Update after 2 years: have been using this every day every time I go. It is still like brand new. Love the cold water, it is refreshing. My best buy ever.
The product is designed for simple toilets, not the skirted ones.

The product is designed for simple toilets, not the skirted ones. I called customer service to ask if anything can be done, and all I can say is they are probably the best customer service in the world. They picked up the phone after 1 ring!!!!!!, they explained very clearly what was needed to add when installed on a skirted or one piece toilet (a 6 inch toilet extension hose 7/8" male female), they emailed a lot of pictures showing how it can be installed with that hose plus written explanation as well. The hose was shipped in 3 days (by another company), it is a perfect fit, very easy to instal. I chose to have the bracket installed on the wall because I find that easier to reach. And the product itself is out of this world. Made of brass, will certainly outlive me. There is plenty of pressure but it is adjustible for any requirement. All the chrome finish gives it a squeeking clean feel, there are extra parts for longer handles, and an extra head for a softer jet. I just love this gadget and am very happy that I chose this manufacturer, I can't imagine a better made one in its category. Also now that I have it, I would never think of getting one of those fancy bidet seats where so many things can go wrong. Nothing beats simplicity.
After 10 days: I love it even more. The cold water spray feels so refreshing, I certainly do not miss or want warm water added.

Pays for itself, works better and is less expensive than the alternative

I bought this a couple years ago, at the start of the Covid-19 Pandemic when there were fears of toilet paper shortages. I had been considering buying something like this for a while, but the concerns of a shortage pushed me to finally do it. Overall, I've been very happy with the purchase. A bidet works better, and leaves you feeling cleaner, than using toilet paper. To illustrate: if you got your hands dirty with "something", would you use a paper towel, and only a paper towel, to clean them?...
I bought this a couple years ago, at the start of the Covid-19 Pandemic when there were fears of toilet paper shortages. I had been considering buying something like this for a while, but the concerns of a shortage pushed me to finally do it. Overall, I've been very happy with the purchase. A bidet works better, and leaves you feeling cleaner, than using toilet paper. To illustrate: if you got your hands dirty with "something", would you use a paper towel, and only a paper towel, to clean them? I think not. You would definitely use water. Water cleans better than dry paper. Using a bidet leaves you feeling cleaner and re-freshed. It's definitely one of those products that makes you think, "I've been doing it wrong my whole life. Why didn't I get one of these years ago?"
Once you decide to buy: you should know that there are two basic approaches to bidets that are add-ons to a normal toilet. The kind that are part of a toilet seat and the kind that are a handheld sprayer. The Aquaus 360 is a handheld type. I decided on handheld because of, shall we say, "aiming". With a in-the-seat model, you have to position your "self" in the right place for the water to go where it's needed. With the handheld type, you hold the sprayer and direct the water with your hand. That just seemed like a better approach to me. (Although, to be fair, I've never used the in-the-seat models.)
Now that I've used it for two years, I calculate that it's getting close to paying for itself in reduced toilet-paper usage. From here on, we're saving money. Getting cleaner, feeling better, saving money. What's not to like?
The Aquaus 360 is very sturdy and should last for years. I have one small issue. There are two on/off control valves. One at the end of the hose where it connects to the water supply and one on the handheld part of the unit, which not only controls between on and off, but also allows you to vary the water flow (pressure) anywhere between fully on and fully off. This is a very good design. The instructions say that the water should be turned off at the source (not just at the handheld unit) when not in use. That seems like a good idea, as the valve at the source is much heavier. After using the Sprayer for more than a year, I have noticed that a bit of water, just a drip, still flows thru the Sprayer even if the valve on the handheld unit is in the off position (and the valve at the source is still on, of course). Turning it off at the source stops the drip. I am sure this could be fixed with a small part like a washer or such and I will eventually do that. I just haven't gotten aronud to it yet.

I wish I would have known about this product a long time ago. I suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and never feel completely clean. I originally wanted to purchase the bidet attachment that fits under the toilet seat, but my hubby didn’t like the aesthetics of it. I looked at several seats and sprayers and really liked the reviews on this sprayer - so I purchased it. Easy to install. Very good quality. Less obtrusive than the bidet seat attachment.

We don’t have the hot water attachment, so ours is connected to the toilet plumbing which is “BRRRRR” cold water. Lol! But honestly, once you get used to it, it feels refreshing. It does take a couple of tries to get used to how the sprayer works. My advise, as I learn from my mistakes...lol! The first time I turned it on, I turned on the main shut off valve and the sprayer handle wasn’t in the off position. Water sprayed all over the wall! Hahaha. So I’ve learned to hold the sprayer into toilet bowel, then turn on the main valve behind the toilet. Then aim where you want it. From there you can adjust the pressure. One of the best purchases I’ve made.

Love this product. I tried and returned three different other brands and this one is the best.
If you never installed a bidet, listen up:
You will need a product that has these plastic turning nobs as shown in the picture 2. You can hand tighten them without any tools and plumber tapes. Its as easy as 5 mins installation.

The materials are very soild. Not cheap plastics.
The pressure adjust switch is very sturdy so it can be adjust evenly and accurately. The water won’t suddenly gushing out like other brands
The look is very beautiful and minimal. It feels very expensive and elegant.
It comes with different attachments so that I can switch depending on my needs. It’s very versatile
The price is a bit on the high side, but you got what you pay for. This one is hands down the best one in every categories.
My only wish is that they can give choices on the length of hose. It comes with a 54 inches hose. I like my bathroom to be more minimal. To get the job done, I only need about 35-40 inches. I wish they can offer a shorter option either with the box or on the product page with cheaper price option.

Simple install and works great

Bought one of these a few weeks ago and put it on one toilet to try it out. Heavy duty all metal is the one I got. They do sell one with some plastic, but I would pay the little bit extra and get the all metal. Anyway, my husband installed the first one in about 5 minutes. Very easy. Then we bought a second one and installed it. You do need a flexible toilet supply line. If you have a grey plastic pex one, you will have to change that. Again, fairly easy to do. This functions really well. You can adjust the intensity of the spray, the length of the handle and I think a few other things. Can't believe how great it works!!

Enjoy the After-Go! I'm not a bidet kind of guy but.....I kind of love this.

If I had written this review when I first used the bidet, I would have rated it two stars but now I love it. When I first used the bidet, I found it difficult to adjust the pressure with the rotary dial that allows water flow through the handle. As a result, I soaked myself and the toilet seat. Once I learned to only turn the dial to 1/8 to 1/4 full strength, it was perfect. So, expect a learning curve before this product behaves the way you want it to.

If I had written this review when I first used the bidet, I would have rated it two stars but now I love it. When I first used the bidet, I found it difficult to adjust the pressure with the rotary dial that allows water flow through the handle. As a result, I soaked myself and the toilet seat. Once I learned to only turn the dial to 1/8 to 1/4 full strength, it was perfect. So, expect a learning curve before this product behaves the way you want it to. I paid a little extra money for the commercial grade and I think it was worth it. This thing feels solid - like a well made tool or a professional dental instrument. The valve that attaches to the underside of the toilet tank is made of metal which makes me feel a lot better since it is holding back full pressure when turned off. We turn it off after every use since the handheld part of it is not designed to hold pressure constantly although it is just as solidly built as the toilet tank valve is. The hose is also solid - not like the plastic wrapped in aluminum spiral hose that you may have experienced with handheld showers that always develops a leak once it is pinched. Instead, this one is heavy and metal. I've read that some people use bidets like this to hose off cloth diapers into the toilet bowl and clean the toilet bowl itself. When you experience the kind of pressure this bidet can generate, you'll have no problem imagining it being used for these purposes. I have never used a toilet seat bidet but I've read they can tip you forward at an awkward angle due to the addition of the thick under-seat "mechanics" required to power the bidet nozzle. I've also read they make it difficult to keep the toilet clean - an assertion that makes sense to me since more surface area allows more nooks and crannies for germs and filth to hide. This bidet eliminates these concerns because there is nothing mounted to the toilet bowl. Some may say having the toilet seat style is a bonus because the nozzles are always there and at the right angle. My thinking is that the nozzles in the bowl would be difficult to keep clean reliably and, if the nozzles are misaligned even slightly, then the whole apparatus is useless. With a little practice, the hand held wand on this product is always aimed perfectly and is a snap to keep clean. As you may have read on other reviews, once you use a bidet, you will not want to go back to just toilet paper. The bidet is a much more pleasurable and hygienic experience and my toilet paper usage has gone down by an estimated 80% - good for the environment, my wallet, and it eases my mind about any TP future supply chain issues! It was also super easy to install. It took perhaps 10 minutes. I thought about this purchase for a long time because I just couldn't think of myself as a bidet kind of guy but my spouse wanted it so I got it for her as a surprise. We both love it now.

Bidets and toilet showers are common in many other parts of the world and I’ve had the opportunity to use many in travels throughout the years. One of the main issues is the spray of water coming out. In a toilet shower it should be forceful, but the quality of tools and precision of the hole determines the “shape” of the spray - if I’m making sense. When poorly drilled the holes can allow tiny jets to form stinging the skin. This unit’s most important part - the stream of water is excellent. The shape of each stream on this unit forms a stream not a misshapen spray.
The Rinsewise is all solid metal. I was impressed taking it out of the package. It is weighty in the hand indicating the use of all metal. The fit and finish is excellent. There are several combination of lengths of arms to use as well as two sprayer heads for narrow or wider spray.
The installation is very straight forward and all that is needed is on the package. The water at the wall should be turned off. Mine is already a 1/4 turn ball cock or I would replace - The better design now used in homes.
Then merely attach the distribution valve provided to the toilet tank wher you just removed the water line. Then connect the water line to the valve. Lastly connect the sprayer hose to the valve. The valve also has a 1/4 ball click positive shut off on it for ease of turning off for extended periods.
The holes in the sprayer are designed and drilled in a manner the spray, even if forceful, is “softer” than sprayers with the holes poorly cut allow tiny jets of water to sting. The units control is a roller valve that can be controlled by thumb or finger or both. The water rate of flow is very easy to control with this design.
The unit has a nice length of quality hose that doesn’t bind like this style of hose does on many cheaper shower and toilet sprayers. Even the hanger, which just easily slips over the wall of the toilet tank after you lift the lid , is all well finished metal.
I am not a review writer and I don’t own stock in the company. I am just one satisfied customer who believes a quality product should be recognized. Though pricy - it appears because of the quality it will give a lifetime of service. I highly recommend this product.
