[Incentivized Review] Works well
This works really well for a non electric bidet. It was easy to install and looks like a regular toilet seat and lid when closed. It has two different spray options. It's easy to use. The only drawback is the the water is not heated. That takes some getting used to but otherwise it's great. Pros Durable, Easy to Use, Sturdy, High Quality, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Nice Design

This is an electric bidet so you would need an electrical outlet near your toilet to plug it in. Lots of features and like two water sprays, self-cleansing feature after every use. Instant heating for unlimited warm water. Soft night light for use during night time. It's low profile so it doesn't seem bulky or add too much height on your toilet seat. Worth the price.

It will pay for itself!
I never considered myself a bidet kind of guy. Our grown daughter, however, loves hers and practically insisted that we install one in the guest bath for her visits. Not wanting to put anything in the guest bath that I wouldn't use myself... I ordered one of these for our own bathroom. From the first squirt, I was a convert.

Granted, I can't compare this to any other bidets but I like this one because... It's affordable and will pay for itself in TP savings... It's easy to install (and can be removed just as easily)... It looks unobtrusive (to my eyes) and allows you to use your current seat... It's aim is perfect (for my backside anyway)... It has both Left and Right handled options (many brands are right-handed only and our bathroom layout required a Left-handed mount. The only downside I can see is that the control armature feels a little flimsy. It doesn't seem like it would take much abuse. Still, we've never had any issues. Try one and you might be a convert also.

a precise, attractive, well-made bidet - SUPERB
For 15 years, we've had a "bidetmatic" purchased in Argentina, where bidets are a part of everybody's bathroom. Argentinians take their bidets seriously, and they have a separate bidet, which is the size of a toilet next to the toilet. The bidetmatic was their solution to creating an attachment for smaller bathrooms or people who just didn't want an entirely separate appliance in their bathroom. For the past several decades, I've had some serious GI problems, and as a result... For 15 years, we've had a "bidetmatic" purchased in Argentina, where bidets are a part of everybody's bathroom. Argentinians take their bidets seriously, and they have a separate bidet, which is the size of a toilet next to the toilet. The bidetmatic was their solution to creating an attachment for smaller bathrooms or people who just didn't want an entirely separate appliance in their bathroom. For the past several decades, I've had some serious GI problems, and as a result of this, I became a fundamentalist user of the bidetmatic, struggling mightily whenever I had to travel to places that did not have a bidet. So when my right arm was immobilized due to surgery, I was in crisis, unable to use my right-handed bidetmatic. I read all the reviews online and concluded that this was the one. Genie Bidet was going to join our household. Living with a right-handed bidet but in need now of a left-handed bidet I had to make the shift. After 15 years of faithful service by my bidetMatic, I upgraded reluctantly. The genie bidet attachment immediately stood out as an attractive addition to the toilet, not just a mechanical functional industrial attachment like my Argentinian model. It uses a different approach than the Argentinian one, which is a metal swing arm variety. The genie bidet is one that shoots water from the back of the toilet forward. I was skeptical about its aim, but I've since learned that it is spot on. To cut to the chase, this new bidet is a huge benefit to me with my arm in a sling for the next 2 1/2 months and a surprisingly upscale and attractively functional addition to our bathroom. It is effortless to use, provides a great focused stream of water that hits the bullseye every time, and has an easy-to-use and attractive handle perfectly positioned for my left hand. My initial panic about going three months without a bidet is over I always intended to use this temporarily until my right arm was better, at which point it was going to be my intention to switch back to the original bidetmatic from Argentina for nostalgic reasons. But this one is such a significant upgrade to the older model that I can't imagine switching it back at this point. Now, the discussion in my head is whether to replace the other Argentine bidetmatic in the other toilet with another one of these models. The prices are good enough that the temptation is high. I did struggle with my genie bidet installation. The unit comes with the proprietary water line hookups and t-valves that are both attractive and I presume quite functional. But that would require a full replacement of all water lines to the toilet, and given that I had a tight squeeze back there and one arm that didn't work, this was going to be a big effort. I can see that If you are starting from scratch in that, this is your first bidet attachment such that you currently only have one water line going from the main to the toilet, then using their proprietary hookups would be precisely what you want to do even though it requires emptying the water tank during your installation. The installation is not that difficult, and within 20 minutes, the average person would be able to do the job themselves even if they've never done such a job before. But in my case, I was replacing an older bidet with this one and, moreover, doing it with one hand. Because I was doing a replacement, I already had the T valve installed, and with water lines that were at least several decades old, I was concerned about messing around if I didn't need to. It took me approximately $15 and a trip to the hardware store to Frankenstein a dedicated connection between the T valve I have on my main and the new bidet. See photo. This installation requires a water line hose and two adapters to connect to the bidet. Thus, I bypassed the replacement of the line to the toilet altogether....and voila. a one-handed replacement. In other words, although Genie Bidet provides proprietary water lines, they don't provide a simple water line option that would hook from the water main to the bidet directly without going through the T valve Once I got all the pieces I needed from the hardware store, the installation itself took 5 minutes, and it has been pure bliss ever since. I am completely sold now on this bidet, and when my arm is better, I'll replace the other one in the other bathroom, and the old bidets will get cleaned up and brought to the thrift store. A superb product with GREAT personalized customer service. UPDATE: everyday I love this bidet more and more. I'm about to buy another one for the other bathroom.

[Incentivized Review] Best toilet upgrade
This is my first experience with a bidet. I was very skeptical about using a bidet at first as I wasn’t sure what to expect. This is a bathroom game changer. It a very pleasant experience with the heated water and seat functions. Plus you save money on toilet paper! I really like the soft close feature of the lid so it doesn’t slam shut. The seat was very easy to install. I was able to have it all hooked up and operating in about 15 minutes.

Love this upgrade! Wish I had known about these seats sooner!

One spray of your crack and you'll never go back.
Easy to install, easy to use, works well and is a life changer. Mine developed an issue after a few weeks where it would spray from both nozzles simultaneously no matter which way I'd turn the dial. All it took was one email to the company and they sent me another unit (minus the pipes and valve) and I got it back up and running in no time (literally 5 minutes). I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.
