I have enjoyed having an underseat, non-electric bidet for some time. But after recently installing a one-piece toilet with "French curves" (wide flair at the back of the bowl to the tank rather than rounded), I found that my old bidet would not fit! No problem, I thought. I'll just find one that does. To my surprise, there are almost none that do! There are a couple of high-end ($500-$600) electric bidets that say they "might" work with "some models." But I'm not about to pay that kind of mone... Read More

I have enjoyed having an underseat, non-electric bidet for some time. But after recently installing a one-piece toilet with "French curves" (wide flair at the back of the bowl to the tank rather than rounded), I found that my old bidet would not fit! No problem, I thought. I'll just find one that does. To my surprise, there are almost none that do! There are a couple of high-end ($500-$600) electric bidets that say they "might" work with "some models." But I'm not about to pay that kind of money for what should be a simple device like this! Fortunately, I found the Bidet King website, where I found this bidet. It doesn't say so, although it should, but it certainly looked to me from the design that it should work. The problem with other units is that the control and connection is mounted too closely to the bowl and the connection mounts from underneath. Since with this model, the connection extends out to the side and the control is above the bowl line, it shouldn't be a problem. And it wasn't. The instructions are a bit lacking, but it's easy enough to figure out, and I'm sure Bidet King will help if you have trouble. There is a curved connector on one end of the braided hose, which I assume is intended to connect to the unit. Although this could have worked, since the connector can be positioned to point rearwards, I found it easiest to connect the other end, which is straight, and connect the curved end to the coupling that joins the water supply, tank, and bidet together. Works like a charm! Although this design is slightly more expensive than the under-seat units, I think it is better anyway. It incorporates a high quality toilet seat, with the soft-close feature. Such seats typically run about $40 or more by themselves. It also provides a more "finished" look. The front and back washing options also allow for some options in terms of positioning of the stream, even when used for washing just the back side. I would recommend this unit to anyone considering a non-electric bidet. The side-controls otherwise have a somewhat messy look to them. This one is also quite easy to remove for cleaning. The connector hose remains attached, but the seat/bidet can be easily removed and replaced. As to non-electric, I wouldn't consider anything else. Unless you are a very tender flower, you do not need warm water in that area. It's no more sensitive to cold than your hands, or your mouth. You never think twice about picking up a cold beverage in your hand and dousing your mouth with ice cold water! And blow-dry? Please. I can't imagine using the warm water or blow-dry functions even if they were available. And talk about a hassle to install!  Read Less

This is a great basic bidet that requires no electricity. It has two arms which are even handy for guys when they may be sitting further forward. The big downside to the non-electric bidet is that it does not warm the water so in Northern climes folks shiver at the thought of an "ice-water" bidet. The reality is that it isn't much of a problem because it uses so little water that it is using the water that has been in the pipes in the house so is at room temp unless you flushed twice before usin...

This is a great basic bidet that requires no electricity. It has two arms which are even handy for guys when they may be sitting further forward. The big downside to the non-electric bidet is that it does not warm the water so in Northern climes folks shiver at the thought of an "ice-water" bidet. The reality is that it isn't much of a problem because it uses so little water that it is using the water that has been in the pipes in the house so is at room temp unless you flushed twice before using the bidet. But you wouldn't do that again. It was an easy install for anyone that is slightly handy. The biggest risk is overtightening the fitting that goes to plastic tank fill line and cracking the plastic fitting. Tighten it by hand then give it another 1/4 turn with a wrench. Turn the water back on. No leak? leave it alone. A leak, give it another 1/8 turn to stop the leak.  Read Less

This bidet is amazing!! It has a frontal and rear sprayer to clean you. The sprayer has enough water force that leaves you totally clean, I needed it after surgery. It made it easier to use the bathroom since I had limitations. The seat comes down in slow motion. It is the best thing to have in bathroom for cleanliness and very easy to install. We love it! I wish I could have one in every bathroom. I have 3 and a half bathrooms. Plan to get another one for the guest room in future. I would recom... Read More

This bidet is amazing!! It has a frontal and rear sprayer to clean you. The sprayer has enough water force that leaves you totally clean, I needed it after surgery. It made it easier to use the bathroom since I had limitations. The seat comes down in slow motion. It is the best thing to have in bathroom for cleanliness and very easy to install. We love it! I wish I could have one in every bathroom. I have 3 and a half bathrooms. Plan to get another one for the guest room in future. I would recommend this bidet since it clear both areas instead on just one. The product is made of good quality it's a very nice looking seat too. It comes with the entire top and bottom seat cover closes on its own. The lever on the side of the seat allows you to choose the amount of water simply by switching it to front or back. I know that when you get this bidet you will want more so order more if you can. Your bathroom experience will change the way you clean forever. Love it!  Read Less

Non-Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilets in White We have used a bidet attachment for several years now, and miss it a lot when we travel or visit. Our old one was about half the price and about half the quality. It began leaking a few weeks ago so I chose this Alpha unit to replace it. Many of the plastic components in the old one, are made with metal in the Alpha, and I expect will have a longer life. My husband installed it with no trouble.

Non-Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilets in White We have used a bidet attachment for several years now, and miss it a lot when we travel or visit. Our old one was about half the price and about half the quality. It began leaking a few weeks ago so I chose this Alpha unit to replace it. Many of the plastic components in the old one, are made with metal in the Alpha, and I expect will have a longer life. My husband installed it with no trouble. We both noticed the cleaner lines of our new bidet attachment, without the bulky side panel that had two plastic dials of which we used only one anyway. The Alpha has a slim chrome control, with a much better, well aimed spray for front or back. I took one star off for two reasons, color and size. Although less than an inch difference from a normal elongated seat, it does feel smaller since most of the mechanism is moved from the bulky side panel, to the back of the seat. Also, the shade of white for the Alpha is a blue base white and makes our new Toto white Drake look yellowish.  Read Less

Although bidet is desired for personal hygiene most builders do not include them so most of the homes do not have them. In recent years there have been several after market products which are installed on a toilet bowl below the toilet seat. This causes back of the seat to raise above the rim and the front of the seat to hang above the rim. This causes seat to eventually crack and has to be replaced. We love this product because the wash mechanism, seat and seat cover are all in one unit. With t... Read More

Although bidet is desired for personal hygiene most builders do not include them so most of the homes do not have them. In recent years there have been several after market products which are installed on a toilet bowl below the toilet seat. This causes back of the seat to raise above the rim and the front of the seat to hang above the rim. This causes seat to eventually crack and has to be replaced. We love this product because the wash mechanism, seat and seat cover are all in one unit. With this innovative design the seat simply rests on the rim - no more gap. Installation was very easy. Simply install the innovative bracket to the toilet bowl using expansion nuts and then slide the whole unit into it until you hear a click. I had never seen the expansion nuts until now but they make installation very easy as you don't have to reach under the toilet bowl. If you need to remove the unit simply push a button on the side and pull it out. We like that unlike other products this product has two nozzles (front and back washing) and a simple turn on and off lever on the side of the seat - much nicer than add on units which have a big side arm with knobs. All hardware is included. It would have been nice if the instructions had included a list of tools needed including the wrench sizes needed. Frankly I don't know why restaurants and other public places do not install this product as it would be more hygienic and leave one with refreshing feeling after hands-free cleaning. No need to buy bathroom tissues and save the trees. Truly a green product. Go for it.  Read Less

The ease of attachment is great and keeps from having to hug the bowl when installing the unit. While the description says it is elongated it's a bit of a stretch. When they were searching for a way to keep a low profile they decided to leave the lid as elongated and the seat is closer to a round and is shorter than the lid to allow for a lower profile of the unit because it doesn't sit on the swat but the toilet bowl itself. The spray nozzle works well and seems to have plenty of pressure but f... Read More

The spray nozzle works well and seems to have plenty of pressure but finding the off location between the front and back wash nozzle is sometimes less than simple. It does have a spot that clicks where it is supposed to shut off but regularly continues to drip and need slight adjustments on the valve to close it off. Will I continue to make it work, yes. Would I purchase again, probably not.  Read Less

I installed bidet today, January 27th 2018. Company provided 2 ways to attach mounting plate to toilet bowel, I chose to attach mounting plate using the 2 plastic screws with plastic nuts which are screwed on by hand but one of the 2 plastic screws was milled incorrectly forcing me to use adjustable wrench once the nut was half way screwed on causing a little frustration. The provided tee will not work, the threaded side which screws onto the tank side is not designed correctly. The tee might wo... Read More

I installed bidet today, January 27th 2018. Company provided 2 ways to attach mounting plate to toilet bowel, I chose to attach mounting plate using the 2 plastic screws with plastic nuts which are screwed on by hand but one of the 2 plastic screws was milled incorrectly forcing me to use adjustable wrench once the nut was half way screwed on causing a little frustration. The provided tee will not work, the threaded side which screws onto the tank side is not designed correctly. The tee might work if you used tread tape but I would not chance and instead used a 3 way tee from Hibbent (bought the hibbent tee from amazon). If you use the tee from hibbent you can’t use the provided water supply hose which goes from tee into the connector on the bid it seat, you will need to purchase a 1/2” FIP 3/8” Comp supply hose which can be found at any large building supply comp such as Lowe’s or Homedepot. I have pictures of the hibbent tee valve and hose which I used and purchased separate. I purchase because I feel the solid brass valve this company used is far superior than the plastic valves used by others in this price range. Install took a little longer because of the messed up thread on one of the two plastic screws provided but the install took only about 30 minutes. I had to remove toilet seat to adjust the mounting plate one notch closer because the toilet lid wasn’t flush with front of toilet bowel...this is normal unless you get lucky and have the mounting plate at correct setting on your first try. The mounting plate is made to allow these adjustments if needed and a good feature. Now as far as butt testing the bidet seat, the pressure from the 2 wands are great. Push the lever backwards toward tank and you get bottom spray from one of the 2 nozzles, push lever forward toward front of toilet and you get frontal spray from the other nozzle. A problem I had was the nozzle rubbed up against my bum and would not retract once lever spray was turned off. I have to position myself just right when I sit or nozzle won’t retract until I either lift myself up a little or tilt myself forward a bit. I know what you may be thinking but I’m not that big a guy :) Unfortunately you can’t adjust the angel of the nozzles. Now for my 2 cents worth, the nozzles need to come out slightly lower to clear/prevent rubbing against the bum. I’m not rating this product lower for the messed up screw (happens nor for the incorrect 3 way tee but I have to lower it by 2 stars due to the nozzle issue. Hopefully the company will improve on nozzle issue for future improvement) PS, I did buy the Alpha One V2 improved seat design. One last thought to the company, would thicker bumpers too the seat increase the distance ones bum would have in retrospect to the nozzles? February 1, 2018: Now that I have got to use the bidet for a few days. This manufacturer could nail this item if they would make the seat itself adjustable by 2 inches forward or backwards, that would let the user adjust so spray would hit the bullseye :) without having to shift ones bum around on the seat. Plus make the seat sit about quarter inch higher so wand does not occasionally rub the bum or have wands come out at a lower angle. Read Less
