Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to admit, I was completely skeptical of this product, and of bidets in general. After my husband did some international traveling, he came home convinced that we needed more sanitary toilet habits. So he ordered this small bidet conversion kit--against my protests. I am not French, had never used a bidet, and was pretty much convinced that my rear did not need a small stream of water aimed at it. I was also concerned about mess and hygiene since an American toilet is generally not made for that sort of thing. However, after having this unit for a year now, I have completely converted. The one toilet we have it on in the house is my favorite toilet, and there is no disadvantage to having this product! Meaning, it just sits there on the side of your toilet and you don't have to use it if you don't want to. It doesn't make a noise. It doesn't interfere with flushing or the water level. It doesn't get dirty. (It has a self-cleaning mechanism if you wanted to wipe it down, or you can with a Lysol wipe). And there are actually times of the month (or just times in general) when you do want a small stream of water to help you get extra clean! Basically the way it works is, it attaches to your intake water nozzle behind your toilet, and the water box sits right under the toilet rim (not the seat) in the back of the bowl. You can't see it in the Amazon photo, but it's basically a small white plastic box in the way back. The on/off control sits on the right side of the toilet, as shown in the picture. You just turn it on and click how forceful a stream of water you'd like. Then a small stream of water shoots out the plastic box at your you-know-where! It is cold and takes some getting used to, as an American not used to this sort of thing, but you do not have to worry about the spray going out of the bowl since you are basically covering up the entire opening of the toilet seat when you are sitting on it. As the mom cleaning all the bathrooms in the house, this issue was very important to me. I did not want to have clean up bum water! Again, what I like most about this unit is that it is cheap and does what it's supposed to do, and just sits there if you don't want to use it. You can forget about it if you want since it does not interfere with the seat or the toilet's function. The only thing I would change about it, if I could, is I would make more lower settings since I find the very lowest click to be as forceful as I want. And while there is a spectrum effect a little bit, I would prefer an upgrade where the entire adjusting knob was one big gradation of force, rather than a five-click setting. (My husband, for the record, uses the higher settings all the time for that superfresh feel.) I know this is probably all TMI, so forgive me, but you're here reading about it, so you asked for it! Great kit, easy to install and uninstall.
