American Standard Bidet Seat, White

For years, I've used a bidet that bolted underneath the existing toilet seat. It worked fine, but was not easy to clean. The integrated design of this product makes that a non-issue. It's a much cleaner look, and it fits my new Glacier Bay toilet perfectly. As others have pointed out, and the installation instructions describe, there's an in-line flow regulator pre-installed. It's located where you hook up the hose to the seat. I didn't even bother trying it with the flow regulator installed, I just followed the instructions and removed it. The pressure is perfect without that regulator. One added bonus that I wasn't aware of at the time, is the way this mounts to the toilet. Rather than bolting the whole unit on, you install a mounting plate that the seat then slides into and locks with. There's a release button so you can quickly and easily remove it for cleaning. The instructions associated with the template seem to be poorly translated to English, but it's pretty intuitive once you see the template. What it's really trying to do is show exactly where to align the mounting plate so that the seat is properly situated on the toilet. I nailed it on the first try. The only other part about the installation that took a little effort was installing the rubber inserts through the base of the toilet. These are optional per the instructions, but if you can use them it seems like it would make for a more snug installation. It took a little effort to get them through the holes, but they seated nicely once they were in. Tightening up the screws into the threaded part of the insert then causes the bottom of the insert to expand, providing a very solid anchor for the mounting plate. From there, it's a simple matter of installing the provided wing nuts and that part is done. Again, the directions were a bit ambiguous on this, but it isn't hard to figure out once you see the parts and compare to the drawing. This product is really well designed and seems well made. It was a good purchase, in my opinion.

After receiving a Toto bidet seat as a Christmas gift, my husband and I have become converts. These things are a total game changer in feeling clean and fresh all day long. With this new “enlightened world view” my husband and I set out to convert all of the remaining toilet seats in our domain. Unfortunately as we began to add up the number of toilets in our two homes and the associated costs we began to consider alternatives. We began reflecting on what features were the most important to us and which ones we could live without. The American Standard was less expensive and looked promising so we decided to purchase it to test and compare with our more expensive Toto. We installed it in the powder room of our main home and we’re pleasantly surprised. While it lacks the features of a remote control, dryer, bowl pre mister, air deodorizer, presets, etc, it has the features that we want and use the most. It also produces a larger spray of water than the Toto which we prefer. It fit great on our powder room’s elongated toilet and we couldn’t have been more happy with our decision. We also have cottage which has a Kohler Memories round toilet. Since it’s round and not elongated we initially thought that the American Standard wouldn’t work. We strongly prefer the look of a low profile bidet seat (especially on a round bowl) but the only ones we could find were by Toto and they were running around a grand. Having been so pleased with our American Standard bidet seat we took some measurements and decided to take a chance and see if we could make it fit on our round toilet. The installation went great and fits with plenty of room! The bidet seat’s shape isn’t a perfect match for the round bowl but we decided that it matches up well enough for our casual beach cottage and the overall appearance was pretty good. If American Standard would ever consider making the more perfect round shaped seat available we will replace it in a heartbeat! Until that time we will happily live with this one and possibly upgrade to the more expensive round Toto model down the road once this one has lived out it’s useful existence. Since I wasn’t able to find any photos of this American Standard seat mounted to a round toilet I’ve added a few shots to this review so people can see what it looks like.

UPATE: Two Years Later: We have now owned TWO of these for over a year, and purchased the first one two years ago. These are still amazing. Still love them. Family are converts, but haven't plunged in and purchased their own yet. I still don't like the lid, but I've grown used to it. Only complaint now is how challenging it can be to clean the bidet area. If anyone has suggestions on that, I'm all ears. Overall I'm still very pleased and I miss these when we travel! 4/5 stars. ___________________ Seems silly, to love a toilet seat. But, this thing is amazing. Planning to buy an additional one soon. Install was fairly easy; the plastic fittings aren’t great. They were challenging to screw in, but knock on wood, haven’t leaked. My only complaint is the lid. It doesn’t stay up unless you stand there a few seconds and hold it open. Also, the seat and lid seem really cheap. I wish they were a bit more substantial. My husband would like me to note that it makes the elongated bit of the toilet smaller than normal and he isn’t a fan of that. But, he does love everything else though. The functional reason of buying this product is great though. Simple design, minimal, and effective. It’s low-key, so we don’t have to explain it to every house guest. But, it’s Also so easy to explain for those who we think might want to know and try it.

The advertised measurements clearly show it should fit up to 8 1/2" from center to center of the posterior holes in the toilet; however, the baseplate is only 8" wide - it's impossible to fit 8 1/2" wide holes! My toilet is 8 1/2". DOES NOT FIT SIZE ADVERTISED. I don't even get a refund because I trusted the advertised instructions and waiting to install because I was on vacation. Really messed up.

I love it. I would never go back to the hand shataff. The hardware is included and it's really high quality. Includes the hose and all the adapters for the toilet.

Es un producto de muy buena calidad y tiene 2 chorros disparadores (entiéndase para limpiar adelante en el caso de las mujeres y atras para los 2 géneros), los tubos que disparan el agua se esconden una vez apagado el chorro y queda el retrete sin ningún tubo a la vista, es importante resaltar que el agua sale a temperatura ambiente, no tiene la función de regular la temperatura del chorro de agua. La higiene, limpieza y el ahorro del papel higiénico es considerablemente buena, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

This is an excellent product and easy to install. It has two (cold-water) sprayer options: one is more unidirectional; one has a gentler wider spray. The cold water is not uncomfortable. The seat requires no electrical connection. The water feeder pipe connects to same valve that fills your regular toilet. I opted to purchase an extra chrome T adapter to help regulate the water pressure going into the water feeder line. I separately ordered the “Metal Bidet T Adapter, 3-Way,” which I used to replace the cheap plastic T-adapter that comes with the toilet and does not regulate water pressure. It is useful, especially if your house has strong water pressure. Installation was easy on our American Standard elongated “Cadet” model toilet, however, I dislike the short plastic water connector on the left side of seat, where the water line connects. The plastic connector is too short and the threads could easily shred if it is cross-threaded. The connection needs to be perfectly aligned. I had a leak the first time, then disassembled and realigned the two pieces perfectly. A small piece of Teflon plumber’s tape could be added if the connection drips a bit or got cross-threaded. My connection is perfect now. It is best to hand-tighten all connections, without any tools. The sprayer lever on the seat is durable plastic (but I would have preferred metal). I highly recommended this product!

An excellent way to convert any toilet into a luxury bidet, we already have one fitted and are so happy with it that we could simply not do without one now, hence buying this second one to keep in reserve for when a replacement is needed.
