Always wanted a heated, warm water, blow drying high-end Toto Washlet, but I have no easy outlet or warm water supply. I bought a couple of attachments that attach under your existing seat, but did not like how the seat fit over them. So I gave the Brondell a try. Easy to install. I had to remove a rigid water line to the toilet tank and replace with a flexible line (not included). Other than that, this was a pretty easy install, even for those who aren’t terribly handy.

Always wanted a heated, warm water, blow drying high-end Toto Washlet, but I have no easy outlet or warm water supply. I bought a couple of attachments that attach under your existing seat, but did not like how the seat fit over them. So I gave the Brondell a try. Easy to install. I had to remove a rigid water line to the toilet tank and replace with a flexible line (not included). Other than that, this was a pretty easy install, even for those who aren’t terribly handy. You can see from my pictures that the included hose from the tank to seat is ridiculously long, but you can put a coil in it and hide it fairly well. The seat is plastic, but is of decent quality. The color is a little different white than my existing Kohler fixtures, but it’s OK. The soft close feature is great. Controls are super easy. I have very cold water in the winter, but it turns out that it is not bothersome. Using a bidet was a small learning experience. After testing the quality of the clean with toilet paper a few times, I recommend letting it rinse you for about 30 seconds to get a consistently pristine clean. I also have a few wash cloths that I use to pat dry as there is no drying mechanism and you are left pretty wet — it takes too much toilet paper to get dry. Brondell actually sells bidet cloths, which seem to be wash cloths with a little hook for hanging. Overall, I wish I had done this years ago. Anytime I have to use an away toilet, it feels barbaric and unclean to use toilet paper. Don’t let cold water and lack of built-in drying stop you. Do this today. Read Less

Made of good quality materials - solid feel; robust build. Lots of options, but simple. For example, there are multiple settings for water temperature, seat temperature, air dry temperature, water pressure, etc., but each 'item' has 3 levels - low, medium, high. So it's very straightforward. I like the oscillating feature of the spray. I like the lighted basin (for nighttime use). The remote is straightforward and I like the easy magnetic mount. We put it on the wall near the toilet paper holder... Read More

We put it on the wall near the toilet paper holder. Some reviews and comparison articles note that this bidet has a lower water pressure than some others. Personally, I nearly always use the lowest pressure setting. The highest pressure is all I can ever conceive of needing. I can't imagine the 'firehose' of some of those other bidets.  Read Less

I've been contemplating getting a bidet seat for quite a while. The two factors that slowed me down were 1. I'd not tried one before and 2. figuring out how to get power to the unit. I finally got to try one at a family members house and was sold. Once I figured out how to safely get power to it, I decided to get one (I've actually since gotten a second one for the house). Installation was super easy... just make sure you have a GFCI outlet that you are using for power. The overall unit is a b... Read More

I've been contemplating getting a bidet seat for quite a while. The two factors that slowed me down were 1. I'd not tried one before and 2. figuring out how to get power to the unit. I finally got to try one at a family members house and was sold. Once I figured out how to safely get power to it, I decided to get one (I've actually since gotten a second one for the house). Installation was super easy... just make sure you have a GFCI outlet that you are using for power. The overall unit is a bit bulky, but they all seem to be. The rear cleanse is very effective. Once you start using it, I think you will find it is your strong preference for this method for cleaning. I still use a small amount of paper for drying, as the drying function doesn't exactly dry - but is still helpful. This unit doesn't have "unlimited" hot water, but my experience, so far, has been that even if you run out of warm water, it isn't all that bad. I guess ask me again in February. Part of my decision was the stainless nozzle, which I imagine are better than the plastic nozzles I see on some other units. Would I buy again? Yes, in fact within a week I bought the 1400 model as well (mostly because it had two nozzles, which I thought might handle feminine cleaning better, and for the support of two users). I'm not yet sold on the remote control (vs on-board controls) of the 1400, but we'll see.  Read Less
