Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My booty hole has never been cleaner. As with most Americans, I was hesitant at the thought of using a bidet and out of ignorance, considered it more for female hygiene. I enlightened myself through a little research and decided to purchase this bidet based on the reviews and price. Installation: I'm familiar with removing and installing toilets, as well as general household plumbing. The attachments and hoses seem to be of decent quality and I had no trouble making sound connections. There is an adjustment from front to back on the toilet seat mounts where I was able to move the bidet forward or backward. I don't believe there were any instructions as to the "proper" placement, so I moved the bidet backward as close as I could get it to the toilet bowl without touching. I think it was the third notch from the front. I was also able to move the bidet from side to side, so I just made sure to center it within the bowl. If your hole is crooked, maybe these aren't the right adjustments for you. I used no Teflon tape, as each connection has a rubber washer; no leaks from any connection. For tools, my entire installation only required use of an open end adjustable wrench. Of course, you'll spill a little water when disconnecting from the toilet tank, so have a towel ready for that. Use: I had no intention of "resting" at that particular moment, but I certainly had to test it out. I opened the lid and slammed the switch all the way on to see what happened. Well, water sprayed all over the adjacent wall. It was quite a sight, and it sure reinforced my apprehension of using a bidet in the first place. I felt like I just installed a pressure washer inside of my toilet, and if you have ever read the warning label on a pressure washer, it's not something you would want to point at your nether region. I mopped up the water, closed the lid and decided to leave this newfangled contraption for a later date. Eventually, the time had come to experience the cleaning bliss. Having never used a bidet before and seeing what it was capable of during my initial test, I was a little puckered at first. Perhaps this might have varied my results a bit, too. I winced, carefully turned the switch to first detent after "OFF," and waited. A whole lot of nothing happened. So I cranked it up a bit more, and POW! Bulls-eye! I won't lie, it was quite shocking at first and many questions ran through my head. I won't say that the experience is akin to doing a cannon ball while skinny dipping, but it sure lets you know it's there. I spent a good deal of time making sure "everything" was clean, then turned it off. The moment of truth; I plucked a section of toilet paper and gave a little wipe. The TP disintegrated. Swell... I then realized a pat dry was in order. After that, the test came and I passed with flying colors. I also felt a level of freshness I had not felt prior to this method. I have honestly never experienced anything like it, so I can't find anything to compare it to, but I will say that I have quickly become accustomed to this bidet being the conclusion to my "resting" sessions. Note: I have found that not until the switch is rotated to "LOW," or maybe even a detent or two after, will the water start to spray. I also found myself having to make minor adjustments in order to hit all spots necessary. I don't know if that's typical, or if this bidet has a smaller stream than normal. Some have reported an issue with the toilet lid closing all the way. I have had no issues myself. Obviously a matter of what type of toilet seat you have. The mounts on the toilet seat aren't pretty, but I'm going to assume that most people don't go into a bathroom wondering what your toilet seat mounts look like. One of my sons has used the bidet. Like clockwork, he uses our master bathroom (where the bidet is installed) instead of his own now, so I'm assuming that can be a positive testament. My wife has yet to use it. Perhaps I'll update once I hear her story. As for my opinion, I'm happy with this purchase and will continue to partake in the joys of anal cleanliness. ***wife edit--- I personally have not used it yet. Judging by my daughter's reaction when the cold stream of water hit her tush at a blast, the look of surprise and a little fear lol I'm not too sure I'm prepared for that. As a side side note, it's a great toy for a 4 year old. I find her cleaning her barbies hair or just closing the lid and letting the water blast that. Fun times.
