ALPHA BIDET JX Elongated Bidet Toilet Seat, White, Endless Warm Water, Rear and Front Wash, LED Light, Quiet Operation, Wireless Remote, Low Profile Sittable Lid, 3 Year Warranty (Elongated)

I have been exposed to bidets over the years when traveling abroad. They were the old school type, as in a hot and cold faucet with a fountain you hovered over. Honestly, it seemed to be more trouble than they were worth. Then…..I was scheduled for a lumbar fusion surgery. My retired doctor brother-in-law had the same surgery, which went well and fixed his issues….except for one thing. He now has a problem twisting around on throne after doing his business. Fearing being stuck in the same precarious position I was determined to not have to do contort myself after my “morning constitutional”. After doing copious research, I found my answer in the Alpha Bidet.The unit itself is easy to install using the included instructions. I got it done in 15 minutes. After charging the water line to make sure there were no leaks, I plugged it in and fired it up. I do not have an electrical outlet right next to the toilet, so I ran an extension cord from the GFCI outlet next to my sink. The bidet itself requires a minimum 15 amp circuit. I made sure to get a beefy grounded 15 amp cord Amazon was kind enough to tell me other customers bought when purchasing the bidet. I installed cable channeling to hide the cord running down the wall, then attached the cord to the underside of my bathroom cabinet. It looks decent, but I will likely install a plug next to the toilet later.Anyhoo….on to what it is like to use our new “throne”. First off, it has a heated seat…something we greatly appreciate here in the damp and chilly PacNW. As your tushy contacts the toasty seat, the bidet begins to circulate water. I assume it is filling a reservoir to heat its contents. The noise will cease as you do your business. The next step is to activate the wash cycle. I will stick to the “rear wash” cycle in this review.The remote has a wash and dry preset. I found that to be unbearably long, so I control the was and dry myself using the separate buttons. One push of the rear wash button produces a stationary stream. You can move that stream using a forward/rear button. It works pretty good, but a second push of the rear wash button is “money”. The water stream begins to move forward and back in a “scrubbing” motion. The forward/rear button will allow you to adjust the stream to wherever you want it, allowing you to clean a larger area. The first couple of times I used the bidet I flushed prior to using it so I could see what it was washing off of my bum. Without getting too descriptive, it definitely does a good job of power washing. BTW….Water temp is adjustable to your personal preferences.After you turn off the wash function, hit the air dry. I found it works pretty well, but you will likely want to use a square of toilet paper to finish the drying cycle. When you do this you see how well this unit works. You will see that one square of TP was only needed for drying, because after wiping there is no “residue” on the paper. I am expecting our huge supply of Costco TP to last forever and I am not sure what I am going to do with all our flushable wipes! Really, all this thing is missing is a fragrance dispenser to freshen the room as you leave.We simply love the Alpha Bidet. It is a great all around experience for you derrière, it will cut your TP/Wipe use by 80% and it will likely help you avoid plumbing issues. I have a friend who owns a Roto Rooter franchise and he says he LOVES flushable wipes because they do in fact cause plumbing problems. Give your hind end a treat….buy yourself an Alpha Bidet.

I’ve used cold water bidets for years and while a shot of cold water to your booty isn’t the most pleasant thing, they did the job great, but recently I’ve been slowly “upgrading my life” and this is the cherry on top by far.I live in Minnesota, I’m a 6’2″ man, 198 lbs, generally healthy guy, but I tend to get chilly easily when the a/c is too high or in the winter. Sitting down on a cold toilet seat, I’ve always thought, cheese and rice that just stole a nice amount of my body heat. This does just the opposite, it warms up like “should it be that warm?” but in a good way. It infuses you with warmth. The instant endless warm water is no joke and with the pulsing action of the wash and dry button starts, it’s heaven. The pressure is perfectly calibrated as well. Those $30 manual bidets can release way too much pressure onto your tender toilet parts and can often give you an involuntary enema if you’re not careful slowly, slowly turning on the water.As you can see by my setup, I’ve got my cheap washcloth tower because I don’t have time to sit through three drying cycles to dry me bum, so this is what I do… After I wash and the wand retracks, I lean to the left or right, forward or back and let that soak up 90% of the water, I toss it in a small $3 black plastic garbage bin you can maybe see tucked into the upper right hand corner, I then dangle my bits back into the toilet and then activate the dryer. Then I’m dry in 30 seconds instead of 3mins.It’s super easy to clean, it self-cleans before and after each use by shooting water into the wand retraction canal and the nano coating is like Teflon. I extended the wand after a month of use and it looked like it did the first day. I cleaned it anyway. I want to take care of this thing. I love this thing. It’s probably my favorite possession. If you gave me the ultimatum, “you can have your mobile phone or your Alpha JX” it would really be a difficult decision. Seriously.Also, you just showered, now ya gotta poo, I feel like that halfway undoes my shower. Or if you’re ill or have hemorrhoids or have to poo a lot, it’s nice getting so clean, so comfortably, it really just makes the whole experience positive, hygienic, comfortable and just plain superior.I keep TP for guests, but when my mother comes over I remove it. She’s terrified of the thing. It absolutely delights me and ensures her visit is swift. ;-)The remote is easy to work. The remote is fine if the lights are on, but they really need to add a back-light to it. At night I just go by feel, if I don’t want to turn on the light. My only gripe.At first I didn’t like the white night light, I liked the blue cast of other bidets, but the more I thought of it, if there is something off with your body, it often manifests in discolored pee and poo. I wanna see that, not have to interpret what I’m seeing through a blue light.Pro tip, gentlemen, after you do your business, tuck your front junk between your thighs and put your knees together during a wash… unless you want your entire tackle box wet. But hey, if it makes ya happy, I say go for it.Everything is adjustable, water pressure, water temp, seat temp. On that note, with the instant water heater you will save money over the long run. Cheaper units have a small tank of water warmed with a heater that usually draws about 200 watts constantly and it usually won’t last you though a proper clean. The Alpha JX keeps no water warm until you turn it on and it’s Endless!It’s awesome. It took about 45m to install. Buy it, you won’t regret it. It’s also got a 3 year warranty.

Ok, I know what you’re thinking….$390 for a toilet seat that washes your rear?? Who in their right mind…..?This purchase convinced me to get an Amazon credit card for the $150 or whatever discount off your purchase, and I’ve never looked back. I can’t even use the toilet at work anymore, wiping like some kind of neanderthal savage….I originally first used a bidet at a friend’s house 2 years ago. It was the kitchen sink sprayer style that clips on to the side of the toilet tank. You lean to one side and spray, which seems to me would just get poop particles everywhere. I went home after that and bought one of the cheapo $25 basic bidets with the manual controls on the right side. Besides the ridiculously strong cold water spray that felt like I was prepping for a colonoscopy, it was ok. I used that for about 6 months.Then I saw this Alpha. It was like a revelation from the baby Jesus. Initially I balked at the price, $390 is almost enough to buy a new Xbox series X. Or make a car payment. Or a new iPad. Maybe a new Weber smoker. But, thanks to a few glasses of Bourbon, as with all my impulse purchases, plus the fact I could apply for the Amazon CC and get a big discount, I pulled the trigger and WOW. This thing is like the SpaceX Falcon Rocket of bidets. What a beautiful piece of equipment. The seat warms up when you sit on it. The water jet is warm and just the right pressure. There’s a blow dry function. There’s an LED light. It’s self cleaning. There’s a remote control that comes with a holder you can mount on the wall. The installation was super easy. I’ve told epic stories to everyone I can about the marvels of this bidet, so much that I should be a salesperson for them. This kind of technology makes me believe we will get to Mars sooner than later. Climate change will be stopped in it’s tracks. All of the wildfires in the country will be extinguished and humanity will live in harmony. Are you worried about the next pandemic and a shortage of toilet paper? Not me! BRING IT ON COVID! Just get it. Now.

I have nothing to compare this to but man is this nice! The heated seat is nice in the cold winter and using this device saves our septic system from being overloaded with tushy wipes. So far so good and no problems with it. Husband installed it rather quickly and easily.

Purchased this for my Mother-in-law as she has dementia and going to bathroom was a struggle getting clean using TP. She is not a fan as she doesn’t understand what’s going on “down there”. I’ve never used one, but I tried it out. It’s a game changer.Tons of options to choose from. You can change water temperature, seat temperature, water pressure, direction of stream, front and back options for ladies, and much more. I believe I’m going to install on all our toilets. It will even dry your bottom if you want.
