Brondell SMB-15 Side Mounted Bidet Attachment, Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is durable and easily cleaned

I have used several different types of bidets (including the Tushy) before, and did a lot of research before finally purchasing this one. We have been using it for several weeks now and it is absolutely perfect! It has exceeded my expectations in every way! I was looking for something plastic-free for the durability, and for environmental reasons, and this is one of the only options on the market. The only plastic component it came with was a riser for the other side of the toilet seat, to keep the seat even.It was very easy to install and only took about 10 minutes. I only used the components that it came with and didn't need to add or replace anything. I also didn't need to use any teflon tape, and it has never leaked. I did not purchase the hot water option because our sink is not close enough, but my husband and I both actually find the cold water refreshing. The water pressure is insane - I've never had it even close to full blast - but the nob makes it easy to adjust to whatever pressure you like.It did take a bit of trial and error to get the positioning of the arm right so it would swing out to the correct place, but once it was good I tightened the bolts down and we haven't had any issues with it moving out of place. We have a standard style toilet - not a french curve. I love that the arm swings under the toilet seat when not in use. I am a woman and I have found that I can swing it forward slightly to get the "front" area effectively as well. The stream does come more "straight up" than "from behind" like some models are designed to do, but I honestly prefer it, as you can direct the stream to the exact spot you want it to go.It's very easy to clean around - especially compared to plastic models like the Tushy. And if anyone is concerned about the nozzle not being "self-cleaning" you can easily turn it on for a second on low pressure to do exactly what all of the other models do. It is also very slim and sits under the toilet seat very well - it hasn't made the seat feel different in any way.I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews that said they had to buy different hardware or that installation was difficult, but I did not have that experience at all. Everything worked perfectly and was super easy. I honestly think we will have this thing for a lifetime, and I plan on installing one on every toilet!

Works really well

Made of quality materials. Comfortable. Can make a mess of clean water after use….but I guess that goes with the territory.I used to be a plumber, so I knew how to put it together, and shim the toilet seat. Ordinary (non plumber) folks might have a problem getting everything level.Good product.

Day 1 review - Once the price went down it was a no brainer to buy it for me, especially since I have one piece curved toilets that a normal bidet can’t fit. For my use case I needed to buy a top screw in toilet seat hinge, but very thin profile for the arm,so the toilet seat sits on top flush.relatively easy to install by hand since I didn’t have tool space behind the toilet. Be warned, once this thing is on full blast, it can peel paint off the walls or be as gentle as you’d like. Just remember to swing it into position or swing it back once done…High quality thick metal. Looks good.
