Brondell Bidet Attachment for Toilet SS-250 SimpleSpa Fresh Water Spray with Adjustable Water Pressure Side Arm Control, Slim Bidet Sprayer, Silver Knob (Dual Nozzle)

After having this for 6 weeks I can say it is one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time and I recommend. It was easy to install, might need some WD 40 to get the valve things loose on your toilet but, pretty simple. I am NOT mechanically inclined and I did it without calling 911 for help. Read the step by step instructions, simple easy, have some WD 40 nearby ( not for the product, but for your plumbing valves if they haven't been loosened or tightened in a while). Less tp down the sewer, save $ buying TP the rest of your life, save trees from being cut down to make TP ( humans use 270,000 trees per day globally to make TP) Efficient and enviro friendly all the way around. If you live in an apartment - take it with you if / when you move. There are 2 sprayers one for front, one for back, and there is nothing cleaner! You can adjust the water pressure as high or low as you want, and it can powerwash your behind LOL - careful not to blast yourself clear off the toilet! You can have a low, gentle water pressure or the powerwash. You can practically get a colonic every time you go to the bathroom if you wanted to. LOL These should be a requirement for every home because you save so much for sewers to break down and you keep more $$$ in your pocket in the long run and it saves trees from being cut to make ... TP what a waste. Once you get the hang of it you only really need tp to dry off, far cleaner! It’s like taking a shower every time you go to the bathroom! There is no hot / cold option on the model I bought, I don't mind, it works great. I think the best thing is just how clean you feel - you basically only need to use TP to dry off. LOLOLOL… but seriously! Cleanliness is next to godliness.

I had been wanting a bidet for a few years. Who doesn’t love the idea of a cleaner bum? Occasionally I’d browse, and think about splurging someday. Then the great TP shortage of 2020 hit. I spent hours (months!) researching and reading reviews. Eventually I just had to “commit” or get off the pot, so to speak. I took the plunge on the Brondell Thinline Simple Spa and I am SO glad! I had read about every possible negative, so when I hit that “buy” button I still worried. Will it fit my toilet seat? Will it leak? Will I need to risk the crazies at the hardware store to get more parts? Is it too cold? Will it look tacky? Two nozzles or one? Will it blast me into outer space? If you also have those questions, here are my answers. Installation: Very simple. It took me about 30 minutes, only because it was a little tricky to get the main adapter to thread with the washer inside. It was barely deep enough to grab the tank pipe. Be patient! Make sure it’s perfectly even and go slow. I am not a patient person so this was my challenge. I even looked through my washer box for a thinner washer - don’t. The one they send us a custom fit and you don’t want to mess with that. Everything else was a breeze, and I didn’t need to go get extra parts. Always a win! I installed it about 3 weeks ago. No leaks at all so far. Toilet seat: Ours is plastic and does have some curve on the sides. (See photos.) That was as an issue in many reviews across all of the brands, so I was afraid I’d need to go buy a new seat. Not a deal breaker, but an extra hassle. I was *thrilled* when it fit right away! No extra trips to the hardware store, still winning! YMMV, but I have NO gaps and no worries about the seat bending or cracking. It feels solid, no wobbling or sliding around. Looks: This thing is sleek and modern, I think it looks much better than the rest in this category (which is honestly why I gave it a shot). It fits the clean lines of our mid-mod house and general aesthetic, and I think it would look good with any modern decor. The thin profile is unobtrusive and the flat controller does not get turned on accidentally by our big dogs, or by my thighs. (Note: the thing hanging on the right in these pics is not part of the bidet, it’s a color changing LED nightlight we got as a gift - it’s fun.😁) Cold water only: Our toilet is in a small “bomb shelter” separated from the vanity and outlets by a wall and a door. So it had to be a cold water only, non-electric attachment. A friend had recommended a warm water, heated seat, fancy-pants model costing hundreds, but that was beyond my budget. Installing an outlet for my first butt washer also seemed excessive. It may be different in a cold climate, but where we live the climate is hot, humid, and downright GROSS. “Swamp-ass” is real, y’all, and it’s not fun. This bidet is a life-changer! It’s not freezing cold, it’s more like an outdoor shower at the beach or the pool. SO refreshing! Now I get to take a mini-shower several times a day and it’s like being on vacation! Dual nozzle: A single nozzle would probably have been fine for a newbie but I actually do use both. The “front” one is a little softer so my husband uses both, too - you can sort of lean forward or backward to get the right aim. This dual is not a “self clean” model, but clean tap water runs through every time you turn it on, so... it’s still cleaning itself. The little gate keeps them protected when not in use, so a spritz during your normal toilet cleaning schedule should be fine if you have concerns. Blast level: Can go from drinking fountain level to pro power washer level with a small twist. Warning - twist very, VERY slowly to start out! There are pressure adapters available but we don’t need one at this point. We’ve learned to respect the power of the bidet and go easy, but we are the only ones who use it. If you have it in a guest bath you might give people a heads-up. :-) To sum up, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Brondell Thinline!! I hope this is helpful to anyone still reading reviews and trying to decide. Your booty will thank you.

TLDR: 1. Installation took two hours. 2. I am very fat, and was worried this wouldn't aim correctly. No problems. 3. Cold water only isn't a problem. 4. Get a dual nozzle. I started installation at 7 PM. an hour before I was supposed to cook dinner. I finished at 9 PM, when I was supposed to put dinner on the table. We had chicken wings that night. There were two things that made it take that long. First, the right-hand bolt in the toilet seat did not want to move without a lot of wrenching, and the toilet is really close to the vanity on that side, so you can't get a good angle on the wrench. The other is that as soon as I touched the feeder line from the shutoff valve to the toilet, it sprang a leak. It had been in place for at least fifteen years, so I can't complain, but then I had to make a Home Depot run. I would recommend having a spare feeder line on hand if your toilet has been installed for a while. As for the bidet itself, I followed the directions literally and attached the hoses one at a time in situ. It would have been a little easier if I'd followed my instincts and attached everything while it was still on my desk, minimizing the amount of fiddling I had to do while reaching under and around the toilet. However, everything went together perfectly. I had no leaks on the first shot, and I didn't need the teflon tape. I am fat enough that I have to worry about things like, if I go to the movies at this theater, can I fit in the seats? So I was worried that I wouldn't "fit" a bidet. If you're not this fat, you probably think that's hilarious. If you are, you've been there. So I am pleased to report that it works just fine for me. This is a cold water only model. We are currently having a cold snap here, so if that were going to be a problem it would happen now. Truth is, it doesn't use that much water, so you're getting water that's been in the feeder hose in your (presumably) heated bathroom. I got the dual nozzle version, which I think is essential, and at least one nozzle will hit every spot in the undercarriage. As advertised, the part that goes under the toilet seat is very thin, so it's not going to change the angle of the toilet seat and maybe make it crack. Bonus: My husband has no interest in the bidet. I didn't even tell him I was getting one until it was here, and he's still looking at it doing the confused dog head tilt. But he did gamely let me show him how to use it. Oh my people, I will never forget the look on his face! On my deathbed, as the last flame of consciousness flickers out, I will remember his expression and giggle. Totally worth the purchase price for that alone.

[First review:] After a week and a day with this thing, we'd call it a total score. The parts are of good quality. The instructions are clear and correct. The installation is about 15 minutes if you have a flexible-hose connection to your toilet tank in good condition. Most of us amateurs tend to over-tighten plumbing connections; I got a leak-proof seat on the main connection with only hand-tightening. (Remember: all modern plumbing fittings like this have built-in washers.) Those thousands of people who say you don't need warm water are right. Both of us agree. Our tap water is as cold as it gets all year right now, and it just doesn't bother us, even though it's too cold to comfortably wash your hands with. Also, it took a few tries to learn how long to clean before I was completely clean--but it's no longer than using TP, after which, of course, you're not clean; the biggest mess you make, especially if you're furry, is with the TP. Now, we just dab dry with a washcloth. If you're wondering if it gets your whole butt wet, no. As for your vulva, my wife just pats dry with a washcloth, quickly, so no there too. I do recommend the dual-nozzle unless a female human is never going to use the toilet. I love the simplicity and minimalist design of this unit. It's what you need and no more, and with the slim mounting plate, it doesn't mess up your toilet seat fit on the rim the way those with thicker mounting plates do. For $30, it's crazy these aren't in every single house in the country. We have used almost zero TP since we got this; I only use a little to wipe the rim of the toilet after peeing, because men who splatter the toilet rim with pee are gross. [Amendment, 14 April 2020] While we still love it, and it works great in every other way, at about the one-year mark the front nozzle stopped retracting on its own. I contacted Brondell customer service and they were prompt with recommendations, all of which I followed and then some. Unfortunately, none of it worked. Because the unit is out of warranty, their offer was a 15% discount on a new one. I appreciate that the thing is only about 30 bucks, but I still think I should get more than a year's reliable service from it. I haven't decided whether to get another one or try another unit.

My wife and I recently moved, and in the process decided to update our bidet attachments. Unfortunately with the onset of COVID driving toilet paper prices through the roof, Americans also finally discovered the joys of the bidet. That meant finding one was difficult, and far more expensive, than it had been the last time I'd looked. Still, once you've experienced the cleanliness that a bidet can provide it's impossible to go back, so I went shopping. I turned to The Wirecutter, as I often do, to narrow down my list of products to shop for. I've almost never bought something they have recommended and had it turn out disappointing. Therefore, knowing that my master bath does not have a GFCI receptacle in the toilet area I looked to see what they recommended for a non-electric bidet attachment. That pointed me to this product, the Brondell Thinline SimpleSpa SS-250. Having experience installing other bidet attachments, I knew more or less what I'd be in for when the product arrived. What I was unprepared for was the level of quality I found in the box. My last bidet attachment included a T adapter that was made of soft, and barely serviceable plastic. The one included with the Brondell was metal, and had a solid heft. The braided hose was also metal and had excellent fittings. Even more surprising, they had included a length of Teflon tape in the package (I already had my own ready just in case) to ensure that the installation would be absolutely leak free. There is literally everything you'd need in the box except the tools! Installation was incredibly simple (I was done in less than 10 minutes), and left my toilet with nary a drip from any of the new fittings. I appreciated that the thin design meant that my toilet seat had no flex, meaning I didn't have to make any adjustment to ensure it would continue to operate normally (my last attachment required new bumpers under the seat to level it out). The activation "knob" was easy to confirm to be in the off position, not only by its orientation, but also by a satisfying click when it is disengaged. I really enjoy the knob compared to old dial and lever style bidet attachments I've used in the past. It is dead simple for anyone to use, and provides a pleasant ramp in pressure so you can dial things in exactly as you like them! Without getting into details, I've been very satisfied with the use of this Brondell, and will likely look into more of them in the future for our other bathrooms. I know my old attachments installed in the guest bathrooms made many a convert, and I have no doubt that more of these Brondells will do the same. Great product, and truly a higher quality than many of the other options that I've found out there. I'd recommend this to anyone without electricity near enough to their toilet to get a heated option.

Easy to install by this 74 year old. Fits toilet well. Clear instructions. Quality item. Very pleased.

I've had this bidet for a little over a month. I have been using bidets for about 6 years now. I wanted to use this bidet for a while before reviewing it to make sure it was as good as everyone made it sound. This bidet is absolutely worth the money. I've had a $250 bidet & this bidet performs just as good at a fraction of the price. I'm not a fan of heated seats so not having that option was not a big deal for me. I also don't mind not having hot water (although it is very hot at the moment where I live so I might be singing a different tune during the winter). I also have had a bidet that it not low profile & I much prefer this low profile type. Cleaning the ones that are not low profile proved to be a challenge. They never seemed clean near the bolts & I was not able to effectively get in there & properly clean it. This low profile budet seems more sanitary & much easier to clean. Installation was a breeze. My husband was away for a few weeks & I was anxious to get the 3 that I purchased installed. I'm not a super handy woman but I can do some pretty basic stuff. I installed 3 of these in about an hour & a half. There was no electrical plug to install which made it very easy. I was able to get it almost right the first time on every installation. The only issue I had was I installed one & it shot a little to the side so I had to straighten it out. Other than that it was easy peasy lemon squeezy. I'm not sure if the water pressure has to do with your plumbing but these things can be a little strong. It's smart to turn very slowly & get a feel of what is comfortable for you. One time I meant to turn it off & instead turned it up. I almost jumped off the toilet. I always had my expensive bidet on full blast & it still wasn't as strong as this bidet. I also like that you can have it on as short or as long as you like. Overall, I am very happy with this bidet. I would recommend this if you're in the market for one of these things. The only cons would probably be no heated seat & no heated water. Those two things end up being pros for me because I didn't want to have to either run an extension cord to a plug or have an outlet installed near my toilets.

Simple is always best. I am so pleased with my Brondell bidet. Once I found the correct alignment, it is spot on using tap water that is not at all uncomfortable. I can not seriously ever consider returning to toilet paper that seems so primitive. If this ever breaks down, I would replace it immediately. It changes how you think about your trip to the bathroom!
