Easy Installation, Works as Expected
I first used a bidet while visiting Japan for 6 weeks. I thought they were great, and when I got home I vowed that I would one day upgrade my toilet to a bidet toilet. I then promptly forgot about it until nearly a year later. I did some research into bidet toilets and one look at the price convinced me to try an alternative. The bidet toilet seat attachments seemed the easiest and cheapest way to go, so I found the cheapest one with the highest ratings and bought it.
I used several different types of bidet while in Japan, and while I really liked the ultra-nice ones with the warm water, the seat heaters, the multiple streams, and the little dryers, none of those are really necessary. This simply little bidet does only one thing: shoot out cold water with varying degrees of pressure. And that is all that I really needed. I was worried that the cold water might be uncomfortable, but it doesn't bother me at all. The water pressure is good, I never need to go above "Low".
It was easy to install, though it would have been about 10 times easier if the instructions weren't utterly worthless. The parts it comes with are fairly intuitive to assemble. The only part that really held me up was the little clear hose that connected the bidet to the toilet tank. I assembled the entire thing and was left with that one piece only to find that it was impossible to get on without taking it all apart again. So make sure that hose is connected to the tank attachment before putting the attachment on the tank.
Oh, and when I say easy to install, I am speaking as a woman who has never done any plumbing work in her life - the most I assemble are bookshelves and desks. So, yeah, really easy to install.
Instructions:
1. Connect the clear hose to the toilet tank thingy.
2. Connect the toilet tank thingy to the toilet tank.
3. Remove the toilet seat and reassemble it with the bidet.
4. Connect the clear hose to the bidet.
5. You are done. Test for leaks. It works, yay!
UPDATE 2/21/13: 2 years of use and absolutely no problems!
UPDATE 1/1/15: 4 years of use and all is well!
UPDATE 9/18/19: This bidet got moved to the guest toilet a couple of years ago AND IT STILL WORKS FINE!!
