I have a 10 year old son who seems incapable of using the toilet without going through half a roll of toilet paper. It's actually, truly absurd. I knew about bidets from my grandparents' house, where my grandfather (a builder) had installed a separate bidet in their bathroom. I next experienced them while traveling in Europe--our rental apartment in Rome had one and its praises were sung by all.

I have a 10 year old son who seems incapable of using the toilet without going through half a roll of toilet paper. It's actually, truly absurd. I knew about bidets from my grandparents' house, where my grandfather (a builder) had installed a separate bidet in their bathroom. I next experienced them while traveling in Europe--our rental apartment in Rome had one and its praises were sung by all. At some point, all of this converged in my head and I realized that a bidet could keep me from going into debt buying toilet paper, not to mention save our ancient septic system. I looked online at a bunch and did a bunch of research and ultimately decided on this magical device. It's a little more expensive than some of the others available, but it had a few things going for it: first, the aesthetics; second, the slimmer profile. This little gadget is sleek and my eyes are already skimming past it when I'm in the bathroom. I like the modern look, but it's also extra functional as well--the knob simply twists right for the rear spray and left for the forward spray. This makes operating it without looking a breeze. The slim aspect of the whole thing has another bonus: it doesn't raise the rear of the seat noticeably. The reviews for many other bidet attachments noted that you'd need to prop up the front of the seat, too, lest the toilet seat snap beneath the weight of its users. This one is so low profile that it doesn't cause an issue at all. Installation was easy. I'm a single 36 y/o woman who considers herself reasonably handy and I was able to do it in about 15 minutes with basic tools. My ONE major suggestion for installation is to obtain some thread seal tape from this site or your local hardware store. It's super cheap, easy to use stuff that just wraps around the threads of the bolt or screw and prevents water from leaking out. It's a buck or two at the major stores and well worth the effort you'll save extra-tightening. Overall, I'm thrilled with this purchase. It really does make a difference in terms of how quickly and efficiently things get clean. By things I obviously mean your bum. This one doesn't have hot water capability, but my sink is too far away anyway so I didn't want or need it. The colder water hasn't been an issue at all for us. Finally, I'll say that the kid happily uses it and hasn't filled the toilet to the brim with paper since I've installed it! Ultimately, I thought this one was worth the slightly higher price because of the aesthetics, but I quickly discovered that its actual function and design make it worth it as well. If I'd bought one of the slightly cheaper ones, I'd have been out the difference getting little bumpers for the front of the seat. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended! I'm sorry I don't have pictures but my bathroom is not ready for its closeup. Read Less

A little unsure, but found it useful for cleansing. The added features of the night light, and heated seat (with dual settings) definitely enhances the value. Also, the fact that the wand rinses itself allays any fears that debris may build up over time. Installation was pretty straight forward, despite having to install an outlet. Outside of that, it was merely a matter of replacing a seat, connecting the hose, and plugging it in. Pretty simple actually. A 'wish' would have been for a seat wi... Read More

A little unsure, but found it useful for cleansing. The added features of the night light, and heated seat (with dual settings) definitely enhances the value.

Outside of that, it was merely a matter of replacing a seat, connecting the hose, and plugging it in. Pretty simple actually. A 'wish' would have been for a seat with a dryer since wiping after washing is a bit damp from just a drip dry. This might be something to consider highlighting so there is no confusion in which model to purchase. All-in-all, great product to significantly upgrade a bathroom experience without having to replace an entire toilet.  Read Less

The seat was incredibly easy to install, I replaced the old one in about 30 minutes. All of the required hardware is included, all you need is a screwdriver and (maybe) an adjustable wrench (don’t overtighten). It is important to note that you do need to have an electrical outlet nearby. I installed a new one a few weeks ago knowing that I was getting this.

The seat was incredibly easy to install, I replaced the old one in about 30 minutes. All of the required hardware is included, all you need is a screwdriver and (maybe) an adjustable wrench (don’t overtighten). It is important to note that you do need to have an electrical outlet nearby. I installed a new one a few weeks ago knowing that I was getting this. The seat itself is comfortable, but you do lose some sitting room and the opening is smaller compared to the regular toilet seat it replaced, because the back part of the seat that houses the electronics and such take up some of the space. It is also simple to use, there are two buttons on left that toggle through low, medium and off settings for the heated seat temperature and water temperature. The dial on the right controls the water flow and ‘aim’ (forwards for front, back for rear and center for ‘off’). The flow isn’t overpowering, but enough to get you clean, and the water warms almost instantly. The sprayer itself is contained when not it use and has a self cleaning system, while the exterior doesn’t appear to be any more difficult to clean than any other seat. It also has a light that automatically illuminates for nighttime visits. My only complaint would be that the cord could be a little longer. I was able to reach mine on the opposite side, but an extra foot or two would’ve been nice so I could tuck it away better. In summary, it may seem a little expensive at first, but when you consider what you pay for a night or two at a fancy hotel compared to something like this that will last you for years of use, I think it is totally worth it. It will also save you money on toilet paper (although you’ll still need some to dry off) and have less impact on your pipes and the environment. It will get you cleaner and the seat heater and warm water are an added comfort. Go ahead and get one…your posterior will thank you later.  Read Less

I honestly *cannot* imagine a better bidet attachment than this one nor a wiser design and functionality. I have seen other bidet attachments for a lower price but what I did not like about them was that they had 2 buttons in order to use: 1 was to select the area to be cleansed (front or rear) and 1 button was to select pressure. I really did not want to spend/waste time working around with 2 buttons when I want to speedily be in-and-out of the bathroom. The GenieBidet is the only one out there... Read More

I honestly *cannot* imagine a better bidet attachment than this one nor a wiser design and functionality. I have seen other bidet attachments for a lower price but what I did not like about them was that they had 2 buttons in order to use: 1 was to select the area to be cleansed (front or rear) and 1 button was to select pressure. I really did not want to spend/waste time working around with 2 buttons when I want to speedily be in-and-out of the bathroom. The GenieBidet is the only one out there that I found which has one single button which by a single turn (left or right) designates *both* the area to be cleaned as well as the water pressure. Absolutely INGENIOUS!!! Installation took 15-20 minutes and the hardest part of the process was shutting off the valve for the water supply to the toilet as the knob required a lot of strength to turn. I could not turn off the water supply completely, so I just put a bucket underneath the pipe and valve to catch all the trickling water and did my best to work in a speedy fashion to install the bidet. Therefore, the hard part was not even with the installation of the bidet itself, but simply due to something already existing in my home which was difficult to use. Installing all the parts of the bidet per the video instruction on Amazon.ca as well as YouTube was an ABSOLUTE breeze and it provided a *wonderful* sense of accomplishment once I finished all by myself. I chose the attachment rather than the bidet seat because I measured my round toilet from the tank to the front of the bowl and it was about 17" (which would not have allowed the lid to stay open) as the recommended minimum for the seat is 19"-20.5". The angle of the jets is absolutely perfect especially for the rear, for the feminine front it helps to adjust posture/sit up straight in order to reach the area needed. Takes a little bit of practice, but I'm on my 2nd day using this and I've already gotten much better at using it! Happiness all around, cleanliness all around, AMAZING PRODUCT and RECOMMEND 100%!!!!

I installed this in our master bathroom and we have used it for about a month now. Since my wife often uses flushable wipes, I got this in hopes of eliminating (or at least significantly decreasing) such usage since they can cause plumbing issues (i.e. clogs!). This was super easy to install...took less than 20 minutes. It comes with a cord that when plugged in heats the seat and the water, but you can also use it without plugging it in which is what we've been doing since we don't necessarily c... Read More

I installed this in our master bathroom and we have used it for about a month now. Since my wife often uses flushable wipes, I got this in hopes of eliminating (or at least significantly decreasing) such usage since they can cause plumbing issues (i.e. clogs!). This was super easy to install...took less than 20 minutes. It comes with a cord that when plugged in heats the seat and the water, but you can also use it without plugging it in which is what we've been doing since we don't necessarily care about a heated seat and/or water. It has two directions of spray (a slightly forward direction and a rear [no pun intended!] direction). You simply use the dial/switch on the side to turn on the spray (move it forward for the front area and move it backward for the rear). It also has two flow settings (min, max) for each direction...so you can choose to spray a little or a lot depending on the situation. We absolutely LOVE this product!!! I wasn't sure how much I would actually use it when I got it but I think I use it more than my wife at this point! Lol It's just so easy and convenient to use. It's also self cleaning btw so now worries there, and the lids are self closing so no more accidentally "dropping" the toilet seat! I would definitely encourage people to check this product out. It's high quality and works flawlessly...and it will definitely eliminate or at least save on the use of flushable wipes!!! :) Totally worth it. Thinking about actually getting one for my parents since we love it so much.  Read Less
