A week ago on the Come for Tea thread, I mentioned I had ordered a very economical bidet that one of our moderators (Richard) had recommended. It is called a Luxe Bidet MB320. It does not require electricity to hook up and run. It cost about $68 on Amazon--plus shipping. Richard has the less technical model that just hooks up to cold water and he loves it, but I ordered the MB320 as I figured we were too sissy to cope with cold water only so got the one that hooks up to both the cold and hot water.
It arrived two days ago, but since hubby didn't seem very motivated to install it I forced the issue by walking by him with the bidet carrying a butter knife and nail scissors. After being married 43 years, I knew this would get him off his butt and take over<LOL>. In a nutshell, it is a great buy! It took us a little over half an hour to install it. Hubby has an atrophied weak right hand so I did the tightening of things once he got the fittings organized. It has good water pressure and does a great job, has a spray nozzle for the bum and a spray nozzle for the front area for women. With hubby's atrophied hand he found it hard to give his butt a good wipe. This dandy bidet does a good thorough wash.
The advertisement said it fitted two piece toilets only, but I emailed Luxe Bidet and said we have a one piece older Toto Ultimate. A very nice fellow responded within 5 minutes and said it had an 85% chance of fitting our one piece. And it did fit just fine. So if you can't afford an electrician in to put in a separate circuit with GFI and then pay minimally $400.00 for a bidet this seems a dandy way to go. Your toilet will need to be within about 4 feet of your hot water hook up at the sink to work easily on this model. I give it a five star rating thus far. It perhaps looks a little cheap compared to a Toto, but is actually quite sturdy.
