Review on RinseWorks Hand Held Certified Warranty Extension by Omar Austin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Enjoy After Go! I'm not a fan of bidets but I like it.

If I had written this review when I first used the bidet I would have given it two stars but now I love it. When I first used the bidet I had trouble adjusting the pressure with the dial that pushes water through the handle. This made me and the toilet seat wet. Once I learned to turn the regulator from 1/8 to 1/4 only at full power, everything was perfect. So expect a learning curve before this product behaves the way you want it to. I paid a little more money for the commercial class and I think it was worth it. This thing feels solid - like a well-made tool or a professional-grade dental tool. The valve that attaches to the bottom of the cistern is metal, which gives me a much better feel as it retains full pressure when it's off. We turn it off after each use as its handpiece is not designed to hold pressure all the time, despite being as strong as a toilet tank valve. The hose is also durable - unlike the plastic-wrapped aluminum spiral hose you may be familiar with from handheld showerheads, which will always leak if it gets pinched. Instead, it's heavy and metallic. I've read that some people use these bidets to flush cloth diapers down the toilet and clean the toilet themselves. Once you get a feel for how much pressure this bidet can generate, you can easily imagine it being used for that purpose. I've never used a toilet bidet, but I've read that they can tip you forward at an awkward angle because of the addition of the thick 'mechanics' under the seat needed to power the bidet nozzle. I've also read that they make it harder to keep the toilet clean - a statement that makes sense to me as the larger surface area gives more nooks and crannies for germs and dirt to hide. This bidet eliminates these problems as nothing is attached to the toilet. Some might say that the toilet seat style is a bonus because the jets are always in place and at the right angle. I think the jets in the bowl will be difficult to keep reliably clean, and if the jets are even slightly misaligned then the whole apparatus is useless. With a little practice, this product's handstick will always be perfectly aligned and easy to keep clean. As you may have read in other reviews, once you've used the bidet, you won't want to rely solely on toilet paper. The bidet is a much more comfortable and hygienic experience and my toilet paper use has been reduced by around 80% - good for the environment, my wallet and it gives me peace of mind in the event of future problems in the TP supply chain! It was also very easy to install. It took me about 10 minutes. I thought long and hard about this purchase because I just couldn't picture myself as a bidet, but my wife wanted it, so I got her one as a surprise. We both love it now.
