Bidet Meta Threas

Just sold my house of 30 years yesterday.  At the last second the buyers tell my agent that they assumed my Biobidet 2000 was going to stay.  I thought that rather odd, it's a pretty personal item and I'd probably rather get a new one if I was buying the house.  But, I guess it's kind of like a fixture so I figured I'd let them have it without making a big deal of it.  Do I replace the BB 2000 with the same model or do I spend a bit more and get something next level?  Is there even a next level up from the 2000?  Seems like it has a shit-ton (no pun intended) of features, can't imagine what a more expensive one would have to make it better.

Toto Neorest NX-1. $12,243 for pooping bliss.

Neo 120. No bitchassedness.

In Japan for the kids’ spring break. Our first hotel had a bidet toilet seat. Tickles at first (NTTWWT), but I’m definitely getting bidets for the house. Start with one in the downstairs bathroom, then the toilets upstairs when we do the renovation.

Not going to go through the entire thread, but any recommendations?

Bio Bidet 2000 is the most powerful on the market unless you're getting new toilets with built in bidets. 

I have a bio bidet 2000 in the master bath and Luxe Bidet Neo 85 on every other toilet in the house and guest house. The Luxe is basic, no frills, no heater, etc. 

I catch a lot of flak about being hoity-toity when we have guests, but that’s just an opportunity to evangelize about hygiene. As someone wiser than me said upthread (or maybe it was on the shag), when you step in dog crap in the yard, do you wipe it off with a paper towel and go on about your day?  Of course not. You go to the hose and wash it off. 
I can’t believe I walked this earth for over 40 years with a poop-smeared backside before discovering the shag’s bidet thread. We’re not barbarians, people.

Been watching Loudermilk on Netflix.  In a episode (season 3) I watched last night, one of the guys in the group is selling Toto's.  They mention how the Japanese have it down with not wiping their asses and how far US has fallen because we are still butt wipers.  Of course, I say this as an enlightened non butt wiper (at least at home.).

Caught the title only... but yep, bought a Swash in March of 2020 and it is one of the best if not the best thing I have ever bought.  I did have to drop electrical behind the toilet but it was all money well spent.  

Remote still has original batteries in it too.

This. I've got a 7 year old Toto Washlet in our master bath and I'll never live in another house without one. Like others have said, I can't believe so many people still willingly wander the earth with a shit-smeared backside every day.

We’ve bounced through 3 hotels so far and even the old school sleep-on-the-floor ryokan had an impressive bidet.

What’s surprising to me is that restaurant and public restrooms also have bidets. Can’t imagine the extra maintenance that goes into cleaning those things…

But yeah, in short, clean but are serious business in Japan.

Oh. And the TP here is the one-ply BS. Not sure if it’s because the TP sucks so they invented bidets. Or is it because there are bidets that the TP sucks.

Kinda like the chicken and the egg. Which came first?

Just got back from a 6 day trip to Miami and Phoenix, going to Spain for 10 days next month.  I'm at the point that it's tough to get excited about traveling when I know I won't have my BB 2000 bidet to use during that time.

Came back from Japan and the first thing I did was drop a deuce. I felt like a caveman wiping my ass with toilet paper.

I already ordered the Toto Washlet C5 since I already have a Toto toilet. I'll get the Washlet+ version when I renovate the upstairs bathrooms later this year.

Our corporate office toilets in the executive wing. I tried the bidet function for the first time. A game changer.

I have an Axent ONE and this remote beats the shit out of mine.

After having lived with multiple bidets with remote controls, I will never buy remote control bidets again. Hard mounted permanent control buttons never run out of batteries or go missing or get dropped in the toilet by a prankster.

Are there any battery operated ones that warm the water? Have a toilet I’d love to have on but no power near and the water is cooooold here in PA out of the pipe. 

Ambient temperature or sink access (to your warm water sink).

Maybe it’s time to call an electrician.

My bidet is in the guest bath right now since there’s a plug there.

When I renovate my bathroom later this year, I’ll have the contractor install a plug in the crown room.

Running an extra electrical outlet really isn't very difficult.  That's an expensive one off to get an electrician out for.  Ten minutes of youtube videos should be enough especially if their is an outlet on the other side of one of your walls

Look on Amazon for a portable one - it's just a water bottle with an extended neck that you fill-up and squeeze. I take it every time I travel... (and my own roll of Charmin super soft for the final wipe as most hotels have cardboard especially when you are used to a bidet at home...)

Granted, I don't live in a cold weather climate, but I have never found the need to have warm water spray out of my bidet.  If you're like me, that area of the body is always warm and humid, so I find that a spray of cool or even cold water to that area is actually quite refreshing.  I'd say try it out of the tap before you run out and get an electrician involved.

For your master bath, Toto washlet w heated seat, heated water, and dryer. $400. It's the clubhouse leader for a reason, and will give you all of the comforts and niceties of the Japanese bidets. That was an immediate upgrade after our trip to Japan last fall. For the other bathrooms, anything in the $75+ range will be fine.

BTW Japan is amazing.

Where I live the water is cold in the winter and I prefer the bidet during that time.  Especially refreshing if I've eaten a lot of peppers.

I ran an extension cord from outside the bathroom to plug in the bidet until I could get an outlet run. Looked terrible but no way was I going to suffer while waiting.

That's what I did as well.

I just got back from Japan.  Only had 2 toilets the entire trip without bidets.  I don't know why America can't get their act together on this.  I feel like if we can get Buccees to start the move it will take off like wildfire.  

It inspired me to add another one to the house
