Man, when I was buying mine I strongly considered dropping $500 on a primo, top of the line, electric bidet. I'm a cheap bastard and I couldn't bring myself to click the checkout button. Now that I know how life changing bidets really are, my next will be a fully featured unit. They say you spend a third of your life on your bed and a third in your shoes but if you eat as much Mexican as I do that's at least a tenth on the toilet. Mite as well invest!

Yeah, you would think there would be some kind of restrictor on temp. Obviously it needs to get up to 75-80c to properly sanitize things like dishes and in a sensitive area that can definitely cause some irritation. But this had to have been closer to 85-90c. Great for black tea, bad for your rectum.

Yeah, it really put my mood in the toilet. I was just so flushed with regret and plunged down the drain of missery. That's all the toilet puns I have in me, I'm pooped.

So there are non electric models that plumb into the hot water line and the toilet line separately. There is a little knob on the side that controls the hot to cold ratio. In case anyone is curious the model I have is the brondell swash ecoseat non electric. Despite the recent issue I would still wholeheartedly recommend this an an entry level bidet option.

With a little bit of stretching there can definitely be some penetration. In all honestly, it does have a bit more water pressure then I would like sometimes but the model I have doesn't have any way to adjust the pressure level.

It's connected to the same line as the shower and the water heater is in the laundry room immediately on the other side of the wall. The proximity to the bathroom and pre heating the shower absolutely set me up for failure here.
