Best investment I ever made in my bathroom! Once you get a bidet you’ll never want to go without one again. I have been using it for about 18mo now, and it is still working just fine.

Best investment I ever made in my bathroom! Once you get a bidet you’ll never want to go without one again. I have been using it for about 18mo now, and it is still working just fine. Some features are pointless (the deodorizing fan and air dryer are basically useless in my opinion), but overall it’s been more than worth it. The heated seat, warm water wash, adjustable movement and pressure, independent remote control, and nightlight are its biggest selling points. For the price, I don’t think that I could have done better. It does not totally eliminate the need for toilet paper, I still use a small amount to dry, but it greatly reduces the amount used and leaves you feeling so much cleaner.
**Caution for female users** Be careful with using the female wash function as I believe it may have contributed to a UTI. I used the female/front wash function for several months with no issues, but developed a UTI after about 5mo (I’ve never had a UTI before, and using a bidet was the only different thing in my lifestyle). It’s possible that bacteria was forced up the urethra with the force of the water stream, but I can’t be sure that it was the cause. Since discontinuing use of that particular function I haven’t had any further issues.

Okay. I purchased this bidet to replace the inexpensive hot/cold bidet I had before. The old bidet is being moved downstairs. While the old seat wasn't great, it wasn't bad for a $50 either. That was my only prior experience with a bidet and it is what I use for comparison.
The Brondell is one hell of an upgrade from that other bidet and it's worth every penny.

The Brondell is one hell of an upgrade from that other bidet and it's worth every penny.
PROS:
1) I read a few reviews knocking the blow dryer in the seat. This was one of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade. In my case, I was very surprised to see how effective the blow dryer is. This feature reduce my TP utilization to zero.
2) When I initially got the seat, I was worried about the pressure. It was nowhere near the pressure of my old seat. Of course my old seat had enough pressure to blow water out your ears. After a few weeks, I've reconsidered my initial impressions. I think this is superior to the high pressure sphincter injection method. With the 'move' feature. It's plenty of pressure to do the job. Sometimes I run it twice. I don't think it's necessary most of the time, but it's pretty enjoyable so I don't mind.
3) I thought the heated seat was a gimmick, but I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable a warm seat is. I usually forget it's heated right up to the moment I sit down. It's quite nice.
4) The blue glow is pretty awesome
Here are a few observations:
1) The heater will definitely stink up the bathroom if you don't flush first. I'm not really sure how effective the deodorizer is. I usually remember to run it when it's too late (after I start the drying phase). This is going to be the same with any bidet with a dryer though.
And now the CONS:
1) The massage option doesn't seem to do anything. I really cannot tell the difference. 'Move' is enough.
2) The damned plastic T-adapter is silly. I cannot keep the damned thing from leaking no matter what I do.
3) The water cools down before the cycle is over. I wouldn't say it gets cold, but it cools off a little.
None of those things are enough to make me knock an entire star off. If I could remove a half star (to 4.5), I would. The seat is so good in the PRO department though that it's definitely something I would recommend.
If you haven't had a bidet, you will quickly learn that not having one is a real problem. If you have a cheaper bidet, you will want to upgrade. This bidet is a very good value and I highly recommend buying it.
