The American Standard Advanced Clean AC 1.0 Spa let Bidet has the basic necessities that you expect to find for one in this price range. The item comes in a massive box and probably takes longer to remove then to install. Directions are straightforward and installation takes around 15-20 minutes if you take your time.

The American Standard Advanced Clean AC 1.0 Spa let Bidet has the basic necessities that you expect to find for one in this price range. The item comes in a massive box and probably takes longer to remove then to install. Directions are straightforward and installation takes around 15-20 minutes if you take your time. If you've installed these before then you should be able to make the connections and be on your way in under 10. As with all powered bidets you will need a power outlet that is close by. If you still debating about which ones to look for, getting a powered unit offers many features that you will be glad to have. This particular unit has an easy to use side remote with clearly labeled buttoned. The nozzles are adjustable(3 cleansing modes) along with the water temperature and the heated seat (5 temperature settings) After use the nozzles clean themselves and hide back into storage. The water pressure successfully cleans the intended area and a deodorizer helps neutralize odors. Compared to similar brands the bidet is well made and offers features that many will truly enjoy. The only exception would be the lack of a blower which may or may not be a deal breaker for some. Overall, another quality product from American Standard that is worth your consideration. 4 stars.

With bidets becoming so popular in the United States, it makes sense for American Standard to offer a selection for sale at common hardware stores. The Japanese brand that popularized them, Toto, has sunk in quality with their recent offerings and this AC 2.0 model could be a better buy. Two of my favorite features in bidets are the heated seats and deodorizing fans, which are not possible on the cheaper unpowered models. The AC 2.0 has both and they work perfectly. The se...

With bidets becoming so popular in the United States, it makes sense for American Standard to offer a selection for sale at common hardware stores. The Japanese brand that popularized them, Toto, has sunk in quality with their recent offerings and this AC 2.0 model could be a better buy. Two of my favorite features in bidets are the heated seats and deodorizing fans, which are not possible on the cheaper unpowered models. The AC 2.0 has both and they work perfectly. The seat temperature can be adjusted to be just right, making me wish all my seats had this function. The fan turns on when in use and for a while after, with nearly silent operation. Other functions I look for are a misting of the bowl prior to each use to prevent fecal matter from sticking and a drying fan. Unfortunately, the AC 2.0 does not have either. The self-cleaning wands works reliably and the control panel buttons are big and easy to use. The labels are confusing, with the "bidet" being for feminine hygiene. I got a spray in the balls when I pressed that one. The "cleansing" button is for anal use and can be adjusted a bit to hit the right spot, but the main adjustment comes from sitting position. The massage function is pretty lame and doesn't do much. The hot water tank is very small and the water becomes cold quickly. I can't fault the model too much for this, because in-line heaters for unlimited hot water are never available in this price range. An option would be running a hot water line to the bidet, but this would lead to a lot of energy loss due to hot water sitting in the lines, mostly unused for the bidet. For those few who have a small water heater near the toilet, such as under the sink, that would be a good option. Otherwise, just enjoy the warm water while it lasts. In terms of water stream pressure, it seems largely dependent on your water pressure. My water pressure is unfortunately a little low. Like many bidet seats, this one has a chunky rounded plastic design that would look at home in a hospital. Build quality is great, though, with a slow close hinges and thick rubber pads to keep things quiet. Installation was quick and painless. There are so many options for bidet seats that the one I would choose would vary from day to day as prices change. What I can say is that this one is built well and does the job. It holds its own against other options in this price range. Read Less
