Review on GoBidet Attachable Bidet System Chrome by Jonathan Fernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you can't find a TP during the coronavirus, this will work just fine.

I had a house in Florida very similar to this one. I've been saying I'll get another one for years, but we know how it goes. Then the coronavirus. I looked at several, including this one on Friday, but didn't order. When I got back to it on Saturday night all the cheap ones were over and I settled on this one. That's what I wanted but I thought the price was a bit high and I still do but, you know, coronavirus. In general, the kit comes with everything. But be careful. The American plumbing market has been anything but homogenous for decades, so how old is the toilet you're planning to put it on? T-piece 7/8 BC (ball valve), so it can only be mounted under the toilet as shown in the picture. Someone complained about the difficulty in putting it on the plastic thread. I see it happening even though it didn't happen to me. There is a guide to install the support bracket through the seat mounting hole. In my case, my screws holding the seat in place were larger in diameter than the rail, so I didn't bother guiding the rail. Stood safe enough. The toilet in the photo is from around 1990 and grey, hence the worn seat (sorry, looks a bit sloppy). The toilet is an early version with low water consumption and a bit odd shape but I was able to adjust it to size. The shifter pulls the atomizer just under the rim as shown in the photo. The water pen works fine but is oddly labeled H and C. There's only one water hookup so I don't know where you're getting hot anyway. Another problem I've encountered (which isn't Gobidet's fault) is that the T and wall valve interfere with each other. I replaced the wall valve with another lower profile quarter turn valve I had on hand. You can see the tee with fitting is just above the wall valve. I got it working, but it's way tighter than you'd like. It was just bad luck. The only negative I can say about the Gobid is that I find the price too high. But in this time of coronavirus I thought I could justify it. Those of you who can't get your hands on toilet paper and have some experience with a wrench can save yourself.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Interchangeable
