KOHLERPureWash M250 Manual Elongated Bidet Toilet Seat, White, Quiet-Close Lid Prevents Slamming, Cool Water, Easy Installation with Quick-Release Hinges, Adjustable Spray Position & Pressure

Right out of the box, you can see that this product is superior to most of the bidet attachments. The fittings are metal, not plastic, and the hose is strong. Both of these differences mean it is less likely that it will spring a leak and potentially cause a lot of water damage to your home. I'm very happy with the performance of this bidet seat, but my only warning is that when you order this PureWash, you will actually get the PureTide, which is somewhat different. If this doesn't bother you, I recommend it.

This was a fairly easy install since it is completely water pressure driven. Being a first bidet, there was a short learning experience on how to use it with the different angles adjustment and stream pressure adjustment. All was a quick learn. Works really well and makes you wonder why you haven't always used one!

If you’ve decided to get a bidet, I’ll first review this specific unit and the installation and then discuss my impressions of the practice after 64 years of not doing so.Overall, this is an excellent unit; it is well made, and I like the Biscuit color and elongated shape, which perfectly matches my Kolher toilet. This was one of the primary reasons I picked the unit, being a fan of Kohler products in the past. I’d give the unit five stars if the hardware that shipped worked with my existing Kohler toilet, but it does not. This is a caveat I’ll provide for anyone hoping to use this product: double-check the size of all the existing fittings! As shown in the photo I supplied, my Kohler toilet has a 3/8th proprietary metal line attached to the water outlet (which matches that 3/8 size). The Tee connector that comes with this product is 1/2 for all connections. In my case, this meant spending more money and time getting the right connections. I actually had a pro plumber remove the original water valve (compression to a water pipe) with a dual 3/8 valve, as seen in the photo I provided. As you can see, now one 3/8th hose goes from the toilet to the water line, and the 2nd goes from that valve to the Bidet. IOW, the white plastic cable (1/2 to 1/2 supplied) wasn’t used, nor was the supplied T valve. I had the plumber use a metal braided line to the bidet (3/4 to 1/2). It costs a bit more money, but I think the metal lines will be far more reliable in the end. So again, the WARNING (if you cut to the chase): do not assume that the T valve or any of the lines supplied with the bidet will work depending on your exiting lines. Even if you have a Kohler toilet!As for the unit, the seat is very nice, and I love the quick connect and reconnect feature for cleaning. Installation of this base unit is super simple. Overall quality is very good. Do realize the control handle sticks out a few inches and can only be used on one side. This should not be an issue for left-handed users; it is just that if you have a tight fit in your bathroom, you’ll have to ensure you have a good 3-5 inches to the right side of the toilet. The unit comes with three different spray nozzles; we used the default and think it (so far) is acceptable.As to the decision (after 64 years) to go for a Bidet. It has been a few days since installation, and so far, I will be a bidet convert, as will my wife. The primary concern was the temperature of the water (there is no way to heat it with this basic non-electric unit). The room-temperature water is not an issue whatsoever. I’m not saying heated water wouldn’t be nice, but it certainly isn’t required. We desired to use minimal paper and less of it going to our septic system, and I can say this will easily be accomplished. And more importantly, I do feel a lot cleaner after using a bidet, as you may already know if you’ve been a bidet convert. And if not yet a convert, if, like me, this is a new experiment, I can state that after a few days, I’m really happy with our decision to go this route, and I hope you will be as well.

**Second Update**OK, this Kohler bidet is garbage. First unit leaked and second unit sometimes leaks but recently the plastic that latches it into place broke. Engineered to fail.*UPDATE*In less than one month of using the bidet is leaking. As soon as you rotate the control arm water begins to leak out. I'm going to exchange it for another since I like everything about it, but it looks like this device wasn't engineered well since others are reporting the same thing in other reviews.------------------------So, 2 years ago I dipped my toes into the world of bidets purchasing an Alpha Bidet (version 1). It worked quite well for 2 years, but 3 things made me stop using it.1. The gray rubber "feet" that you see on the Hibbetts model and Alpha model don't hold up. After awhile they start to tear and I ended up taking the feet from the lid and replacing the ones on the seat that tore (they bear the most weight).2. The color is a bluish/purplish white that didn't quite match our Kohler toilet.3. The way that it attaches to the toilet started to fail. The spring loaded quick release didn't click into place unless I pulled on it.So after getting rid of this I tried out the Brondell thin attachment. This installed easily and seemed well constructed. I was a bit wary of the thin plastic that the control attached to but underneath it has 2 pieces of metal for reinforcement. The issue with this one is it just doesn't hit the spot. On an elongated toilet I had to really sit back and lean forward which was uncomfortable. I'm not returning it because it was in our toilet and only $20, perhaps it'll see use another day.So, now to this bidet. First off, the color matches our toilet which is great. The rubber feet on the seat and lid seem much more durable than the gray feet on the Alpha bidet. Installation was a lot easier than the Alpha bidet as well, with the hardest part making the connections tight. The Alpha bidet had metal connections whereas this one is plastic. That's a bit of a shame. The seat itself seems much more durable than the Alpha bidet, but there is some squeaking of plastic under my keester. This one aims better than the Brondell attachment, but still doesn't match the sniper like accuracy of the Alpha bidet. However, using the control wand I'm able to strafe the "brown town" like a German Stuka in WW2.So far so good with this bidet, but if it fails miserable or starts leaking I'll be back to change my review.
