Luxe Bidet MB110

Bottom line

The Luxe Bidet MB110 is an environmentally friendly toilet-seat attachment that uses water in place of toilet paper to clean delicate areas after using the bathroom. It dramatically reduces toilet paper use, which most owners appreciate because it's less stressful on plumbing and septic systems. The bidet attachment is easy to install and use, with a retracting nozzle that hides out of sight when not needed.

Type

Seamless installation. The Luxe Bidet MB110 works with almost any standard toilet seat, and the spray nozzle automatically retracts when not in use for added sanitation. With just a wrench and a screwdriver, it can be installed easily within 10 to 20 minutes, although a few owners posting reviews at Amazon.com say it takes closer to 45 minutes. The bidet uses fresh water, cutting down on the amount of toilet paper needed. For homeowners with septic tanks, the MB110 can reduce the need to have the tank emptied as frequently.

Performance

Accurate placement, pressure control. After installation, the MB110 is in an ideal location for cleaning all the right spots, according to users. Its pressure-control knob on the right side is easy to use and helps prevent the shock of too much water pressure, they add. Even so, some owners call the pressure too strong even at the lowest setting.

A number of Amazon.com posters say they use the Luxe Bidet MB110 instead of moist wipes, which aren't good for most plumbing systems and can damage septic systems.

Lifestyle features

Discreet design. The Luxe Bidet MB110 has a convenient retracting nozzle that makes it inconspicuous when not in use. It also preserves hygiene, reducing the likelihood that bacteria and germs will come into contact with the nozzle. The bidet attachment comes only in white, so it may not blend well with beige and dark-colored bathroom fixtures.

One potential downside is that the MB110 raises the back of the toilet seat by about a half-inch. Most users say this isn't a problem, but a few mention at Amazon.com that it takes some getting used to. The Luxe Bidet comes with a one-year warranty.
