LUXE Bidet NEO 180 - Dual Nozzle, Self-Cleaning, Non-Electric Bidet Attachment for Toilet Seat, Adjustable Water Pressure, Rear & Feminine Wash, with Lever Control (Blue)

A his and her point of view review. After my wife tore her bicep muscle in a fall in the chicken coop and had to have it surgically repaired, I did what any good husband would do and offered to help keep her clean. And like any independent person, this did not appeal to her. We had some experience with a bidet attachment from her mother’s house. She had a very expensive heated seat with a blow dryer unit and lots of other bells and whistles. Well, if you have an extra $900 or so laying around and can also afford an electrician to wire your toilet up then go for it. But my wife is an excellent shopper and she came across this unit. I had my doubts because of the low price point. I was and still am, close to a year later, very pleasantly surprised. I read all of the product reviews at the time, especially the ones where installation tips and tricks were pointed out. This review will be no different as I am pretty good around tools, though you need very few to install this unit. Installation is a breeze. If you can change a toilet seat, and change a water line on the back of the toilet, then you have what it takes to accomplish this job in about 15 -20 minutes. As others recommended certain upgrades, I will do the same. First off, I purchased the metal tank adaptor /shutoff valve, found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPYIK6M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 While the adaptor may not have been 100% necessary, I installed it in May of 2014 and have not had a problem yet. I do recommend using some Teflon tape on the threads. Again, probably not a necessity but I learned a very long time ago to do things right the first time and you don't have to do them again. I stand by those lessons learned. It is also important to know that this bidet works off of the pressure from the tank, NOT the water inlet. So if all heck breaks loose and you have a way to fill up your tank from rain water or other sources, you're covered. And being fed from the tank keeps it from being overly cold when using it. The second upgrade I would recommend would be toilet bumpers that raise the seat slightly so as to make sure there is enough clearance between the seat and bidet. You can find those here. (Tip: Super glue them in place, the peel off adhesive is not strong for long). They’re available here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EA080X0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Finally, I’d like to say that this is a fantastic product that was a breeze to install, and there are even times that I am happy to have this. It has his and her settings. Just pull that lever up slowly at first or you'll get a heck of a surprise. L.O.L! A truly good quality unit for a very reasonable price. Haven't had a drop of water leak anywhere since I installed it. As my wife will tell you next, whenever we go out to a hotel the only thing she misses is our toilet bidet. So whenever I can get their portable unit I'll give you a review of that. I give this 5 plus stars and wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend it to anyone with even just basic tools and mechanical knowledge. It's pretty easy to do. I have recommended this to my over 2500 preppers on my preppers page as a way to stay as clean as possible when the SHTF, using minimal amounts of Toilet tissue. (A highly prized commodity when natural or man made disasters occur). And I'll be posting it again, as well as on my blog. http://www.facebook.com/pugetsoundpreppers And now on to the "Her" part of this review. Sincerely RevG III I love this thing. With very short arms and a debilitating injury, this thing saved me from a lot of hassle and discomfort. As my husband alluded to, the flow of the water can be regulated to suit individual comfort. There are different jet positions for men and women which can be adusted. We got the non-heated water unit because we didn’t want to pay the extra money and do the extra work for the heated unit. Yes, the water can be cold but it’s bearable. The best part of all however, is the level of cleanliness I get without using a lot of time and toilet paper. Ulitmately, it’s a low cost, marvelous modern convenience. I wish I could take it with me wherever I “go”. I’ve recommended this product often and will continue to do so. Mrs. RevG III

I was very pleased with this product and would recommend this to anyone. Great value and results. I purchased this item with a bit of hesitation as bidets are not popular in the United States. I was convinced that this would make the number 2 business much more pleasant. I couldn't have been more right. I only wish that it had a bar of soap with it. Installation: The installation process was very straight forward. The install went something like this. A quick turn of the knob to turn off the water to toilet. Undo the line from the wall to the toilet and insert the one given by this product. The water line will go from wall, to water tank where there is a splitter, and then to the bidet. This process is very straight forward but be cautious as to not over tighten the connectors as it could cause a leak. Unfasten the toilet seat and align the bidet to the rear of the toilet. Refasten and tighten the screws down that secure the seat. This is the one area where I took away one star from the product. I would have taken a half star but that's not allowed. I felt that the bidet forces the toilet lid to sit proud of the top of the toilet thus making the lid not sit flush when closed. Its a small thing but does force a small space between toilet and seat and causes the seat to bend down when sat upon. This isn't a problem for me but I felt like something could be done to balance the seat. Test: Once installed a test was in store. Pull lightly on the lever and ensure the water begins to stream out. This is a sign that it is installed correctly. If pulled too far this will result in a wet shirt. So be careful :) Summary: Using this product is wonderful. The cool refreshing water is used to cleanse and provide a decent pressure in order to ensure the area is clean. The pressure is not unpleasant. This device allows you to stay shower fresh and clean through out the day. I only wish bidets were more widely accepted across our culture. Staying fresh and clean is worth every penny of this product and I would easily purchase it again. Hope this helps. Questions welcome. UPDATE: Luxe customer service contacted me and asked if they could do anything to help the 4 star review I had originally given. I complained about the gap with the toilet seat caused by the installation of the bidet. They immediately sent me some grommets (rubber feet) to help better seat the toilet lid. It worked like a charm. That _was_ my only problem with this wonderful product and they made it _right_. 5/5 in customer service and 5/5 in product. Purchase this item now and YOU will be happy. Your clothes washer will thank you.

Been about a month since I purchased the Bidet, and no regrets. I have mobility issues dye to lower spine injuries and this has made cleaning after toilet use so easy. with the adjustable lever stream I can adjust how much water is shot out and how hard. Add to this a wiping aid (toilet paper on a stick) for drying, and I a clean I have not felt in years. I also purchased the matching toilet seat from LUXE as well. Both items were very easy to install. I did have to purchase an additional hose, but that is just because the pipe from the wall to the inlet in my apartment was a solid non flexible one.

Far and away, the best reason to buy a Luxe is the customer service which comes with it. The CSRs at Luxebidet.com were very attentive to my concerns when it didn't install properly. And speaking of that... The key to a trouble-free installation is having a compatible toilet seat. My old one was curved on the underside, and with the bidet in place, the seat wouldn't go down all the way. It would bend the bidet if it had weight on it. So be sure and check your toilet hardware to see that the seat is flat on the underside and that it isn't the type with long, thick metal hinges down the center. Apart from that, the installation went fairly smoothly on my old john- I did have concerns about the original water line, which was a solid brass piece, but all the necessary braided steel hoses were included in the bidet kit, and Luxe even offered to send me a hose if that was not the case. The design of my old plumbing was such that I had to cut the original water line out with a hacksaw to get it free of the tank, but that took seconds. And the meat of the matter- once it's on, how well does it work? Very well, it turns out! It hits the bullseye every time. I was initially reluctant to have an unheated stream of water shooting at me, but it's not merely tolerable, it's downright refreshing, especially compared to scouring one's self with sheets of paper. I find myself using far fewer sheets of the stuff when it's only needed to pat dry, so it's saving me money. I find it's now kind of a bummer when I have to use a privy abroad, as I know I'll never get as clean as I do at home. I used to be a fan of flushable wipes, but it was hard to find a brand that doesn't irritate, and when I heard in an NPR story that those wipes tend to bind with fat to form big, rock-hard blockages in the sewer line and damage municipal water treatment machines, I just gave up on that approach. I figure sewer workers have enough grief in their everyday jobs as it is. The knob switches between standard, female and cleaning modes; I'm kind of ill-equipped to review the female mode, but I can say that it's a slightly lower pressure stream, and, of course, aimed differently. For the dudes, well, suffice it to say that it makes a handy ball wash. The cleaning mode simply circulates fresh water over the outside of the nozzles, which hide behind a hinged splash shield until needed. The look of it is appealing, I find, and a neat conversation piece. I tell guests that it's an ejector seat, in case they run into some MIG fighters and need to punch out. I will say that the chrome is a little deceptive for something that has kind of a cheap plastic feel. But for fifty bucks, it's a bit much to expect those sorts of touches. Lastly, the bidet kit installs using these adjustable discs which have elongated holes through which your toilet seat bolts pass, and these leave little open wells which might complicate cleaning, especially if you have boys in the house with poor aim. But a dab of caulk fixes that right up, and Luxe even recommended a strip of tape to cover them, as a cheap and easy fix. But for those two minor issues, I'd say five stars. The bottom line (snrk): if you've ever thought about trying a bidet, this is the most cost-effective way to join the club, and you can order with confidence knowing that the customer service team at Luxe has your back covered. (So to speak.)

I spent more time researching bidet toilet seats than I did for my last car purchase. There is a ton of confusing information and a wide range of prices. I now own TWO of these exact units, one for more than a year now, and I'm convinced it is the best non-electric seat for the money. PROS: * Easy to install, takes just 10 minutes (I timed it) * Clever adjustable mounting disks allow for many types of toilets * Two different jets, one regular and one for the ladies. Amazingly, they seem to be magically and perfectly aimed. * Inexpensive, but high quality. * Very simple design, hardly anything to break compared to fancy and expensive electronic units. (Seriously, you need a remote control toilet?) * Looks great, not bulky, seamlessly becomes part of your existing toilet without having to change your toilet seat * Includes all the plumbing pieces you need, nothing else required. (Has an extra braided line so you can choose the right size) * Self cleaning feature works great * Water flow is adjustable (More below) * Saves a bunch of money in toilet paper! This unit will more than pay for itself in less than a year. CONS: * None. I can't find anything inherently wrong with this. WHY I CHOSE THIS ONE: I looked at many brands and different options all the way up the price range. This brand overall has the best ratings, and consistent quality from what I can read. My MAIN debate became whether I needed hot water or not. While it may seem like a naturally good idea, I found that only the most expensive electric units with built in hot water reservoir made any sense. While Luxe and other companies make the non-electric hot/cold water units, there are two significant challenges with this. #1) Unless you have an instant hot water heater IN your bathroom, your bum is going to get shot with cold water until the hot water reaches the toilet. #2) While every toilet has a cold water line to easily connect to, in many bathrooms (and all of mine) the hot water is across the bathroom and would require a significant plumbing job to get the hot water to the toilet, and even after all that you'll still have problem #1 with the initial cold water. And, I've found that a little cold water on the bum is not anything close as bad to taking a cold shower, and on hotter days is actually pleasant. So for these two reasons, there is no reason I can justify a non-electric hot/cold bidet. The only thing better than this would be a $500 toilet seat that has a built-in hot water heater AND reservoir. One unique thing to add is that I regularly fast "Master Cleanser" style with cayenne pepper, and I put a LOT of pepper in my drink. Those of you who have tried this fast will likely remember enjoying that stinging pepper feeling . . . TWICE, one going in, and another time going out. This product has been a dream to use during fasting, where before the pepper and wiping would cause irritation. (or, if you eat lots of spicy food) This product is a MUST HAVE for this reason alone. One thing worth noting, is that if you have very high water pressure you might consider getting their T-adapter with valve here: Luxe Metal T-adapter with Shut-off Valve, 3-way Tee Connector, Chrome Finish, for Luxe Neo Bidets While the flow IS adjustable on the bidet handle, if you're not careful you could wind up giving yourself a high pressure blast if you flip open the bidet valve too quickly. This is not a fault of the product, just something you need to be aware of if you have high water pressure. In one home I fixed this by simply turning down the main toilet faucet. It fills up the toilet a little slower after a flush but made it just right. In my other place, I didn't find this necessary but still need to make sure I don't turn it up too quickly. And again, the T-Adapter listed would totally solve that but I wouldn't say it is a requirement for most homes and I didn't buy that. Bottom line, I am super glad that I purchased this bidet, and also glad I didn't spend $500 on a toilet seat. This works just as well, and for the same $500 I could put one of these in every bathroom at home and work. It is a great value, just buy it and make your ass happy. (

Update 12/20/2021 - still not a single problem or issue with this. no exaggeration this is one of the best purchases we've ever made. Update 3/14/2020 - zero problems! it is now two and a half years since installing this. all i can say is it is one of the best purchases i have ever made. as said no problems at all. i regularly inspect the nozzles to see if they're clean or not? only once in all this time have i noticed any debris. so cleaning never has been an issue. when purchased never imagined a pandemic let alone shortages of TP? i am so glad i got this now. no wonder sales everywhere for bidets has skyrocketed over the past few weeks. Update 1/25/2018 - no problems at all. pain relief is fantastic. i have cut my toilet paper expense down to a fourth what it used to be. i love it. I have suffered from G.I. issues for over two decades. Several surgeries and all the bad stuff. So much to deal with every single day. After my first surgery I looked into a bidet until I saw the cost, a couple thousand dollars and I had to forget about it. End of last year I accidentally read a post by someone who had just got a similar style bidet. I got me thinking so I checked into it again. Pricing was so low I thought it must be some con or a piece of junk that would likely end up in the trash on day one. i read many of the reviews but with so many 'farmed' reviews i was skeptical. thankfully i was proven so very WRONG! I have purchased hundreds of items from amazon over the years, feel free to look. I say that as nothing else purchased has made me happier, improved my overall quality of life and by a long shot. When you suffer with pain daily, hourly, to have any improvement is a big deal. I cannot understate just how much this improves my quality of life. Something so small, so inexpensive and yet has such an impact. I just never could have imagined. Honestly if I’d known all those years ago even priced at a few thousand, I’d have gotten one. So all said this is simple to install. If you can put a toilet seat on you can do this. if you don’t want to? a plumber can come out and do it for you in a few minutes. i purchased a metal t-valve to use with. It comes with a plastic one but metal is better IMHO. I also purchased a second set of bumpers for the toilet seat. Not necessary but that extra 1/8th inch higher makes it look better. The device couldn’t be simpler to use. Just pull the handle like you would with a kitchen faucet, forward and back, that’s it. also you don’t need to adjust the spray heads as the preset is perfect. The main ones work for dealing with #2. The ‘female’ setting on the device lowers the angle to get more up front so to speak. All in all I absolutely could not be happier with this. it not only met my expectations but greatly exceeded them. My pain relief, the paper savings and for so very little money up front on this? If you or someone you care about has G.I. problems having this little wonder will greatly improve quality of life. Nothing you could do other than get a new body could make a bigger difference. *this would be great for someone using a septic system/leech field **one caveat, due to the position of the handle for someone overweight it could pose a problem. frankly it comes down to how wide the derriere is.

I’ve been waiting to review this product for quite a while, so that I could give an honest assessment of it after longer-term use. In the past, I’ve written reviews before really getting the bigger picture on an item, and sometimes my perceptions and the objects performance change quite a bit after the honeymoon period is over. This is not one of those cases. Review in a nutshell: The Luxe Bidet Neo 180 is fantastic. An economical device that installs fast, is easy to use, and delivers on expectations. If you are in the market for an affordable bidet, this is a great choice. Review out of a nutshell: The item arrived quickly, and was a surprisingly small package. The shell of the bidet is plastic, as are most components, and this did give me pause. However, over the period of use, I have had no issues whatsoever. My biggest concern was the plastic stem that connects the water line to both the toilet tank as well as splitting off to the bidet itself, specifically the shear strength of it, as the awkward distance from the existing shutoff to the tank would have put the connecting water line at an angle. I was worried that under pressure the force from the supply line would be exerted against the plastic stem sideways, instead of straight on, and that that might cause problems. Whether a valid concern or not, I solved the issue by taking the longer of the included supply lines and looping it to “create” a 90 degree angle, then tied the loop to keep it in place. Installation was relatively quick and easy, maybe 20 minutes in total. Although I don’t recall the instructions calling for it, I used plumber’s tape (also called Teflon tape) on all the threading, wrapping clockwise for four or so layers. Centering the bidet took a little time, but wasn’t difficult, made even easier by using the markings that appear on the bidet itself—there are rotating circles that allow you to change where the seat bolts pass through the bidet and thereby change its position, and there are markings along the perimeter of the circle (like number on a clock) that allow you to mirror the two circles to better find the center. The one challenge here was keeping the bidet in place while reinstalling the seat, and an extra set of hands at this point came in handy, just to keep things put. After that, I placed a shallow bowl beneath the fittings in case of leaks, and opened up the water. No leaks, no problems. A word about water pressure: Other reviews have noted that this bidet really brings the pressure, and that has been my experience as well. Even with a regulator that reduces the pressure of the water when it enters my house, this bidet can still knock your socks off. If you are considering using it for any reason related to or resulting in high sensitivity, you should definitely take some time to get to know how much to lift the handle and the resulting flow. The handle that turns the bidet on has a short pull, and the pressure ratchets up quickly. With practice, though, you’ll find your “sweet spot”. If your toilet supply has a cutoff valve, it may be worthwhile to experiment with turning it down to reduce the overall water flow, even though your toilet tank will fill more slowly. One last thing: The handle for using the bidet is located on the right side of the seat. It is possible to catch the handle and lift it if you are reaching back, say to flush the toilet while still seated, pull up your pants, reaching for your favorite magazine, or whatever else you might be up to. This can be really, really easy to do. There are three settings on this bidet, one of which is to clean the nozzles themselves. This setting directs the water along the face of the sprayers and straight down into the bowl. It’s a nice feature that has a second purpose as well--you might want to consider turning it to this setting when guests who are unfamiliar with the bidet arrive. Otherwise, you might need to keep some extra sets of clothes on hand (company and I both learned this the hard way). This item has been a great addition to the house, providing a level of hygiene and comfort I didn’t know I was missing. Now I do, and I really do miss it whenever I’m not at home. Be warned, it’ll spoil you. But as some commercial or other once said, “Aren’t you worth it?”.

I'll just come right out and say it: I love my bidet. I'd never had one before, and I don't think I'd ever even used one before I ordered the Luxe Bidet Neo 180 back in February, but I was lightly acquainted with them all the same. After experiencing an unfortunate bout of bathroom frequency that left certain areas of skin fairly irritated (ahem) this winter, I decided to research them in earnest. I was surprised by the affordability of the conversion kits; after seeing several makes and models in a reasonable price range, I started looking more carefully at reviews and features. There were several contenders I considered at my price point, but in the end I chose the Luxe Bidet Neo 180. I had decided I didn't need hot- and cold-running water lines and the less plumbing I was getting myself into, the better, but the main selling point to me was the dual-nozzle feature. It was the only model I came across in the same price range with this particular feature and this sealed the deal for my purchase. A review from a woman who appreciated having the second jet available really resonated with me and I thought it made great sense. (I admit that this feature may not be terribly helpful for men, but I think other women might appreciate it as much as I do.) I was a little concerned about the reviews stating that they couldn't get the bidet to install properly with their plumbing and/or their existing toilet seats, but I saw similar issues with just about every product out there. I think that if you have a fairly standard toilet setup and seat, you'll be okay. If not, you may run into trouble. Full disclosure: I know nothing about plumbing, but I thought my plumbing looked to be fairly straightforward for this exercise. My toilet seat was a fairly standard model from Home Depot, so I decided to give it a shot. Your mileage may vary. Once ordered, the Luxe Bidet Neo 180 arrived promptly and was decently packaged. No issues there. The box is clean and inviting and the contents are arranged well within it. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and it was pretty easy to see how it should all fit together. I like to think I'm fairly handy (I enjoy putting together furniture) and this didn't seem at all difficult at first glance. The installation itself was easy even without previous plumbing experience. So easy I did it twice, in fact (more on that shortly). Having said that, I can't promise it will be for you; a lot depends on your bathroom layout and how easy it is to get to the pipes you need to work with. At any rate, I had no trouble turning off the toilet's water supply. I had a bit of a time trying to remove the existing water supply line - mostly due to the fact that I didn't have the right wrench for the job initially - but once I got it off I was able to install and assemble the bidet quite quickly. Unfortunately, this attempt was doomed to failure as I had not used waterproof tape on the pipe threads during reassembly, but once my husband acquired some for me (along with a decent wrench), the tear-down, taping, and reinstallation took less than half an hour and worked fabulously. I was in business. USE WATERPROOF TAPE, FOLKS. Learn from my mistake. (That is my only suggestion for improvement for the manufacturer: include a small roll of waterproof tape with the installation kit, and save us the trouble of having to go out and get some when we aren't sure whether or not it's necessary.) Now, some advice for using the bidet: -- Make sure the dial is set to the position you want before you lift that handle. I do use both settings and often forget which one I've left it on. Let me tell you, it is a surprise when the "other" jet kicks in than you were expecting. (And it can lead to a urinary tract infection, ladies, if you get blasted in the wrong spot at the wrong time.) -- Lift that handle SLOWLY. Our water pressure is not good, but when the handle is fully open that little stream of water can pack quite a punch. Sometimes you want this, and sometimes you don't. Just start slowly until the pressure is where you want it to be. Things I like best about the Luxe Bidet Neo 180: -- Affordable price point -- Dual nozzles, for front and back targeting -- Self-cleaning option -- Easy installation with the right tools and knowledge -- The fresh, clean feeling I have after using it. It's starting to ruin "regular" toilets for me and I often find myself wishing there were bidets everywhere. Things I don't like as much about it: -- No waterproof tape included in the kit -- The handle and the arm it's mounted on feel a little delicate to me. I haven't had a problem with it, but I'm worried about the day my 3-year-old son decides to go play with the shiny lever when I'm not paying attention and pulls too hard on something. It just seems like it might be very easy to break (though again, I have never had a problem with it after 6 months of use). Would I buy it again? Yes, absolutely. I would give them as presents if my friends wouldn't think I was a lunatic for doing so. ("It's a what? For your where?") I don't know how well other brands stack up against this one, but I wholeheartedly recommend the Luxe Bidet Neo 180 to anyone out there who would like an affordable, easy-to-install kit that really works. Thanks for reading!
