I ordered the Luxe bidet on a Thursday, and it arrived on Monday

I ordered the Luxe bidet on a Thursday, and it arrived on Monday. Great, fast, free delivery. (Actually, I had ordered the Joy Bidet first for roughly $10 less, but had second thoughts. The Luxe version comes with braided metal tubing rather than plastic, and the valve is metal. My sense was that the Luxe would be longer lasting with these features... but I worry they use the word "metal" rather than "brass" in describing the valve.)

Installation was relatively easy (although I wish I had applied the teflon tape to the connectors BEFORE I attached the connector). The little discs that go between the toilet and the seat posed a bit of a problem because it was not clear which side should be up and which down. Nothing in the instructions indicated that. (Ultimately, I think I installed them upside down, and had to take off the seat and flip them over.)

Like so many people here, I was wowed by the experience of using the bidet, having never used one. For whatever reason, they managed to get the water trajectory just about right. (I did, however, three times loosen the seat bolts to slide the unit back or forward slightly to improve its aim, but it really wasn't necessary.)

Now that I have been using it for close to three weeks, I am surprised to find that I am still a little shocked when the water first hits my bottom (and wonder how it will be in the winter when the water is much colder). Turning the dial all the way up actually creates a slight feeling of discomfort, but probably cleans a bit more thoroughly that way. I am not sure I have fully learned the proper amount of time to use the spray, for on a few occasions, when I thought I was clean, I was not.

The bottom line is this: I love the Luxe bidet.

NOTE: As required by Federal Trade Commission guidelines, I am disclosing that I was promised compensation for posting an honest review. And the review is just that -- my honest opinion -- something I would have written exactly as you see it irrespective of any future compensation that I might receive.
