The DV-1S0019 is a tankless, one-piece smart toilet from Deer Valley, a Chicago-based bath brand that sells directly to shoppers. It pairs a bidet wash and a heated seat with a foot-sensor flush, a night light and a manual flush for power outages.
This page is a research-based read, not a hands-on test. Its facts come from the brand’s spec sheet, the installation manual, Deer Valley’s stated policies and the Better Business Bureau’s public file on the company.
The short version: a wide feature list, a two-year warranty that reaches the mechanical parts and the bidet seat, and one number to confirm before you order, the rough-in size.
What You Get
Start with the numbers from the listing.
| Price | check the current price at Deer Valley (it differs by version) |
| Footprint | 27.09 in long, 16.57 in wide, 18.39 in tall |
| Rough-in | 12″ standard, with a 10″ version also offered |
| Seat and bowl heights | 16.50″ for the seat, 15.51″ for the bowl |
| Weight | 100.24 lbs |
| Weight capacity | 450 lbs |
| Warranty | 2 years, including the mechanical parts and the bidet seat |
In daily use the features fall into three groups. For comfort, there is a heated seat, a warm-air dryer, an automatic lid and a night light. For washing, Deer Valley lists a rear wash, a front wash and a pulsating mode, with pressure and water temperature you can adjust, delivered through a nozzle the brand calls self-cleaning and nano-antibacterial.
The third group is the hardware itself. Deer Valley builds the bowl from ceramic and coats it with a nano-glaze finish, the seat is polypropylene, and the one-piece elongated body has no tank. Each flush uses 1.28 gallons (4.8 liters), the figure that most modern low-flow toilets are built around. A deodorizer with its own filter, foot-sensor control and an emergency flush for blackouts round out the list.
Weight is worth planning around. At about 100 pounds, the toilet calls for a second person on delivery day. When you are ready to compare versions and check the current price, browse Deer Valley’s smart toilets at its own store.
Features Worth Paying For
Smart toilet spec sheets run long and read alike. A quick filter is to ask which items change daily life and which protect you when something goes wrong.
Upkeep and backup
The nozzle. A bidet nozzle sits in a damp spot, so Deer Valley’s self-cleaning design, which the brand says rinses the nozzle after use, is the first item I would look for if upkeep matters to you.
The blackout flush. An electric toilet would otherwise have no working flush during an outage. Deer Valley lists a manual override for that situation.
The warranty. The brand states two years of cover on the product page, including the mechanical parts and the bidet seat, which counts in its favor.
Comfort extras
The heated seat has adjustable temperature, which helps on cold mornings. The dryer on Deer Valley models typically has several warm levels between roughly 93 and 102°F. The night light, the automatic lid and the remote add convenience, though none of them changes how well the toilet handles its main job.
Built-in protection
The listings name safeguards against leaks, overheating, freezing, flames and over-current, plus an IPX4 rating for the electronic parts. IPX4 covers splashing from any direction. It is not a rating for submersion.
Fit and Installation
Three practical questions come before any feature comparison: will it fit, will it have power and who will install it.
Fit. Rough-in is the gap between the finished wall and the center of the floor bolts. Measure it on the toilet you have now with a tape. The DV-1S0019 is sold in a 12-inch size, and a 10-inch version is also offered. No feature makes up for the wrong choice, because a 12-inch unit will not sit properly in a 10-inch space.
Power. The heated seat, the dryer and the automatic functions run on electricity, so find the nearest outlet before you order.
Installer. The product page recommends professional installation, and the reasoning is easy to follow. You are replacing a whole fixture, with a water connection and an electrical one, not dropping on a new seat. Seating the toilet squarely and sealing it to the floor correctly the first time saves you from chasing leaks or flush problems later.
The installation manual and the mounting hardware come with the toilet, and the listing quotes one to three business days to process an order. If you are not doing the plumbing yourself, add a plumber’s time to your budget.
Track Record and Trade-Offs
The Better Business Bureau has not accredited Deer Valley. Its public file holds six complaints spread over three years. The subjects are toilets that did not flush properly, installation kits with a missing or wrong part, and listed features that the delivered unit did not have.
The company answered every complaint, and five of the six are marked resolved, though a couple reached that point only after the customer pushed back on the first reply.
Deer Valley’s page for this model shows no star rating or review count, so there is no owner score to quote, and this page does not borrow one from elsewhere.

How It Compares
Within Deer Valley’s own range, three models are the ones to tell apart.
| Model | What sets it apart |
|---|---|
| DV-1S0029 | Entry model with foot-kick flush and the basics, but no blackout flush or UV |
| DV-1S0019 | Adds a blackout flush, a night light and soft-close hardware over the entry model |
| DV-1S0019-V3 | Adds purified-water cleaning, the full wash suite and UV sterilization |
The DV-1S0019 also has a nicer finish than the entry-level DV-1S0029. The V3 version of the DV-1S0019 adds more again.
Outside the brand, BCAN is the rival worth checking, since Deer Valley’s own site carries a collection labeled as an alternative to BCAN. The clearest gap is the warranty. Deer Valley states two years that include the mechanical parts and the bidet seat, while BCAN publishes one year against manufacturing defects.
Beyond that, the feature lists are close. Both show a 1.28 GPF flush and a standard 12-inch rough-in, plus a heated seat, warm-air drying, soft-close lids, and a flush that works by foot sensor or remote. BCAN lists UV-C nozzle sterilization as standard on several models, while Deer Valley limits UV to its V3 tier, so confirm the exact model number before assuming you are getting it.
Price, Shipping and Returns
Prices differ by version and change over time, so this page prints none. For the version you want, see current prices at Deer Valley’s own store.
Free shipping applies to orders over $1,000. Below that line, the checkout page shows what delivery costs. Orders are processed in one to three business days, and standard delivery then takes two to five business days.
Returns are accepted for 30 days after you receive the toilet, provided it is unused, in its original packaging and backed by proof of purchase. Deer Valley covers return shipping for defective, damaged or wrong items. For a simple change of mind, the brand says it may not cover that cost. Refunds are processed within 15 business days once the return arrives and is inspected.
The brand also advertises a 30-day risk-free trial for its smart toilets. Check the product page for the exact terms that apply to your order.
FAQ
What rough-in size does the DV-1S0019 use?
Twelve inches is the standard, and a 10-inch version is also offered. Check your current toilet’s distance from the wall to the floor bolts before you pick one.
Does it need electricity?
Yes. The seat heater, the dryer and the automatic functions need an outlet nearby. During a power cut, the blackout flush lets you flush by hand.
Which models include UV sterilization?
Deer Valley reserves UV sterilization for its V3-tier models, so read the model number on the listing before you order.
Should I hire a professional installer?
The brand’s product page advises it. Because the job joins plumbing to an electrical connection, plan on paying a plumber unless you are confident with both.
Is this the same company as the older Deer Valley toilet brand?
Not as far as the public record shows. Some older web articles blur a legacy Deer Valley toilet trademark together with this business. Deer Valley Bath was set up in 2019 by LETTOI LLC and has no confirmed tie to Kohler or American Standard.
The Verdict
The DV-1S0019 suits someone who wants a full smart toilet feature set without paying for a premium fixture name. It rewards a buyer who measures first, plans for installation and is comfortable with a young direct-to-consumer brand.
Skip it if you cannot confirm your rough-in size, if there is no electrical connection near the toilet, or if you want a long-established name with BBB accreditation. In those cases, look at the non-electric chair-height model in Deer Valley’s range or compare other brands.
If the specs match your bathroom, see Deer Valley’s range at its own store and double-check the model number and rough-in before you order.
