A Must-Have for Comfort and Qualityand its a great conversation started.
I hosted Thanksgiving last year and the bidet was the most entertaining part of the day. After one person used it, they came out of the bathroom and said, “wow, I need one of those!” A line soon formed at the bathroom door and there was a lot of giggling from the kids and jokes made between the adults. I recently purchased the Alpha JX2 Bidet Toilet Seat for the second time, and I am am more than satisfied with the changes that we made and with my decision. The first one was left behind when I...

I recently purchased the Alpha JX2 Bidet Toilet Seat for the second time, and I am am more than satisfied with the changes that we made and with my decision. The first one was left behind when I recently sold my house When I was going through cancer treatment and multiple surgeries, I bought the first Alpha,, hoping it would bring some comfort and ease to my life during a challenging time—and it did. From the very first use, I could tell this was a product designed with care and attention to detail. The standout feature for me is the stainless steel nozzle where the water comes out. It's hygienic, durable, and far superior to plastic nozzles found on other bidets. The water pressure and temperature settings are easily adjustable, allowing for a customized experience that meets my preferences every time. Whether it's for gentle cleaning or a more robust cleanse, the controls are intuitive and responsive. In terms of quality, the Alpha JX2 delivers exactly as promised. It's built to last, and the materials feel premium. The installation process was straightforward, and the seat itself was very comfortable. It's a good purchase decision.

Not Perfect, But Pretty Darn Good
This is my 1st bidet seat and, really, my 1st bidet experience. Conclusion: where’ve you been all my life? I did my research and determined that the JX2 was the one to try. I’ve been using it for a solid 6 months now, and I’ve gotten quite used to it. I’m disappointed if I have to use the other bathroom now. The JX2 was part of a comprehensive bathroom renovation. My fist mistake was going with a round instead of elongated commode bowl. There are a few reasons for this, but... This is my 1st bidet seat and, really, my 1st bidet experience. Conclusion: where’ve you been all my life? I did my research and determined that the JX2 was the one to try. I’ve been using it for a solid 6 months now, and I’ve gotten quite used to it. I’m disappointed if I have to use the other bathroom now. The JX2 was part of a comprehensive bathroom renovation. My fist mistake was going with a round instead of elongated commode bowl. There are a few reasons for this, but suffice it to say, I definitely recommend the elongated over the round, if you have the choice. The beeping: yes, there is a faint “beep” when I sit down (and, I think, also when I stand up.) This can be turned off by plugging in the JX2 while depressing a button on the seat. I’ve found that the house power invariably gets interrupted within days of me doing this, though, and when it comes back on, the seat defaults to beeping again. So, I’ve just gotten used to the beeping. This one’s not that loud. (But it’s still dumb that it beeps. Who needs a toilet seat that beeps? Everything beeps these days. It’s maddening.) The bidet-ing itself is pleasant and effective overall. Sometimes I run concurrent cycles, just to be sure. I recommend pressing the bidet button twice, which gets the wand to do a slight, back-and-forth, scrubbing motion. It was interesting to me to experience changing the water temperature on-the-fly. You push the temp button and that water temperature instantly changes. Speaking of, Alpha should be able to figure out a way to have the initial blast of water be as warm as the rest of it, because it ain’t. It is ALWAYS frigid-cold, just for a second, long enough to make me make a face, and then it’s pleasant. One thing I have noticed recently, temperature-wise, is that the water isn’t always as warm as it was. Maybe my wife is fidgeting with the temp control (which I doubt because she likes everything hotter than I like it), or maybe it’s because the incoming water is much colder than it was in the summer and fall. Regardless, I’ve had some cooler than expected bidets this winter. My wife has complained that, although the wand’s position can be adjusted, she still can’t get it to move far enough forward to be useful in the female application. I have had the same issue at the opposite end. When I’m ready to bidet, even after I draw the wand back as far as it will go, I still have to scoot a little “too” forward on the seat to feel optimally situated. Here is where the elongated bowl and seat (as opposed to the round) could have solved a lot. The drying feature could get warmer faster, which I think would help it not to take so long. I don’t feel the warmth (which could be warmer) until it’s at least a third of the way into its cycle, maybe half way. Before that, it’s just like a cool breeze. It gets high marks for aim though, good aim, just slow to dry. My wife likes the heated seat function, though I could do without it. We both like the night-light feature. I don’t even have to turn the bathroom light on in the middle of the night anymore. I can see everything I need to see. If I was to suggest anything to Alpha, like if they asked me, I’d maybe recommend a model with a throttle on the side, like driving a boat, something you could pull back on to crank up the water pressure. I’d buy that (and maybe a Captain’s hat to wear with it).

Comfortable Installation
I’m sure there are dozens of cracks that could be made about this product but I’ll just say that it works as we hoped it would and the installation was straightforward and relatively simple. We have a power outlet within reach of the power cord so there was no drama there. The only modification that I had to make was the bolts that hold the seat to the bowl. I have a 3” riser on the bowl for handicap use. The supplied bolts for the seat are designed for installation directly to the bowl and the head on the bolt has a very low profile. I modified the bolts on the existing setup and used them on the new seat. All went well and the new seat functions as we expected.

Great Product!
This is a terrific product. It was easy to install, is made of high-quality plastic, exhibits good workmanship, is relatively low profile, the remote is easy to understand and use, and--most importantly--it works well. We liked our first one so much we purchased a second.

Why did I wait so long?
I think this has to be one of the best purchases I've ever made. The first time I used it, I was sold. Why on earth did I spend the last 40+ years of my life wiping with dry paper? This thing is powerful. Nice warm seat, warm water and a warm dryer. Cleans everything right up. If you're on the fence, just know you won't regret this purchase.

Alpha JX
I was asked to write a review for the Alpha JX bidet and I do so without hesitation. I’m a 72 year old man and had never used a bidet but was curious after a friend told me how much it helped her elderly mother. I did some research and decided on Alpha having read reviews at BidetKing and other sites.

The features and benefits of this technology was mind blowing to include: a night light, heated seat; adjustable water pressure, water temperature, nozzle position, and dryer temp all controlled by a wall mountable remote. I decided to go for it after seeing so many positive reviews and am so glad I did. Everything promised was delivered including a fairly simple installation and good customer service. Once you individualize the adjustments and experience this new hygienic technology, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get one sooner.

Our first bidet.
This is a wonderful product. It arrived on time. The instructions, for those who read them, were excellent. It was a snap to install, although I added an outlet for the bidet. It has every bell and whistle you could desire. Makes going to the bathroom fun! Highly recommend this bidet. We have the elongated and love the remote for one button use.Water always starts out warm and air dry works well. The underseat night light provides guidance at night and my wife loves the heated seat. Self cleaning nozzle and although I haven't used the preclean bowl spray yet, the idea is good. Seat can be adjusted and once in place, does not move around. A little pricey, but top rated and worth the cost!

Fantastic purchase
A friend has one of these - after trying it at their house, we were sold. I particularly like the fact that it has a remote instead of buttons on the side.
