Astor Bidet Fresh Water Spray Non-Electric Mechanical Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment

Bottom line

Simple to attach to any standard toilet seat, the Astor Bidet leaves users feeling fresher and cleaner. By cutting down on the amount of toilet paper necessary, this mechanical bidet helps reduce paper waste and makes moist wipes -- which are bad for plumbing and septic systems -- a thing of the past.

Type

Non-electric, easy to install. The Astor Bidet is an easy-install toilet seat attachment that functions as a bidet, no special tools or plumbing skills required. "With the help of a screwdriver, you can install it in 10-20 minutes. It connects directly to your fresh water supply and uses water pressure to operate," says an individual product review. It's non-electric, so you don't have to trade toilet paper waste for electricity usage.

Performance

Simple yet highly effective. A control knob turned to the desired pressure setting controls the Astor Bidet. According to one Amazon.com owner, "It's nothing fancy but does exactly what it is supposed to do. Very easy install with no leaks or any other problems." This bidet toilet seat attachment gets 4.6 stars out of 5 in more than 650 user reviews. More than two-thirds of posters give it 5 stars out of 5, and most rave about this simple unit's performance.

Lifestyle features

Cold water doesn't bother most. The Astor Bidet is comfortable to use, owners say, despite the fact that it uses only cold water. Most aren't bothered by the chill, with the majority of users posting comments at Amazon.com saying the cold water is refreshing.

Owners also like that the Astor Bidet cuts down on their toilet paper needs; only a small piece is needed after using the bidet attachment. It's also small, unobtrusive and doesn't take up much space alongside the toilet seat. Although it comes only in white, it's constructed of durable plastic that prevents leaks and rust, and is backed by a one-year warranty.
