LOL, we got whooshed!
Welcome to the bidet lover’s club, Kropotkin!
Reading online about the standard European bidet, my impression was that it’s all a lot filthier and difficult, at least the free-standing units. I read adjurations such as
[ul]
[li]Be careful not to dribble on your way from the toilet to the bidet[/li][li]Be sure the jet is adjusted correctly so you don’t spray water all over the room[/li][li]Be sure you don’t turn the water too high " "[/li][li]You may need to take your pants off to use it[/li][li]Use the nearby cloth towel to blot your bits after you use it [with everyone else; yuck][/li][li]If you wipe/blot with paper, don’t throw it in the bidet–trot over to the toilet or trash can[/li][li]If you’re going to wash your feet, be aware that people may have used it as a bidet[/li][li]Don’t poop in the bidet[/li][/ul]
Seems unnecessary. And especially gross in a hotel.
Yeah, I’d never consider a free standing one. But those commode/bidet combos take care of all of that. Gentle fan dry, comfy seating, etc. Just don’t poop on the wand, make sure it’s retracted before doing that. Not difficult to do, fortunately.
What do you mean “we”?
Heh… wee
I’ve never experienced a bidet. I have seen (and operated!) an automatic toilet seat cover, though.
While the bells and whistles described by Qadgop sound magnificent, I wonder how difficult this gizmo is to CLEAN.
Someone in my household who shall remain nameless (let’s just say we’ve known each other for a long long LONG time) combines two negative toilet characteristics: he suffers something our doctor called “osmotic diarrhea” and the propensity to sit upon The Throne like the statue “The Thinker.” That means the resident toilet cleaner person (me) must not only clean the bowl, but the rim, the seat, UNDER the seat, and even behind the seat.
Your contraption has extending wands? Oh dear Gawd. I’d probably have to unhook it frequently and soak it overnight in bleach.
It just sounds like something that would not only need special cleaning, but the floor would need mopping, and the rug is gonna get all wet.
I’m depressed, now.
~VOW
They are really much easier than that. The wand stays retracted until you hit the front or back spray button. It then pops out out, sprays, and retracts before drying you with gentle warm air like an angel’s breath. Can you tell I like mine?
For cleaning you can manually extend the wand and spray it down with a cleaning spray and give it a wipe. No mopping, other than usual.
This. Our bidet toilet is easier to clean and maintain than our previous standard toilet.

Pretty sure that is not optional.
Now he tells me.
“Off,” not “down,” smarty.
Wow, that took a long time.
