A bidet is one of those items that most do not have, but may have a strong opinion on. Installation was quick and easy for someone with general handy-man knowledge, and the bidet has been up and running for a little less than a year at the time of writing. The self-cleaning mode does what it is supposed to, and all other modes are contingent on local water pressure and temperature. All modes work fine and as expected.

A bidet is one of those items that most do not have, but may have a strong opinion on. Installation was quick and easy for someone with general handy-man knowledge, and the bidet has been up and running for a little less than a year at the time of writing. The self-cleaning mode does what it is supposed to, and all other modes are contingent on local water pressure and temperature. All modes work fine and as expected. No leaks have noticeably occurred at this time due to proper PTFE taping of the bidet connections. A note to would-be or new bidet users: Be slow and careful at first. Make sure to slowly increase the pressure setting, or you may notice that your time on the porcelain throne may be extended indefinitely. I do wish there was a heating element for this bidet in the winter, but I am aware that doing such may be harmful due to possible bacteria growth, electric hazards, long plumbing fixtures, and burned bottoms. The only downside is that the bidet can be tricky to clean without turning off the local water supply spigot, which should absolutely be done before engaging in cleaning the apparatus and prior to installation.

"Bidet Install: 7 Minutes, Zero Sweat (Mostly)" "Okay, fellow DIYers, this bidet install was a breeze. I timed it: 7 minutes flat. As a single mom who's wrestled her fair share of leaky faucets, I can confidently say this was easier than changing a lightbulb. (Just kidding, changing lightbulbs is hard.)

"Bidet Install: 7 Minutes, Zero Sweat (Mostly)" "Okay, fellow DIYers, this bidet install was a breeze. I timed it: 7 minutes flat. As a single mom who's wrestled her fair share of leaky faucets, I can confidently say this was easier than changing a lightbulb. (Just kidding, changing lightbulbs is hard.) Pro Tip 1: Spotless throne is a must! Cleaning your toilet before installing this thing is non-negotiable. It's like bathing in a dirty sink – just wrong. Pro Tip 2: Plumbing tape on metal fittings only! Installation done, I couldn't wait to test it out. (Even though, you know...nature wasn't calling.) My 6-year-old, bless her curious soul, is already a fan. "Awesome and refreshing!" she declared. Dial 1: Pressure. Start low, then crank it up to your liking. Dial 2: Aim. Butt, lady bits, or self-clean (which sadly doesn't magically scrub your toilet). Warning: The water gets COLD. Like, "I-might-need-a-blanket" cold. Another Warning: Aim carefully! This thing has a mind of its own. I learned this the hard way (thank you, YouTube pot lid hero). Reduced toilet paper? Eh, not so much. You still need to dry off. The Verdict: I'm officially a bidet convert. Feeling clean has never felt so luxurious. The only downside? The icy blast first thing in the morning. But hey, it wakes me up better than coffee. Worth the $50? Absolutely. Now, I feel dirty without it. Who knew a toilet attachment could be life-changing?" Read Less

I upgraded 2 bathrooms at home and decided to install bidet attachments. I bought this one and another from another brand. My comments here will include comparisons of both. Note that these products are hard to demo - because of what they are and what they do. I hope my attempt in the video is helpful. A few things for new users to this type of product: 1.

I upgraded 2 bathrooms at home and decided to install bidet attachments. I bought this one and another from another brand. My comments here will include comparisons of both. Note that these products are hard to demo - because of what they are and what they do. I hope my attempt in the video is helpful. A few things for new users to this type of product: 1. If you have never used a bidet before it will take some mental adjustment (and some physical shifting while sitting to get it to hit just right). 2. If you go #2 you may choose to wait to flush until you’ve finished using the bidet. OR you can choose to flush twice. 3. Note that the water these bidets shoot at you is clean water coming directly from the pipe that feeds your toilet tank NOT from the tank itself. It’s clean and sanitary. 4. Bidet sellers claim they reduce the use of TP but I'm not too sure about that. When you're done you will be wet (but clean) and you will need to dry off. Plus the seat may also have some splashes that you will want to clean up. Ladies are used to using TP after #1 anyway, so no changes there. Pros: + Easy installation – took me half hour with basic tools (small pipe wrench) all necessary parts and a small quantity of thread tape are supplied + Self-cleaning option - the nozzles are hidden behind a discreet plastic shield - which is neat but make it difficult to clean manually, so it's great to have the self cleaning mode where the device flushes itself with water Cons: - Non-intuitive operation - device is controlled by turning 2 knobs which have to be rotated to your preferred selection (ladies, #2, self-clean). There are simpler devices available One concern which I have for this bidet (and the other) is that they are made from ABS plastic. It feels rigid enough for when it is used correctly, but it feels like it could break under moderate force. It’s only been a few weeks so we’ll see. Overall, I’m happy with this product. Read Less

Clear Rear This unit definitely gives that minty fresh feeling. Lol. This bidet comes in an attractive sturdy box. Instructions, fittings and plumbing tape come in a zip lock bag. The instructions to install are pictures. Very little verbiage on the instruction card. And the operation instructions are a bit vague. When you are about to squirt water on your privates you kinda want to know a little bit more on the operation instructions so I referred to a YouTube video for more information. Installation took 7 minutes. Yes, I timed it. I’m the tool owner in the house, a single mom whose learned how to be handy around the house so using a channel lock wrench and a flathead screwdriver is not foreign to me. But if if you’re not handy with tools and don’t have the basic plumbing knowledge to install this unit, you may want to refer to someone who is handy with tools. Although the instructions are pictorial and the process is very easy. The only thing the instructions do not show is using the plumbing tape (blue and white roll included). Make sure you are using the plumbing tape on all metal threaded fittings. It’s not necessary to use plumbing tape on plastic threaded fittings. I also recommend to use this time to fully clean you’re toilet. All of it. Something about installing a new bidet on a dirty toilet seems counter intuitive. I mean, we are talking about cleaning the privates with this new gadget so having a total clean experience is good for the mental health too, right? Once installed, I wanted to use it and test it out. But I didn’t have to go! Doesn’t it suck to get something new and want to use it but can’t? So, I faked having to go and gave it a try. Hubby is thoroughly enjoying this entire experience by the way. He says he’s not going to use it. I bet he does. Ha! There are two dials - one for water pressure and one to direct the water to the area you want to clean. Be cautious about the pressure you use. Start low and adjust as needed to find that sweet spot for comfort. The 2nd dial has 3 settings: (1) normal which jets a stream of water to the butt. This is for both men and women. It’s a perfect steady stream too. I was wondering how the manufacturer knew how to get the aim just right. (2) the 2nd setting is the “female” setting. This jets a spray type stream aimed towards the female parts. And it’s spot on too. Think of a kitchen sink faucet that has a steady stream and a spray setting. Similar to that just not as wide of a spray to the female area. (3) The 3rd setting is suppose to be a self cleaning setting to clean the jets. This doesn’t clean the toilet so you still have to clean your toilet. Wish it did that. :) Note: I can’t believe I’m actually writing a bidet review but this is important to note: the water in the line that jets to the privates is room temperature. At first. However, if you allow it continue jet streaming water on your privates it WILL get colder. And colder. And colder. Afterwards I felt numb down there it was so cold. So be mindful of this in case you’re enjoying the experience a little too much. Lol Note: This also warrants mentioning - you may want to close your legs a little before turning on the jet stream to clean you. It will squirt out the toilet onto whatever is in front of you if you don’t. In the YouTube video I watched, the person used a large pot lid held in place before testing out the jets. When he didn’t the water squirted right out of the toilet onto the floor. So don’t let your kids play with the bidet!! As for the reduced toilet paper the listing promotes, I’m still not sure how that works because one does need to dry off down there. So there will be toilet paper use. Although, I suppose if one wants to use a dry washcloth to dry the area that would eliminate toilet paper use. So it’s up to you. For now 5 stars because this is still new to use and we aren’t sure where this experience will go. If anything changes we will update the review. Update: 03/26/2023 Breaking News! The husband is using the bidet!! lol. How do I know? My bathroom detective skills have been in high gear since we installed the bidet. We are a family of 2 adults plus pets. Typically, we use 4-5 rolls of TP per week. Actually, the husband uses most of that as he goes #2 more often in a day than I do. Plus I have to wipe both areas vs his one. So a 3 roll per week drop in TP use is significant. Significant enough for me to ask him outright if he is using it. His ego won’t allow him to say yes. Instead he responded with “Ive used it a few times.” I personally love it. I feel clean and comfortable down there. Being a female I am able to use both bidet features and it’s not bad. The only downside for me is the first AM visit since it’s still winter here. The water is so cold!! I cringe right before I turn the knobs. On the positive side, that cold hosed down experience first thing in the morning does wake me up. I’m consuming less coffee. And I imagine during the hottest summer months that cold water might be a welcome experience. We have a few months yet to experience that. Spending $50 on a toilet gadget may seem a bit steep for some. I thought so. But I’m here to say it’s worth it if it makes you feel better. In fact, we had Amazon send his parents one but didn’t tell them about it. Can you imagine what they thought when they opened the box? lol. It’s been a week and we still haven’t heard about it. We find this amusing. Read Less
