Cheap assembly, poor build quality

Let me start by purchasing 3 Bio Bidet BB-70 bidets, all in the $20-$30 range. It's a mount that fits under your existing seat (and works great, by the way). All of the hose connectors are metal, and the only complaint I have is that it takes a bit of experimentation to align the nozzle so it hits you squarely. I paid about $70 for this model because my wife was interested in the dual jet feature, so I figured we'd "upgrade" and I could move the old BB-70 to a spare bath. American Standard is a well-known brand, so I had high hopes for it. There was an error. This one will most likely end up in the spare bathroom. Why a little more later. Let's start with the installation and the build quality. All hose connectors are plastic so they are VERY easy to remove when connecting hoses! The seat is soft but made out of cheap thin plastic. I weigh about 220 pounds and find it flexes too much when I sit on it. The lid seems like a smart design as it wraps around the seat and holds any spray from an accidentally turned on nozzle, but if you ever lean on it it'll scratch you around the edges because it's concave, not flat. The installation up to the toilet was very easy and hassle-free. Lighter than any toilet seat ever installed! The paper template made it easy to attach the bracket correctly and the toilet simply snapped into place. However, I will say that I don't have a lot of confidence that a plastic mounting bracket and seat will break over time not just from natural use. That part of the design is great though (but it would be better if it was metal). Now we come to the double nozzle. Both jets are aimed at the same spot. Anyone who thinks that the second nozzle is suitable for the female zone is wrong. The "front" nozzle delivers a softer jet than the rear nozzle. That's all. I don't see how any of these are strong enough to deal with a messy number 2. The front jet is gentle and would probably work for a light jet to cleanse a woman. But on the other hand, it is not directed there! My final comment relates to how he looks physically. and it looks cheap! It looks and feels like a $10 discount store. Most likely I'll put the BB-70 back in the main bathroom. It just works better. It has variable pressure for a more aggressive or less aggressive cleaning. It's a single nozzle but it does the same job as this dual nozzle at no extra cost and I can use my existing toilet seat. Oh, and for less than half the price. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • One button lift function for easier cleaning
Cons
  • Upgrades available
