So, I've had an attraction/disgust relationship with the idea of a bidet for some time and when the opportunity arose to try it out at a very reasonable price, I decided to give him a chance. Worst case I'll throw it away and end up with a funny story to scare my grandkids if I ever have grandkids. The device arrived intact and I went through the installation process. I had a rigid hose going from the corner valve to the toilet and couldn't figure out how to fit an extra fitting in between without cutting or bending the service line and possibly pinching it in the process, so I bought a replacement flexible service line. Added a few bucks to the cost but oh well. Installation took about 45 minutes. (I'm slow and had to keep going from the 2nd floor down to the basement for extra tools.) The hardest part was attaching the included clear plastic hose to the service fitting and bidet inlet. I found that a cup of hot water helped a lot - dip the end of the hose in water, wait a few minutes for it to soften, place on the fitting and screw the connector in place. bam! Did. Stupid of me, when everything was assembled, I told myself to open this valve and make the water come out. It came out fine! Slap me straight in the face! Made a mess on the walls and floor so I could dry myself with a towel. But I think I proved that the water came out when you opened the valve and stopped when you closed it again. happened, I slowly reached for that little valve and carefully opened fire. WOO-HOO-HOOOOOOOOO, that was a blast! Get the guy right off the seat! And I could only set 3 out of 5 or so. Played around with the deflector arm a bit to get it in the right position and after a few seconds I turned it off and got ready to file the paperwork. A bundle of wet wipes dried everything and I was sparkling clean and ready to go. Well, clean, at certain purity levels, I guess. Cold water is not an antiseptic or disinfectant. But cleaner than I would be with just paper. My wife is reluctant to make this purchase and I don't blame her as I was there not long ago but I don't mind - I think the opportunity to just try it and see if it improves my quality of life, is it worth the nominal investment. If he saves himself wiping napkins - and he definitely does - he pays for itself in no time! If the device lasts at least a year, it's worth its face value, and then I can decide whether to buy a more stylish device with all the bells and whistles. But Hyrum, what about cold water? Isn't that uncomfortable? I thought it might be, but to be honest, no. Apparently, the bottom does not have as many temperature-sensitive nerve endings as on the hands or face. The hot water option might be good, but then there's the question of how to get it warm, how to get it warm enough before actually shooting your ass, how to keep it from getting *too* hot. There is a bidet with a hot water option so obviously someone has come up with a solution, but I'm here to tell you I don't find cold water particularly bothersome, although I've been shopping I think it might. Well, there are a few minor issues with the device, but really nothing to lose a full star for. It slightly changes the geometry of the seat. This makes cleaning the toilet a bit more difficult. During installation he unexpectedly twisted my fill valve which caused the toilet to not stop filling after flushing until I realized what had happened and turned it back on. And the plastic supply hose was too long and needed to be cut, but it wasn't sized and cut in the instructions and it was hard enough to attach to the fittings, I won't try to take it off now, cut it and put it back in place. And perhaps the biggest problem is that there is no lock that requires the plunger to be on the bowl before the water flows. This means that you should keep nimble children and pets away from it. (You might want to discourage your older kids from doing this as well, unless you want to explain to them why you think having a jet of cold water shot at you is a great idea, oops.) But like I said, none of them individually, overall not really the level of hassle needed to deliver a one star product. I installed it on a Friday morning when I had a day off and used it all weekend. Then on Monday when I was at work I had to use the company toilet and was sad that I wasn't home so I could use my Greenco Power washing machine. Greenko made me a convert.
