I've used many different bidet seats before, all of them are manual, but the SpaLet Bidet Seat is a different story! It is an amazing product that must be in every house. First, the idea of using a bidet is fantastic. It leaves you 100% clean and boost your confidence in your personal hygiene. I don't know why here in America we still insist on using toilet papers, it something that I consider very primitive in the 21st century.

I've used many different bidet seats before, all of them are manual, but the SpaLet Bidet Seat is a different story! It is an amazing product that must be in every house. First, the idea of using a bidet is fantastic. It leaves you 100% clean and boost your confidence in your personal hygiene. I don't know why here in America we still insist on using toilet papers, it something that I consider very primitive in the 21st century. The SpaLet Bidet Seat is very well build, with high quality materials. It comes with everything you need for installing it. Installation is very straight forward. The installation manual is clear and simple. If you are a DIY person it will take you less than 30 mins to install it. For me, it took me about 40 minutes as I had to remove a manual bidet seat before installing the SpaLet seat. The only thing that you have to consider is a GFCI power outlet near the toilet to supply electricity, this wasn't a problem for me though. The seat is loaded with a lot of features. The remote makes it convenient and very easy to use. It is easy enough for my 4 and 7 years old girls, they love it and named it "The Super Potty"!! :) My favorite feature is the warm water. It is very convenient in the cold winter days when the water temperature is freezing cold (comparing it to my old manual bidet seat which lacks this feature). The adjustable water pressure is OK, but I wished the highest settings would be a bit stronger. The heated seat feature is nice although I have it turned off all the time as I don't find it very useful. My wife and the little girls like the women's cleaning feature a lot. The slow-close lid is nice and adds the luxury look to the toilet seat. The only con I found is the power saving mode, having to press the eco button to enable it for 8 hours is not convenient - something that I forget to do it every night. I wish if it was automated. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product. I recommend it in every bathroom. If you want to do yourself a favor, buy one and try it, you will never be disappointed. The SpaLet Bidet Seat will definitely change your life for the better...forever!!!  Read Less

This American standard bidet gives me a new kind of cleansing experience which is a new standard of clean and comfort. The posterior and anterior cleaning is great. I love the idea of different level settings for water pressure, water temperature and heated seat temperature that allow the freedom to personalize the cleansing experience since we all are different. The Posterior massage oscillation is new kind of experience. The lid won't bang down since it has a slow close feature and it can be... Read More

This American standard bidet gives me a new kind of cleansing experience which is a new standard of clean and comfort. The posterior and anterior cleaning is great. I love the idea of different level settings for water pressure, water temperature and heated seat temperature that allow the freedom to personalize the cleansing experience since we all are different. The Posterior massage oscillation is new kind of experience. The lid won't bang down since it has a slow close feature and it can be easily removed with a push of a button in case you need to do a detailed cleaning. The installation was very easy and it took only about 45 minutes. The only thing I am not very comfortable is the bulky wireless remote control, which is about 10.5 inches long and about 3.5 inches wide. Overall it is a great bidet with great features and for a good price.  Read Less

This is my first ever SpaLet style seat at home, although I have seen them before in hotels. I wasn't ever comfortable trying out the spray at a hotel because I didn't actually know where the water came from or how they worked, but I did a bunch of research before ordering this and am now a lot more comfortable with the idea of it. In general, I do like it and am glad that I installed it, but it doesn't totally clean down yonder. Three big things to me after researching wer... Read More

This is my first ever SpaLet style seat at home, although I have seen them before in hotels. I wasn't ever comfortable trying out the spray at a hotel because I didn't actually know where the water came from or how they worked, but I did a bunch of research before ordering this and am now a lot more comfortable with the idea of it. In general, I do like it and am glad that I installed it, but it doesn't totally clean down yonder. Three big things to me after researching were: (1) the water comes straight from the main wall supply, and is stored in an internal tank in the seat where it is heated, (2) the nozzles fully retract under a cover when not in use, and (3) the nozzles are self-cleaning. So, assuming that the internal tank doesn't get grimy, the water should be clean. The nozzles aren't out while you're taking care of business, and they clean themselves (I believe before and after use), so they should also be clean. Before getting into the pros of this unit, there are some things that I want to point out: (*) When installed with the seat up, it blocks off about 15% of the opening to the bowl on the side of the toilet tank. I hadn't ever seen an image of what this looks like with the seat up, and that surprised me a bit. Makes sense because the nozzle assembly has to be forward of the lip of the bowl. I just hadn't thought of that (*) While it does reduce the amount of wiping, it doesn't eliminate it. Maybe I just need to work on my technique, but I've been using it for two weeks now (*) The internal tank helps reduce the current draw from the outlet compared to a seat that heats the water on demand, but it also means that when the hot water runs out...you're going to get sprayed with cold water. Well, you, or whoever follows you. The cold water is bearable, but definitely not preferable (*) To state the probably obvious, but I hadn't thought about it before reading someone state it - you need an electrical outlet for this. Like others, I'm currently running an extension cord because I don't have an outlet near my toilet (how many people do?). I do think that I like it enough to install an outlet, though The things that I really like about it are: (*) Super easy to install. The most time consuming part for me was totally cleaning the whole toilet and surrounding area. Installing this took maybe ten minutes (*) Heated seat and water spray, with five different settings for each. I didn't think that I'd care about the heated seat, but I'm digging it. The heated spray, IMO, is an absolute must (see note above) (*) The self-cleaning retractable nozzles, which I think are standard for this type of seat (*) It's comfortable to sit on. I'm used to wooden seats and wasn't sure about a plastic one, but I like it. All of the surfaces are nicely rounded (*) Adjustable nozzle position. Not really a requirement, but it's nice to have (*) Adjustable spray pressure. You can go from a gentle clean to something more brisk, but none of them are actually abrasive feeling. I was afraid that this would feel like a fire hose on my nether regions, but it absolutely doesn't Something that I'm neutral on: (*) The remote. In some ways, it's nice that it isn't right on the seat. But, you need to find a place for it (I currently just sit it on the back of my toilet tank). I think that I'd actually prefer the controls to be on the side of the seat (which is an option that they offer in this seat) (*) Plastic versus stainless steel nozzles. Sure, I'd like stainless steel, but Toto (the leading brand) also uses plastic, so they must not be that bad Something that it doesn't have: (*) Forced air drying. After getting this and researching some more, I learned that other models have heated forced air drying. I think that would be nice, but since I think that you'll need to wipe anyway, wiping away a little water is no big issue to me I absolutely like it and am glad that I got it, but it's not perfect. Be prepared to still have to do some clean up afterwards, but it does feel better than wiping alone. Read Less

We installed the bidet about a month ago and have been using it since. I am someone who is rather used to assemble furniture myself and to do minor repair around the house, including light plumbing. The installation manual of the bidet was nice enough, easy to understand and no major errors jumped at me. That's important because nothing is more frustration than a bad manual.

We installed the bidet about a month ago and have been using it since. I am someone who is rather used to assemble furniture myself and to do minor repair around the house, including light plumbing. The installation manual of the bidet was nice enough, easy to understand and no major errors jumped at me. That's important because nothing is more frustration than a bad manual. The installation itself was a little tricky, though. Our water connection between faucet and toilet reservoir was a fixed pipe. I needed to exchange it to a flexible one, in order to get the necessary room for the T-junction, the junction where the water splits between going to the reservoir and the bidet. In the same trip to our local hardware store I also got yet another adjustable wrench, as the standard IKEA one does not apply enough force and the other ones would be too large to handle between toilet bowl and wall. I then tried for a really long while (2 hours maybe?) to get said T-junction flush against the water inlet pipe of the reservoir. I needed to really force the rubber washer inside the winding of the nut, adjust the angle while laying under the toilet bowl to screw the stuff together (get out those disinfectant wipes before going there). The whole construction of bidet pipes would always tilt the T-junction in a certain direction, it wouldn't be flush and would then leak. From all those readjustment the plastic winding of the reservoir inlet pipe ended up torn and it would leak even more. Eventually I gave up, completely exhausted and annoyed. My husband then brute forced it together, unloading a lot of anger into that wrench. Then it stopped leaking and now it sits there rock solid. I am not a weak person, not at all, but I did not manage to get it tight enough apparently. I deviated from the manual in that I did not screw the holder of the remote to the wall and rather used those velcro tape stripes meant for hanging heavier picture frames to tape the holder to our tile wall. I placed it above the toilet paper holder, which seems to be the perfect position for that thing. We never take the remote out of the holder and just press the buttons there. Oh, and how many buttons there are! The remote is very intuitive to use, but the bidet has so many features! You can adjust the water temperature (my favorite), the seat temperature (that'll be nice come winter in the mornings), spray angle and spray position (hello there, monthly female re-occurrence) and intensity (we don't change that much though), and some more stuff that I frankly haven't used yet. I love that I use way less toilet paper, that I am cleaner and that the water is warm and ends up just where it needs to go. I did use many bidets in the past and this one is by far the nicest to handle. My husband loves that the nozzle only appears when in use, and otherwise is out of the way of action. My husband's family is from the Middle East, where bidets are as common in the toilets as microwave ovens are in the kitchen. And they love this bidet. Now they're asking me where we got it from and whether I can install it at theirs. In the meantime they love using our restroom. Which is not weird at all.... Bottom line: Once you got it installed (and yes, you could get a plumber to do that for you), it's a dream to use and have. Go for it!  Read Less
