I'm 67 and don't MOVE like I use to- can't BEND around much-- so I NEED one of these and you've done the RESEARCH for me... THANK YOU.. Great reveiw!!!
One of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen. The information is thorough, and FOR ONCE the presenter doesn’t try to hold the camera with one hand and demonstrate with the other while we get a shot of the ceiling. Well done!
In Southeast Asian most toilets have bum guns which is very similar to the spray hose attached to sinks. They are the best and cheapest because you direct the spray exactly where you want and no need to change toilet seat. There’s a holster attached to the tank it sits in when not in use. I bought mine on Amazon for less than $20 if my memory serves me.
The spray hose thing you are talking about works pretty good for the most part. The correct angle is to aim the spray so that the spray "wipes" you as it moves up your (butt crack ) from bottom to top. You don't aim directly at your butt. Think of your butt cheeks as two adjoining mountains. Now think of the water as an airplane flying low between the mountains, so low that it's scraping the ground. Now I think you understand the mechanics of it. But I don't recommend the spray hose bidet for larger people. If you are more than about 80KG, you won't like the spray hose bidet. It's OK for Asia where a lot of people are small. The problem with the spray hose is that for larger people to aim it right....they have to bend too far over. It can be difficult to both reach far enough AND activate the sprayer. If you hold the gun by the bottom, you can reach far enough to get the proper angle. But then the button to activate the sprayer is near the top of the gun, which is a catch-22 situation. Either you can get the proper angle, OR you can trigger the spray, but you can't do both at the same time. This is only a problem for Western size folks about 100KG or larger. But also, depending on how the spray hose bidet is made, it can be difficult for small people to use it. My girlfriend is 48KG and she had a problem using the spray hose bidet at our hotel as (ironically) the hose was very high-end/sturdy and therefore hard to aim properly. Overall, the bidet attachments that allow you to sit on the toilet while they spray you from underneath work better for all people, regardless of size or physical condition. In my experience anyway. I have used the hose spray type, but it's hard for me to do as I am too large.
I have the LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus, which has the femme wash nozzle. The "panel too big" isn't a con for me as it makes the knobs easy to switch while in use. I looked at several models w/femme wash and specifically chose this model because of the larger control panel and the lift feature. It also comes with some blocks that stick to the underside of the seat and I found that I had to put the larger blocks close to the seat's rear supports as they were lifted off the bowl with the seat down (the front supports didn't need them as they sat on the bowl).
❤ Excellent professional presentation on the bidets. My home has three toilets and 5 years ago I chose the Brondell Bidet for all three bathrooms and never looked back as they are excellent.😊
I have the electric Bio Bidet BB1000 with the remote which is a great option. Because, it is electric one of the other perks is the WARM WATER:) spray which also helps me with my sciatic nerve issue. The Vortex mode is another perk especially for constipation. It also has the Feminine, Posterior modes, move, massage and of course the dry air fan. For me, it's a quality of life issue I couldn't live without and a real game changer. Best of Luck
I bought my first bidet during covid. I love it... I don't buy toilet paper anymore. I use wash clothes to dry off and then I put it in a plastic pan by the toilet. This bidet cost about $50.00 from Amazon. I bought 2 more from Target for about $50.00 for my other toilets. Will never go back to TP! I don't need 2 sprays... just move around a little.
I bought a bidet attachment for $5 on clearance regular price $25. I figured that, if I didn't like it, I'd only be out $5. I don't know how I lived without it. It's so nice patting my bum dry with a couple of squares of toilet paper instead of wiping and wiping and wiping.

I have the brondell but with the warm water as well it's amazing best purchase ever made I had the hot water hooked up but it started leaking so just took it off doesn't make any difference imo. To anyone on the fence about one just do it do it now. Just be warned you will hate "going" anywhere but home
We've had bidets for years and the adjustable nozzle is the best feature you can have. It allows the spray to back and forth as needed so it doesn't need two nozzles and with the two nozzles if it doesn't hit you where you want it you are out of luck. BTW, that part of your body does not react to cold water so don't even consider a warmer.!

I had an add on bidet many years ago. The weak point was the plastic fittings which didn't last very long as they are under constant water pressure from the supply line. I came home to a small flood in the bathroom. I then bought a travel bidet which is nothing more than a squeeze bottle with a long screw on spray. I can't even remember when I bought it but use it daily.
i found one on and endcap at walmart marked down to 20 bucks! got my brother to install it. we have cold well water so that was a blast....... but i will never go back to just tp by itself..
The angle-changing feature of the Tushy seems like a game-changer. I have had a Luxe for the last 2-3 years and have been pretty happy with it ( I really miss it when traveling), but I always wished I could change the angle of the nozzle slightly. Also, YMMV with the "self-cleaning" feature of these things. I found that an unsightly hard-water or lime staining eventually accumulates which is very hard to clean off. Hidden behind the panel in the Luxe's case, but still. New users should be aware that bidets won't replace toilet paper entirely, but will greatly cut down on the amount used and make it much easier to clean yourself. No more of the "endless wiping" that sometimes occurs.
@@JaRW7 The Tushy has the ability to use warm water if you have access to a warm water tap. It took me like 2 uses to become a habit and I am sad every time i travel, honestly trying to find a good travel solution because its sooooo much better
I have a Luxe also. I just wanted something to test out having a bidet. My biggest problem is having to get those extra thick seat spacers. It's pretty nice and I too miss it while traveling. I bought one of those portable hand squeezing bidet things but it was too much trouble and didn't do much. So now I just do my business in the morning. Clean with paper like a barbarian and then take a shower.
“Sometimes when I wipe, I’ll wipe and I’ll wipe and I’ll wipe and I’ll wipe…100 times…still..poop…still poop. It’s like I’m wiping a marker or something . “
The Brondell attaches to hot and cold water. What I like is turning the knob starts the flow to clean but also brings it to temperature at the same time
I just thought it was he realized a clear bottom bowl was would show the spray angle better. But then he went back to a solid bowl for the second to last one.
For me its about internal hardware being used. We've had our Luxe for 3 years and no issues. But Im here becuz its time to replace. Cheap hardware used spells disaster. Great video and reviews.
Great video. Appreciated the pros and cons you provided for each bidet. I just bought and installed the Brondell CL99 bidet and truly love it. Got it on sale at Costco. Very easy installation. I recommend it.
I really liked your comparison. I have thought of one, especially for my adult son with special needs. These are non-electric, I didn't know this was an option. Awesome job! I like the whole seat one you showed the best, it has a better self cleaning.
The only downside to the non-electric is they use the cold water. Warm water does a much better job at cleaning and, depending on where you live, your cold water may be really cold. An option with the non-electric is hooking them up to the Hot water side instead if your hot water isn't set too high.
@@MojoPupthe brondell model has another version that you can hook up both hot and cold water connections and it has a temperature balancing switch for you to make it hotter or colder. Plus you can leave on the self cleaning feature when it starts and disperse the cold water in the pipes until the water warms up 👍
@@crash4dafun The temp's fine, it heats up quick. I'm not somewhere that I could connect lines from under the sink, had to use the cold toilet supply line. It's the water pressure that I would like a little stronger. End up having to run it several times to get clean
I have six of thesein my two homes. Some are cold like these, and some give warm water, and ass drying features. The cold ones are fine, but the warm ones, around $250 are luxury. I also have a battery handheld one for traveling. Once you go bidet, you never go back.

I had a Luxe bidet and they little splatter shield fell off without me noticing. By the time I noticed, I had already flushed it and it had clogged up the toilet / sewer line requiring an expensive plumber visit. Luxe is too expensive for too few features and the shield can fall off without you noticing.
Brondell also has a version that hooks up to a warm water supply if you have one nearby, which is what I went with. It's not instantly warm, but it gets there very quickly, if you run your sink until the water is hot.
I have the Tushy Spa 3.0 because I wanted warm water. I have gastro issues & using the bidet has been so helpful. I’ve only had the Tushy since January, but i am thinking I might go for a higher end toilet seat bidet & move the Tushy to the other bathroom. I also love the name Tushy.
personally out of all of these i would choose the neo 120, preferably the plus version. i really like the 360 cleaning. and it has a very large protective guard, very useful if you have boys (or some adult males) that have poor aiming skills with their joystick. i would've picked the brondell too but the nozzle sticks out too far, potentially getting dirty with poopie water. the neo 120 doesn't stick out that much.
Glad I bought Toto integrated bidet seats. They do need a GFI outlet installed, but we’re a cinch to install physically. And the have a seat weight interlock.
Toto for sale here at Costco, $400. Our BioBidet 6800 has a gradually cracking seat, likely soon to be unusable; not well suited to our (Kohler, ca. 1998, elongated) bowl as its support block hang over; they are WAY too small. Bad engineering in my humble, an easily foreseeable problem that should have been solved before releasing for sale. How hard would it have been to simply make the blocks LARGER, with more contact area? I feel like a beta tester.
I have the Tushy bidet and I have an round toilet and a Kohler toilet seat which the screws that came with the bidet have rusted. So i bought some at Homedepot only to find out it wouldnt fit my seat and the large profile on the Tushy bidet so I had to find the parts for my Kohler toilet seat online. What I dont like about mine is that the profile between the seat and the back base of the toilet is think and cleàning the back area where it screws to the toilet and seat takes up all the space making it very difficult to clean so Im left to remove the seat and bidet in order to sanitize it. Otherwise it works well and having the nozzle tilt is great because depending on your toilet and personal needs its helpful. Im interested in the last one.
I stepped up and bought the best ( at least it was the best Bondell amazon had it was $580 including Washington tax I LOVE IT It plugs in to 120 volt 15 amp draw the amount of water it sprays is heated on demand It has many settings some for pressure some for location a male and female option a base position for center of the oscillations a heated seat a lighted bowl and a heated air dryer all with a pushbutton wireless remote control also has an exhaust fan that uses activated charcoal Don't know if you could ever improve on it I figure 2 or 3 years of toilet paper will about pay for it ( not just the toilet paper store cost but I expect the septic tank will take a lot longer to fill up without all that paper )
I had a Brondell (with the added hot water line attachment) and have to point out that the controls are not labelled for a sitting position. You basically have to memorize what they do, or through trial and error. Not so hard, but might be difficult for guests. I had to replace mine because the plastic knob on the brass fitting cracked. Kind of a cheap design flaw, IMO. I replaced with two others (I have three commodes) and they seem fine. I don't miss the warm water (which you have to wait for to warm up). Cold is fine. Soothing and refreshing, even.
I've got the Samodra one. Best $40 I ever spent from Amazon. I did find though that the front wash hits the bum better and the bum wash hits the front better so I just turn the handle opposite to how it is directed.
Our LivingBasic with hot and cold is superior other than the difficulty of mounting. The seat needed legs to not sit crooked or put undue pressure on unit above the nozzles. It was only $55 too. Love the sign, we gotta steal that idea LOL
I installed the first one about two yrs ago, because it was cheap I didn't expect it to last but have had no problem with it at all, it is only a cold water one but you soon get used to it even in winter and to be honest I would never ever go back to using just toilet paper and you really do feel so much cleaner just by using the bidet, no more personal lingering smell and no skiddie underwear, would recommend 100%.
I've been using the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 since 2016. I've just replaced it for the 3rd time, but I've only ever replaced it because the seat broke. The bidet is $30 so I might as well replace it when installing a fresh new seat.
I ordered and installed by myself (super duper easy) a bidet. Toto is the industry standard. 2 years later, still loving it! Here is what I ordered: Toto SW2043R#01 C200. Watee Temperature control for 2 users, as well as pressure control. Heated seat. Self cleaning. Must be near a power source. I am supremely happy with my purchase!
@Mike Dunn Yes. A cold water blast would be most unpleasant. It also has a pressure control as well. One of the best purchases I've made in many years 👍
I have that Brondel Bidet first but it leak after 1 year. I replaced it with Kohler K5724, I think Kohler seat is the most comfortable of the bunch, robust construction. I have it since 2016 it never break down, no leak, easy to clean. The add on Bidet to a toilet seat is very uncomfortable, makes existing toilet seat not balance, hard to clean.
Bought 2 Kohler exactly like the Brondel shown, one leaks when using the fem mode, shoots water all under the seat. The other still works but does not self clean. I expected better from Kohler, they been making toilets for a long time.
All of those cheap bidets will leak, mine started leaking after only a week. That's the problem with those bidets, to save them to last longer, you should install a separate shut-off handle that you have to separately turn the water on/off to the bidet itself.. kind of a pain!
I used one of these until I changed to seat to extended, about 3” higher. My only problem was using the feminine clean, the water went under the front of the seat between the seat and bowl. I used a home made shield, that I kept close at hand. All in the past☹️
Lol, I like and bought the one around your neck. The water pressure on these things looks like you can do some real damage especially on the first one or two times you use them. The hand one (the one around your neck) let's you do cleanup of yourself from unlimited angles, but you can also do diaper cleanup over the toilet and clean the toilet itself. It makes all the other bidets feel very limited. The big drawback is you do have to be agile enough to reach back there for an older person. That may be a deal breaker. But you don't have to actually reach that far as you do to do a wipe so it isn't that bad. If you are taking care of an elderly parent, the hand bidet is like a baby shower head and is a life and embarrassment saver for both you and your careee :) Plus the water cable is the same as a shower cable so the shower was close enough for me to put 2 cable together and get warm water for my parent. For me, the cold wasn't that bad, but I don't live up north. I like to joke and say " I have the cleanest a$$ in town lol. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
The pressure isn't strong enough to 'do damage'. I hate the hand ones, hard to really clean especially if you have the smaller round toilets, there just isn't enough room unless you stand up and then you end up making a mess around the toilet...no thanks.
Installed a Luxe 185 Deluxe a few months ago. Great addition to the loo... Couple of points though. First, the cold water isn't a big deal, at least for the back side, for the "front" wash, I can't speak to that.. 2nd, many of these are quite thick and will raise the front of the toilet seat off the rim. Probably depends on what type seat you have. 3rd and most important (for us anyway) is the bowl shape. The Luxe is best used for an oval bowl, you really have to scoot forward if it's mounted on a round bowl. Due to clearance issues you sometimes have to use a round instead of an oblong bowl. I'm looking to add one to our main bathroom, this helped narrow down the options.
Got a bit of an update. The Kohler seat broke, it's a Kohler Cimarron toilet. I hated the seat from the start, all plastic hinges that were wobbly out of the box. Damn thing shifted around and had that constant plastic creaking. I replaced it with a Bemis round lid with brushed nickle soft close hinges. Virtually no wobble. It also allows the Luxe to shift back far enough to "hit the right spot". Another benefit is the hinge doesn't bind, allowing the front bumpers to hit the rim instead of floating i above it. No more worry about the thickness of the Luxe.
Good video, good enthusiasm. Although - very Americanized. That's not a bad thing, just a comment and here's what I mean - After having lived in multiple countries in Europe and Asia, where every single toilet has a water system, including sometimes all the porto potties (😮) the preferred way to go with bidets the handheld bum-gun style. This allows for more pressure at various angles and is much more personalized for each user. Once you get the hang of moving your hand around with the water stream, there's no going back. Many people think they are the cheaper, more economical option, but the opposite is actually true once you get into the higher end and better built models. You should do another video on the bum gun style bidets. Stainless steel models from Italy are currently the best made in my opinion.
Have had the Tushy since the beginning of Covid 19, it works great, easy to clean. I've never adjusted the nozzle so I can't say that feature is a plus, but might be because I'm a guy?
I ran a bidet attachment for about 5 years, but they are just too hard to keep clean. Switched to the wand and I'm just as happy with it. I'd really prefer a simple bidet built into a toilet seat without making the hole smaller.
You didn't mention that the controls for the Brondell are not that easy to see once you're sitting on the toilet so you have to remember how to use it (which way to turn the knob).
Thank you for doing the research for me! I will use your links when I purchase. Wishing more subscribers for you. I hit that button and look forward to your next project. 🇨🇦💕
Great review video, better than most. I have a Brondel Heated model and the only con I have is that I wish it was a little stronger. But I love the heated feature. Only downside that I can't change is that we have a 'Round' toilet (apt, can't change out) and the rear section of the Brondel takes up a bit of space.
What nobody’s talking about is that the plastic part that touches the toilet breaks. And the plastic cable that delivers water to nozzles breaks with it too and leaks.
Yeah, there are bidets that offer warm water. The only problem is those require you to have a GIF outlet next to your toilet and very few bathrooms have those. They are tend to be much more expensive.
Since the water is standing for few hours in the pipes of your house or apartment, the water coming out of the bidet is not that cold, simply lukewarm. I was worried about this but, to my surprise, it is kind of refreshing and very acceptable (and I do live in a very cold part of the country).
I have a bidet with a warm water hookup to the sink but most times the water comes out cool, pretty much like how @maudithiver says. However, if you were to run hot water from the sink or shower before turning on the bidet, you might accidently burn your bootyhole if you forget where you set the temperature settings.
where in Canada? Cause in the dead of Winter, some places basically have no snow and if they do, it's gone the next day, then there are other places where it's so cold that if you spit, it turns to ice before hitting your gloves! I live in mid-northern Ontario, Canada where the tap water is colder than refrigerated water! But I understand that the cold water might be lukewarm if it hasn't been turned on for a while and gets warmer as it sits inside the house in the pipes...
Unfortunately you are not showing the various connectors to the bottom of the toilet tank's water valve. My old Veken bidet has a metal connector that is not a 'solid' one piece connector and this is a problem. It presents a problem in tightening the connector properly in order to get a good seal. You should take the time and show the parts that come with each bidet.
There are other videos (really good ones) on youtube that do a thorough job of demonstrating the installation of these bidet seat attachment things. As far as installation goes, they are all pretty much identical. You screw an adapter to the bottom of the toilet tank. On that you connect the water supply line from the bathroom wall. On that you also attach a small hose to divert some water to the bidet itself. For some bidets, the water line is not pre-installed on the bidet side. For those, you need to finish the water connection by attaching the small hose to the bidet. Now you are ready to set the bidet attachment in place on the top of the toilet bowl, then set your toilet seat down and use the toilet seat bolts to hold both the bidet attachment and the seat. After you've done it once or twice, and regardless of brand/model....this is a 10 minute job that usually doesn't require tools. SOME toilet seats have bolts that you need a screwdriver for, but most have large nuts that you can both loosen and tighten with your hand. Same for all the water connections. If you are strong, you won't need tools to make the water connection as hand-tight is water tight. If you aren't strong, then a large adjustable pliers can firm it up. But be careful of over-torque as the main water connections are mostly plastic.
Been looking for someone who actually tested it, all ones watched before you I was like dang just put a bowl there an test it so we can see cause ya know I dont want one that has so much pressure it gives me a new bumhole😊😂 but seriously my grandson hates way toliet paper feels so he uses a ton of wipes so I am looking for him def need adjustable to hard would hurt. I didnt notice the two you said didnt look like they have a protective guard, I will go do that research. But thanks for showing us the whole waterworks 💦 not just the install. Those vids drive me nuts, its like there you have it ok now lets see it actually work.
I have some that have a flat controller on toilets in my vacation rental property. People have placed burning cigarettes on them and damaged the surface. So the rounded handle one is best for that location.
Should have been a 15 minute job. Installing one of these took me two days and a trip to hardware store just to remove/reattach the supply line. Not enough space between the toilet and the counter for channel locks or a wrench to turn and a nut that was too large for my biggest adjustable wrench. I ended up having to go after it with vice grips, turning maybe 10 degrees at a time.
😊❤well done. Soooooooo, questions: Doesn't the water squirt everywhere, including coming out between the seat and the bowl? And now you are dropping wet.. regular TP will shred, and without soap, I would hate to use a towel. What is proper edicate?
The water doesn't squirt everywhere because the spray is surprisingly accurate. If you can't adjust the aim like in one of the models reviewed, you may have to adjust a bit, but plunking down in the sweet spot is easy enough. Cheap TP may shred, but with how much TP you save you'll be able to justify the Quilted Northern.
Three weeks ago I installed the first bidet in this video. (My wife came back from a visit to our son and she said it was wonderful thing she discovered there.) I don’t know how the heck the engineers did it but the water spray is incredibly precise. And I was afraid the water would feel cold, but it turns out since the spray is so precise my butt doesn’t actually get wet, and surprisingly (to me) the rectum (sorry to be indelicate) evidently is not as sensitive to temperature as the skin on your body. The more you turn the knob the harder the spray is. And the spray is so precise that you could give your self an enema if you wanted to turn it up to full force. Obviously I don’t have lady parts but my wife says the spray for that is just as precise as the other spray. I give the device such a 100% thumb’s up that I’m sending one to my 87 year old parents. If you do get the Samodra like we did, it took about 15 minutes to install instead of 10 because I was a dummy and forgot to install the toilet seat back on top of the Samodra. So I had to unscrew the nuts and remove the two bolts and essentially do the installation a second time. My point is it’s that easy and simple to install. You could do it twice in fifteen minutes.
I've had a Brondell SS-150 for over 4 years now, and it's still going strong. It's similar to the Samodora, but it doesn't have the feminine nozzle. Edit: there is a SS-250 available that does have the second nozzle. :)
I bought the Brondell; it works wonderfully. However, after 1 year and 1 week, the on/off knob broke (out of warranty). For some reason, the water wouldn't turn off at the wall, so ended up having to turn off water to the house. Plumber on a Sunday and every towel in the house later, Brondell informed us there isn't a replacement part; we would have to purchase another complete set.
We install3d the very simple hand held bidet. I like it because its multi-functional. You can clean out sick-room bowls, buckets and everything in between. You can get rid of accidents in underwear as well as re-useable nappies, if someone has been sick on their clothes everything sprays orr so easily. I also like it because You need to show a person how to use it. Its seperate from the toilet so there is no cleaning issues. I use it far more than my husband having feminine issues. It's definitely a marvel if you have constant issues with loose bowels, there is not more sore butts. We fitted it during C19 when toilet paper was in sort supply. Never again will I have anxiety of not being able to buy toilet paoer again. The Pro side is it is cheap. The Con is it just uses cold water which I think all 5 shown here only use cold water. For us that's not an issue as we live in the tropics.
I was thinking of one of those. You're talking about the hose with nozzle? Do you have cases where it sprays all over the room? Also does the toilet ever fill up with too much water? Thanks in advance:)
I have one on my toilet which has 2 hoses for warm water. I live in Canada and winter time water is very cold. Would not recommend one without dual hookup.
I know this is probably beyond too personal, but I have a hygiene question about bidets in general. You ARE suppose to use your hand and soap after a starting rinse, correct? I don’t see how just a rinse will actually leave one clean
You also want to keep in mind that a lot of these products do not come with backflow protection which is required in some jurisdictions. These devices ensure that contaminated water doesn't flow back into the mains water. Check your local plumbing laws before purchasing one of these devices!

In Southeast Asian most toilets have bum guns which is very similar to the spray hose attached to sinks. They are the best and cheapest because you direct the spray exactly where you want and no need to change toilet seat. There’s a holster attached to the tank it sits in when not in use. I bought mine on Amazon for less than $20 if my memory serves me.
I was thinking of getting spray hose, but still trying to figure out the hand movement.
this perplexes me as I can't picture it
😂
The spray hose thing you are talking about works pretty good for the most part. The correct angle is to aim the spray so that the spray "wipes" you as it moves up your (butt crack ) from bottom to top. You don't aim directly at your butt. Think of your butt cheeks as two adjoining mountains. Now think of the water as an airplane flying low between the mountains, so low that it's scraping the ground. Now I think you understand the mechanics of it. But I don't recommend the spray hose bidet for larger people. If you are more than about 80KG, you won't like the spray hose bidet. It's OK for Asia where a lot of people are small. The problem with the spray hose is that for larger people to aim it right....they have to bend too far over. It can be difficult to both reach far enough AND activate the sprayer. If you hold the gun by the bottom, you can reach far enough to get the proper angle. But then the button to activate the sprayer is near the top of the gun, which is a catch-22 situation. Either you can get the proper angle, OR you can trigger the spray, but you can't do both at the same time. This is only a problem for Western size folks about 100KG or larger. But also, depending on how the spray hose bidet is made, it can be difficult for small people to use it. My girlfriend is 48KG and she had a problem using the spray hose bidet at our hotel as (ironically) the hose was very high-end/sturdy and therefore hard to aim properly. Overall, the bidet attachments that allow you to sit on the toilet while they spray you from underneath work better for all people, regardless of size or physical condition. In my experience anyway. I have used the hose spray type, but it's hard for me to do as I am too large.
I have the LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus, which has the femme wash nozzle. The "panel too big" isn't a con for me as it makes the knobs easy to switch while in use. I looked at several models w/femme wash and specifically chose this model because of the larger control panel and the lift feature. It also comes with some blocks that stick to the underside of the seat and I found that I had to put the larger blocks close to the seat's rear supports as they were lifted off the bowl with the seat down (the front supports didn't need them as they sat on the bowl).
❤ Excellent professional presentation on the bidets. My home has three toilets and 5 years ago I chose the Brondell Bidet for all three bathrooms and never looked back as they are excellent.😊
I have the electric Bio Bidet BB1000 with the remote which is a great option. Because, it is electric one of the other perks is the WARM WATER:) spray which also helps me with my sciatic nerve issue. The Vortex mode is another perk especially for constipation. It also has the Feminine, Posterior modes, move, massage and of course the dry air fan. For me, it's a quality of life issue I couldn't live without and a real game changer. Best of Luck
I bought my first bidet during covid. I love it... I don't buy toilet paper anymore. I use wash clothes to dry off and then I put it in a plastic pan by the toilet. This bidet cost about $50.00 from Amazon. I bought 2 more from Target for about $50.00 for my other toilets. Will never go back to TP! I don't need 2 sprays... just move around a little.
I bought a bidet attachment for $5 on clearance regular price $25. I figured that, if I didn't like it, I'd only be out $5. I don't know how I lived without it. It's so nice patting my bum dry with a couple of squares of toilet paper instead of wiping and wiping and wiping.
And then tearing through and getting shit on your fingers.

@@MyVanir lmfao
lol, thats what i just did, i was at walamart and they were on sell for 6 bucks today, i was like for 6 bucks why not
I have the brondell but with the warm water as well it's amazing best purchase ever made I had the hot water hooked up but it started leaking so just took it off doesn't make any difference imo. To anyone on the fence about one just do it do it now. Just be warned you will hate "going" anywhere but home
theres handheld bidets
We've had bidets for years and the adjustable nozzle is the best feature you can have. It allows the spray to back and forth as needed so it doesn't need two nozzles and with the two nozzles if it doesn't hit you where you want it you are out of luck. BTW, that part of your body does not react to cold water so don't even consider a warmer.!
I was wondering if it was worth getting the one that warms up the water!! Thank you for this.
I have one like the first one. Easy to wipe clean the control. Look for one with minimal cracks and folds to trap dirt
Good point!

I had an add on bidet many years ago. The weak point was the plastic fittings which didn't last very long as they are under constant water pressure from the supply line. I came home to a small flood in the bathroom.
I then bought a travel bidet which is nothing more than a squeeze bottle with a long screw on spray. I can't even remember when I bought it but use it daily.
damn for real ? thinking of getting one , which brand you using ?
@@sdqsdq6274 this was many years ago. Maybe they got better since?
@@2-old-Forthischetwould you think about buying a new one now because of newer technology?
you need ones with taps, that cut off the water supply like a tap.
What brand did you use. I’m very interested in this
i found one on and endcap at walmart marked down to 20 bucks! got my brother to install it. we have cold well water so that was a blast....... but i will never go back to just tp by itself..
The angle-changing feature of the Tushy seems like a game-changer. I have had a Luxe for the last 2-3 years and have been pretty happy with it ( I really miss it when traveling), but I always wished I could change the angle of the nozzle slightly. Also, YMMV with the "self-cleaning" feature of these things. I found that an unsightly hard-water or lime staining eventually accumulates which is very hard to clean off. Hidden behind the panel in the Luxe's case, but still.
New users should be aware that bidets won't replace toilet paper entirely, but will greatly cut down on the amount used and make it much easier to clean yourself. No more of the "endless wiping" that sometimes occurs.
A couple of questions as a soon-to-be adopter: Is it cold and how long does it take for it to become a habit?
@@JaRW7 The Tushy has the ability to use warm water if you have access to a warm water tap. It took me like 2 uses to become a habit and I am sad every time i travel, honestly trying to find a good travel solution because its sooooo much better
@@JaRW7 You don't notice the temperature.
I have a Luxe also. I just wanted something to test out having a bidet. My biggest problem is having to get those extra thick seat spacers. It's pretty nice and I too miss it while traveling.
I bought one of those portable hand squeezing bidet things but it was too much trouble and didn't do much.
So now I just do my business in the morning. Clean with paper like a barbarian and then take a shower.
“Sometimes when I wipe, I’ll wipe and I’ll wipe and I’ll wipe and I’ll wipe…100 times…still..poop…still poop. It’s like I’m wiping a marker or something . “
Been using TH-cam for years and one of the best video I’ve seen - love the review and breakdown at the end with three recommendations.
The Brondell attaches to hot and cold water. What I like is turning the knob starts the flow to clean but also brings it to temperature at the same time
I like how he uses a new bowl to catch the water for each one the tests 😂
I'm skipping the salad if they have me over for dinner
I was thinking the same thing too lol.
😂 I noticed that too… and was hoping he washed those bowls real good afterwards 😅
hahah got to keep it fresh!
I just thought it was he realized a clear bottom bowl was would show the spray angle better. But then he went back to a solid bowl for the second to last one.
For me its about internal hardware being used. We've had our Luxe for 3 years and no issues. But Im here becuz its time to replace. Cheap hardware used spells disaster. Great video and reviews.
Great video. Appreciated the pros and cons you provided for each bidet. I just bought and installed the Brondell CL99 bidet and truly love it. Got it on sale at Costco. Very easy installation. I recommend it.
I really liked your comparison. I have thought of one, especially for my adult son with special needs. These are non-electric, I didn't know this was an option. Awesome job! I like the whole seat one you showed the best, it has a better self cleaning.
Glad you found the video helpful! :)
I've never seen an electric one except with a water warmer. They are all existing water pressure powered. Messes are still possible to make.
The only downside to the non-electric is they use the cold water. Warm water does a much better job at cleaning and, depending on where you live, your cold water may be really cold. An option with the non-electric is hooking them up to the Hot water side instead if your hot water isn't set too high.
@@MojoPupthe brondell model has another version that you can hook up both hot and cold water connections and it has a temperature balancing switch for you to make it hotter or colder. Plus you can leave on the self cleaning feature when it starts and disperse the cold water in the pipes until the water warms up 👍
@@crash4dafun The temp's fine, it heats up quick. I'm not somewhere that I could connect lines from under the sink, had to use the cold toilet supply line.
It's the water pressure that I would like a little stronger. End up having to run it several times to get clean
I have the Luxe Neo 320 and love it. The hot water option let's you adjust the temp to your preference. No more sudden eyes wide open...
I really like the blast shield on my Luxe bidets. That, and the self cleaning feature were what sold me on the brand.
The shield on my luxe fell off without me noticing. Then I flushed it and had to call a plumber. Not a fun day.
My Buttbudy lasted me a year and a bit. It still works but I’ve had to crazy glue back together the parts that go under the toilet lid screws.
I have six of thesein my two homes. Some are cold like these, and some give warm water, and ass drying features. The cold ones are fine, but the warm ones, around $250 are luxury. I also have a battery handheld one for traveling. Once you go bidet, you never go back.
Thanks for watching the video! All the links to the products are in the description. Also don't forget to like and subscribe to if you want to see more videos like this where I review and compare products. :)
What? No app? That's bullsh*t.
You should’ve actually tested them on your butt.
Question: I am new to beedays, and I'm not sure if our water pressure is just too high, but how do you keep the water from spraying out of your nose?
What's a feminine spray? Difference between feminine spray and a bum spray? And why does one spray on the left and one on the right?
@@rushabhshah.2768bum spray is a rear spray..fem spray is a front spray
I had a Luxe bidet and they little splatter shield fell off without me noticing. By the time I noticed, I had already flushed it and it had clogged up the toilet / sewer line requiring an expensive plumber visit. Luxe is too expensive for too few features and the shield can fall off without you noticing.
I installed the Luxe Bidet and the self clean feature doesn't work. I will keep your issue in mind with it. thanks!
very well done! Thank you for making such a thorough review of each model
I suggest Hydrawand, which is a U a hand held sprayer that does not replace your toilet seat. It only connects to your toilet's water line.
Brondell also has a version that hooks up to a warm water supply if you have one nearby, which is what I went with. It's not instantly warm, but it gets there very quickly, if you run your sink until the water is hot.
Which one if you don’t mind me asking
This man deserves more views. ❤ the video
Love all my Tushys. Hate traveling anymore … need bidets everywhere
This was sooo helpful! Been looking for this kind of review for a while!
I've used a baby shampoo bottle (any bottle that squirts up) for years - cheap & works great.
Another good plastic bottle to use is an empty dishwashing liquid bottle. These come in many shapes ans sizes and can be used outside the home.
Gross
Agree! The only drawback is that some toilets don't offer a lot of room so sometimes there's a need to clean up some water spillage.
I have the Tushy Spa 3.0 because I wanted warm water. I have gastro issues & using the bidet has been so helpful. I’ve only had the Tushy since January, but i am thinking I might go for a higher end toilet seat bidet & move the Tushy to the other bathroom. I also love the name Tushy.
Adjustable pressure is a must.
personally out of all of these i would choose the neo 120, preferably the plus version. i really like the 360 cleaning. and it has a very large protective guard, very useful if you have boys (or some adult males) that have poor aiming skills with their joystick. i would've picked the brondell too but the nozzle sticks out too far, potentially getting dirty with poopie water. the neo 120 doesn't stick out that much.
Glad I bought Toto integrated bidet seats. They do need a GFI outlet installed, but we’re a cinch to install physically. And the have a seat weight interlock.
Toto for sale here at Costco, $400. Our BioBidet 6800 has a gradually cracking seat, likely soon to be unusable; not well suited to our (Kohler, ca. 1998, elongated) bowl as its support block hang over; they are WAY too small. Bad engineering in my humble, an easily foreseeable problem that should have been solved before releasing for sale. How hard would it have been to simply make the blocks LARGER, with more contact area? I feel like a beta tester.
I have the Tushy bidet and I have an round toilet and a Kohler toilet seat which the screws that came with the bidet have rusted. So i bought some at Homedepot only to find out it wouldnt fit my seat and the large profile on the Tushy bidet so I had to find the parts for my Kohler toilet seat online. What I dont like about mine is that the profile between the seat and the back base of the toilet is think and cleàning the back area where it screws to the toilet and seat takes up all the space making it very difficult to clean so Im left to remove the seat and bidet in order to sanitize it. Otherwise it works well and having the nozzle tilt is great because depending on your toilet and personal needs its helpful. Im interested in the last one.
I've been recommending the Brondell to everyone who will listen for the last year, I love it!
Does it hav a water heating feature?
@@farmerbosse This one doesn't, but there are models that you can attach to a hot water source.
IMO, hot water is unnecessary. I was kinda worried about it since I live in North Idaho but it's no big thing....
I stepped up and bought the best ( at least it was the best Bondell amazon had it was $580 including Washington tax I LOVE IT It plugs in to 120 volt 15 amp draw the amount of water it sprays is heated on demand It has many settings some for pressure some for location a male and female option a base position for center of the oscillations a heated seat a lighted bowl and a heated air dryer all with a pushbutton wireless remote control also has an exhaust fan that uses activated charcoal Don't know if you could ever improve on it I figure 2 or 3 years of toilet paper will about pay for it ( not just the toilet paper store cost but I expect the septic tank will take a lot longer to fill up without all that paper )
You should have gotten the Luxe neo 185 for $10 more, it has feminine wash and is life changing. The brondell cost 50-100% more than the rest.
The video I was looking for. Thank you!
Neo 120 plus has feminine wash. Its more comparable with the rest of the tested bidets. Great reviews!
Thank you for making such a comprehensive and impartial video.
I love this kind of useful TH-cam algorithms. Valuable information! Thanks!!
I’ve had Luxe Neo 320 bidets on all of our toilets since shortly after the pandemic began. Very good product and price point.
I love my Luxe bidets!
What toilet paper shortage? 😂
@@Eyes0penNoFear Exactly!
Nice review, would you please consider other cold/warm bidet too
Don't forget that you can use a fridge water line kit to run a very slim clear water line for hot water.
I had a Brondell (with the added hot water line attachment) and have to point out that the controls are not labelled for a sitting position. You basically have to memorize what they do, or through trial and error. Not so hard, but might be difficult for guests. I had to replace mine because the plastic knob on the brass fitting cracked. Kind of a cheap design flaw, IMO. I replaced with two others (I have three commodes) and they seem fine. I don't miss the warm water (which you have to wait for to warm up). Cold is fine. Soothing and refreshing, even.
I've got the Samodra one. Best $40 I ever spent from Amazon. I did find though that the front wash hits the bum better and the bum wash hits the front better so I just turn the handle opposite to how it is directed.
Our LivingBasic with hot and cold is superior other than the difficulty of mounting. The seat needed legs to not sit crooked or put undue pressure on unit above the nozzles. It was only $55 too. Love the sign, we gotta steal that idea LOL
I installed the first one about two yrs ago, because it was cheap I didn't expect it to last but have had no problem with it at all, it is only a cold water one but you soon get used to it even in winter and to be honest I would never ever go back to using just toilet paper and you really do feel so much cleaner just by using the bidet, no more personal lingering smell and no skiddie underwear, would recommend 100%.
Thanks, THANKS! I needed just a review like that, man!
Kudos right off the bat just for conducting this research 🙏
We have two Tushy’s. Love it but hate taking it off to clean. But they are all the same in that aspect.
Thanks for the great review. Saved me hours of perusing Amazon reviews to pick the right one.
Same here
I have a Kohler bidet. It is electric with heated seat and water. I would recommend the Kohler bidet. I can’t imagine using cold water!
I've been using the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 since 2016. I've just replaced it for the 3rd time, but I've only ever replaced it because the seat broke. The bidet is $30 so I might as well replace it when installing a fresh new seat.
How do you keep breaking your toilet seats? Lol
Thanks, I have one since 5 years and love it.
A bidet is surely among the best purchases I’ve made in the last 20-30 years!
I ordered and installed by myself (super duper easy) a bidet. Toto is the industry standard. 2 years later, still loving it! Here is what I ordered: Toto SW2043R#01 C200.
Watee Temperature control for 2 users, as well as pressure control. Heated seat. Self cleaning. Must be near a power source. I am supremely happy with my purchase!
Water temp is something I was wondering about. It must be quite a shock to get hit with ice cold water!
Must be near a water source?
Not a tall order, because household toilets also require this... quite convenient.
Perhaps you meant power source? 😁
@@1SqueakyWheel What the heck was I thinking? You are absolutely correct! Don't I feel foolish. 🤯😁
@Mike Dunn Yes. A cold water blast would be most unpleasant. It also has a pressure control as well. One of the best purchases I've made in many years 👍
The Toto Washlet is life-changing! It’s hard for me to travel because I miss it so much! 😂
I have that Brondel Bidet first but it leak after 1 year. I replaced it with Kohler K5724, I think Kohler seat is the most comfortable of the bunch, robust construction. I have it since 2016 it never break down, no leak, easy to clean. The add on Bidet to a toilet seat is very uncomfortable, makes existing toilet seat not balance, hard to clean.
Bought 2 Kohler exactly like the Brondel shown, one leaks when using the fem mode, shoots water all under the seat. The other still works but does not self clean. I expected better from Kohler, they been making toilets for a long time.
All of those cheap bidets will leak, mine started leaking after only a week. That's the problem with those bidets, to save them to last longer, you should install a separate shut-off handle that you have to separately turn the water on/off to the bidet itself.. kind of a pain!
I used one of these until I changed to seat to extended, about 3” higher. My only problem was using the feminine clean, the water went under the front of the seat between the seat and bowl. I used a home made shield, that I kept close at hand. All in the past☹️
Lol, I like and bought the one around your neck. The water pressure on these things looks like you can do some real damage especially on the first one or two times you use them. The hand one (the one around your neck) let's you do cleanup of yourself from unlimited angles, but you can also do diaper cleanup over the toilet and clean the toilet itself. It makes all the other bidets feel very limited. The big drawback is you do have to be agile enough to reach back there for an older person. That may be a deal breaker. But you don't have to actually reach that far as you do to do a wipe so it isn't that bad. If you are taking care of an elderly parent, the hand bidet is like a baby shower head and is a life and embarrassment saver for both you and your careee :) Plus the water cable is the same as a shower cable so the shower was close enough for me to put 2 cable together and get warm water for my parent. For me, the cold wasn't that bad, but I don't live up north. I like to joke and say " I have the cleanest a$$ in town lol. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
The pressure isn't strong enough to 'do damage'. I hate the hand ones, hard to really clean especially if you have the smaller round toilets, there just isn't enough room unless you stand up and then you end up making a mess around the toilet...no thanks.
I'm going to look for a review on those. Hard to picture how it is exactly used! But the idea is appealing.
Installed a Luxe 185 Deluxe a few months ago. Great addition to the loo... Couple of points though. First, the cold water isn't a big deal, at least for the back side, for the "front" wash, I can't speak to that.. 2nd, many of these are quite thick and will raise the front of the toilet seat off the rim. Probably depends on what type seat you have. 3rd and most important (for us anyway) is the bowl shape. The Luxe is best used for an oval bowl, you really have to scoot forward if it's mounted on a round bowl. Due to clearance issues you sometimes have to use a round instead of an oblong bowl. I'm looking to add one to our main bathroom, this helped narrow down the options.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Got a bit of an update. The Kohler seat broke, it's a Kohler Cimarron toilet. I hated the seat from the start, all plastic hinges that were wobbly out of the box. Damn thing shifted around and had that constant plastic creaking. I replaced it with a Bemis round lid with brushed nickle soft close hinges. Virtually no wobble. It also allows the Luxe to shift back far enough to "hit the right spot". Another benefit is the hinge doesn't bind, allowing the front bumpers to hit the rim instead of floating i above it. No more worry about the thickness of the Luxe.
Hate the cold water, actually causes my muscles to cramp up.
Good video, good enthusiasm. Although - very Americanized. That's not a bad thing, just a comment and here's what I mean - After having lived in multiple countries in Europe and Asia, where every single toilet has a water system, including sometimes all the porto potties (😮) the preferred way to go with bidets the handheld bum-gun style. This allows for more pressure at various angles and is much more personalized for each user. Once you get the hang of moving your hand around with the water stream, there's no going back. Many people think they are the cheaper, more economical option, but the opposite is actually true once you get into the higher end and better built models. You should do another video on the bum gun style bidets. Stainless steel models from Italy are currently the best made in my opinion.
Amazon has a lot of affordable options, I plan on getting something like this as a nice little bathroom flex and to use less toilet paper
Have had the Tushy since the beginning of Covid 19, it works great, easy to clean. I've never adjusted the nozzle so I can't say that feature is a plus, but might be because I'm a guy?
I ran a bidet attachment for about 5 years, but they are just too hard to keep clean. Switched to the wand and I'm just as happy with it. I'd really prefer a simple bidet built into a toilet seat without making the hole smaller.
Thank's for that warning on the first design. As someone who never grew-up, the child-proofing was my #1.
You didn't mention that the controls for the Brondell are not that easy to see once you're sitting on the toilet so you have to remember how to use it (which way to turn the knob).
Thank you for doing all this work! Now I know which one I like 😊
How many kitchen bowls did you use? If I’m invited for dinner I’m gonna be looking for those bowls 🙈
Thank you for doing the research for me! I will use your links when I purchase. Wishing more subscribers for you. I hit that button and look forward to your next project. 🇨🇦💕
The Luxe Neo 120 came today. IT DOES NOT FLIP out of the way for toilet cleaning.
Luxe Neo 120 Plus
Great review video, better than most. I have a Brondel Heated model and the only con I have is that I wish it was a little stronger. But I love the heated feature. Only downside that I can't change is that we have a 'Round' toilet (apt, can't change out) and the rear section of the Brondel takes up a bit of space.
How is the seat cover/top is it sturdy enough to sit on without any flex?
Very thorough demonstration. Thanks!
What nobody’s talking about is that the plastic part that touches the toilet breaks. And the plastic cable that delivers water to nozzles breaks with it too and leaks.
I like your research. My issue is COLD water!? Are there any bidets that offer warm?
Yeah, there are bidets that offer warm water. The only problem is those require you to have a GIF outlet next to your toilet and very few bathrooms have those. They are tend to be much more expensive.
@@reviewbase8047 So, not to be indelicate, did your family try each one personally? Or did we just see the water shows?
Since the water is standing for few hours in the pipes of your house or apartment, the water coming out of the bidet is not that cold, simply lukewarm. I was worried about this but, to my surprise, it is kind of refreshing and very acceptable (and I do live in a very cold part of the country).
@@maudithiver Thank you!
I have a bidet with a warm water hookup to the sink but most times the water comes out cool, pretty much like how @maudithiver says. However, if you were to run hot water from the sink or shower before turning on the bidet, you might accidently burn your bootyhole if you forget where you set the temperature settings.
I live in Canada and I do not have problem with the water. Fortunately, It is not that cold! I love it.
Truly? I'm a scaredy cat about my nether parts
where in Canada? Cause in the dead of Winter, some places basically have no snow and if they do, it's gone the next day, then there are other places where it's so cold that if you spit, it turns to ice before hitting your gloves!
I live in mid-northern Ontario, Canada where the tap water is colder than refrigerated water!
But I understand that the cold water might be lukewarm if it hasn't been turned on for a while and gets warmer as it sits inside the house in the pipes...
Dear Yvon, for your information, I live a little east of Quebec City where Winter is freezingly cold!
Personally wish they made the controls to be separate. Maybe something I could attach to the wall but they work great.
If that is a major factor and price isn't an issue then some of the electric ones have remote controls you could mount on the wall.
Unfortunately you are not showing the various connectors to the bottom of the toilet tank's water valve. My old Veken bidet has a metal connector that is not a 'solid' one piece connector and this is a problem. It presents a problem in tightening the connector properly in order to get a good seal. You should take the time and show the parts that come with each bidet.
There are other videos (really good ones) on youtube that do a thorough job of demonstrating the installation of these bidet seat attachment things. As far as installation goes, they are all pretty much identical. You screw an adapter to the bottom of the toilet tank. On that you connect the water supply line from the bathroom wall. On that you also attach a small hose to divert some water to the bidet itself. For some bidets, the water line is not pre-installed on the bidet side. For those, you need to finish the water connection by attaching the small hose to the bidet. Now you are ready to set the bidet attachment in place on the top of the toilet bowl, then set your toilet seat down and use the toilet seat bolts to hold both the bidet attachment and the seat. After you've done it once or twice, and regardless of brand/model....this is a 10 minute job that usually doesn't require tools. SOME toilet seats have bolts that you need a screwdriver for, but most have large nuts that you can both loosen and tighten with your hand. Same for all the water connections. If you are strong, you won't need tools to make the water connection as hand-tight is water tight. If you aren't strong, then a large adjustable pliers can firm it up. But be careful of over-torque as the main water connections are mostly plastic.
Just the info I was looking for, thanks!
Been looking for someone who actually tested it, all ones watched before you I was like dang just put a bowl there an test it so we can see cause ya know I dont want one that has so much pressure it gives me a new bumhole😊😂 but seriously my grandson hates way toliet paper feels so he uses a ton of wipes so I am looking for him def need adjustable to hard would hurt. I didnt notice the two you said didnt look like they have a protective guard, I will go do that research. But thanks for showing us the whole waterworks 💦 not just the install. Those vids drive me nuts, its like there you have it ok now lets see it actually work.
I have some that have a flat controller on toilets in my vacation rental property.
People have placed burning cigarettes on them and damaged the surface. So the rounded handle one is best for that location.
I would add the price one each item and the item number or model number. That would help even more!
Yes!
The price changed everyday for everyone one 😅
Should have been a 15 minute job. Installing one of these took me two days and a trip to hardware store just to remove/reattach the supply line. Not enough space between the toilet and the counter for channel locks or a wrench to turn and a nut that was too large for my biggest adjustable wrench. I ended up having to go after it with vice grips, turning maybe 10 degrees at a time.
😊❤well done.
Soooooooo, questions:
Doesn't the water squirt everywhere, including coming out between the seat and the bowl?
And now you are dropping wet.. regular TP will shred, and without soap, I would hate to use a towel. What is proper edicate?
The water doesn't squirt everywhere because the spray is surprisingly accurate. If you can't adjust the aim like in one of the models reviewed, you may have to adjust a bit, but plunking down in the sweet spot is easy enough. Cheap TP may shred, but with how much TP you save you'll be able to justify the Quilted Northern.
^ well said Shawn
@@ShawnLindstrom - lol on the Quilted Northern justification!
Three weeks ago I installed the first bidet in this video. (My wife came back from a visit to our son and she said it was wonderful thing she discovered there.)
I don’t know how the heck the engineers did it but the water spray is incredibly precise. And I was afraid the water would feel cold, but it turns out since the spray is so precise my butt doesn’t actually get wet, and surprisingly (to me) the rectum (sorry to be indelicate) evidently is not as sensitive to temperature as the skin on your body. The more you turn the knob the harder the spray is. And the spray is so precise that you could give your self an enema if you wanted to turn it up to full force. Obviously I don’t have lady parts but my wife says the spray for that is just as precise as the other spray. I give the device such a 100% thumb’s up that I’m sending one to my 87 year old parents.
If you do get the Samodra like we did, it took about 15 minutes to install instead of 10 because I was a dummy and forgot to install the toilet seat back on top of the Samodra. So I had to unscrew the nuts and remove the two bolts and essentially do the installation a second time. My point is it’s that easy and simple to install. You could do it twice in fifteen minutes.
I installed our mid lock down covid and we reduced our TP use down to maybe %10 of pre-tushy. It's effectively 4-5 sheets to dab off the droplets
I've had a Brondell SS-150 for over 4 years now, and it's still going strong. It's similar to the Samodora, but it doesn't have the feminine nozzle. Edit: there is a SS-250 available that does have the second nozzle. :)
I bought the Brondell; it works wonderfully. However, after 1 year and 1 week, the on/off knob broke (out of warranty). For some reason, the water wouldn't turn off at the wall, so ended up having to turn off water to the house. Plumber on a Sunday and every towel in the house later, Brondell informed us there isn't a replacement part; we would have to purchase another complete set.
Thank you so much ! For your awesome info .. very informative and useful ..
We install3d the very simple hand held bidet. I like it because its multi-functional. You can clean out sick-room bowls, buckets and everything in between. You can get rid of accidents in underwear as well as re-useable nappies, if someone has been sick on their clothes everything sprays orr so easily. I also like it because You need to show a person how to use it. Its seperate from the toilet so there is no cleaning issues. I use it far more than my husband having feminine issues. It's definitely a marvel if you have constant issues with loose bowels, there is not more sore butts. We fitted it during C19 when toilet paper was in sort supply. Never again will I have anxiety of not being able to buy toilet paoer again. The Pro side is it is cheap. The Con is it just uses cold water which I think all 5 shown here only use cold water. For us that's not an issue as we live in the tropics.
I was thinking of one of those. You're talking about the hose with nozzle? Do you have cases where it sprays all over the room? Also does the toilet ever fill up with too much water? Thanks in advance:)
Very nice and concise review. Thanks!
I have one on my toilet which has 2 hoses for warm water. I live in Canada and winter time water is very cold. Would not recommend one without dual hookup.
Great videos. I have a heated one and it's been nothing but issues
I have the Luxe Neo and wanted to order a 2nd one, but fount the Luxe Elite at close to the same price.
It has the "feminine" option added.
I know this is probably beyond too personal, but I have a hygiene question about bidets in general. You ARE suppose to use your hand and soap after a starting rinse, correct? I don’t see how just a rinse will actually leave one clean
No, you should never use soap in this region of your body. And you don't need any with a bidet, the water cleans everything sufficiently.
So far I like them all 👍 The first one is nice & the second one I like because of the cover thingy it has. My favorite is the last one 👍
Great video. TY. I need to know if the Brondell elongated toilet version blocks the rear couple of inches of the seat opening.
You also want to keep in mind that a lot of these products do not come with backflow protection which is required in some jurisdictions. These devices ensure that contaminated water doesn't flow back into the mains water. Check your local plumbing laws before purchasing one of these devices!
