We have had the AquaWash 2.0 SpaLet Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilet for about a month now. This is our first bidet experience so we can not compare to any other kind of bidet, but we are very impressed with American Standard's attention to detail. The seat is comfortable, all the features are easy to access, and the wands work perfectly. First, we recommend you look at the videos from American Standard. We find they are true to the product.

We have had the AquaWash 2.0 SpaLet Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilet for about a month now. This is our first bidet experience so we can not compare to any other kind of bidet, but we are very impressed with American Standard's attention to detail. The seat is comfortable, all the features are easy to access, and the wands work perfectly. First, we recommend you look at the videos from American Standard. We find they are true to the product. We thought it looked like there was not much room in the seat opening because the wands are stored in the back, but that is not a problem at all. It is very comfy. The seat is not cold at all during the warmer months, but we tried the heater quiet a bit in the first few days and it works very well. We do not see a need for the remotes that come with other bidets. Adjusting the temp of both the seat and the water is very easy to do while sitting. The water is heated, but it will take a second or two after the water begins to get warm. The dial to select which wand to use and the pressure of the water is all in one and is also super easy to reach and turn. There is a sensor on the left side of the seat and as soon as pressure is applied there is a rush of water that rinses the wand area. If you have someone who sits every time they do anything in the bathroom it will use water and we do wonder if this is going to effect the water bill. Sliding the seat off for cleaning and cleaning the wands is really easy as well. Again, attention to detail was not missed. Installation was pretty easy and only took about 30 minutes. All that was needed in our situation was a crescent wrench. Don't forget you need an electrical outlet next to your toilet. The night light is a nice bonus. It is a very subtle shade of blue. Not at all intrusive to your eyes in a dark room. It would be nice if there was a way to turn it off in the day or have a night sensor. If you are looking for a bidet and not interested in replacing your entire toilet you can not go wrong with the AquaWash 2.0 SpaLet Bidet Seat. Seriously.  Read Less

While not my first experience with bidets, this is the first one I was allowed in the house. While leaps and bounds better than the basic bolt on cleaners spraying cold water it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of higher end bidets with remotes, natural sounds and driers. Still at half the price of top shelf units this ended up being a fantastic buy for comfortable freshness. Overall I'm impressed with the Aquawash.

While not my first experience with bidets, this is the first one I was allowed in the house. While leaps and bounds better than the basic bolt on cleaners spraying cold water it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of higher end bidets with remotes, natural sounds and driers. Still at half the price of top shelf units this ended up being a fantastic buy for comfortable freshness. Overall I'm impressed with the Aquawash. It's easy to install with the supplied bracket, provides great cleaning, includes intuitive controls, comes off with the push of a button for cleaning and adds additional creature comforts (heated seat/water and lighted bowl). One thing I'll add as a pro vs other reviews - I like the chime while it's operating. As a father of small children it's an added safety net - though they're good at turning it off. There's a lot to talk about so let's break this down into a few parts: Installation: Getting the old seat out was the larger challenge. Once removed the new seat went in easily with two rubber inserts going through the seat mounting holes on the toilet which secured the mounting bracket with two bolts/washers. To align the seat I 1.) Left the bolts a little loose 2.) Clicked on the seat 3.) Moved it to where I wanted 4.) Used the one button release to remove the seat 5.) Tightened the bolts For the plumbing you simply remove the connection to your toilet bowl then connect the provided splitter and hoses. My only caution (and critique) is the fittings are regrettably plastic. Make sure you're not cross threading them when they go on. Otherwise just enough pressure to seal then another 1/4 turn was my approach. Review of the seat. Creature comforts - This is one of the benefits of a full seat based unit vs the bolt on sprayers - added comforts. There are two buttons on the left side controlling heated water and seat. Press once for low heat, press again for higher heat and press one more time to turn them off. Each setting is displayed by an led off (off), low heat (dimmer light), high heat (brighter light). Sitting on the toilet runs the water to ensure the system is primed with warmed water when you need it. Easy of use - The dial is illuminated (as is the bowl) sufficiently for night operations without messing up night vision. The control itself is very simple turn the knob forward to activate front cleaning and to the rear for the other cleaning. The more you turn the dial the greater the pressure. Easy of cleaning - On the right hand side simply press a button and the toilet seat slides off. Clean where you will and you can also activate the toilet while aiming it at the bowl to clean the nozzles. The supplied hose is a little long to make this easier which I didn't realize as a pro until the first time I cleaned the bathroom Intuitive design - There's not much more to be said than my 5 year old daughter figured this out on her own before I even told her there was a new toilet seat, let alone a bidet. She even turned on the heated seat and made sure the water was off before leaving it. Here are my high level takeaways Pros: 1.) Loaded with features at a great price point 2.) Intuitive design 3.) Great creature comforts (winter is coming) 4.) Easy install - Took about 10 minutes 5.) Illumination for night time utilization Cons: 1.) Plastic fittings - I can/will replace the splitter but the lack of a metal connection to the unit is the only part I found disappointing  Read Less

This is my third 'bidet'. My first one was basically a kitchen sink hand sprayer connected to the toilet. It was great for cleaning the toilet, but awkward as a bidet, and the sprayer was not self cleaning. The second was was like this, but not heated. It worked great, but I have well water, and at 45F, it was a brisk experience (especially in Winter, when the pipes made it colder). This one is by far the best. Easy to install. Looks great, with a low profile (Height 3.75"); not bulky like some... Read More

This is my third 'bidet'. My first one was basically a kitchen sink hand sprayer connected to the toilet. It was great for cleaning the toilet, but awkward as a bidet, and the sprayer was not self cleaning. The second was was like this, but not heated. It worked great, but I have well water, and at 45F, it was a brisk experience (especially in Winter, when the pipes made it colder). This one is by far the best. Easy to install. Looks great, with a low profile (Height 3.75"); not bulky like some (Height 6.875") or drawing attention to itself with a Captain Kirk control pad. It has a nice sanitary feature. There are Sensors in the seat; when you sit down, it turns On water to self clean the nozzles. It also has innovative mounting plug that acts as a water seal. It is a tight fit, but with a little proding I got it in (see pics). I had no electrical outlet near the toilet. I had to install an outlet for it to plug in. It is rated at 1000W; which provides it with instant unlimited warm water. Other American Standard's are around 300W; which provides limited warm water (and I assume use power all day long to maintain that reservoir?). I choose to tap into my living room's circuit (adjoining wall). My bathroom was on a single 20A breaker. I have a 1500W space heater, that I turn On when showering. I did not want to overburden the circuit. Now that it is installed, I probably could have added it to my bathroom circuit. It only uses 1000W when the sprayer is active. With only the seat heater On, it cycles ever minute between 1W and 49W. If the Seat heater is turned Off, it uses less than 1W (for the LED Night Light [see pics]). Its natural state is seat heated and water heated On Low. To save power and maximize benefit, I have mine connected to a smart outlet. In Winter, I will leave both On. In Spring and Fall, I will ask Alexa to, "Turn On Bidet", before I plan to use it (seat warms up in about 1 minute). In Summer, I will turn Off the seat heater and leave On the warm Water. Some bidet's have a dryer, but I do not have the patience to sit around to be air dried; I just use toilet paper. FWIW ... when I first turned On the water supply, it leaked from underneath. I thought I did not tighten the hose tight enough, or it was defective, but the leak stopped once the air was out of it.  Read Less
