Grace Bidet GB 130 - Self Cleaning Nozzle - Fresh Water Non-Electric Mechanical Bidet Toilet Attachment (blue and white)

This is a GREAT bidet in my opinion. I've never used a different bidet to compare, but I'll try to explain all the pro's and con's.Pros: - I could not find another bidet that had all the features of this bidet for anything less than 2X the cost of this bidet. - Many bidet have only cold water inputs - this bidet has both hot and cold. - Many bidet's do not have but one single set of nozzles for cleaning, where this bidet has two sets, one for rectal cleaning, and one for vaginal rinsing. - This has a self-cleaning feature (water feeds in from the HOT side to clean when you press the button). - The price point on this bidet is amazingly low for the benefit you receive. - If you have stool issues such as low fiber and (forgive my language) "forever wipes" where you just never seem to be able to get clean until your rectum is raw, this is a lifesaving device. You can easily and quickly clean the exterior, and with a little repositioning and increase in pressure, you can also clean the first inch or so of the rectal cavity getting a thorough clean. - If you suffer from rectal itching, this can also help. Rectal itching is often a self-perpetuating issue. You get abrasions/tears in the skin that cause a histamine reaction causing an itch. The more you wipe or scratch, the more you aggravate the skin, and you cause new abrasions and tears that perpetuate the histamine/itching reaction. This allows you to rise clean with water without ever touching the skin. I guess if you use just COLD water in the winter, you could even numb the itch. - Save money on toilet paper - when you are done just pat yourself dry with 4-6 squares of toilet paper and you're done. - save on clogged toilets. My 6 YO loves that part because she overflowed my brother's toilet once and it scarred her. For ages she was afraid to flush in fear of overflowing the toilet again. Kids are awesome!Cons: - The instructions could be expanded on some. - The instructions don't say this, but if you don't have hot water hooked up, the self-cleaning portion will not work. This ONLY works with the water turned to 100% hot water. If you don't use hot water, just run your cold water into the hot side and you can still use this feature.Just a fact of life: - Once you install this bidet, the back of the toilet seat lid is raised about 1/2 inch. I saw another reviewer noticed the seat tilting forward. Personally, I cannot tell the difference, but short of buying a toilet with a built in bidet or drilling small holes into the feet in the front of the toilet seat and raising it slightly, it is what it is. As I said, for me, I didn't notice it at all, but without altering the existing seat, I'm not sure what could be done about this. - Some toilet seats have different sleeves that may secure the seat so it doesn't wiggle. Mine does, have spacers inside the holes securing the seat and it did not affect my installation at all, but it did for some other reviewers. - If you don't have a sink or hot water source fairly close, you'll likely need to get a longer tube. This bidet comes with about 10' of hose (I think), and it was not quite enough for me as my sink is directly across from the toilet, so I'd have to route the hot water a ways to reach the bidet.Tips on installation: - Aside from an adjustable wrench. Actually, you should have 2 of them so you do not apply much force on plastic pipes...if you break a pipe from over torqueing and it is under the water shut off, you'll have quite a mess. - You will need the Teflon tape. Wrap the tape in the same direction as the threads go when you tighten (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey). If you do not use Teflon tape, you will most likely end up with a leak. - Remove the toilet seat and take care to note where any washers are, and the orientation of any sleeves/spacers that are inside the holes that stop the seat from wiggling so you can get them back in place on the first try. - If you are not going to hook up the hot water side, connect the cold water to the hot water input. The self-cleaning option ONLY works with the hot water input. - Rough measure the length of white tube/hose before installing the bidet, and be sure to leave a little extra slack. - Slide the white thumbscrews over the hose...or you will have to slide it all the way up from the other end after you get the hose in place. - Connect the white hose for both the hot and cold water to the bottom of the bidet before installing. The hose is fairly stiff and it will take a fair amount of force to get the hose all the way over the nipple. Slide the thumbscrew into place and tighten. If you do all of this after the bidet is on the toilet it is not as easy, and if you put too much pressure you may damage the bidet (it takes a lot of pressure to get the hoses in place properly for me, and I'm 6'3", 230#). - Make sure you put the large black rubber washers over the top of the bidet when you are putting the seat bolts through the bidet. - Do not fully tighten the nuts/bolts for the seat. Test the positioning of the water jet and see if it is optimal. If it is not, you can move the bidet to any of the other positions to adjust the aim. If your seat spacing is narrow enough, you may be able to adjust a little side to side, although my toilet was too wide to allow me to do this. - If you don't have access to hot water due to the design of the bathroom, you can put a 3-4 inch piece of tube on the cold water side and fill a couple inches of it with hot glue. If you leave one of the water inputs open, water will come out of it. Hot Water options: - If you don't have access to hot water easily, or if you are in an older home like mine where the hot water tank is outside in a little side building and it would take forever to get hot water to the bidet, there are options. - Gas instant water heater - Eccotemp L5 Portable Tankless Water Heater and Outdoor Shower - https://www.amazon.com/Eccotemp-L5-Portable-Tankless-Outdoor/dp/B000TXOJQ4/ref=sr_1_15?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1481778661&sr=1-15&keywords=instant+hot+water - Gas instant water heater - Camplux 5L Outdoor 1.32GPM Portable Propane Gas Tankless Water Heater and Camping Shower, Lowest Water Pressure Startup - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJPU6JI?psc=1 - Propane tank (small) - [...] - Electric instant water heater - Tankless Electric Instant Water Heater, Under The Sink Low Level Water Heater 3.5 KW/240V - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M723DQJ?psc=1 - Electric instant water heater - EcoSmart 7.2 kW Electric Water Heater Booster Model # ECOTB240 - https://www.amazon.com/EcoSmart-Electric-Heater-Booster-ECOTB240/dp/B01M048QWD/ref=cm_rdp_product

I'm rating this for the quality at the price point. It is a 5 star bidet for under $30.I found the lack of reviews a bit specious, but it was the only one I found at the price point without significant complaints about the quality, durability and performance. So, I took a chance on it. I'm so very glad I did.It is a little light on installation instructions, but it has a diagram that tells you what all of the parts are for. I'm fairly handy, but have little experience with plumbing. That said, it only took me about 30 minutes to install, with no special tools necessary. That 30 minutes also included drilling a hole in 5/8" particle board to create a passage for the hot water line, which is time consuming. The hose and fittings for everything were really easy to put together.Usage is easy. I will say that I also wish that the hind end wash nozzle angled up slightly higher, but it's super easy to reposition your bum so that it hits it just right.Make sure you turn the water temp all the way over to hot and push the nozzle clean button until the bowl feels "steamy" to get the hot water to the bidet, and then switch the temp back down to the middle or just below, so you don't burn your tender parts.I will be recommending this model to my friends. You have to double the price tag in order to find something that will compete on quality.

I came back to write a review for this item. I have this bidet since last year. I had two installed in my house. Easy to install and connect. Never had a problem with it. Works very great and efficient, also you cannot beat the price cheap comparing to other types. High quality material, no leaks from any connection. It saves me a lot of money for buying toilet paper.

This is a nice bidet which is plumbed for both hot and cold water, alas, I have only access to cold. But I did not have to plug the hot as it must have a good one-way valve to keep from backflowing. So with only cold and pretty dismal water pressure, this acts more as a wet wipe than a true cleansing bidet. I am very happy to have it though and even though I couldn't find the instructions, it was pretty simple to install using the toilet water supply.

This item is easy to install, and works quite well. The water stream is a little diffused, so not as tight a stream as I would like. But other than that I have had no other issues with this unit.

I absolutely love it! I wish they make it so unit itself will convert cold water to warm water cause I had hard time running hot water line.

Relief for Hemorrhoids. Added stick on bumpers from Home Depot to the underside of existing toilet seat to make it level.

Won't fit my toilet. The far back holes are not far enough back to put the seat bolts through when the bidet is flat and nozzle is pushed back as far as it will go in the bowl. Poor design for that reason. If they would just extend the bracket back for one more set of holes, it would fit. Sending it back.
