My first interaction with a bidet was in Colombia with the old fashioned kind. You turn a knob. Well, since I had never used one, I was sitting on the regular toilet and turned the knob. Needless to say, the pressure of that water (it instantly hit the ceiling) made it so I never considered trying it for fear of my nether regions being blasted off. Fast forward 15 years and I was traveling in Asia. They had bidets that I tried and really liked. The benefits of the bidet cannot be understated. As... Read More

My first interaction with a bidet was in Colombia with the old fashioned kind. You turn a knob. Well, since I had never used one, I was sitting on the regular toilet and turned the knob. Needless to say, the pressure of that water (it instantly hit the ceiling) made it so I never considered trying it for fear of my nether regions being blasted off. Fast forward 15 years and I was traveling in Asia. They had bidets that I tried and really liked. The benefits of the bidet cannot be understated. As I've heard elsewhere, where else on the body do we use dry paper to clean off anything? I am completely converted. This Alpha GX Wave has enough settings for even the pickiest person. Even on the lowest warm setting, it is not uncomfortably cold. We keep ours on the Eco Power version and it heats up enough for when we need it. My wife was hesitant to try it but now has fallen in love with it even more than I have. And the children race to the one bathroom that has this installed so they can use it. Only the 3-year-old hasn't appreciated the oh-so-clean feeling one gets after using the toilet. I highly recommend this to anyone. I purchased the elongated to fit our toilet. The savings on TP and the near elimination of TP going into the septic tank will more than make this worth it in the long run as well. Well worth every penny if you truly want to feel clean after using the loo.  Read Less

Why use a toilet paper when you can clean with water with this high quality bidet?. This GX Wave Alpha Bidet is an electric model and is loaded with several nice features such as heating the seat as well as the water for cold mornings. All parts are included. Installation is simple (about 1/2 hour or so) but I spent a lot more time in removing the old toilet seat than installing this bidet. Simply install the mounting plate to the toilet bowl and slide the seat assembly until it locks. My connec... Read More

Why use a toilet paper when you can clean with water with this high quality bidet?. This GX Wave Alpha Bidet is an electric model and is loaded with several nice features such as heating the seat as well as the water for cold mornings. All parts are included. Installation is simple (about 1/2 hour or so) but I spent a lot more time in removing the old toilet seat than installing this bidet. Simply install the mounting plate to the toilet bowl and slide the seat assembly until it locks. My connections without the Teflon plumbing tape were leaking water so be sure to have a roll of Teflon plumbing tape on hand as you will need it for couple of threads. The seat and seat cover have soft close feature and we love it. No more noise of seat hitting the rim. It has two energy saving features (power save) which is nice to have. Anticipating having an electric bidet someday I had installed a GFCI outlet by the floor near the toilet bowl (see the picture) and it certainly came in handy. If you do not have a GFCI outlet then you should not buy an electric bidet for safety. Home Depot sells many non-electric bidet attachments. If you have never used water for cleaning you are in for a pleasant surprise. It will leave you refreshingly clean. This product has a one year warranty.  Read Less

I have a 3K Toto toliet....and 2 other more expensive Bidets on other toilets....this is the least expensive one I own.....but it is just as good..... The Toto opens and shuts and is auto flush...so this does not compare, but this is just as good as the other similar added Bidets that I own. Great pressure...warm seat and water..... easy to use with the controls on the side....other ones all have remotes..... do like the seat side controls...works for me...but I am not a large person....not sure...

Tested it for the kids play issue.... water did not shoot out when I pretended to sit on it. Perfect to stop kids from messing with it. LOVE the "off" button, so I can easily turn it off when long time not in use (I have to unplug my other toilet seats to turn them off..... like this seat a lot..... it is lower than most of the other ones, so less obnoxious to look at. Super easy to install.....I just did another brand last month....this was even easier! it was NO problem to put in and I am a 50 year old female (who is handy)  Read Less

I just installed it and it was very easy, package contained everything needed and took about 20 minutes including reading instructions. Luckily I had GFCI outlet close to it and cord was just enough to reach it. It has everything I ever wanted. Easy to understand menu. Buttons for Rear (oscillating) stream and Rear+ which has more powerful stream. Rear+ stream work only when seated on bidet with kids mode off. Front wash (feminine). Pulse button which streams from low to higher pressure I love... Read More

I just installed it and it was very easy, package contained everything needed and took about 20 minutes including reading instructions. Luckily I had GFCI outlet close to it and cord was just enough to reach it. It has everything I ever wanted. Easy to understand menu. Buttons for Rear (oscillating) stream and Rear+ which has more powerful stream. Rear+ stream work only when seated on bidet with kids mode off. Front wash (feminine). Pulse button which streams from low to higher pressure I love this feature. Its enjoyable feeling. Self cleaning nozzles with optional manual rinse mode. 5 water heater levels. 5 levels of water presure. 5 levels for heated air blower. Kids mode This is my first ever bidet that I bought and installed. Heated sit and its a little softer than plastic sit that I had before. 2 energy saving modes First one has green light keeps water heated always at designated temperature and shuts off if not used in 24 hours. Second power saving mode has red light and automatically turns water heater only when seated on bidet heating water for few minute before use. As I understand red power saving mode takes less electricity. I didn't try to adjust nozzle position but it was already in the comfortable spot for me. Air dryer work well too but takes few minutes to dry anyway. Overall it best bang for your buck. All the luxury features at low cost and quality is good (korea). Stainless steel retractable nozzle. I'm much happier now then when I was using toilet paper. I takes less time and effort and you get better results cleaner refreshed feeling nit scratching sensitive parts especially when have hair there. I absolutely love this bidet especially it Pulse feature and heated seat and enjoy to use it. At beginning I was looking at lower cost bidet attachments but realized they not work that well need additional water valve to adjust pressure and can't be attached to any toilet seat but need only flat on the underneath seats and may require additional bumpers added to the seat. After all it came up at about 70$ so I decided it worth to spend a little extra and get this everything included bidet with heated water and seat and water pressure levels not required additional water valve . So Im very happy about this bidet purchase and don't regret any second. Would purchase again for my second and third bathrooms and recommend to my sister and anybody else to go get it! Read Less

Having previously owned a $30 add-on bidet that worked very well for 3-4 months... until the plastic nozzle eroded to the point it was more like a garden hose than a targeted stream, I sought a bidet featuring a stainless steel nozzle. Unfortunately they were 4 to 10 times the cost. But no matter, I decided to give this one a try. First off, my SOLE INTEREST was the stainless steel nozzle...

Having previously owned a $30 add-on bidet that worked very well for 3-4 months... until the plastic nozzle eroded to the point it was more like a garden hose than a targeted stream, I sought a bidet featuring a stainless steel nozzle. Unfortunately they were 4 to 10 times the cost. But no matter, I decided to give this one a try. First off, my SOLE INTEREST was the stainless steel nozzle... I had NO interest in any of the extra features, as the more complex they got, the more trouble I'd expect later. (And I was correct) #1 unit lasted barely 4 days before it developed a continuous dripping out of a weep-hole adjacent to the nozzle... something Alpha tech support agreed was not normal, so I returned the unit for a replacement. #2 unit is still functioning 'normally' after 3 weeks of use. That said, here is what 'normal' means: PROS: - Easy to install - Three separate nozzles offer good 'targeting' - All kinds of "cool" extra features (my S.O. likes the heated seat but does not use the bidet part at all) CONS: - Takes away 4" of open bowl space (feels like using an RV camper toilet) - Unnecessary extra features requiring electricity (Had to buy a cord to run from wall on other side of the vanity, giving up an outlet so had to get a splitter as well) - Very slow... 4-5 seconds to respond compared to the INSTANT flow turning the knob on the $30 bidet - A dryer? Really? Even 90 seconds of pitifully weak warmed air isn't enough - Randomly flushes (cleaning?) the nozzle and makes weird noises after sitting on the seat but not using any of the controls. - Inadequate pressure... more like a tickle than a spray to CLEAN thoroughly even using Rear+ at the highest pressure setting it is FAR less than the pressure of the $30 bidet. - Stainless Steel nozzles? (THE ONE critical feature I sought) Not a chance, just plastic nozzles INSIDE a stainless steel HOUSING. So I expect them to wear out, although not as quickly due to the low pressure. As to the low pressure issue: I have a feeling it is a result of using an electric pump to provide the variable pressure settings, whereas IF it allowed full water pressure to come through on the highest setting, I would LOVE it. Wrapping it up... If you have a very sensitive tush and seek all the bells-and-whistles like: Rear, Rear+, Front, Dry, Pulse, Spray Pressure, Dry Temp, Nozzle Position, Seat Temp, Water Temp, Power Save, Nozzle Clean, Child Mode and LED Nightlight... then this IS the bidet I would recommend for you.
