This review is from: Hyundai HDBM-100 Bidet, White (Health and Beauty)

We bought this to enhance household hygiene and wanted the cold water version to avoid having to put in too many water lines.
The concept is that you take of the lid of the toilet and put this on the toilet and then re-install the lid.
That was a 5 minute job.
The next step is that you put a waterline ( 1/4" plastic tubing like what you'd use to connect a waterline to a fridge)on the bidet. This is then connected to the main water valve next to the toilet via a t-adaptor.
Here's the problem: they do not send you the t-adaptor nor the tubing. So when you get this you will still have to go roam around the home improvement store to find these items (they all have them tho), making this from a 5 minute installation to a 3 hr install. VERY ANNOYING. They could have charged a few bucks more and added those 2 plastic parts.

**Update: after speaking with support they ensured me the plumbing parts should have been in the box and they corrected the error. However, the valve Hyundai includes is difficult to install without dripping. I therefore went to the hardware store and bought a 5$ self-tapping valve, installed in 3 minutes with no leaks.**

Also, about the item itself: the water comes out very 'focused' (narrow powerful stream) and can be adjusted for comfort and angle. It functions as expected/desired.
The unit is from heavy plastic and actually looks nice and high-tech and as a part of the toilet once installed.

We recommend this for people looking for added hygiene and who lack desire to uproot their plumbing and wallet for expensive integrated units.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy a valve before you set out to install this!, December 20, 2007

I got this item today and is really upset with it. The T-valve Hyundai supplies along with this product is bad. It drips whatever you do. I read the review of another person here complaining of the same defect. So this may be a problem with their design. I too am planning to buy a T-valve from else where to check if that fixes the issue.
***** update ****
I bought a T-Valve and a sleeve from Lowes for around $8. That fixed the problem. So consider adding that to the listed product price.

Also keep in mind that the cold water experience may not be very pleasant. At times water can get pretty cold and may make the endurance tough.

5.0 out of 5 stars very nice product, requires a lot of teflon tape, April 12, 2008

All the parts where there, nothing missing like in other reviews.
You need to use a LOT of Teflon tape, otherwise you will have drips (Once I applied enough tape, the drips stopped).

There are cheaper similar products you can find on the web for ~$30, I used to own them and their work fine. This one is nicer though (you can adjust the angle of the spray for instance) and it worths the price.
