and the control switches are in the right hand side.

Mine will allow me to have the outlet sticking straight out, as a regular outlet, facing up toward the ceiling (for cords coming from up above, or it can face down to the floor (for cords coming from the floor/carpet/baseboard. I hope this helps.

It would be more convenient and more tidy if the outlet is on the right when you are sitting on the toilet. But if the outlet is on the left (when you are sitting on the toilet), the cord is long enough to run behind the toilet to reach the other side.

There is a hole on the back of the unit, close to the bottom. Push one end of the power cord into it, and the other end with the plug, goes into the outlet.

The plug itself where it meets the wall socket has a lean to the right, the power cord basically comes straight down from there..

No, I have it plugged in on the top (upside down) so the cables come in that direction. The bottom outlet is open and being used.

With arms extended is the right position. Meeasure depends of the electric circuit formed in your arms no of your hearth

It's open in the back, it only has two side that come together. It sits around 4" from the wall if you have the desk against a corner so you have plenty of options for cords. My power strip fit back there with no problems.
