Customer Reviews for American Standard Advanced Clean 1.0 Slow Close SpaLet Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilet in White

The Advanced Clean AC 1.0 Slow Spalet Electric Bidet Seat For Elongated Toilet in White is another fine quality American Standard product. As I have gotten older, there are certain cleanliness issues I am not willing to compromise. This toilet seat helps maintain my standard. It is a great quality for the price. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but I don’t need a toilet seat that sings to me. The water tank is large enough to heat sufficiently to get the job done. The spray adjusters are excellent, especially for a multiple hinny household. It was easy to install and I really liked that all plumbing parts are of a good quality and included. I am recommending this to all my friends. It’s a must have!

This seat is designed to fit on most elongated toilets and I had no issues mounting on mine. The bidet seat is entry level with most basic features. It does not have an external remote or a drying feature. Installation was not very difficult and took me around 45 minutes to get it ready. I had to install a GFCI outlet near the toilet seat as the extension cable is not practical and is unsightly too. The outlet installation is an additional cost you should keep in mind and this may be significant $ in depending on where you live. The control panel is very basic and easy to use. The bidet has two spray positions for regular bidet and feminine hygiene. Spray strength and nozzle distance is adjustable depending on personal preference. The seat and water temperature can be adjusted as well, which is a great feeling in the present cold weather. The only thing I did not like about this product was the controller on the side, which is not as convenient as a remote on the wall. I would still recommend this product as other than this drawback, its a great bidet seat.

Advanced Clean AC 1.0 Slow Close SpaLet Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilet in White by American Standard (a subsidiary of Lixil in Japan) Packaging: External – Cardboard box Internal – Double cardboard box container Contents: Toilet seat with bidet components, various fitting, supply hose and instructions First Impressions: Looks interesting but must try to know its value. Description: This is a toilet attachment that replaces the toilet seat and adds the functions of a bidet. It requires an electric receptacle to supply needed power, but taps into the existing toilet's water supply line to receive the necessary clean water flow. It has a built in heater for both the seat and the water. There is a side panel with all the controls. Usage: This unit was installed on the Glacier Bay 2-piece 1.1 GPF/1.6 GPF High Efficiency Dual Flush Complete Elongated Toilet in White, Seat Included , Model# N2316. The instructions are in the form of a manual and have plenty of diagrams and spacing between steps to eliminate confusion. I found them very helpful and an example of what instructions should be. The basic concept here is that one removes the exiting seat/cover after measuring the bowl mounting points to make sure of compatibility. After that, the assembly is fairly straight forward. There was one problem and that was the mounting plate. First of all, if looking carefully at the first pages, there is a picture of the anchors showing the direction they go in to the base. Then the black strips of the mounting base goes downward. Next the plastic holder strip teeth go into the teeth of the mounting base and the screws go into that. Make sure to use some liquid soap to press the anchors down into the toilet bowl mounting holes to make them slide in easily. These were the only missing steps in pictures. The tricky part is adjusting the mounting base forward to where the front of the seat meets the front of the bowl properly. You will be loosening and re-tightening those screws a few times to get it just right. What will throw you off is that the back of the unit is bulky so one might think that getting it as close to the tank is the ideal. However, such is not the case. Which leads me to the next issue. The unit is claimed to be for an elongated bowl, but I found that it takes up way too much of the bowl space toward the back and the benefits of an elongated bowl are lost for the most part. Between the front edge of the back of the unit and the edge of the bowl opening in the back is a wasted overlap of three inches. Worse yet, there were almost two full inches between the back of the unit and the tank, and this is also wasted space. In this, the unit is not up to par. The next step is simply plugging it into the power and trying it out. You will hear some clicking and then the little fan will come on to deodorize the air when first supplying power and water pressure to it. Follow the steps to test the water flow. That part is very easy. The functions only work when someone is sitting on the seat, except for the warming of the seat and water. The seat stays nicely warm and can be appreciated in the winter time. I did not like the seat when used on a chair-height toilet. It is more appropriately designed for a low style bowel. There is no choice on where one can position on the seat. It is shaped in the back to stop a person from sliding rearward. This one issue is why a regular seat will feel much more roomy. In use, the device does what one might expect, but there is no magic bullet here. The controls are hard to use because the touch pad is on the right only and somewhat rearward. It is difficult to see them and to reach them as you might wish. The controls should have rested on an telescoping arm to bring them forward. If you feel as though you want a second cycle, the warm water will run out. The ability of the movement of the nozzle forward and back is useful for preferred positioning, however I found that moving side to side to position the spray in the right location opened up the back for over-spray on the seat and other parts. Joystick positioning would have been better. The massage function seems to have no value. A bidet is not a toilet paper saving device, as one must still dry off and usually use more paper as otherwise. Further, when wiping the an*s (HomeDepot will not allow the whole word here), one may find that once in a while the cleaning was not as deeply done as one would want. You would like the soft closer function for lowering the seat and cover. Very nice. However, when sitting on the cover, the system does not know that the cover is down and subsequently turns on the fan. It is evident that this is the 1.0 version. Overall Thoughts: There is no doubt that the toilet mounted bidet is far better than separate devices. However, this is not the best add-on for that. It is far better to have a toilet with the bidet designed as part of it. And this brings up another issue of what to do with composting toilets; this may not work there because of the added water.

My wife has been wanting to try a bidet toilet for a while, but the full toilet was out of our price range. This is a more affordable way of get many of the same features. It offers a heated seat and heated water. No drying or auto open/close lids. It fits on elongated toilets and provided everything needed to hookup to the existing toilet water line and a nearby outlet (40" or closer). In a week of use, the only missing feature we would want is heated drying. But at this price point, we can't really complain.

Where to start? I have no shame and this bidet is amazing. I’m a clean freak and do not know how I’ve lived without this miraculous wonder for 37 years. It comes with everything you need for the install including a Tee for the water supply and mounting hardware. It comes with two compression rubber inserts. The only way I could get them in was to add soap to them and then slid them in. Most toilet areas do not have an outlet so there are two choices. You can run an extension cord like I did for a week or install an GFCI outlet near the toilet. I eventually installed an outlet and have pictures of both options. You do need 120V power. The water is heated, the seat is heated and there are multiple positions for the spray as well as a massage spray option with is just pulsating. Another great feature is it has a deodorizer which, surprisingly works well! I’ll end it with this, don’t knock it until you try it!

Bring your toilet to the 21st Century! So amazing! It has seat temp, water temp, spray strength, nozzle positioning, etc! I got this model for the toilet I have in my house. The installation of the seat was simple. The only difficulty was that we do not have an electrical outlet nearby. I will be installing a dedicated outlet for this but for now an extension cord plugged into a GFCI is working well. The water connection was easy, too. I turned off the water at the valve and flushed the toilet and let the water run out while holding the handle. I put a towel on the floor and removed the supply line from the tank. I screwed the connector to the tank, aligned the connection and tightened the connector. I then connected the supply line to the connector and connected the supply line to the horizontal connection and turned the water back on. If you are having trouble, it is always best to call a qualified plumber!

Using more than 6 months and love it. It would be great if warm air functionality and night light are there.

Very happy, an excellent choice!

I have had to adjust the flow to maximum. Also as medium level water temperature was too cool, I had to up the temperature to high.

Love it!

I bought this bidet when my old one, a different brand, died after several years. This one has its advantages and disadvantages. First, the water pressure seems to be greater than my old one and really does seem to do a better job of cleaning. On the down side, however, the hot water does not last as long as my old one did, and I am left with a cold stream of water pretty quickly. Also, the pressure detector on the seat is much more sensitive than my old one, so that moving my body even a small amount shuts off the flow. All in all, however, I am satisfied with this bidet.

Easy to install, works well. Priced significantly lower than many units with similar features.

The function is good though it took a little user training and I wish the the jets were a little more aimable. The aesthetics are pretty poor in my opinion. This thing is HUGE and it just looks like a medical device. What the photo doesn’t show you is a big ugly cord. Depending on where your nearest outlet is, it can be pretty unsightly. The controls are not self-explanatory which means it’s tricky for guests to use. It’s probably best for a private bathroom.

Highly recommended

Liked it even before the toilet paper hoarding began

This Bidet Seat is Fabulous and works way better than expectations. I am Super Satisfied with it's Performance. One of the best buys I've ever made. Saves 75% of my TP use.

Works better than my other bidet toilet seat, but runs out of warm water fast.

The first thing that needs to be said before purchasing this item is that a GFCI outlet needs to be installed near the toilet for it to work. As this is my first time installing one of these toilet seats, I had no idea. I should have looked at the video first. I have not seen any toilets with an electrical plug nearby so I'm pretty sure this is something that will need to be installed for everyone who buys this unless the newer homes come with it. I am pretty handy and was able to install one by my self for not to much more money but I can see someone paying an electrician a lot of money for this work. In the end,(no pun intended) it's worth it. Very green for the environment and bottom line, (pun intended) it's more healthier. This American Standard Advanced Clean AC 1.0 Slow Close SpaLet Electric Bidet Seat for Elongated Toilet in White is easy to install and set up (once the outlet is installed) and looks nice, huge butt nice.

This American Standard Advanced Clean AC Bidet Toilet Seat is a quick, easy, and affordable way to enjoy all the features of an electric bidet without all the work or money. I previously owned a bidet seat of another brand and I had an intelligent toilet in a past home. The intelligent toilet was amazing but they are expensive. This bidet seat has nearly every feature but at a small fraction of the price. Installation is straight forward and simple. The only issue is the need for an GFCI outlet. I was able to tap into another outlet and do a wall drop to create the outlet needed for this. As for function, this bidet seat has tons of options. I tend to keep my home on the cool side in the winter but no one likes to sit on a cold toilet seat. The heated seat alone makes this worth the money. In addition you can select spray strength, nozzle positions, seat temperature, and water temperature. There's also a Eco mode and even a message setting. While there are no cons, there are a few things to note. This model has the controls attached to the side of the seat. People come in all sizes so this may not be practical for large people. The model with the wall mounted remote would be a better option. Lastly, I would have liked a night light that illuminates the bowl, but I'll survive. Anyway, bidets are slowly catching on in the US. For those that are interested, this is a way to give it a try without breaking the bank.

This is an awesome product. It comes with a remote control to use with it. The seat is heated also. It has several different options on it. You can easily remove the seat so you can clean the toilet easily. The bidet also features a massage option which is really great. There is also a deodorizer that automatically starts once you sit down on it and stops when you stand up. This feature can be turned off if you want to. We love it!!

I am disabled and my lower back is fused so it is impossible for me to clean myself with the normal method. I desperately needed a Bidet and I can say that it has changed my life because I do not need to depend on anyone else. The seat is comfortable and the controls are easy to use. The water can be adjusted to suit your needs and the nozzles and seat have a Antimicrobial coating so they stay clean. The seat is removable so cleaning is not a issue. I had to hire a electrician for the electrical part and my daughter installed it for me. I have used a hand held Bidet for years but the water was so cold it would actually hurt me so this is the way to go.
