The main difference from the MB110 is the way it is mounted to the toilet, it is nicer looking and a better design. The way the MB110 was mounted made maintaining that area difficult. The only problem I had with this new mounting design is that my toilet seat screws were not long enough. The other more subtle changes are the water lines are now both braided stainless and a cosmetic change to the knob area.
I highly recommend this product to friends and clients.
Please be kind enough to indicate if this review was helpful.For Christmas, I installed bidets on our toilets. I installed two Astor's and one Luxe Vi-110. One major difference between them is the water line. The Luxe uses a flex pipe with a braided metal sheath and threaded fittings. It feels very secure. The Astor uses a thin plastic tube with compression fittings. Both are thus far sufficient, but only the Luxe inspires confidence. The Luxe also includes a nifty cartoon user guide, suitable for mounting in front of the throne. Seriously, it's good enough to merit a mention.
The installation of the bidets was straight forward and simple. I ran into only two issues. On one toilet, I had to go buy nylon wing nuts for the seat bolts because the old ones fell apart (not the bidet's fault). The other issue was that after a week, the Luxe in the master bath starting dripping from the T-fitting. Since the fittings are sealed by a rubber gasket, a leak meant that the fitting wasn't tight enough. I was really tight going together and I tightened it as much as I dared. I resolved the issue by doing what I should have done in the first place: I fetched the teflon tape from my plumbing toolbox. After taping the fittings, getting the connection tight enough was a cinch. I haven't had a problem since.
Properly used, teflon tape makes the T-fitting easier to install and results in a more secure connection. Including a tiny spool might be a good idea, but I can understand how it might cause problems if used incorrectly. On 2 out my 3 toilets, it wasn't necessary. Perhaps adding a reminder for handy men to use the tape if necessary? Odds are, if they have it they know how to use it. Using tape didn't cross my mind late that night.
The bidets are a welcome addition to our home. Every bathroom uses less T.P. and our kids (age 5 and 6) no longer want or need flushable wipes. That means their toilet isn't backing up all the time. I find it more convenient than previous methods I employed to maintain a hygienic derrière. My wife uses it but she'll like it more when the weather is warmer. Because of poor design, our master bath is the coldest room in the house and the toilet is on an outside wall (not the bidet's fault). Our third bathroom is grandpa's. He's more than a little change adverse. I was uncertain how he was going to react to 'my' addition to 'his' toilet. It turns out he has used bidets before and he welcomed the addition.
The bidet is quite the novelty when guests visit. Recently my daughter had a gaggle of neighbor girls over. Before long ago, a parent inquired where all the girls went. I found my master W.C. door shut and 4 little girls giggling behind it. Before turning away, I heard one say, "I'm next, I'm next!" That's much better than the way boys show it off, "Hey, watch it spray the ceiling!"
Both bidets are very effective and I can't say I have a preference for how either one works (spray pattern, on/off valve/etc.). They both do the job expertly. I expect both brands will last a couple years until the plastic fatigues.
