I’ve got both an elongated bowl and a standard.
I bought 2 of the 180’s last time around, and they installed in a snap on both. One of my best purchases ever.
IF you’re on the fence, go for it. You’ll thank yourself.

This guy knows…it may seem odd but once you get one and use it, nothing will ever be the same. I have two in the house because one was not enough. The wife loves it and even came home early from a trip because she said she missed it. She mentioned nothing of missing me however…
Not sure about these, but I got one of those Brondell 1000’s last time it was on Woot! and I’m loving it. My booty hole has never felt better!

Yeah I keep seeing Woot selling these bidets. Can somone please enlighten me about these?
My first reaction was, ew gross, because if it fits down in your existing toilet structure then it seems like it would get dirty and gross. So, someone whose got one of these sell me on it. Because I want to try it, but I need a little convincing.
Well, they get a little dirty over time, but it’s nothing a disinfecting wipe won’t clean in a snap.
The nozzles themselves are protected behind a little shield that either pops open or the nozzles extend past it when in use, so they’re pretty protected from the filth.
I’d take wiping the apparatus down once a week over not having it. All day every day.

They don’t get nasty at all, unless you have explosive diarrhea, which in that case, a brush, some disinfecting cleaner, and a few wipes can’t take care of.
I keep my toilet pretty clean, but its awesome having water clean your b-hole.
One thing to note is that the 320 has both hot and cold water. The bidet itself does not heat the water. You need to run a supply line from an existing hot water line such as under the sink. This may or may not be convenient depending on how your bathroom is laid out.

Thanks for all the info, everyone!
Yeah - that’s another question I had - what’s the installation like on these things? I see they need water hookups, the hot water access would not be possible for my setup, but with the cold water access - does that require some kind of splitter off of the toilet’s water supply line? How much plumbing skills do I need?
And is all that much effort worth it just to be squirted in the ass with ice cold water? Sounds more like a college hazing prank that a desirable hygiene option.
And what all does it require of the toilet it’s being connected to? I looked at their website but they don’t go into detail. But it looks like the toilet would have to be taken apart.
Hmm, I’m not sure my cornhole is worth all that effort.
Are there other bidets that are easier to install? (no plumbing, no ripping the twatlet apart)
Thanks again, everyone, and happy bidet-ing!
The have a portable Bidet on Amazon for $10.00, it’s for traveling and it is similar to one that’s installed on your toilet. If you are curious on how it would feel this is a small investment. You’ll want a bidet once you’ve tried this.

I purchased a bio bidet elite 3 and I was the only one excited about this in my family .hook up easy . take seat off,put this under seat and rebolt seat.mine included a t and all hardware needed. Installation was like 10 min at best. Mine does not have hot water and I thought that was going to be a issue seeing how I live northeast. They explain it would take a constant 45 to 2 minute use to get the cold outside water. You end up getting not very cold ambient temp water in your lines . i wish mine had a butt dryer and im still getting my routine down but I love it ! If your on the fence get off and start getting a clean butt

Thanks again! You guys are all very convincing!
I just may have to take the plunge.
Do they work fine on all bowl shapes? I have an elongated bowl. (Yes, I know - so very “1%” of me to have a superior toilet bowl shape.)
And are there ever any aiming issues? Not everyone sits on the toilet the same way. I mean, it’s not like I ride it side saddle or anything, I just don’t want to end up washing my hair just because I sat an inch more forward than usual or something.

Yeah aim is weird but one once u get it u get it. Mine has a inside and outside nozzle label of a butt and a her cleanse. Like anything it a learning thing. If I lean forward with butt setting it get where it should then I use her setting sitting up as it is more of a mist to make sure um… Whole area is clean. Then use a small price of tp to ensure its clean. <- do this till u learn it or u will get itchy butt and well not cleanbutt . now I spray and pat a little to dry. 1 roll of tp last 3 days use to go through at least one a day. Me n her both can tell this is a cleaner option. When we play Dora the explorer adult version.if u wait for the biobidet I got that for like 28.00 I can load the manual if u want or can link the web sight it is very easy !

LOL! Thank you SO much for the very detailed usage information! Who knew talking about butts could be so much fun (and funny!)
This thing sounds like it could actually make bathroom time fun again - like potty training for adults.
Well Woot should pay you guys commission because I’m definitely in for one now!

Not sure on THIS particular model, but I installed a more complex washlet in my apartment in about 10min, including reading the instructions. I only needed a flathead screwdriver to get the old seat off. The rest was done by hand and consisted of:
- turning off the water supply
- flushing to toilet to clear the tank
- unscrewing the water hose from the tank (for me, by hand)
- Installing an included T valve (again, by hand in my case)
- Removing the old seat (2 screws)
- Attaching a mounting plate (by hand)
- sliding the bidet into the plate
- Connecting the hose from the T valve to the bidet
- Plugging it in
I only hand tightened mine, but since it wasnt leaking (and hasnt been for weeks), I just left it that way.
Having lived in Japan before I grew to love these, I was shy at first… but seriously I dont think I could go with cold water. My bidet has a heater (water and seat). The seat heater is nice, but not needed, the water heater is a must IMHO.
I really think these should be on practically every toilet, much more hygenic to spray stuff away with water than to smear it around with TP and hope you get most of it off. Bonus, if you ever have a bout of 'roids its a life saver. Same with spicy food <— ok, maybe cold water is useful sometimes…
So it seems like the one with cold water only is less of a pain to install. I would have major issues getting hot water to my bathroom since its on a slab…
Am I correct in thinking this?
I installed the Luxe Neo 180 (the cold water only version) about 6 months ago and love it. The toilet it’s installed on is pretty much the only one I will use now since I think the bidet is much more hygienic and effective than toilet paper alone. One of these days I plan on having an electric outlet installed near the toilet and get a real deal wash & dry toilet seat, but this does a great job for the price.
I don’t want to be too personal…but ever woman should have one of these (speaking as a woman myself) for all your freshening needs (think monthly). Soooo nice. I will say, ours seems to have a ridiculous amount of water pressure, so you need to use caution & only turn it on it’s lowest setting lest you feel like having your doody hole sandblasted with icicles…I guess some may like that. Other than that…we’ve had it a couple years now & all I can say is I wish we had it BEFORE I’d had my 1st baby. This made my postpartum care of our newest baby absolutely BRILLIANT. That icy water was exactly what I needed in those first few weeks. I have even now given one as a baby shower gift I was so thrilled with it. Not to mention, it is awesome for hemorrhoids as well, not that pregnant women get those or that i would know anything about it. I just hear that through the grapevine. Just sayin’.
We have one in each bathroom (cold water only) and we wouldn’t live without one now. My boyfriend installed ours in less than half an hour. We’ve had them for 2 years and he STILL remarks on how much cleaner he feels after using these. Definitely a “must have” in my opinion.
