I bought the BidetMate 1000R (with the remote) back in 2020. It was fairly easy to install (even for people like me who are timid of plumbing) and has worked great. Saves a lot of money on toilet paper and personal wipes. This particular model has a lot of nice features like heated water, heated seat and air dry. And the settings for position/temperature/water force etc. are simple to adjust to your personal preference. When I recently moved to a new home, I took my BidetMate with me. But...
I bought the BidetMate 1000R (with the remote) back in 2020. It was fairly easy to install (even for people like me who are timid of plumbing) and has worked great. Saves a lot of money on toilet paper and personal wipes. This particular model has a lot of nice features like heated water, heated seat and air dry. And the settings for position/temperature/water force etc. are simple to adjust to your personal preference. When I recently moved to a new home, I took my BidetMate with me. But unfortunately the water supply line somehow got damaged in the move, and would not form a leak-free seal any more. I contacted the company to ask about a replacement. They covered it under their generous 3-year warranty, and sent me a new one. So I was "back in the saddle" in no time. Bidets are still not so common in the U.S., but once you've used one, you will see why they are so popular in other countries. But I think the U.S. is starting to catch on. TLDR - great product, great company support. 5 stars!

This BidetMate 1000 was shipped promptly and packaged well. It has a lot of convenience features, such as heated water, heated seat and a hand battery operated remote that can be attached to the wall with the adhesive tape included. It is not recommended that you sit or stand on the lid as it can damage the unit. Harsh cleaners are not to be used on it. It does require a plug outlet near the toilet for the power cord, which is located on the right side of the unit. The seat release is very simpl...
This BidetMate 1000 was shipped promptly and packaged well. It has a lot of convenience features, such as heated water, heated seat and a hand battery operated remote that can be attached to the wall with the adhesive tape included. It is not recommended that you sit or stand on the lid as it can damage the unit. Harsh cleaners are not to be used on it. It does require a plug outlet near the toilet for the power cord, which is located on the right side of the unit. The seat release is very simple to use to remove the unit and clean behind it or move to another location. Unfortunately, after install the bidet extension was determined to be missing the end head piece and the bidet retracted so far back into the unit it hits the housing unit when activated. Therefore a neutral rating of three stars is assigned.

I really love all the features. The only thing I would change is some way to feel the different buttons rather than the smooth surface of the remote. I canÕt see the remote once IÕm seated and canÕt adjust if IÕm not seated. IÕm looking for some type of √ÃglueÓ on button to make it easier. Also, it says the deodorizer starts as soon as one is seated? No instructions.

Over all very happy with seat. It takes some getting used to but once i did it did clean everything, sometimes two cycles. I certainly would recommend it. I am suffering from arthritis in my shoulders and this helps me a lot. A few things i wished i had done. I should have went up a model or two. I think the contrrol panel should be lighted so a night in low or no light one could see the buttons to push. I should have gotten one with a remote. Bottom line it is a very good product.

Pros:Easy to install, very easy to remove and clean, near instant warm water (the start of the squirt is a bit cold since its water that's left in the nozzle from last use), good pressure, heated seat and dryer are luxurious, self cleaning nozzle helps with piece of mind keeping it sanitary, soft close lid, couplings and gaskets appear to prevent leaking without the need for tapes or gel like sealing, oscillating spray is nice, dryer auto shuts off when you stand and the unit has a safety sensor...
Pros:Easy to install, very easy to remove and clean, near instant warm water (the start of the squirt is a bit cold since its water that's left in the nozzle from last use), good pressure, heated seat and dryer are luxurious, self cleaning nozzle helps with piece of mind keeping it sanitary, soft close lid, couplings and gaskets appear to prevent leaking without the need for tapes or gel like sealing, oscillating spray is nice, dryer auto shuts off when you stand and the unit has a safety sensor that ensures the bidet won't operate or spray water everywhere unless the Bidets pilot is sitting in the pilot seat ready to let her fly!Cons:So i'm going to ramble a little bit about the build quality and durability but please dont take thia as a mark of low quality. I feel like the construction is a bit too flimsy to install this in any public or high use setting. I try to be gentle sitting on it as I'm 250 lb... I do rock back and forth on it though and it seems to be pretty solid. The plastic lid is about two 25 pieces thick, and the whole chassis seems to be made with the same plastic so if you're not careful it can crack. The inlet on the right side (as you are sat on it) is also a bit cheap and flimsy feeling though if you set it up properly the inlet should just hangout where its at and never move. The toilet seat feels slightly hollow, no doubt for the heating surfaces and wiring inside.. But it feels no where near as indestructible as a standard seat but that's okay. The rear seat bumpers barely don't quite touch the porcelain rim on my toilet, but it doesn't seem to stress the hinge too much when weight is on it so for me it was fine not using adhesive toilet seat bumpers to close the gap. I got one with no remote because it was 30 cheaper and I didnt want to mount anything but the controls on the side feel like they could easily break off if any signifigant force is applied, so id say the version with a wireless remote is the better option. The durability is decent and certainly does the job and to be fair it seems like most Bidets are made with this type of plastic so its not like you'll find an indestructible model in this toilet seat form factor. Its solid for what it is so don't think im putting it on blast, im just pointing out concerns that lead me to believe this thing isn't industrial grade stuff that will last decades. No not at all. The dryer is super nice but really it's not very effective... Is think this is a problem with most bidets actually. It's like using a public dryer on your hands that has low air pressure.. And you keep using it but your hands stay damp and the person behind you is finishing washing their hands so you just leave with damp hands and wipe it on your pants.. Similar experience. Still feel like I need TP though not nearly as much; that or be gross like the Europeans and use a towel for the bidet... Then when I've cleaned myself properly and checked and dried myself with a few square of tissue I like to use the dryer to finish. Power cord does not feel robust, the whole harness feels similar to what you'd get with a TV or cheap plastic appliance that has it's power cord built in. Fine I guess since you'll likely not need to touch the cord after install. No night light, not a biggie but a glowing blue toilet in the night is very inviting I'm not gonna lie... Oh well I bought a separate color changing light which kinda looks nicer... Also mine unit came with a tiny bit of water in the nozzle.. Probably left over from testing.. It was gross getting it on my hands as I picked it up so prepare for that and try to give the thing a dry run by blocking the toilet just to give the bidet a chance to clear anything out first before you spray it into the nether-realms..Overall it's like one of those game changers man. It's literally changed my life. I've gone from feeling dirtier after number 2 to feeling cleaner after number 2... So a complete 180. Get one if you want it!
