We are wanting to get a bidet ( maybe two) for our Toto Drake oval toilets.

Looking to be educated on the pros and cons as well as what brands do you all like. I am at the stage where I can modify electrical and plumbing.

Thanks !

guy at work bought one when he was in Japan, and b brought it back. Apparently the features of the Japanese ones can't be beat.

sorry I don't know the brand, and I no longer work this this Bidet Buyer. My involvement was telling him that it would work in our 120V 60 Hz, per what I could read on the label.

I can't think of a single con, I love them. I've tried several brands(can't remember brand) that all broke within a year. I settled on the Toto Washlet....

And have been super happy with it. It's been going strong over a year now. I have them on all three of our toilets.
Pros: Adjustable pressure and location of the wand. Adjustable temp of water.Heated seat with adjustable temp. Adjustable fan speed on the dryer. All around good product.

I would just stick with Toto. There are secondary brands that may be decent but I would generally patronize a leadership company.

A rimshot should be appropriate here....

I wish I had thought of adding electrical outlets to our "water closets" when the house was being built. Not that I would have necessarily used them, but it would have been a good idea.

Bidet story:
When I moved into my apartment in Italy, the bathroom was a breathtaking experience. Had a door that opened onto a small balcony with a view of the Dolomites. I could sit on the crapper and watch the snow on the mountain! Across from the crapper was a small shallow sink with hot and cold faucets. I had no clue what the tiny sink was for, but it was perfectly positioned for me to put my feet into while I sat on the throne. Wonderful experience! My neighbor was in my SP squadron and had lived in country for quite a while. When I told him about my foot washer sink, he laughed hysterically and then told me what the little sink was actually used for. Embarrassing for me, but not enough to stop me washing my feet. I still miss that Bidet and always wanted another but never had the money to install it. Get one and wash your feet!

Nothing by Rain bird ,don't bother

My arse is supposed to squirt, not the toilet.

Lol, I wanted to ask about these awhile back but didn’t have the guts.

A couple family members bought a house recently and the previous owner set up all 3 bathrooms in the house as bidets. Over Thanksgiving several of us stayed over at the house for a couple days, so I got to try a bidet for the first time.

Their bidets are the Toto brand.

Even after being first warned, I still let out a little 'whooo!' the first (and only) time I tried the Super Soaker feature. Think that'll be the last time I use that little sensory surprise.

Can't say I'm completely sold on the concept, although if TP ever goes extinct again for a time, I could see it coming in handy.

One of the family members that lives in the house LOVES the heated seats, but otherwise doesn't like using bidets and she absolutely hates cleaning them.

About the only other minor annoyance I can remember when using them was that when the lid automatically opened it always hit the tank with a loud tap, and again when it closed it would strike the seat with a loud tap. Not a big deal, but when you've got a house full of sleeping guests I try to be ninja-like.

Something Close Encounters about seeing LED lighting coming out of the bowl in the middle of the night.

I'm on the really cheap side.... but am happy and so is my bottom;

Two slightly down sides... only cold water and I had to add a inline valve on mine to reduce the water pressure since it is 100lbs in my home. But we like it so much I have an extra I take and install in the rental house we use when at the beach.

Alright, the $30 off offer was enough to sell me on the concept. Gonna give it a try.

It should start playing at 1:28, but if it doesn't fast forward

Thank you all for your : constructive ideas, smart ass comments and especially to "tatortodd" for his Ron White video ... I loved it !

Gonna go with the Toto washlet bidet since we have all Toto elongate toilets and we are fans of Toto products.

I'm curious... Do these things have a reservoir of heated water to spray? I can't imagine having a jet of cold water sprayed on my...ummm...yeah, would be a pleasant experience.

Yes, from what I read the Toto washlet does have a heated reservoir.

Makes me wonder what you want to have as your preferred pronoun ...
