I installed this in our master bathroom and we have used it for about a month now. Since my wife often uses flushable wipes, I got this in hopes of eliminating (or at least significantly decreasing) such usage since they can cause plumbing issues (i.e. clogs!). This was super easy to install...took less than 20 minutes. It comes with a cord that when plugged in heats the seat and the water, but you can also use it without plugging it in which is what we've been doing since we don't necessarily care about a heated seat and/or water. It has two directions of spray (a slightly forward direction and a rear [no pun intended!] direction). You simply use the dial/switch on the side to turn on the spray (move it forward for the front area and move it backward for the rear). It also has two flow settings (min, max) for each direction...so you can choose to spray a little or a lot depending on the situation. We absolutely LOVE this product!!! I wasn't sure how much I would actually use it when I got it but I think I use it more than my wife at this point! Lol It's just so easy and convenient to use. It's also self cleaning btw so now worries there, and the lids are self closing so no more accidentally "dropping" the toilet seat! I would definitely encourage people to check this product out. It's high quality and works flawlessly...and it will definitely eliminate or at least save on the use of flushable wipes!!! :) Totally worth it. Thinking about actually getting one for my parents since we love it so much.

The seat was incredibly easy to install, I replaced the old one in about 30 minutes. All of the required hardware is included, all you need is a screwdriver and (maybe) an adjustable wrench (don’t overtighten). It is important to note that you do need to have an electrical outlet nearby. I installed a new one a few weeks ago knowing that I was getting this.

The seat was incredibly easy to install, I replaced the old one in about 30 minutes. All of the required hardware is included, all you need is a screwdriver and (maybe) an adjustable wrench (don’t overtighten). It is important to note that you do need to have an electrical outlet nearby. I installed a new one a few weeks ago knowing that I was getting this.
The seat itself is comfortable, but you do lose some sitting room and the opening is smaller compared to the regular toilet seat it replaced, because the back part of the seat that houses the electronics and such take up some of the space. It is also simple to use, there are two buttons on left that toggle through low, medium and off settings for the heated seat temperature and water temperature. The dial on the right controls the water flow and ‘aim’ (forwards for front, back for rear and center for ‘off’). The flow isn’t overpowering, but enough to get you clean, and the water warms almost instantly. The sprayer itself is contained when not it use and has a self cleaning system, while the exterior doesn’t appear to be any more difficult to clean than any other seat. It also has a light that automatically illuminates for nighttime visits. My only complaint would be that the cord could be a little longer. I was able to reach mine on the opposite side, but an extra foot or two would’ve been nice so I could tuck it away better.
In summary, it may seem a little expensive at first, but when you consider what you pay for a night or two at a fancy hotel compared to something like this that will last you for years of use, I think it is totally worth it. It will also save you money on toilet paper (although you’ll still need some to dry off) and have less impact on your pipes and the environment. It will get you cleaner and the seat heater and warm water are an added comfort. Go ahead and get one…your posterior will thank you later.

[Incentivized Review] First Bidet Experience - Thumbs Up

A 'wish' would have been for a seat with a dryer since wiping after washing is a bit damp from just a drip dry. This might be something to consider highlighting so there is no confusion in which model to purchase.
All-in-all, great product to significantly upgrade a bathroom experience without having to replace an entire toilet.

[Incentivized Review] My new fave thing!
one startwo starsthree starsfour starsfive stars
I've always wanted a bidet and this one is a great one! Easy to install with easy to follow instructions, took minutes, has temp settings for water and the heated seat! I love the light too which is bright enough for a night light without being too bright. The only thing I can knock on it is probably the relatively thinness of the lid but it still seems sturdy enough so I'm good with that. I'm very pleased and can't wait to have a warm seat this winter! Tried to
post pics but couldn't. Tip: be sure you have it positioned where it needs to be before locking on because it's not so easy to get it back off.

[Incentivized Review] Best Bathroom Addition!
one startwo starsthree starsfour starsfive stars
Received the product in the mail early afternoon, and had this Spalet bidet seat installed within about 45 minutes after it was delivered. Excellent instructions to guide you for the install. It isn't bulky at all, and looks fine even with the added connections for the water supply. I was a little concerned about the water pressure, but did not have any difficulty with that, as there are two settings, low and high.
I like the heated seat and the added night lite. I would have loved having this seat after the birth of my kids years ago, as it is very soothing, and would be perfect for treating that area. I am very happy with this item, and look forward to seeing how well it lasts!

Almost Perfect!

With this ongoing Amazon discount, and after reading all the reviews I just could not resist. After 2 weeks of daily use, I am overall pretty satisfied with the product's build and ease of use. I would've definitely gotten a TOTO a few years ago but it's out of my price range, so the Slim Two is perfect in its affordability and high quality.

With this ongoing Amazon discount, and after reading all the reviews I just could not resist. After 2 weeks of daily use, I am overall pretty satisfied with the product's build and ease of use. I would've definitely gotten a TOTO a few years ago but it's out of my price range, so the Slim Two is perfect in its affordability and high quality.
Pros:
- Easy installation
- Great sturdy build, especially the heated seat; no creaking/squeaky noises at all
- Remote control (I was initially going for the Slim One (without remote), but the Slim Two (with remote) was less expensive and it's also very nice to not have to twist around to reach the console on non-wireless models); also, the remote comes with a wall mounted dock which you can stick onto the wall with the included adhesive (included) or use screws (not included).
- Pressure options and nozzle positioning is perfect -- I don't understand why some users have reported problems. Perhaps your hose connection is not secure or the emitter is blocked? Also, Turbo Mode pressure is TOO strong -- I still haven't found the need to use this mode. It's so strong that it causes spray-back and leaves the back of the seat with water beads.
- Nightlight (though turning it off is not intuitive at all (the "+" button requires a long press of 3 seconds). The nightlight should be light sensitive, triggered by a proximity sensor or simply redesign the remote to include a dedicated nightlight button).
- The water heater works great; lasts more than 60 seconds. The water is not scalding hot, but hot enough for a thorough cleanse. IMO, 30-60 seconds is optimal for a thorough cleanse unless you have a really wide area to work on in which case you double press "wash" to activate oscillation for a wide clean.
- Easy installation guide (everyone writes that no guide or manual is included -- my order came with two manuals: a regular installation guide and a quick start guide).
- Toilet paper use and expenditure is cut in half. Only need a small bit for dabbing excess water. Very nice!
Cons:
- I needed to purchase a hose reducer to fit the hose nut over the water connection. It was under $5 at Home Depot.
- The nightlight could be easier to turn on/off (see above).
- The remote interface design is NOT good -- I think BioBidet could take some design cues from TOTO or INAX on good UI design for their remote and also make one universal remote for all their similarly featured models
- When I opened the box and pulled the seat out, residual water dribbled out the hose and unit and spilled all over me which was odd because it is a new, unrefurbished model (or is it?) Very strange -- but the unit looks and smells brand new at least so I'm not overly concerned.
- I know this is beside the point, but the BioBidet logo needs a total brand overhaul. The typeface used in the words "Bidet" looks like it can't breathe and is squished together, while the "Bio" typeface is relaxed and well-spaced. Consistency will reposition the brand to reflect the brand's high quality products.
Overall: At the sale price of $189, I think EVERYONE should have one of these. You will feel super clean after seconds of washing. When I lift off the seat, I feel so clean while everyone else is walking around with dirty, poo-smeared butts. Yuck! Go get one now!
Update (October 31, 2018): Now that the weather is cooler, I can understand why the heated seat function is such a helpful feature. It never occurred to me previously just how much temperature affects parts of your body, but now I find that I am more relaxed when the seat is warm and can finish my business faster. It's like when you jump into the cold ocean and everything clams up , the same is true when you sit on an ice cold toilet seat -- it just takes forever to peek out and if you don't get to finish your business, you feel backed up and miserable. In the past, I used to think a warm seat would feel kind of gross (like it was just used by someone) but now that I am more relaxed when I sit down, I just can't go on without this feature. I think it helps you achieve regularity.
Update (September 30, 2018): After 30 days of daily use, I would highly recommend the SLIM TWO. The seat is very high quality in terms of construction and function and you will feel so much CLEANER!
Update (July 1, 2019): BioBidet Customer Service is top notch.
Update (August 12, 2021): The second lid replacement suffered the same fate and the hydraulic right hinge broke again. There is no way to fix it since the plastic bit disintegrates and pulverizes into a hundred pieces. I think BioBidet should find a better material that can withstand the test of frequent opening/closing. Other than the hinge issue (which is not a problem with our Toto), the Slim Two is a great deal. But after reading multiple other reviews citing the same hinge quality issue, I may likely switch to the higher quality Toto C200 which I have in another room and has experienced absolutely no issues.

Good but Improvements could be made

Overall the seat is well built and comfortable but there are a few things I would change that would allow me to enjoy the seat more. I wish you had the option to turn the bowl light off and on instead of it being on all the time, and that the heated seat would automatically turn off when you get off the seat. Set up was a bit painful but that was no fault of the product, we learned that our toilet has an unusual fitting causing us to buy $40 in additional hoses and fittings to make it work. Thus far I am pretty happy with the product though maybe a little disappointed in the price paid for what I got.

My wife was very excited to have the heated seat for those cold mornings and it worked great. Upon initial installation I noticed the seat was about an inch too short for our new toilet. The installation was almost as simple as installing a standard toilet seat. All the built in options were great and the installation of the water supply and the power supply were not unsightly. Ease of cleaning is also a plus as the water delivery use is optional. The only thing I would change is the addition of length to the power cord. Most homes are not built with an electrical outlet close enough to accommodate the power cord. As for the ease of installation, its a literal 20 minutes. Anyone that can use a screwdriver and knows what teflon tape is for can install this seat.
I am so excite to own this Bidet Seat! It was easy for my husband to install in about 30 minutes! We had to get a electrical outlet for the power cord! Can I just say it was worth the wait! I love the heated seat! The spray nozzle sprays warm water in the right spot and is adjustable for the amount of pressure you want! The light shines in the toilet it makes a great night light! The construction of the seat is very well made! I wish I had one for all my bathrooms!

[Incentivized Review] Great Seat for the Price! Quality is Great Too!
one startwo starsthree starsfour starsfive stars
I was skeptical of a bidet seat at first, but decided to give this a try. It is actually quite nice after the first try (the jet of water on you behind is quite a shock). The nice part is you can adjust the water temperature and its not too bad when warm. The heated seat is a nice added touch also. The lid is not quite as stylish as the stock soft close lid on my American Standard toilet, but it is not hideous either. I think they could add a rib around the top lid to add a but of styling to make it more appealing.
