After receiving a Toto bidet seat as a Christmas gift, my husband and I have become converts. These things are a total game changer in feeling clean and fresh all day long. With this new “enlightened world view” my husband and I set out to convert all of the remaining toilet seats in our domain. Unfortunately as we began to add up the number of toilets in our two homes and the associated costs we began to consider alternatives. We began reflecting on what features were the most important to us and which ones we could live without. The American Standard was less expensive and looked promising so we decided to purchase it to test and compare with our more expensive Toto. We installed it in the powder room of our main home and we’re pleasantly surprised. While it lacks the features of a remote control, dryer, bowl pre mister, air deodorizer, presets, etc, it has the features that we want and use the most. It also produces a larger spray of water than the Toto which we prefer. It fit great on our powder room’s elongated toilet and we couldn’t have been more happy with our decision. We also have cottage which has a Kohler Memories round toilet. Since it’s round and not elongated we initially thought that the American Standard wouldn’t work. We strongly prefer the look of a low profile bidet seat (especially on a round bowl) but the only ones we could find were by Toto and they were running around a grand. Having been so pleased with our American Standard bidet seat we took some measurements and decided to take a chance and see if we could make it fit on our round toilet. The installation went great and fits with plenty of room! The bidet seat’s shape isn’t a perfect match for the round bowl but we decided that it matches up well enough for our casual beach cottage and the overall appearance was pretty good. If American Standard would ever consider making the more perfect round shaped seat available we will replace it in a heartbeat! Until that time we will happily live with this one and possibly upgrade to the more expensive round Toto model down the road once this one has lived out it’s useful existence. Since I wasn’t able to find any photos of this American Standard seat mounted to a round toilet I’ve added a few shots to this review so people can see what it looks like. Read Less
