American Standard Bidet Seat, White

For years, I've used a bidet that bolted underneath the existing toilet seat. It worked fine, but was not easy to clean. The integrated design of this product makes that a non-issue. It's a much cleaner look, and it fits my new Glacier Bay toilet perfectly. As others have pointed out, and the installation instructions describe, there's an in-line flow regulator pre-installed. It's located where you hook up the hose to the seat. I didn't even bother trying it with the flow regulator installed, I just followed the instructions and removed it. The pressure is perfect without that regulator. One added bonus that I wasn't aware of at the time, is the way this mounts to the toilet. Rather than bolting the whole unit on, you install a mounting plate that the seat then slides into and locks with. There's a release button so you can quickly and easily remove it for cleaning. The instructions associated with the template seem to be poorly translated to English, but it's pretty intuitive once you see the template. What it's really trying to do is show exactly where to align the mounting plate so that the seat is properly situated on the toilet. I nailed it on the first try. The only other part about the installation that took a little effort was installing the rubber inserts through the base of the toilet. These are optional per the instructions, but if you can use them it seems like it would make for a more snug installation. It took a little effort to get them through the holes, but they seated nicely once they were in. Tightening up the screws into the threaded part of the insert then causes the bottom of the insert to expand, providing a very solid anchor for the mounting plate. From there, it's a simple matter of installing the provided wing nuts and that part is done. Again, the directions were a bit ambiguous on this, but it isn't hard to figure out once you see the parts and compare to the drawing. This product is really well designed and seems well made. It was a good purchase, in my opinion.

I own a Bio Bidet BB200 for many years. My downstairs toilet does not have a near power outlet, so I have been postponing installing one there for a while. I decided to go with a "cheap" bidet and it was a great decision. Is ti as good as the BB2000? No. Mind that it is 10% of the BB2000 price. Is the BB2000 10x better than this one. No. I would say that this one is a better value for the money than the BB2000. Having said that, it is not perfect, but you can't expect that at this price point. Here are the good things about it. + Easy to install + Great price + Works as described and as expected + Fits ok (more on that later) + No need for power + Soft close lid (did not expect it at this price) + Seem durable - had it for 5 months now. What could be better? - My toilet is a Kohler and this seat fits, but just barely. That is, the seat is shorter than the toilet. It would be great if they would offer two different sizes or so. I realize it may create a nightmare as people would order the wrong one. Still, for my toilet, the seat could be about 1.5 inches longer, which would be great. - The nozzles slide in an out, but essentially they have two positions. Full retracted when not in use and fully extended when in use. Also, since there are two of them, each ends up shooting water at a slight angle, rather than straight. You end up getting more wet that you need to and also having to wiggle to make sure the water washes where needed. Of course, this varies with everyone's anatomy. One way to improve would be to have the nozzles replaceable. Then sell shorter or longer or tilted (to a side) nozzles and people would use the ones that fit them best. I think it would not be a major mechanical change. - The seat cover is slow closing (which is great), but the back of the seat gets so close to the tank that the seat cover barely stands straight. This could be unique to my toilet, although I mounted it as far as possible from the tank. Compared to the BB2000 + The lack of warm water or seat warmer is not an issue for us. Granted we live in TX now. It was a godsend in the winters when we lived up North. + Easier to reach an operate than the fancy remote control + Not missing the air dry feature of the BB2000, as I never really though that one work well anyway. + Better seat design than the BB2000. The BB2000 has a sizable gap between the seat and an rim of the toilet. For men, in some cases, it is not unlikely to inadvertently "aim" for that gap when seated, which results in unwanted splashing outside. The Aqua Wash has a larger lip inside that covers said gap. - Miss the adjustable length of the spray nozzle. - The seat is smaller than the BB2000, yet not by much. All in all - great product for the price. I would pay double if the few issues I mentioned would be addressed.

Overall I like this new seat. I like that it has the bidet feature incorporated, has the slow close feature on the seat and the lid, and has a clean look. My old setup was an add on bidet that mounted under a standard seat. Comparing this one to the $17 add on bidet I picked up years ago, the nozzle on this unit to me seems like it pips out to far forward and the angle of the spray doesn't hit the mark without moving around a bit. The spray on this new seat is a much more comfortable spray pattern, however it does not have the pressure power the cheap add on did on setting 2. The last thing that I don't love about this seat is the opening is smaller and the seat feels different underneath you if you are use to a standard seat. The bidet section at the back of this seat definitely looms to take up a lot of seat space, and I am not sure why. Overall, these issues are fairly minor and some of them are just because it is different from I have been use to. Lastly, the install of this seat really is pretty easy and straight forward and the quick release and slow close features are a nice touch.

The seat arrived a day early and was very easy to install. Everything fit perfectly and no leaks but make sure you tighten more than hand tighten on the bidet hose fittings covered by plastic. Where the bidet seat hose fits on the adapter I would push the plastic cover onto the adapter first then screw the metal fitting onto the adapter by hand and tighten with a wrench although not too tight - about 1/2 to 3/4 turn past hand tighten. You can slip the plastic cover partially back onto the metal fitting after tightening. I found it too easy to potentially cross-thread the fitting onto the plastic adapter if you tried doing it with the plastic cover covering the fitting. I have a Kohler toilet and the seat fits it perfectly. I didn't find the paper template particularly helpful. It was much easier to install the base plate snugly and adjust it accordingly by snapping the seat onto it in different positions until it fits where you want it then tighten it down. The seat easily snaps onto the base plate and comes off with a push of a button on the side. The connection hose is long enough that I was able to run it through the hole in the back of the toilet and back around to the adapter making it a much more elegant install rather than seeing the hose all twisted by the side of the toilet. The wands work perfectly and there's plenty of adjustable water pressure depending on how far you move the lever. I fully expect to be using a lot less paper and being much cleaner than with paper or wipes. BTW the cold water isn't such a big deal once you get used to it which won't take long.

This is my second bidet toilet conversion and one that Im going to recommend to everyone getting started. Install takes about 15 minutes: remove your old seat and the fittings, shut off the inflow to the tank, flush to drain the tank, install the mounting bracket (its adjustable to make sure you line it up exactly where you want to) slide the seat onto the bracket, disconnect the tank, install a coupler and make sure all your connections are hand tight and dont leak. the seat has a lever on the right hand side with a very positive click when in the off position, one way for your front side (if so equipped) and the other for your backside. Turn it on, dial up the pressure until you are comfortable and you are left cleaner than toilet paper or wet wipes. Dry off with a square of TP. The nozzles are billed as self cleaning and you can see that before they get into posistion water actually flows over it just it case you managed at some point to nozzles, so its very clean. the instructions also suggest using an old soft bristle toothbrush to periodically scrub the heads in case you have hard water to prevent clogging. the seat itself is pretty great, it sits flush with the bowl and can be disconnected with a push of a button to clean the tim under it without having to disconnect the water. its also one of those "no slam" seats where it will softly fall down from the upright position. Honestly, this is probably the most economic bidet model I would suggest people bother with. American standard has been doing plumbing/toilets forever and this shows on this things engineering, and while this is their no frills model, I suspect it will last nearly as long as the toilet its hooked up to. If you want other features like a vibrating seat or heated water, you will need a more expensive model, but I think for most people this is the option to have.

The technology for these is not commonplace so if it not just right, it probably means you should hire new mechanical design engineers. I happen to have an American Standard brand toilet, so I figured this would be the best fit. The good: it works and the dual switch is east to locate and use. The bad: the fit and size are comical. The opening, literally the size of the opening in the seat is really small, like for a child's butt. What are they thinking? Second, the whole thing is an about two inches short. I have an oval toilet, and got the oval seal and it's the same brand; how could it not be a good fit? if you install the seat so the opening is aligned with the back of the toilet bowl, it does not sit well on the front. As I said, the opening is so confined you will be worried about getting the alignment just right. Lastly, they used the typical metal female threaded 3/8 water supply line (nut) but used soft white plastic for the male supply attachment (on the seat). If you don't get it lined up just right (and it's really tight in there because of poor design), the sharp metal nut threads will strip the plastic male side and you can throw the whole thing away. Bottom line: this must have been made specifically for unusually small economy toilets - if you have a larger nicer toilet, even American Standard brand (like I do) it too small. We also own the Kohler K-5724-0 (Puretide Elongated Manual Bidet Toilet Seat), also purchased on Amazon. It's a perfect fit and well put together. It's more expensive, about $100. We should have just got another of those.

This seems to have less pressure but more volume of water than the electrically power version, I assume that is because there is no booster pump with this model. It also deploys the wands faster than the electric version when you move the lever. It looks like water pressure is what moves the wands out instead of being moved by a motor. Overall, although the water is colder than the electric one, due to no heater, it works just as well and at a significant cost savings.

This item is awesome...bear with me. This review will be worth the read. I stepped outside this a.m. to walk my daughter to the bus stop and noticed the bidet sitting on my front patio. "Oh, joy! My bidet has arrived!" I thought to myself. A terrible case of highly contagious rotavirus caught after the recent eclipse at friend's house inspired this purchase. It was such a horrible, explosive case of GI illness that it caused the ONLY instance of hemorrhoids I've ever had in my life. Not even natural childbirth had brought about hemorrhoids for me. Anywho...fast forward to after my daughter was safely on the bus. I briskly walked home, grabbed the bidet package, tore it apart in an excited frenzy, commenced to read the installation instructions and began to install this bad boy. Who am I kidding? Lol! I was too excited to read through the entire two pages of instructions, so I got to work right away...then I hit a snag. :( I had a non-flexible tube that fed into my toilet tank and could not continue with the installation. So, off to Lowe's I went!!! I got to my local Lowe's, found a helpful employee named Keith who works in the plumbing department, he hooked me up with what I needed right away, I paid the cashier (made sure to get my military service discount), sped off for home and immediately picked up where I left off. And I'll tell you, installation was a breeze. I adjusted the hoses and made sure there weren't any leaks then I got down to testing the bidet nozzles with the lid open...and was impressed! Water shot outside of my toilet bowl and completely across the bathroom where it splattered against my wall! Impressed and excited are the two adjectives to describe my feelings at the time. This bidet has cleaning power! It's a veritable jet stream of CLEAN! I ran water through the lines a couple more times to ensure clean, clear water was running through them then I took my proper place upon thy throne and tested it out....wow. Pleased doesn't even begin to describe how using the bidet felt. I feel taller, stronger, faster, amazing... I will tug on Superman's cape. I will spit into the wind. I will pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger AND I will mess around with Jim because this bidet is AMAZING.

The advertised measurements clearly show it should fit up to 8 1/2" from center to center of the posterior holes in the toilet; however, the baseplate is only 8" wide - it's impossible to fit 8 1/2" wide holes! My toilet is 8 1/2". DOES NOT FIT SIZE ADVERTISED. I don't even get a refund because I trusted the advertised instructions and waiting to install because I was on vacation. Really messed up.

I love it. I would never go back to the hand shataff. The hardware is included and it's really high quality. Includes the hose and all the adapters for the toilet.

Es un producto de muy buena calidad y tiene 2 chorros disparadores (entiéndase para limpiar adelante en el caso de las mujeres y atras para los 2 géneros), los tubos que disparan el agua se esconden una vez apagado el chorro y queda el retrete sin ningún tubo a la vista, es importante resaltar que el agua sale a temperatura ambiente, no tiene la función de regular la temperatura del chorro de agua. La higiene, limpieza y el ahorro del papel higiénico es considerablemente buena, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Works perfectly

This is an excellent product and easy to install. It has two (cold-water) sprayer options: one is more unidirectional; one has a gentler wider spray. The cold water is not uncomfortable. The seat requires no electrical connection. The water feeder pipe connects to same valve that fills your regular toilet. I opted to purchase an extra chrome T adapter to help regulate the water pressure going into the water feeder line. I separately ordered the “Metal Bidet T Adapter, 3-Way,” which I used to replace the cheap plastic T-adapter that comes with the toilet and does not regulate water pressure. It is useful, especially if your house has strong water pressure. Installation was easy on our American Standard elongated “Cadet” model toilet, however, I dislike the short plastic water connector on the left side of seat, where the water line connects. The plastic connector is too short and the threads could easily shred if it is cross-threaded. The connection needs to be perfectly aligned. I had a leak the first time, then disassembled and realigned the two pieces perfectly. A small piece of Teflon plumber’s tape could be added if the connection drips a bit or got cross-threaded. My connection is perfect now. It is best to hand-tighten all connections, without any tools. The sprayer lever on the seat is durable plastic (but I would have preferred metal). I highly recommended this product!
