Review on πŸ’¦ Astor CB-1000 Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment - Fresh Water Spray, Non-Electric Mechanical Upgrade by Patrick Nepal

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Much lower quality than the Luxe, not worth the savings

I have previously installed 2 Luxe Bidet Neo 185 (Elite Series) - Self cleaning dual nozzle - Non electric mechanical fresh water toilet bidet with strong tap valves and metal hoses ( blue and white) - 2 sets per pack. Each lasted a few minutes. Not so with Astor. I figured I could save some money by buying this instead of another Luxe, but all the time and effort trying to install this wasn't worth it. Parts are just inferior. The first major drawback is the rubber hose that connects the bidet. to the T-adapter. It just kept leaking out no matter how much I pushed things together. (Unlike the Luxe, which has an actual metal hose connecting the bidet to the tee). The second major disadvantage was that the tee does not have a flexible nut (?) Lux. As mentioned, this makes aligning the hose with the bidet tricky and you may have to take the whole thing apart again to get everything lined up correctly. No matter how hard I tried to screw it tightly into the toilet tank hose, it also turned out to be leaking. surprisingly strong and a perfect fit while the Luxe had it. After all, the Astor dials just look cheaper and perform cheaper than the Luxe.) Anyway, all that fuss for an hour and a half resulted in me having to replace my fill key. valve because I was trying so hard to screw everything up and fix those leaks (which never happened) that I ended up loosening the hose to the inflation valve and trying to keep the hose stable but the inflation valve was shut in place keep the end like - break something. I finally gave in and bought another Luxe for this bathroom, which again took AMAZING under 10 minutes. I want to return this item but it turns out I was so pissed off trying to install it that I already threw away the useless T-adapter. Well, good liberation; I wouldn't want anyone else using it anyway, even at a discount. I'm glad many others found this bidet much easier to install, but maybe I was just unlucky. *shrugs* Forever Luxe for me.

Pros
  • Nice to use
