Looking for some good recommendations for bidet. So far I have only tried the hand held spray which I am not a big fan of. I am now looking to get bidet something like "evekare Classic Smart Bidet Toilet Seat" (260$) which is sold in Bunnings. They also have a cheaper 100$ model but it doesn't have warm water option, which would be a good option in Melbourne's winter hence, I am looking at the Classic model.

I have not found any reviews on OzB for this brand hence keen to get reviews/recommendations from anyone who may have used this or are aware of any other good brand/product

    Toto is the god tier of bidet

    • Benoffie on 07/02/2025 - 13:55

      Came to say same. If you're actually going to consider a bidet, why not just get a Toto?

      • sumyungguy on 07/02/2025 - 13:58

        I have Toto, low end model retails for $1,899

      When you turn it on does it feel like the rains down in Africa?

      Mine goes up to 11. For my birthday I also pop in a Fisherman's Friend. 14 minutes is my record.

    Yuck

      Why so many downvotes? Is Downvoter the only one cultured enough to enjoy a freshly wiped bottom, with a hint of natural fragrance?

    Check that the evekare seat will fit on your existing toilet.
    I had to replace my toilet recently and settled on this mondella one from Bunnings because it was difficult to find something the evekare would fit on.
    It's been great.

      My friend bought the 100$ model and fitted it himself without any issues.

      • Chris Topher on 08/02/2025 - 19:30

        Fitted. Oh. fitted… for a moment… I thought you said…

    Having installed and used 2 non-electric bidet toilet seats in Sydney, and in many hotels throughout Korea and Japan during their winter, I think warm water is unnecessary.

    I'm a strong advocate for the non-elec ones - easy to install, little can go wrong, no need to pay extra for branding/warranty.

    Get those around the $110 mark, check the shape (D or round) and ensure water inlet is on the correct side for your bathroom.

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 07/02/2025 - 22:58

      We paid $100 for one from bunnings 4 years ago. Still running, so to speak.

    • Nickels n Dimes on 08/02/2025 - 20:17

      I agree with that approach. The cold water ones are fine at $100 or so, you can get a heated unit online for $250-350 or so, but will also need a power point nearby.

      My only gripe with these units is most of them reduce the opening size of the toilet bowl, so if a bloke uses it to take a standup leak, it will splash around the back of the seat, which won't happen with a regular unit like this https://www.litfad.com/chalk-vitreous-china-temperature-cont…
      or a Toto-style unit

    I've gone through a couple of bidets now. Initially the Xiaomi Smartmi and then the brand Cefito. They both lasted about a year.

    The one i'm using now is the Simplus Smart Bidet and it's been going strong for 3 years now.

    Just a couple of notes:
    * Get a backflow prevention valve
    * Check your system isn't using recycled water.

    I’ve got a $60 amazon special. No electrics, too hard basket for me. Water is warm enough in QLD.

    I had a handheld one and I hated it too.

    I got an under seat, non-electric bidet attachment and it's the BEST!!!!!!

    Here is an example: Tudaloo Bidet https://tudaloo.com.au/products/tudaloo-bidet-attachment

    They don't have left hand option which I needed.

    Note: If you buy a full toilet bidet and it breaks down, be prepared for a heavy repair or replacement bill (If out of warranty) and even in warranty, I heard stories about it not being fully covered or something….

    Buying a seat bidet or a seat bidet attachment is your best option for money, ease of use and if it breaks down, you only need to replace the seat or attachment.

    One thing worth mentioning is that if you install it yourself and the bidet causes a leak/flooding etc later down the road insurance may or may not cover the damage. So may be worth using a plumber.

    We actually use a water powered one ourselves but I found recently a handheld silicone one worked well enough so probably going to remove it at some point. There's some very good electric powered handheld ones now too.

      Installing a diverter and bidet toilet seat is considered a minor plumbing task, like swapping a shower head or changing a washer, that can be safely done as a DIY project. However, for more complex plumbing work or anything involving the installation or modification of water, gas, or drainage systems, it's best to hire a licensed plumber to ensure compliance with local regulations and safety standards.

    I first tried a Luxe, which lasted about a year and then started leaking. I have had this for a few years now on all my toilets and it was cheaper and works very well
    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0BWN4GSVR/ref=ppx_yo_d…

    The advantage of this one is that the main part unclips from the seat which makes it easier to clean, and it comes in left and right models (you want the control to be on the same side as the water connection)

    For some reason the cold water is not a problem, no one notices it, even in Melbourne winter

    The biggest problem with having a bidet is that once you get used to it, you miss it when you are away and don't have it. My teenage kids were initially repulsed at the concept, now when we got away they say the thing they miss most about home is the bidet!

    • Nickels n Dimes on 08/02/2025 - 19:48

      $51 and comes with every accessory you need, it says they even colour code it to match your knob - I kid you not!

    Id recommend water. Solvents can burn, detergents make your butt slippery.
