For 15 years, we've had a "bidetmatic" purchased in Argentina, where bidets are a part of everybody's bathroom. Argentinians take their bidets seriously, and they have a separate bidet, which is the size of a toilet next to the toilet. The bidetmatic was their solution to creating an attachment for smaller bathrooms or people who just didn't want an entirely separate appliance in their bathroom.For the past several decades, I've had some serious GI problems, and as a result of this, I became a fundamentalist user of the bidetmatic, struggling mightily whenever I had to travel to places that did not have a bidet.So when my right arm was immobilized due to surgery, I was in crisis, unable to use my right-handed bidetmatic. I read all the reviews online and concluded that this was the one. Genie Bidet was going to join our household. Living with a right-handed bidet but in need now of a left-handed bidet I had to make the shift. After 15 years of faithful service by my bidetMatic, I upgraded reluctantly.The genie bidet attachment immediately stood out as an attractive addition to the toilet, not just a mechanical functional industrial attachment like my Argentinian model. It uses a different approach than the Argentinian one, which is a metal swing arm variety. The genie bidet is one that shoots water from the back of the toilet forward. I was skeptical about its aim, but I've since learned that it is spot on.To cut to the chase, this new bidet is a huge benefit to me with my arm in a sling for the next 2 1/2 months and a surprisingly upscale and attractively functional addition to our bathroom. It is effortless to use, provides a great focused stream of water that hits the bullseye every time, and has an easy-to-use and attractive handle perfectly positioned for my left hand. My initial panic about going three months without a bidet is overI always intended to use this temporarily until my right arm was better, at which point it was going to be my intention to switch back to the original bidetmatic from Argentina for nostalgic reasons. But this one is such a significant upgrade to the older model that I can't imagine switching it back at this point. Now, the discussion in my head is whether to replace the other Argentine bidetmatic in the other toilet with another one of these models. The prices are good enough that the temptation is high.I did struggle with my genie bidet installation. The unit comes with the proprietary water line hookups and t-valves that are both attractive and I presume quite functional. But that would require a full replacement of all water lines to the toilet, and given that I had a tight squeeze back there and one arm that didn't work, this was going to be a big effort. I can see that If you are starting from scratch in that, this is your first bidet attachment such that you currently only have one water line going from the main to the toilet, then using their proprietary hookups would be precisely what you want to do even though it requires emptying the water tank during your installation. The installation is not that difficult, and within 20 minutes, the average person would be able to do the job themselves even if they've never done such a job before.But in my case, I was replacing an older bidet with this one and, moreover, doing it with one hand. Because I was doing a replacement, I already had the T valve installed, and with water lines that were at least several decades old, I was concerned about messing around if I didn't need to. It took me approximately $15 and a trip to the hardware store to Frankenstein a dedicated connection between the T valve I have on my main and the new bidet. See photo. This installation requires a water line hose and two adapters to connect to the bidet. Thus, I bypassed the replacement of the line to the toilet altogether....and voila. a one-handed replacement. In other words, although Genie Bidet provides proprietary water lines, they don't provide a simple water line option that would hook from the water main to the bidet directly without going through the T valveOnce I got all the pieces I needed from the hardware store, the installation itself took 5 minutes, and it has been pure bliss ever since.I am completely sold now on this bidet, and when my arm is better, I'll replace the other one in the other bathroom, and the old bidets will get cleaned up and brought to the thrift store.A superb product with GREAT personalized customer service.UPDATE: everyday I love this bidet more and more. I'm about to buy another one for the other bathroom.

Due to a chronic medical condition I prescribed a bidet for myself and my wife. Circumstance dictated it was a no-brainer. Should have been suggested by our Urologists or Gynecologist but it would never have occurred to either in a hundred years. We convinced a friend of ours to purchase the Genie attachment because she has undergone a long and painful recovery from major back surgery where she can no longer bend and twist herself around into the needed position to use toilet paper. This has proved to be very, very frustrating for her as one can well imagine. You would think that under such distress doctors would be able to see beyond their mindset of x-rays, surgery and drugs and think about a practical way to alleviate the discomfort of their patients?Our Genie Attachment turns out to be just what the Doctor never ordered: a simple, inexpensive, permanent solution to a few problems that were having a significant negative impact to the quality of our lives. My wife's friend, in her seventies, says she installed it herself, even when restricted by a stiff back. Our daughter in law has also ordered one for her family. The nice thing about the Genie attachment is that it doesn't change the basic configuration of your present toilet seat and lid arrangement. This was key to me as we have a tall, elongated bowl with a seat sans lid that is a McDonald's Restroom knock off. Contoured and comfortable. We wanted to keep the same seat as it is about as large a toilet seat that you can buy. I think every new house built should come with optional 20" tall, elongated toilets. Add a Bidet and your homely Bathroom is transformed into a luxury suite, (well, almost)! I guess cold water is the first question that comes to mind. For us, not a deal breaker. Not a situation where one has to "grin and bear it" Was easy to get used to. Not a problem really. Since the Bidet is not merely an option for us, if water temp were a big enough issue, we would be inclined to opt for a more elaborate and costly warm water set up. For us I would have to drill a hole near the baseboard at the rear of the toilet through into the laundry room on the other side of the wall, build a custom electrical extension cord plugging it into the Washing Machine wall outlet. Or, just string the electric cord across the rug to the opposite wall, over the counter, while trying to ignore that ugly extension cord. The Bidet attachment is so minimal and non-intrusive that we also use it in our other bathroom next to our bedroom where most used by guests. They can just use the facility normally as if the Bidet weren't there. Might ask a question about it, where you may volunteer information on it's use. "Lefty backie, righty fronty." Couldn't be any easier. Shuts off in the middle position of the knob with a tactile and audible "click". The extensions from out of where the water sprays are extended downwards for a more effective spray angle by water pressure. They disappear out of the way when not activated. The housing, a very small footprint at the rear of the bowl that doesn't impede cleaning. The rear spray strikes a bulls eye. I was not sure about how the front would work, but my wife says that it does work as it should. I expect that the water valve and hoses are of good quality when correctly installed will stand the test of time. That remains to be seen, though I've no reason to expect otherwise. Our bathroom was flooded once, a real costly mess! Human error by the original builders. It is just a good common sense idea to turn on and off the T valve handle that diverts water from the inlet to the bidet with each use. I doubt you could ever wear it out. it would be just plain stupid for the distributor not to use highest quality hardware here if they want to continue selling their product. I predict that Bidet's will one day be commonplace in America. I am not too paranoid about flooding, don't expect the Bidet to fail, but... it's a good idea. For sure, the greatest cause of failure is faulty installation. Bathroom fixtures are tried and true, over time proving to be reliable and durable when quality parts are properly installed. Our Genie Bidet is affordable by any one. We are going to give away two more as gifts. It is easily installed by even the most mechanically disinclined. It serves a very practical, useful, purpose that will see daily use. You'll wonder how you went all these years without it. It reduces the amount of toilet paper that in a large family may pay for itself in less than a year. What's not to like? Walter O.

great item, easy to use. makes life so much better. had to source adapters as they were not australian standard plumbing.

I love this bidet. It is so small that no one even notices it if they don't know about it. I works well spraying front and back and I find I am much cleaner after using this bidet than smearing a mess around with toilet paper. It is environmentally friendly. It has just the right amount of pressure and was super easy to install. I like it so much, I talked 2 of my friends into purchasing the same one. Thanks.

We've had this for a month now and it's probably one of the the best purchases we've made for our home! We love it so much that we are buying two more for the other two bathrooms. It's also great that it looks so discreet and modern, not tacky and chunky looking like other bidets in the market. The only downside is there is no hot water option but that's far from a deal breaker. Install was quick and straightforward. As for function, we noticed there has been less toilet paper use for us because it cleans everything right up!

I honestly *cannot* imagine a better bidet attachment than this one nor a wiser design and functionality. I have seen other bidet attachments for a lower price but what I did not like about them was that they had 2 buttons in order to use: 1 was to select the area to be cleansed (front or rear) and 1 button was to select pressure. I really did not want to spend/waste time working around with 2 buttons when I want to speedily be in-and-out of the bathroom. The GenieBidet is the only one out there that I found which has one single button which by a single turn (left or right) designates *both* the area to be cleaned as well as the water pressure. Absolutely INGENIOUS!!! Installation took 15-20 minutes and the hardest part of the process was shutting off the valve for the water supply to the toilet as the knob required a lot of strength to turn. I could not turn off the water supply completely, so I just put a bucket underneath the pipe and valve to catch all the trickling water and did my best to work in a speedy fashion to install the bidet. Therefore, the hard part was not even with the installation of the bidet itself, but simply due to something already existing in my home which was difficult to use. Installing all the parts of the bidet per the video instruction on Amazon.ca as well as YouTube was an ABSOLUTE breeze and it provided a *wonderful* sense of accomplishment once I finished all by myself. I chose the attachment rather than the bidet seat because I measured my round toilet from the tank to the front of the bowl and it was about 17" (which would not have allowed the lid to stay open) as the recommended minimum for the seat is 19"-20.5". The angle of the jets is absolutely perfect especially for the rear, for the feminine front it helps to adjust posture/sit up straight in order to reach the area needed. Takes a little bit of practice, but I'm on my 2nd day using this and I've already gotten much better at using it! Happiness all around, cleanliness all around, AMAZING PRODUCT and RECOMMEND 100%!!!!
