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

Just received and installed my Alpha ONE V2 Bidet Seat and quite pleased with the product so far after just 2 days. I have been searching for a quality bidet that did not require electricity and instead of the more simple ones that mount under your current seat, I opted for this model and glad I did. The Alpha ONE V2 feels like a well made OEM type product. I'm pleased that the plastic construction strength and weight seems to be on par with normal OEM seats, but it was the soft close seat/lid a... Read More

Just received and installed my Alpha ONE V2 Bidet Seat and quite pleased with the product so far after just 2 days. I have been searching for a quality bidet that did not require electricity and instead of the more simple ones that mount under your current seat, I opted for this model and glad I did. The Alpha ONE V2 feels like a well made OEM type product. I'm pleased that the plastic construction strength and weight seems to be on par with normal OEM seats, but it was the soft close seat/lid and brass plumbing that finally helped make the decision to buy. The packaging was first rate, double boxed, shrink wrapped and soft foam protected. All the hardware you need to install is included, including a T-type connector and steel braided 90 degree hose. All in all a good value in my mind for less than a nice dinner out. All you need is a screwdriver, large pliers or adjustable wrench. I used plumbers Teflon tape at the connections. Installation took about 30 minutes as I'm fussy about fit. Finding the perfect location in lining up the seat to the front rim before tightening the quick connect seat base, took maybe 3 tries, but once there, firmly tightens up with expanding rubber connectors and does not move. The fit on my Kohler elongated is excellent. The earlier comment about the white color is correct, it is a pure bright white tone.. See pictures attached. That said, it doesn't bother us at all, as it has a quality look and feel. I'm impressed with the smooth function of the control lever which also adjusts pressure at the business end. The ambient temp water is refreshing. I can recommend this unit for those like me looking for a simple, high quality, non-electrical "Asian" style bidet to enjoy at home. 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
