This is the best product I bought in years and for many reasons! I been going to the doctors for past two years because of my hemorroids would bleed blood into the toilet when I was taking a dump. The doctor told me I might be straining to much,but I did not think I did. With the Bidet toilet device the problem was solved! When I turn the water spray on for 15 to 20 seconds it starts a bowel movement automatically. No blood in the toilet and I also feel they are finally healing! My butt feels way cleaner and more sanitize compared to normal toilet paper wipes. I move into the 20th century with this device! Thank-you very much! Paul

This product works very well, and is a great alternative to more expensive all-in-one bidet toilet seats. The controls are easy to operate and well designed. Hooking up to the toilet's cold supply is very straightforward, as others have described. The hot water side took more effort.

The unit requires about six inches of side clearance to install. The orientation of the controls cannot be changed. You'll need a couple of wrenches and some Teflon pipe tape - and a drill in our case for the hot supply, because we have wood vanities.

I suppose you could run plumbing for the hot supply inside the wall behind the toilet if you are really concerned with aesthetics, but the supply line is just a length of thin white plastic tubing (think aquarium), which is very unobtrusive. As another reviewer mentioned, a cold water spray really feels more refreshing than warm, so you may choose to forego the hot side.

The dual nozzles put out two different spray pressures and patterns, which hit two different personal areas, if you know what I mean. The "wash" button runs water over the nozzles themselves to clean the assembly under the seat. The housing, which attaches easily to the toilet's seat bolts, stays down against the bowl when one lifts the seat - perhaps presenting a challenge to male accuracy.

There can be a little splashing outside the toilet, especially at first. There is a learning curve. Turn the pressure knob slowly!

I honestly don't know why bidets are so rare in American homes. We are a people obsessed with cleanliness, yet we ignore this immense improvement to personal hygiene. I had to go to Europe to discover the obvious benefits of water over dry paper.

First, this is an excellent product, and this is so hygienic that this really ought to have more reviews.I wonder if its because this is such an intimate item that not many people bother coming back to place a review...

This gives such a clean and fresh feeling, but you got to watch out for the water pressure.

A FEW DONT'S:
1. After installation, DONT bend over the toilet and turn on the water pressure knob - you WILL get a spray on your face !

2. When using it, DONT be hasty and turn on the pressure EVEN half way !! the water shoots out at such speed, you WILL YELP AND JUMP OFF THE SEAT !! Trust me on that one. Turn the knob S-L-O-O-O-O-W-L-Y!

This model is quite easy to install - as long as you are not one of those who need detailed instructions. The installation instructions are quite bad, but with a little bit of tinkering, you can figure it out easily enough. Takes about 10-15 min. I dont have a connection to the hot water supply yet, so not sure how that would be, but I am looking forward to it.

It also has a nozzle cleaning push button, not sure how that works. The item doesnt come with any user instructions to speak of.

I would definitely recommend this, and am planning to install this in my other bathroom too. WELL worth the price.

My wife's interest in a retrofit type of bidet piqued my interest and I ended up deciding on a Luxe, primarily because of the reviews here. We had initially looked at some that were integrated with a seat system, but those were, frankly, out of our price range at this time. The Luxe seems to be a great value.

Installation was easy--about 45 minutes for someone who has light experience with residential type plumbing. These do not require a real plumber to install, but if you have no experience with hooking up a sink or a toilet connection, I would suggest getting someone who does to do it for you. Not that you couldn't figure it out, but there is a certain amount of "feel" involved in working with those connections and it is possible to under-tighten or over-tighten the connections which could cause you regrettable problems down the road. You don't want to come home one day to a flooded bathroom.

OK--in our case it came down to two issues. 1) Get the one with the hot water connection? 2) Get the double nozzle version?

If you live in a northern climate and, during he winter months, ever turn on your cold water and say, "WOO HOO, that is some COLD water!", you're gonna want the warm water connection. That is, unless you have a walalala with no nerve endings. (You can pretty much figure out what I mean by that.) The warm water connection actually ties into the hot water stop valve under your vanity, so it's not like any significant plumbing modifications are required--assuming that your vanity is pretty close to the toilet. If not, it can still be done, you just might need to buy some longer tubing. The product comes with the necessary T's to tie in. They even give you a pair of nice new, metal reinforced connection hoses.

Regarding whether or not to get the double nozzle version--oh, you know this is such a delicate area. OK--we found that with our toilet seat (which happens to be one of those vinyl covered, cushioned types), the "sighting" was dead on. The wife feels that choosing the double nozzle version was a good decision and adds that the sighting is dead on for both barrels.

Insertion of the bidet assembly does raise the back of the toilet seat about 1/2". It's no biggie to get used to. As a matter of fact, I like it because I wear bifocals and it makes it easier to read.

So. There you have it. Hopefully some information to help you make an informed decision...and without video! You're Welcome!!!!!!!!

We were very pleased with the MB110 model (single nozzle, no hot water). However, wanted to try the dual nozzle so ordered this one as well. Had a lot of trouble trying to get both nozzles on target, eventually did a makeshift fix using a shim but still the water doesn't go exactly where we want it to and it sometimes sprays outside of the toilet. Did not hook up the hot water portion because do not need it. Will keep trying to adjust this one but may end up not using the feminine nozzle and using only the primary nozzle. Also, cannot get the nozzle wash button to work but that might be because it needs the warm water part functional, not sure about that. If we could go back, we would've ordered a second MB110 model and skipped this one.

i would have given this 5 stars if it came with teflon tape and better instructions.

in short, if you buy this bidet you will be very happy - just go out and buy some teflon tape when you order the bidet, the tape is only $1.

oh yeah, and get a small stool to sit on when you install it - unless you have great knees.

as for the cold vrs hot water debate - i can't weigh in on that yet as our hot water valve is broken so i can't install that feature - but the cold works just fine for us so far.

--- update ---
hooked up the hot water today, it was easy, but i needed to purchase a "basin wrench" similar to this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Michigan-Industrial-Tools-Basin-Wrench/dp/B000NPT5KS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1252103481&sr=8-6

if the pipes behind your sink are the non flex type you will need one of these also, so save yourself the agony and go to the hardware store to get one - or order this one - once you order this bidet.

and will add that while the cold water alone is fine, the addition of the hot water is even better.

I am a convert to Bidet's thanks to this product. Product is as advertised. The previous reviewers are very accurate in their descriptions, including the jet hitting the face. My 5-year-old had not read the review, and chose to try it himself and was promptly rewarded.

Very fast shipping.

Now the issues -

(1)Attachments to the pipes and shut off valve that came with the product did not work for me. My house is ~50 years old. I had to make a run to the local hardware store to find the parts and struggle with it a bit. But, finally got cold water to work.

(2)The hot water pipe was too short for an aesthetic install, i.e., the only way it would work is if I went diagonally across the bathroom. The pipe fell short if I tried to take it under the crawl space or around the corner. That specific pipe is not available in ANY local store (I have searched top 4 stores) and my plumber was also flummoxed. But, the quality looks good, so I am still searching to get a longer pipe. I wish the mgf would provide a much longer pipe or sell it as an accessory.

NOTE: There is NO built in child safety lock - there is no way of stopping a toddler or a mischievous visitor to play with this and let the water run. And, even if you stop them in time, the water has spilled all over. I would not ding the mgf for this shortcoming, but something to keep in mind before buying.

Overall, I am a convert and will definitely buy this product again for my other bathroom.

"Paul" spoke the truth. I agree with all he said and more.

I made the mistake of getting a different style for the spare bath, and it didn't compare to this Luxe Bidet MB320 Double Nozzle Fresh and Warm Water Spray Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment. For that price, I thought it would be cheap and breakable, but it has exceeded all expectations! Great seller, too!

A really important feature is that you can use the self-cleaning function to run the cold water out of the line--it does NOT spray out of the bowl--it just cleans the nozzles AND the underside of the rim of the bowl. You will quickly learn where your "comfort" temp setting is and then when you are seated and ready, you just select the nozzle you want and ease the water on. Very nice, pleasant and clean. At my age (52) I really appreciate it after a long drive.... or a long ride on my Harley.

In short, for a great price, you get everything you want - the temperature control, the twin nozzles to accommodate your desired angle, and pressure that ranges from gentle stream to pressure washer! Ha!

I have laminate flooring, and I have had NO problems with a wet floor - though I do give a short training course to all new visitors. I just grab the dog's water bowl and use it to deflect the water to show them the works!

To sum it up: It's fun during the good times and it's a lifesaver when a problem flares up. Why did I wait so long to get one?

I bought this to replace a Bio Bidet BB-250 that started to leak. I specifically got it because it's exactly the same as the BB-250 so that I could keep the plumbing. None of these companies make them, they just pay a Chinese manufacturer to put their logo on a Chinese product. What US company doesn't do that these days?

Anyways, it works as well as my BB-250. The install kit is better, sadly I didn't need it. I'm hoping it lasts more than the 6 months my BB-250 did.

It's a good beginner bidet. The one feature it sorely lacks is adjustable nozzles. Not all toilets are created equal. While this is advertised as fitting 2 piece toilets, on mine it will only fit in a position that makes it too far forward. Thus the stream is too far forward. The nozzles cannot be adjusted for angle so I had to shim it to an angle to work.

So, my second one just broke. It's the same problem the first one had. The water bypass/nozzle cleaning button starts to leak. It's great while it lasts but don't expect it to last for years. About a year is all it'll do.

We bought this to both reduce toilet paper usage and for hygiene. It's a wonderful product. It makes you wonder why it took so long for you to catch on. It only takes 15 minutes to install (you might need a plumber's wrench for the hot water).

But, we were surprised there were not reviews warning about some of the issues or offering up fixes. First, on the bidet (feminine) spray it's pretty hard to keep some small splash from coming out in front between the toilet lid and bowl. To solve this we cut a thin arc of 1/4 inch vinyl board into an elongated bumper and fashioned and attached it with a couple brass screws between the two seat bumpers...worked great, somebody ought to offer it as an accessory. Second, depending upon your seat hinges, they can press down on the unit and deflect the nozzles to a different angle as well as stressing the plastic. On our unit an extra garden hose washer between the unit and the seat took care of the problem.

We truly love the product but it did take some tinkering to get perfect. The company could add a couple washers and a bumper splash guard and it would adapt much more readily to the variety of toilets and seats out there...but, it's an easy fix if you've got one and have any problems.
