This is my first time purchasing a bidet. While there are a lot of bidets out there with various fancy features, e.g. heat/warm water, electronic controls, etc... and wondered if I would be missing out by not having those features, after purchasing and using the Brondell, I do not feel like I am missing out on anything. I also believe that keeping it simple means it will be less likely to break or fail. The bidet has one job to do and this unit does it well. It gets you cl... Read More

This is my first time purchasing a bidet. While there are a lot of bidets out there with various fancy features, e.g. heat/warm water, electronic controls, etc... and wondered if I would be missing out by not having those features, after purchasing and using the Brondell, I do not feel like I am missing out on anything. I also believe that keeping it simple means it will be less likely to break or fail. The bidet has one job to do and this unit does it well. It gets you clean and allows you to use less toilet paper. The interface is incredibly simple to use. Installation was a breeze and included everything you need. As for the lack of heat / warm water, this may vary from home to home, but I do not find the water cold at all. (I do keep a fairly fixed temperature on my thermostat, so I suspect my pipes do not get as cold as they otherwise could.) I will however add that my wife tried the feminine feature and found that the reach was not right for her. I can see how a woman might want one that offers more fine tuning. It is for this reason that I have given it 4 stars instead of 5. If you do not need the feminine feature, then this unit is a 5 out of 5. Aside from the feminine feature, if I could add just one thing to my wish list, it would be for a bidet seat made of ceramic/porcelain. I do not believe one exists on the market. That said, while I worried this seat would not be as comfortable or nice as the normal ceramic seat it replaces, I actually found this plastic seat to be more comfortable to sit on, such that I do not mind at all that it is plastic. The plastic does keep the cost down and means I would not worry much if it broke and needed replacing with a new unit. Read Less

It does what it is supposed to do. Installation was a bear but that was due to the setup that I have here in my rental (ancient fixtures and hoses, and an extremely tight area to work in). Bidet feature is quite powerful. The Ambient water temperature is basically cold, at least here in the Upper Tier in winter. It's not as bad as it sounds, just takes a few seconds to adjust to the cool spray. I took off one star because the elongated seat apparently d... Read More

It does what it is supposed to do. Installation was a bear but that was due to the setup that I have here in my rental (ancient fixtures and hoses, and an extremely tight area to work in). Bidet feature is quite powerful. The Ambient water temperature is basically cold, at least here in the Upper Tier in winter. It's not as bad as it sounds, just takes a few seconds to adjust to the cool spray. I took off one star because the elongated seat apparently does not fit every elongated toilet. On mine, the seat is a half inch or more too far back and no amount of adjusting fixes that. It works okay, but it looks weird. I took off another star because the seat loosens with every use--it can be tight and not moving at all but after a person sits on it the seat is loose and can be moved around significantly. We have to retighten both sides after EVERY use. It's not a deal breaker, but it really shouldn't be this way. I have only had it installed for two days so all I can say at this point is that it works as described and, in normal conditions, is an easy install. I had to turn down the water flow coming in from the wall so the nozzle spray was not so powerful. I don't like that the seat loosens but I have looked at all the videos and I have it installed properly so it seems this is just how it is now and how it will always be. I will update if any of the above changes for better or worse. Read Less

I love this thing. Omg. I can never go back to the pre-bidet life. First of all, I’m a 25 year old woman. I bought a set of screwdrivers with this bidet because I didn’t previously own any, so that should tell you how much experience I have doing anything even remotely handy. (Also you don’t actually need any tools to install this. I kept the screwdrivers anyway because I guess adults should have those). It was super easy to install. I did it myself in less than 30 minutes. Anyway. It takes some... Read More

I love this thing. Omg. I can never go back to the pre-bidet life. First of all, I’m a 25 year old woman.

(Also you don’t actually need any tools to install this. I kept the screwdrivers anyway because I guess adults should have those). It was super easy to install. I did it myself in less than 30 minutes. Anyway. It takes some getting used to, and the water pressure is stronger than you’d expect when you use it the first time. It’s definitely a shock. Also the cold temperature might be a turn off for people, but I don’t mind it. It takes a bit to perfect your positioning, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll never go back. It’s easy to use, makes you feel fresh, and fun to talk about at parties. If you want a fresh booty hole, get this. I’m buying it for my family for Christmas because I KNOW they’re walking around with subpar booty hole cleanliness and I have to intervene.  Read Less

I wish I had purchased the bidet years ago. With age I have developed quite a bit of arthritis and reaching and twisting can be painful. After one use I knew I had made an extremely beneficial purchase. The bidet is easy to use, allowing the user to control the force and direction of the spray. A small amount of toilet tissue is all that is required for blotting dry. I used to use several flushable wipes and since the bidet was installed I have not needed even one.

I wish I had purchased the bidet years ago. With age I have developed quite a bit of arthritis and reaching and twisting can be painful. After one use I knew I had made an extremely beneficial purchase. The bidet is easy to use, allowing the user to control the force and direction of the spray. A small amount of toilet tissue is all that is required for blotting dry. I used to use several flushable wipes and since the bidet was installed I have not needed even one. I have been using the bidet for about 6 weeks and I have already recommended purchase to my friends and family. One of the questions frequently asked is about the temperature of the water. I was surprised that water temperature is not at all an issue. Friends are also wondering if any part of the bidet makes contact with the body and the answer is no. There is nothing negative for me to comment. With use, one can have an "after shower clean" feeling and assurance of fresh personal hygiene. My son was able to easily install the bidet seat with the connection to the water supply in less than 20 minutes.  Read Less
