"""I purchased my BioBidet (BB 1000) in March of 2010. This was one of the smartest purchases that I've ever made. I own and operate a fairly large horse boarding, training and lesson facility, and I do a lot of horse back riding. During the summer months, I can get easily chafed in those ""personal"" areas due to the tight fitting riding breeches and the friction caused from being in the saddle. So, in an attempt to prevent problems, this year, I purchased the BB 1000 so I could do a cleansing and refreshment of ""those"" areas during the day without having to strip down to do a full shower (no time for that during the busy work day). It's now nearly six months later, and the hottest summer months have passed, and sure enough, I don't know how I could have survived without my BB 1000. The unit worked perfectly as advertised and helped me to stay clean and fresh through out the day. The unit was easily installed by my husband in less than a 1/2 hour and the directions and the unit's remote were very easy to understand. Other than when I've been traveling away from home (and missing my BB 1000), the unit has been used at least twice per day without problems. The heated seat was a treat during the cold months this spring. The warm water was as well. Even in the summer, I set the water temperature up just a bit. I also really like the seat cover closer. This is a real neat feature that I didn't expect to be so handy. In addition to fulfilling my goals for ""summer"" cleanliness, the BB 1000 has served me well for other hygiene needs. It works great for those ""cleaning up after's"" and has reduced my usage of toilet tissue. The dryer feature works great and also helps to reduce irritations. Before I bought the BB 1000, I did do quite a bit of research and comparisons of the various bidet seat units that are on the market. The BB 1000 had the most features for the price range, without a doubt. The warrantees and other good ""testimonials"" all contributed to my decision to purchase the unit. I was also impressed with the quick delivery, as once I had made my mind up to get the unit, I wanted it right away! So, I am a very happy customer, and user of the BioBidet product, the BB 1000. I have highly recommended this to my family and friends. Thank you for making such a great product. It's a pleasure to buy something that works and does what it says it's going to do!"""  Read Less

I have decided to write a review on it now because I know there are people like me out there who are on the fence about it but actually really need something like this to be a part of their lives. I purchased this online a few months back. Like many others wrote reviews, I was also skeptical because this is a generally unheard of product where I live and I had very little information.

I have decided to write a review on it now because I know there are people like me out there who are on the fence about it but actually really need something like this to be a part of their lives. I purchased this online a few months back. Like many others wrote reviews, I was also skeptical because this is a generally unheard of product where I live and I had very little information. The information that I found online gave me a basic understanding of what to expect: water spray and heated seat. At the time, I needed a bidet on short notice so I chose the BB-1000 based on the many reviews I read about it on various sites. Even after I received it, I still held some reservations against the product. I paid $500 and still raised an eyebrow at the thought of it. The installation I did myself since it was very straightforward and easy. The water is tapped straight from the wall valve and does not draw water from the toilet tank while the built in bidet tank heats the water. The heated water can be adjusted to three levels (low, medium, high) and the highest is very warm yet not painfully hot (aka perfect). The warm water lasts for 30 to 40 seconds and when I inquired about this I was informed that any longer than that would not be beneficial since it would weaken my tissue. This makes sense to me. I had compared and read about some bidets with in-line heaters and although that seems like a great feature and might entice some people, it makes sense that endless warm water can do more harm than good. My main concern was with where the water would come from or if it would affect my toilet’s flushing capabilities. Since the water used in the bidet comes straight from the water line, it doesn’t affect my toilet at all. Like the warm water, the heated seat can also be adjusted to three levels. With the recent chilly weather, I’ve kept it on the highest and it is so nice. Although one drawback is that it has become a bad habit to doze off on that seat in the mornings and makes waking up a little more difficult than usual. The deodorizer is unscented and eliminates some odors in the bathroom. It does start running once the seat is occupied and continues to run for a few seconds after the seat becomes unoccupied. This can be manually turned off if the slight humming noise bothers you. The cartridge contains active carbon, I read. The lid and seat are both soft closing. It is always better to shut the lid before you flush to prevent germs and bacteria from splashing out and the soft closing lid is nice since it won’t slam shut and startle you. The seat will not work unless it detects someone sitting on it. This is a great safety feature especially for those who have kids like I do who are prone to being curious and button mashing. And with the remote being so attractive and easily accessible to my kids, I have found that remote in my living room a few times so I’m glad that the bidet will not respond when they try to use the remote like a TV remote. This bidet has a 3-in-1 nozzle that is exclusive to this brand – one of the reasons I chose this model over others. The one nozzle contains the posterior wash, feminine wash, and vortex enema wash and is powered by a motor that regulates movement and flow. All three of these washes can be manipulated to move back and forth or pulsate. The pressure can also be changed according to my preference. The water stream on this bidet is mixed with air bubbles to create an aerated effect which causes the water to be more powerful yet gentler than conventional water streams. The posterior wash is your basic family wash. It will clean the rear with oscillating, pulsating, or stationary. The feminine wash also does the same but it reaches further up anatomically. The enema wash is a concentrated stream of water. This seems to be unique to this bidet and although I have no need for an enema yet at my stage in life, I can imagine this becoming a great tool in the future. The warm air dryer is just a pleasant flow of warm air that is a nice topper. This nozzle will “self-clean” in between each function. This means that water will be drained over the nozzle before and after each use so I do not have to worry about cleaning it myself. For a product that was bought on a whim, it has proven to be one of the best investments I have made.  Read Less
