[Incentivized Review] Aquawash 2.0 Manual SpaLet Bidet Seat
Very pleased with the Aquawash 2.0 Manual SpaLet Bidet Seat. Installation was simple with basic tools, very clear instructions and all of the basic hardware is provided with the Aquawash 2.0. The only tool I needed was a screwdriver, all of the plumbing connections should only be hand tightened. As a reviewer had previously mentioned the LED light in the bowl is always on, I was not thrilled with this feature at first.

Very pleased with the Aquawash 2.0 Manual SpaLet Bidet Seat. Installation was simple with basic tools, very clear instructions and all of the basic hardware is provided with the Aquawash 2.0. The only tool I needed was a screwdriver, all of the plumbing connections should only be hand tightened. As a reviewer had previously mentioned the LED light in the bowl is always on, I was not thrilled with this feature at first. I have a monitoring device that I can plug in line with Aquawash 2.0 that will read the amount of electricy used, the device read an average wattage of approximately 45 watts. I monitored the device and the Aquawash 2.0 actually cycles on and off so there is not a constant draw of 45 watts, you will never feel or see this cycling take place (seat and water is always warm and the lights are always on). We have a septic system and keeping the TP going into the septic tank to a minimum is fantastic. Overall I am extremely happy with Aquawash 2.0 Manual SpaLet Bidet Seat.

Good but Improvements could be made
Overall the seat is well built and comfortable but there are a few things I would change that would allow me to enjoy the seat more. I wish you had the option to turn the bowl light off and on instead of it being on all the time, and that the heated seat would automatically turn off when you get off the seat. Set up was a bit painful but that was no fault of the product, we learned that our toilet has an unusual fitting causing us to buy $40 in additional hoses and fittings to make it work. Thus far I am pretty happy with the product though maybe a little disappointed in the price paid for what I got.

This is my third 'bidet'. My first one was basically a kitchen sink hand sprayer connected to the toilet. It was great for cleaning the toilet, but awkward as a bidet, and the sprayer was not self cleaning. The second was was like this, but not heated. It worked great, but I have well water, and at 45F, it was a brisk experience (especially in Winter, when the pipes made it colder). This one is by far the best. Easy to install. Looks great, with a low profile (Height 3.75"); not bulky like some...
This is my third 'bidet'. My first one was basically a kitchen sink hand sprayer connected to the toilet. It was great for cleaning the toilet, but awkward as a bidet, and the sprayer was not self cleaning. The second was was like this, but not heated. It worked great, but I have well water, and at 45F, it was a brisk experience (especially in Winter, when the pipes made it colder). This one is by far the best. Easy to install. Looks great, with a low profile (Height 3.75"); not bulky like some (Height 6.875") or drawing attention to itself with a Captain Kirk control pad. It has a nice sanitary feature. There are Sensors in the seat; when you sit down, it turns On water to self clean the nozzles. It also has innovative mounting plug that acts as a water seal. It is a tight fit, but with a little proding I got it in (see pics). I had no electrical outlet near the toilet. I had to install an outlet for it to plug in. It is rated at 1000W; which provides it with instant unlimited warm water. Other American Standard's are around 300W; which provides limited warm water (and I assume use power all day long to maintain that reservoir?). I choose to tap into my living room's circuit (adjoining wall). My bathroom was on a single 20A breaker. I have a 1500W space heater, that I turn On when showering. I did not want to overburden the circuit. Now that it is installed, I probably could have added it to my bathroom circuit. It only uses 1000W when the sprayer is active. With only the seat heater On, it cycles ever minute between 1W and 49W. If the Seat heater is turned Off, it uses less than 1W (for the LED Night Light [see pics]). Its natural state is seat heated and water heated On Low. To save power and maximize benefit, I have mine connected to a smart outlet. In Winter, I will leave both On. In Spring and Fall, I will ask Alexa to, "Turn On Bidet", before I plan to use it (seat warms up in about 1 minute). In Summer, I will turn Off the seat heater and leave On the warm Water. Some bidet's have a dryer, but I do not have the patience to sit around to be air dried; I just use toilet paper. FWIW ... when I first turned On the water supply, it leaked from underneath. I thought I did not tighten the hose tight enough, or it was defective, but the leak stopped once the air was out of it.
