First off, I bought this bidet because I'm a gadget type of person. I didn't buy it because I needed it. I'm into home automation, home theater, touch faucets, etc. I've heard of bidets and how popular they are in other countries, and how everyone was always amazed at how no one in the US has them and how amazing they were to use. So I guess I'm looked at as an early adopter (or nut job) by my friends who know I have this bidet.
I have a toilet closet off my main bathroom and there weren't any outlets installed, so I had to tear into the walls and install a new GFCI outlet. Luckily I was able to do this myself. Some may need to hire an electrician. After I had the outlet in there, installation was simple. It took 15 minutes or so to put the seat mount on and hook up the water hose, and the bidet slid right into the mount.
The first time I sat down I wasn't quite sure what to expect. There is a skin sensor that senses when the seat is occupied, and as soon as you sit down a little fan turns on to "deodorize". There is no scent or chemical you install, so I think this is just a fan that turns on, possibly to keep the smell in the bowl.
When you first push one of the several wash options on the remote, you hear the little motor spin up that pushes the sprayer out, and then you hear water start to drip as it gets to the end of the sprayer. Now at this point, as a first time user, there's no turning back. You better sit there and take whatever comes. And not knowing at all what to expect, this might be a little scary.
The first few seconds, you feel a little bit violated. Then once that little shock wears off, you start to feel a little better, and by the end of your spray, you wonder how you ever went without this. I now look forward to going to the bathroom.
Once your spray session is over, you push the dryer button, and a little blow dryer door opens up and blows warm air.
I was a little concerned that the spray wouldn't get everything clean. But after several sessions, and wiping afterwards, there's never been anything on the toilet paper.
The only "knock" I'd have on this is that it doesn't get you completely dry after the blow dry session. So I have to use a little toilet paper to finish drying.
My husband purchased this bio bidet several months ago and loves it. It functions well, but I find it a bit cumbersome visually, and don't like the hoses/wires that show.
Unit works as advertised. eliminates need to reach difficult areas to clean oneself being physically challenged. The only problem I have is that I need an elongated seat because of my size and when the bidet is installed the opening becomes standard size. Als the little plastic flaps covering the nozzles both broke ff with use and disappeared down the drain. However they do not seem to effect te operation of the bidet.
I HAVE FOUR BIDETS IN MY MY HOME. THIS Bio-Bidet IS BUILT WELL. AESTHETICALLY PLEASING . THE Water PRESSURE BASED ON A FORMER BIO-BIDET Purchase is subpar..New Bliss.Water pressure is weak. Plumber checked.Additional expense. Overall, great product , durability, remote hieroglyphic controls, aesthetic great retrofit. Needs some fine tuning . Not my first choice but certainly well made.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from biobidet.comBy James, BioBidet Support, August 5, 2016
We appreciate your feedback. The technology on the BLISS series is the most advanced on demand water heating system; which offers effective cleaning results, using a more aerated stream of water.
Since the water stream incorporates more air in the delivery, it does feel softer; however, we assure you the cleaning results are equal if not greater than traditional heated water tank bidet seats. If you have any questions, please let me know.
I bought this several months ago and love it, actually notice the difference when I travel and not at home with my BioBidet. Wasn't sure how it would work, heard a lot about it from others and tried it. Instantly became a great needed bathroom fixture.
