As of this review, I have been using this for three weeks. This is my first bidet purchase, and I installed it on an American Standard toilet with an elongated bowl, and slow close lid. My plumbing is standard for Canada. 1️⃣ Installation This quick and easy for me. I did not require any tools, and even though I didn't use the Teflon tape, I have not had any leaks. ( I will go back and apply the tape, I just wanted to test the setup). I did not need to use any of the bumpers provided for the toilet seat, either. Also, the instructions state that if the toilet isn't going to be used for a long period of time that the water source should turned off, I assume to prevent leaks if these parts fail; something to consider if you are not home for extended periods of time. ????Ensuring that the rubber stoppers are in place, and in the correct position is key for ensuring there are no leaks! 2️⃣ Looks & Cleaning It is a different shade of white than my toilet. In my bathroom, the control handle sits closest to the wall and is generally protected from accidents (weight being applied, things dropped on it). Also, it does add more crevices for toilet gunk to hide; bathroom fuzzies and loose hairs that accumulate on toilets. Something to consider if you are planning on installing this is a high volume washroom. ????If your bathroom has very tight spaces around the toilet, make sure you will have room for this. ????If your exports look like chocolate bomb exploded in the bowl where the bidet will be sitting, consider how much extra cleaning this will involve and if your household members will actually keep this up. 3️⃣ The Spray I read a review about bidets before that mentioned "blowing your anus right off" and damn, if that isn't the truth! I find you have to wait a second after turning the dial for water pressure to build up enough to open the nozzle. For example, if the pressure was 1 to 5; turn it to 1 until water starts coming out, and then to your desired setting. In one of my attached photos, I've drawn red lines to indicate the max that I've gone to. I am in Canada, it is winter, and I've hooked into the cold water toilet line. A quick blast from the bidet isn't too bad, but if you dial up too much, or for too long, it is basically like waterboarding your orfices with ice water, and you may leave the washroom feeling violated. This bidet has a bum wash and a femine wash. The nozzles are in the same spot, but just seem to have a different spray setting. If we're comparing to garden hoses, think 'full' for bums, and 'jet' for the femine wash (Yikes). The angle is just slightly different, but I find myself trying to shuffle around to make sure my bits get a rinse which sometimes leads to water somehow spraying back onto the seat and lid. This could be because I usually perch closer to the end away from the tank. I can assume that if a male hit the 'feminine wash' by mistake, that you might hear crying coming from the washroom. Probably the most important bit of information in here is that this bidet has been surprisingly effective at rinsing away all exports. I just use a small wash cloth to dry off any whizzels, keeping g a lot of toilet paper from entering my septic system. As for deuces, I still use a bit of toilet paper, but I have yet to see any evidence of exports on the TP even if I had consumed an expired family size bagged salad kit the day before. ????When you dialing the spray, WAIT a second for the water pressure to build enough to open the nozzle, THEN dial up the pressure! ????The 'feminine wash' is um...aggressive. Consider making a simple instruction/warning sign for house guests in case they are brave enough to try it out. ????This bidet is effective at rinsing away exports. I'm saving on TP, and giving my septic system a break. A pack of baby wash clothes from the dollar store work great for drying off the pieces. 4️⃣ Final Verdict I am happy I bought this, and would buy again. I don't see myself buying anything fancier than this in the future because this one is doing what I need it to; clean my pieces, and reduce TP consumption. As a female, I am glad I have the option for femine wash. Hope this review helps!
