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 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. We both noticed the cleaner lines of our new b... Read More

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

I purchased this bidet after using an even cheaper under the seat washlet bidet attachment for a couple of years. The washlet bidet was ok, but getting it to work consistently with the toilet seat was an ongoing problem. So, I thought I'd move up to a "full" bidet in which the seat and waterworks are all of one unit. We live in a very warm part of the country with our water supply pipes running through the attic, so we don't need a hot water supply to the bidet. When I found the Alpha bidet the... Read More

We live in a very warm part of the country with our water supply pipes running through the attic, so we don't need a hot water supply to the bidet. When I found the Alpha bidet the price and reviews looked good. So far, my main comment is that you get what you pay for. The plastic is rather flimsy. I can't get the seat to sit straight on the toilet without it canting off to one side. I've ordered additional expansion bolts that I hope will help with that problem, but I remain skeptical. The spray is much better than the old under-seat bidet attachment it replaces. However, the control valve is poor. The shut-off point is very sensitive and you have to feel for the little click to get it right or the spray will continue to drip. If you miss the shut-off point the water goes to the other spray (fore or back area), which can cause some extra water clean up. Overall it appears to suit the old adage that "You get what you pay for".  Read Less
