@brainmist I always feel conflicted. On one hand, I can’t help but consider the worst-case butt-based scenarios—but it’s not like I can un-do my warm buns.
I installed this one after installing the BioBidet one that runs > $300
This one is good, not as many features but it has heated seat and heated water. You cannot adjust the temp but the price reflects this. You cannot adjust the flow rate or stream but the price reflects this. It has two settings and they are both off-center slightly so you’ll have to do some articulating with your body. The biobidet is centered up and adjustable in both pressure, type of spray and temp, but it’s like 4x the cost. The BioBidet also seems more capable of self cleaning as I’ve had to manually clean the nozzle of the Moen at least 2 or 3 times. Cleaning is as simple as a wiping of the tip of the sprayer, not super intensive work but the machine isn’t able to do it itself whereas the BioBidet has been capable.
I am super happy with this Moen one after being spoiled with the BioBidet, this is a budget friendly “good enough and sure beats dry paper” alternative. It has held up nicely for about a year that I’ve used it without issue.
Be sure to check your toilet shape for elongated or round. I installed the elongated BioBidet on a round toilet and didn’t catch it but it still “works.” I installed this elongated Moen on an elongated toilet and its fit is perfect.
@LincolnMics
Was this a “good enough to use in a second toilet” option, or did your biobidet fail? If so, how long did it last?
Ooops… Missed your edit at the end…
I got this last time it came around. It’s pretty nice, the spray isn’t as powerful and focused as on my BioBidet, and it feels slightly off-center, but much more volume (like a firehose versus a power washer). Installation was just as easy–plug in, install T in the water line–but the included mounting bolts kinda suck.
a better dialog: …there, at a cubicle, sat the new hire, a young man by the name of Gable.
Mr. Blake couldn’t help himself. They were alone, after all. Nobody would overhear him now, stopping by the boy’s desk. He leaned closer. “How is it, Gable, that you manage to maintain such a resplendent sense of being?”
“A bidet, sir,” Gable said in a breathless whisper.
Mr. Blake stepped back. Of course, he’d spooked the boy. Why else would he stutter and dismiss him so quickly? Mr. Blake held up his hands and smiled, showing he meant no harm. “I understand you don’t want to share the secrets of youth with a withered old fool like me,” he said. “I bid you a good day, as well, Gable.”
“Oh, no, sir,” said Gable. “This was a private matter. Very private. But invigorating nonetheless. And warm.”
“That’s how it is with me and the wife, as well,” said Mr. Blake. “Why bother getting the upstairs spotless when the guests will keep to the first floor and maybe the backyard. Were you entertaining then?”
“Oh yes, sir,” said Gable, looking up with a smile, as if this were just what he was hoping to hear. “I’m more refreshed than you can even see!”
“A refreshing weekend for the body and the soul, then,” Mr. Blake said.
“Certainly,” said Gable. “I’ve refreshed aspects of myself that are buried deep and rarely observed by others.”
“Wonderful,” said Mr. Blake with a chuckle. “And how did you achieve such enlightenment?”
“I just did a bit of cleaning,” said Gable, “downstairs.”
“Well, aren’t you looking chipper and refreshed first thing on a Monday morning,” Mr. Blake said.
And with that, he made his way to his office to begin his work.
@Wollyhop LOL. The reaction from a friend I finally convinced to try one (because TP was unavailable) was: “WAIT. You mean all this time I’ve just been smearing shit around my ass with a dry piece of paper?”
I have a BioBidet with more features than this. Had it for 9 years, had to replace the seat once.
Price on this unit is pretty good, and any bidet is better than no bidet. If you’re price sensitive this might be a deal for you. If not, you might want something with more configurability.
How many of you actually have an electrical outlet in your water closet or close to your toilet? I’m not running an extension cord across the vanity and under the door!
@Brianmeh@troy I have been doing mine with 10-15 foot cord at least 16 Ga, maybe 14Ga. I know it’s not recommended, it’s set up where cord is not in the way and on good 20 A circuits.
These aren’t the kind with super-high current draw but some new ones are. I did hear that “new code” requires separate circuits in new installations. But I think that is mostly for the permanent hard-wired toilet, not just a seat. But if I did a major bathroom remodel with wiring, yes I’d have electrician install dedicated outlet.

detailed specs
@rjquillin i sesrched, but
the company doesn’t seem to carry this product any moen.
@phendrick @rjquillin Maybe if you spend less time moening & more time searching you’d have found it too!
Is this long bidet only for when you take a long crap?
@phendrick In my case it wouldn’t matter either way; I prefer logform content so all my craps are director’s cuts.
Bought this when it was previously offered. These butts endorse.
The funny thing to me about heated bidet seats is that I will make a conscious effort in public restrooms to avoid seats with any residual warmth.
How are you going to know it has residual warmth… unless you sit on it first @brainmist?
/showme a seat with residual warmth
@brainmist I always feel conflicted. On one hand, I can’t help but consider the worst-case butt-based scenarios—but it’s not like I can un-do my warm buns.
On the other hand is usually toilet paper.
@haydesigner Did someone just walk out? Residual warmth.
Not really complicated.
In a public restroom, do you queue up behind the occupied toilet? Because that’d be most likely to be a warm seat.
@brainmist @haydesigner Same way you check if a lamp post is frozen.
@brainmist @haydesigner
Of course… WHY would you queue up behind the vacant one?? Oh yeah, waiting for the seat to cool…!
/showme duck with bill that looks like toilet lid.
@mediocrebot
That quacks me up for some reason.
@chienfou Sometimes @mediocrebot does good but sometimes he just wings it.
@chienfou @yakkoTDI Wait til you see the bill.
Every time I’m thirsty, I keep hitting my head
Electricity and water right by my butt. What could possibly go wrong?
@PaulChernoff
OTOH it would likely help with sphincter tone…
@chienfou @PaulChernoff Sphincter tones? Le Pétomane - is that you?
Nailed it yesterday
This very device has made every poop a home game. It came intact easy to install and made the worst task of the day not as bad.

The word “elongated” has been ruined for me. Musk+Doge

Can it make a margarita?
You’re gross!
These are for the rich facks out there who can’t even wipe their own butts.
SHAME

@Brianmeh I had two GFCI’s installed for $120 each for both of my bathrooms. Worth it!

@pskemp2
I find it suspect that Alabama is in the forefront of sales on this item.
No Georgia Red. . . . that’s ok in this situation.
@jrwofuga There’s probably Georgia Red for some people on a periodic basis.
