Puretide Non- Electric Bidet Seat for Round Toilets in White

I first reviewed this bidet on Mar 21, 2017. I sense replaced it with a heated one. This is not to imply that there is anything wrong with this bidet. It is just that the water in my house is too cold to be comfortable. Just something to keep in mind. Original review: The decision on recommending this was a hard one. There are a lot of good features, but also some drawbacks. Overall, the drawbacks slightly outweigh the advantages. The first drawback is the installation. The design of the mounting plate that mounts to the toilet does not match the illustration in the instruction. The improved design give you more adjustment for variations in hole location. But they use rectangular "washers" that tend to fall into the slots in the mounting plate. You end up having to hold them in place, and tighten the nuts underneath the toilet seat instead of being able to use a screwdriver on the screws. Once you have the nuts snug, you can then use a screwdriver. Because of the design of the nuts, you are going to have to go back and tighten the screws several times. The T fitting that screws to water inlet also gave me problems. The first thing was that it hadn't been assembled tightly, and came apart. I have to reattach the nut to the body. The next problem I had was trying to get it to thread on properly. The pipe coming out of the toilet is old plastic, and the T would not thread on all the way. I ended up replacing the fill valve assembly, and they it worked. Hooking the water ling to the seat is also a challenge because of the filter. There isn't much thread to work with until you get the gaskets compressed. I don't especially like the toilet seat. It blocks the back part of the bowl, making cleaning more difficult. It isn't a standard design, so replacement may be a problem. You also end up sitting a bit more towards the front, putting my "plumbing" too close to the front of the bowl for proper operation. Time for an elongated toilet? On the plus side, the controls are easy to use. It does a good job of cleaning. I especially like that you can change where the water hits. You can also control the water flow. You have a choice of jets, so you can pick the one that works best for your water pressure. One feature that may not be important to you is the amount of space on the side of the toilet for the controls. This was important to me because I have limited room between the toilet and the vanity. I tried a bidet that mounted under a standard toilet seat, but the controls hit the vanity. The removal of the seat from the mounting plate is easy - just a push of the button. But you are limited on where you can move it unless you disconnect the water line. While this bidet works well. But unless you have space constraints, there are other products that don't have as many disadvantages.

Matches my Kohler toilet well and was fairly easy to install. Not too many places to collect gunk, so should be easy to keep clean. Seat opening is a bit tight, creaks a bit while sitting on it, and there is quite a big of play between the seat and mounting plate. At this price point, I think it should come with a braided supply line. Still, seems like a good seat, overall.

Easy to install and works great!

This is the third Kohler Bidet I have purchased ...and I've recommended it to everyone I know. Easy to install and looks sleek, modern and upgrades any bathroom. There are several after market bidet attachments on the market but none beat this one.

The seat and bidet functions like it should and install was simple. The opening in the seat is way too small! I am a 5’11” 230lb man, not a huge guy by any means, and i can barely get my “parts” pointed down inside the bowl! The seat and lid seem more flimsy than the original Kohler seat we removed. This thing is getting returned! This seat was installed on a new Kohler highline round toilet (very common) i expected this seat to fit better.

I really like this product. It was easy to install and is very easy to use. I've never been more comfortable. My son is a medical student. A surgeon who specializes in that area said that if everyone used one of these, there would be many fewer patients for his services.

We bought this about three weeks ago and just love it. So much so that my wife wants a second one for another bathroom. Installation is simple and painless, but I did have to get a different supply tube because the original one was solid metal and would not fit because of the T-valve. But that's not a real issue. Good points are a) it really really does clean your bottom better than toilet paper--clean and sanitary and no more "kling-ons" if you get my meaning; b) the temperature of the water is not a problem because it is basically room-temperature and feels refreshing. I'd thought about a warm water version but unless it is electrically heated with a built-in reservoir, the warm water option is going to use the same cool water in the lines until the heated water gets to the bidet. You never would use enough water in cleaning to reach that point where the warm water arrives (I think it uses less than 1/2 a pint per wash). c) toilet paper usage drops dramatically because all you need is a small amount to "dry" rather than wipe. I think the only negative is that the spray doesn't really reach the forward feminine area as well as my wife hoped, but then we haven't tried any of the additional nozzles that came with it. I seriously believe bidets should be standard equipment in American bathrooms. They are more sanitary, cleaner, and very easy to use.

We are really happy with the bidet and this was an excellent choice.

Well designed with bidet & slow close seat together. The bidet handle makes it easy to aim and select water pressure. It reminds me of a trolling motor control on a fishing boat. Installing it took about 25 minutes with basic hand tools. I really like the one button seat removal, it makes cleaning easy. The only thing I don't like is the hole is smaller than any other seat I've used.

Why are bidets not standard equipment on every toilet? My bum has never felt so clean! Honestly, I'd never seen a bidet in real life, but recent health issues got me to consider one. This Kohler unit is very easy to install; I managed it in ten minutes during my lunch break with only a screwdriver and a small wrench. It looks nice, is comfortable for me to sit on, cleans effectively, and it feels so great! I was concerned about the non-heated water at first, but that does not seem to be a problem. The water is typically room temperature, and the cool water feels refreshing. I've tried all three nozzle options, and to me the soft spray seems nicest and still cleans well with our city water pressure. Both the seat and lid have soft closing mechanism, which is nice when adjusting during the night and you want to be quiet. The main issues revolve around the wide plastic seat – wide enough to be pretty comfortable but leaves a smaller hole than wooden seats. The back is raised, apparently to make room for the spray mechanism, and it forces a different seating position than I'm used to. My wife says that for her it is not very comfortable at all. The seat hinge squeaks when you sit down or shift your weight, and while it's not loud it sure feels loud in the middle of the night. The creaks and groans make it feel like the seat is straining under the weight of the occupant. I can imagine upgrading someday to an electric model with heated water and a blow dryer, but for now and for the price this non-electric model is a wonderful addition to our house.
