Brondell EcoSeat S102 Bidet Toilet Seat Owners Reviews

I had been considering purchasing a bidet seat for quite some time, mainly due to physical limitations, but also because of my positive experiences with them in Europe many years ago. With the purchase of a new home featuring a cramped en-suite bathroom and a low toilet, it was finally time to take the plunge. After extensive research, I settled on this unit because it was the only one that would fit while still allowing the toilet seat to remain open on its own. Although there were a few electr...

I had been considering purchasing a bidet seat for quite some time, mainly due to physical limitations, but also because of my positive experiences with them in Europe many years ago. With the purchase of a new home featuring a cramped en-suite bathroom and a low toilet, it was finally time to take the plunge. After extensive research, I settled on this unit because it was the only one that would fit while still allowing the toilet seat to remain open on its own. Although there were a few electric units that might have worked, they would have required electrical access, which will be part of the eventual remodel. So, I went for it. The price was too good to pass up, and delivery was free and very prompt. While I received it before Christmas, today was the first opportunity I had to install it. The installation took about an hour for me, mainly due to my physical capabilities and the cramped space of my bathroom. Under normal circumstances, it would have taken under 20 minutes. I only needed a flathead screwdriver to remove the old toilet seat and a wrench to tighten the shut-off nut. The seat itself installed effortlessly with just finger tightening of all connections. The only disappointment was my toilet, as one bolt hole was slightly skewed, resulting in a slightly skewed seat, but it didn't impact functionality. After installation, I tested the function and found that turning the control knob slightly activated the self-cleaning wand function, causing water to pour into the toilet. Initially, I thought the wands were malfunctioning, but I discovered that turning the knob a bit further activated them properly. A word of warning: if you're not going to sit on the seat to test it, wrap your bowl opening with plastic wrap as the wands can shoot water out a couple of feet, drenching nearby clothes. After a proper 'test drive,' I found that adjusting the water pressure might be a bit tricky to avoid an overly aggressive experience, but the ambient water temperature is comfortable. There's also a learning curve for positioning, as water can spray back or overshoot onto the toilet seat if you shift just right. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. It's an excellent price for a very useful piece of equipment that I believe everyone should have in their home. Additionally, the lid is a bonus: it's soft close and sturdy, made of sturdy plastic that can withstand sitting on without buckling or bending.  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 have been using the bidet fo... Read More

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
