Review Explorer

In one word--wow. I've traveled through Europe and have seen the tub-like bidets sitting next to a conventional toilet, but never saw the need to try one out; fussing with the hot and cold water taps just seemed backwards. Then, a month ago, I bought and installed this Woodbridge toilet-seat-style bidet and added it to our conventional toilet.

In one word--wow. I've traveled through Europe and have seen the tub-like bidets sitting next to a conventional toilet, but never saw the need to try one out; fussing with the hot and cold water taps just seemed backwards. Then, a month ago, I bought and installed this Woodbridge toilet-seat-style bidet and added it to our conventional toilet. Helps to be a bit handy, since you hook it up to the toilet water supply (via an included T-fitting and a short length of stainless-steel braided water line) and also to an outlet (most bathrooms have GFI outlets these days, but if you don't, the bidet has a GFI already attached). After learning how to use the thing and its clever remote control, I have to say, again--wow! What an improvement in your basic toilet routine. Since anything involving toilet utilization usually brings titters from kids and even adults, I will just put it this way. You know what the term "skidmark" means? With this product, NO MORE SKIDMARKS. EVER. It's that good. Makes using toilet paper seem prehistoric. Doesn't take longer to use, just ten times cleaner. Did quite a bit of research on different bidets. This Woodbridge is a fraction of the cost of other models, yet loaded with features and very well-made. And even if you're hefty, you can use the toilet as a seat with the lid closed. Heavy-duty all around. Five stars and then some. ONE-YEAR UPDATE: Now it's early November 2021, so we've been using this thing for a little over a year. Gotta say this is one nice appliance. Because it's no doubt complicated inside, with microprocessors, valves, water tanks, heaters, and such, I don't know how many years it will last, but after one year it is exactly the same as it was on day one, and we love using it. Can't think of the last time I used toilet paper, and this cleaning method is far more effective but just as fast. To repeat, the product is just flawless, the heavy-duty seat can be sat upon when closed, the water comes out immediately warm, the remote works flawlessly, the water fittings are rugged metal, the installation went smoothly. But this is an add-on to your existing toilet base, and a few bases have a shape that is not compatible. Also, you'll need 110v. But no danger from electricity while in use, as the unit already comes with a GFI plug. Your bathroom probably already has a 110v outlet, but eventually you'll want to get another one installed down lower near the toilet once you're sold on the merits of this seat. And trust me, you're probably gonna love it as we do. I do wish this brand were better advertised, as it's superior in numerous ways to the competition. 1 - 1/2 year UPDATE: First of all, where has the time gone? One and a half years? Seriously? Anyway, the bidet seat continues to work flawlessly. Sprayer sprays, nozzle moves to and fro, water is nice and warm, seat is wonderfully warm on these cold winter nights, and the blue internal night light is always a welcome sight at 2am. It would be nice to have a lit remote screen, but we know where the appropriate buttons are in the dark because I put a couple of small squares of tape over the two that are needed so you can feel them without looking. I am confused by some of the critical reviews here. Missing parts? The toilet "requires" four holes? Four holes? For what? A professional plumber is needed? Not if you are remotely handy. I did find water on the floor behind the toilet a few months in, but it was the rubber gasket on the water line going into the tank; it was old and had been disturbed during the installation. New gasket installed. We never use the hot air feature, which by the way is plenty hot. Whatever moisture remains on your nether regions is warm fresh water droplets, not urine, so nothing stains or leaves an odor on clothing, and the clothing dries very quickly anyway. So yes, we are very pleased with this product. A 110v outlet was installed down by the toilet to make the installation neat and professional-looking, and the plumbing is of excellent non-plastic quality. I plan to buy several more of these for other toilets. High-quality product. Read Less
