Yoja Bidet YB220-Hot and Cold Water Bidet Attachment-Dual Nozzles with Self Cleaning Functions, for Whole Family, Using Unibody Valve Housing and Facuet Valves

Now I had my doubts about buying one of these things, as they're not exactly common here in the US, but sometimes you just gotta admit there there are a few things that other countries do better than we do, and this is just one of them. I mean, think of it this way, if a tiny bit of poo were to get on you anywhere else, you wouldn't be content with cleaning it off with just some TP, would you? Well after 40 years of streaks in my drawers, I wasn't.Anyway, if you're even the least bit knowledgeable about how plumbing and pressurized water lines work, it's fairly easy to install. The only thing I had any real problem with is that I have a vanity I had to drill a hole through to run the hot water line. (and yes, living in a northern state, Hot water was a must for the winter months, which was one of the reasons I picked this model) It came with an instruction book, but again, if you know how water lines work, you probably won't need it, I never even looked at the thing and was able to install it without any trouble.Another big selling point for me was the flex lines and metal fittings that come with this thing. I looked at quite a few models before deciding to go with this one, but most of them had cheep plastic lines you have to cut yourself and make up and PVC fittings. Having these pre-made flex lines made the job that much easier and I have way more confidence that the line isn't going to blow out on me in the future. It also came with a bit of Teflon tape, but I wasn't sure there was going to be enough there, so I ordered a roll when I ordered this, rather too much than too little, though looking at the amount that was sent in the box, I reckon there might have been enough there, but I just went ahead and used the roll that I bought, it was less than $2 on here, so why not.I'd say the #1 piece of advice I could offer is, don't bother with the plastic tool they send to disconnect and connect the fittings, it just doesn't get the job done and strips out pretty easily, get yourself a good adjustable wrench or a set of box wrenches, that way you can make sure all the fittings are on good and tight.Now as far as how it works, the stream is quite strong, even on a very low setting, this is a good thing of course, but does catch you off guard at first. Turn the knob one way, and it's supposed to be for the front (for the ladies) and the other way for the back (for everyone) but out of curiosity, I had to play with both, and what I found was that they both seem to hit the same area in the back, just the one that says it's for the backside is more concentrated, while the one that says it's for the front is more spread out, but both are good for washing where I (a man) need to wash. So you ladies might be disappointed with the front feature. One pro tip I would recommend, before you use it, run the hot water in the sink for a few seconds to flush the cold water out of the line, also run the cleaning feature on the Bidet to run any remaining cold water out of the flex before you get ready to wash yourself with it, otherwise you might get blasted with nothing but cold water at first.I found reaching the controls were quite easy, even if you really can't see them from that angle, so you might want to take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with everything so you know how to feel it all out. And yes, if you reach down and turn it on, even a little, when you're not sitting on the toilet, the water will shoot out and probably hit you right in the face. Also it does raise the back of the toilet seat up a bit with it underneath it, so there is a slight angle to it, not enough to really bother me, but I might add some extended bumpers to the seat in the future just to level it out more.Overall, even though I've just installed it and tried it out, I'd say I'm pretty pleased with it, I do feel cleaner back there. I'm sure it will take a while to get use to it, hard to deprogram 40 years of habit of just using toilet paper, and I am a bit worried about how it will be received by guests using the bathroom, but considering how inexpensive this model was and how easy it was to install, I have no complaints so far.

I have never even thought of using a bidet before. However, this unit got good reviews and I thought I would try it. It could be returned if I did not like it. Installation was easy and fast, about 15 minutes. Usage instructions were minimal and not very informative. So, I'll give you some instructions. While you relieve yourself turn on the water supply by using the front control with the rear control in the middle position. This will allow the water to warm up if you have a long run and normally have to wait for your water to get warm at your faucet. When the water is warm, I can feel my butt getting warm, close the front control. The center control selects a rearward or more frontward spray position. Use the position that is appropriate for your sex and shape. Important, turn the control slowly, the high pressure setting will most likely be too strong for most people. Use a fairly high but not painful pressure to get the cleanest possible. When you have the pressure set to where you like it go ahead and slowly turn the back control toward the warmer setting. Stop when it is the correct temperature for you. While the pressure and temperature is correct you should move around slightly in order to have the spray hit the entire area to be cleaned. Caution, do not flush while using the bidet sprayer. This unit does not have a pressure regulator and flushing while using the sprayer will result in a very hot and unpleasant experience. When you are satisfied you are clean, return the center control to the center, off, position. Blot dry and you are finished.

This Yoja YB220 is my second bidet, should have been my first. The first one came with a remote and a need to be plugged into electricity, it was also many times more expensive than this Yoja. Too bad it did not fit the toilet properly. So this Yoja unit needs to be hooked to both hot and cold water, no big deal there, although valves that do not completely shut off made this task less than fun but that is not the fault of the Yoja. The water temperature, in a house with mostly one person in it, can pretty much be left alone once a comfortable temperature is found. When getting ready to use it, I turn on the self cleaning function to get the proper temperature and it becomes obvious fairly quickly when this is achieved. The self cleaning function can then be turned off. I like that this Yoja has, shall we say, plenty of pressure to deal with the situation. Care is suggested when turning on the person cleaning function and (at least with my water system) there is more than enough water pressure to get that 'shower fresh' condition restored pretty darn quick. So far the 'female freshness' capability has not been tested. Around Christmas time that portion of the testing process will probably be completed. To complete the process a bit of 'patting dry' is necessary and that's it. I like this bidet just fine. However, adding this to the toilet obviously raises the back of the toilet seat and not the front making extra height bumpers necessary. When ordering, I noticed "If you need bumpers to raise seat height let us know." or something like that. And just how am I supposed to do that? I notice Amazon 'suggests' buying certain seat bumpers, yea, nice. I waited to see what the actual change in seat height would be before ordering (there are different heights available) and now I am waiting for them to arrive. That is my only complaint, it is obvious that there is going to be a change in seat height so why not include what is going to be needed to start with (such as the adjustable height bumpers)? This is a nice bidet system for a decent price. In my case, having the bathroom hot water not too far away worked out just fine and the (included) four feet water line was more than long enough. I did have to go to Menard's to get a flexible hose for the toilet fill line because when the T was added for the bidet cold water line, I collapsed the old tubing line trying to get it to fit. All water lines ought to be stainless wrapped flexible lines anyway so this constitutes an 'upgrade' to me. So, I like this unit and I would recommend it although if someone had some sort of mobility or other issues then maybe something with a remote is worth considering.
