If you are looking for a simple, unobtrusive bidet that just works, this is it. I've been through a few over the years, but I've had this one for a few years now and if I somehow managed to break it I would buy another one within minutes. True story, my girlfriend of over a year didn't even know I had a bidet until I mentioned it this week, and wouldn't believe me until I showed her.

If you are looking for a simple, unobtrusive bidet that just works, this is it. I've been through a few over the years, but I've had this one for a few years now and if I somehow managed to break it I would buy another one within minutes. True story, my girlfriend of over a year didn't even know I had a bidet until I mentioned it this week, and wouldn't believe me until I showed her. If this is your first venture into the world of bidets, there are a couple of things you should know: 1. You will never go back. I utterly despise bidet-less toilets now. They shouldn't be allowed to exist. 2. If you're worried about cold water in the winter and think you need a fancy electric heated bidet, all I can tell you is yes, the water is cold, but no, it's not a big deal. I can't speak to your posterior specifically, but as for myself and others I've spoken to, it just ain't that sensitive. And given that this only needs water pressure to work, there is less to break (or electrocute you) which I consider a plus. 3. This is a great way to try a bidet without breaking the bank. And I believe you will find that you don't need anything more, actually, as this is a perfect design. 4. While this should fit most toilets just fine, there may be some instances where you need some modifications. In my case, because of a unique tank design, I needed a short hose extension because the valve for the bidet would not otherwise fit. No big deal. 5. Seriously, just do it. Read Less

My mom in law bought a Brondell bidet and I bought the Genie about a week apart. I installed both and like the Genie significantly more. The Genie has a good slow close lid which stays open when the lid is lifted. The Brondell lid didn’t stay open. The Genie looks like a real toilet seat with the attachment point readily accessible for cleaning. The Brondell lid has a bulky attachment that covers the attachments and has a button on the side that allows you to remove the seat easily. It doesn’t... Read More

My mom in law bought a Brondell bidet and I bought the Genie about a week apart. I installed both and like the Genie significantly more. The Genie has a good slow close lid which stays open when the lid is lifted. The Brondell lid didn’t stay open. The Genie looks like a real toilet seat with the attachment point readily accessible for cleaning. The Brondell lid has a bulky attachment that covers the attachments and has a button on the side that allows you to remove the seat easily. It doesn’t help for cleaning because the attachment is a large piece of plastic that crosses both seat attachment points. Also, the Brondell leaked and took significant effort to stop the leak. The Genie requires no plumbers tape and had no leaks. Finally, the Genie bidet portion has a detent on the knob for turning off the water, the Brondell required me to feel when the water stopped. Overall, after 2 weeks of regular use, I like the Genie a lot. It is pretty easy to install, has never leaked, the seat feels like a good mid range toilet seat regardless of the bidet feature and I like how the knob turns the water off and on. It is smooth and doesn’t feel cheap. One other thing, I have not found I need heated water which surprised me until I tried my mom in laws. I would buy this bidet again and highly recommend it. Update August 1, 2024: No change in opinion after 7 months of use. It still works great. No leaks and lid closes slowly and smoothly. Would definitely buy again. Read Less
