This is my first bidet seat and my wife and I really like. I don't know how we lived without one! I like this because it has many of the bells and whistles that the most expensive bidets have, yet it has a very slim profile. It looks almost like a regular toilet seat. The pressure seems very adequate, the temperature control is comfortable, the seat warmer warms, and the deodorizer deodorizes very well. Also, the night light is more elegant in my opinion than the more typical blue light. All is... Read More

This is my first bidet seat and my wife and I really like. I don't know how we lived without one! I like this because it has many of the bells and whistles that the most expensive bidets have, yet it has a very slim profile. It looks almost like a regular toilet seat. The pressure seems very adequate, the temperature control is comfortable, the seat warmer warms, and the deodorizer deodorizes very well. Also, the night light is more elegant in my opinion than the more typical blue light. All is well with this except, according to my wife, the front wash doesn't quite reach like expected. She has wiggle and move to position herself and it's just a little awkward. Don't know if other bidet seats have the same problem but it seems that since the nozzle is coming from the back of the seat it would be difficult to get the right position for a front wash. In a nutshell, we are happy with our purchase.  Read Less

This replaced a Toto C200 that stopped working. The Toto seat is more comfortable (totally subjective and the UX seat is still comfortable), front wash was better (reached required area without contortions with gentler spray) and dryer was better. But the Alpha is vastly superior in consistency of water spray pressure and is consistently stronger at level 2 versus full power on the C200, the oscillation feature travels much further and the 1 touch buttons (spray + oscillation and spray/oscillati...

This replaced a Toto C200 that stopped working.

But the Alpha is vastly superior in consistency of water spray pressure and is consistently stronger at level 2 versus full power on the C200, the oscillation feature travels much further and the 1 touch buttons (spray + oscillation and spray/oscillation/dry) are nice. As a male, I would rate it 5 stars but my wife rates it lower due to front wash issues. I'm not sure what the difference between the Toto and Alpha dryer is but the Toto seemed more effective (this could be due to the weaker Toto spray resulting in less wet area).  Read Less

*** 6.5 Month Update (September 2024)*** Well Alpha Bidet sent a label to return the unit to them. Then after over a month since I sent my unit in they sent an Open Box unit back. This replacement leaks at the point where the permanently connected water line connects to the bidet seat. So now we wait again. *** 5 Month Update (July 2024)*** Well with many of my reviews I do try to update periodically but for this review the update is n... Read More

*** 6.5 Month Update (September 2024)*** Well Alpha Bidet sent a label to return the unit to them. Then after over a month since I sent my unit in they sent an Open Box unit back. This replacement leaks at the point where the permanently connected water line connects to the bidet seat. So now we wait again. *** 5 Month Update (July 2024)*** Well with many of my reviews I do try to update periodically but for this review the update is not good news. Just over five months of use and this bidet seat has failed. It will still perform a front wash (which my wife reports she very rarely uses as it doesn't work well) but will not perform a rear wash either from the remote or the knob. All filters have been checked and cleaned (not that they were plugged at all. BTW there are 3 water filters despite the manual only documenting 2) with no change. I have contacted customer support and will update when/if they contact me with whatever resolution they have for me. I have reduced my rating from 4 stars to 1 star based on this failure to be able to perform the basic fuction of a bidet seat but will adjust if Alpha Bidet resolves my issue to my satisfaction. ***Original Review (February 2024)*** This is my first bidet seat and I am never going back to not having one! I do not really have any frame of reference as I had never previously used a bidet so this is the first for me. However I will try to be objective with my review Pros: The wash cycle does and excellent job on the "rear wash" but my wife reports that the front is a bit off target for her. The seat warmer has an "eco" setting that allows the seat to cool off between uses so it doesn't feel like you are sitting on the seat directly after someone else. The water can get nice and warm and does not run out. The seat warms up fairly quickly. The remote has customizable user setting for 2 people. You do not need the remote to use a basic wash function. Now for the cons: The water temp needs to be reset basically for each wash cycle or it will be cool (not cold just not warm). This is an easy single button press but annoying to need to re do it each time. The LED indicator on the side cannot be turned off and is fairly bright. I do not mean the led that illuminates inside the bowl but the exterior one on the control knob. This unit is in my main bath but the light is so bright it is annoying in the attached main bedroom! The dry cycle is nearly useless (though I understand this to be near universal). The dryer air can get way too hot as well. Finally, the opening into the toilet bowl is fairly small, even on an elongated toilet, and there is not enough room in front for me to avoid touching the front of the seat even while sitting all the way back. However, all together I really like this bidet seat and will not be going back to a regular seat. Read Less
