I posted earlier about the bidet we installed. There have been many suggestions since my posting and there all valid. Some dealing with connivence and price and other with capabilities. In my previous posting I stated we purchased a bidet from a company called bio-bidet. We bought the top model at that time which was 6 years ago and since then it has come down in price, but what it offered as far as I was concern was worth the price. Heated seat and water with controls to handle both temperatures and pressure of the spray. A spray for cleaning front and rear, plus a setting for an enema. A setting for drying which almost eliminate the use of toilet paper. There is also a number of other settings that I don't even use. Before you purchase a bidet figure out what features you want and what you're willing to pay. There are a number of companies that sell this product, as I said I went with Bio Bidet, I have no affliction with this company, but they had all the feature I though my wife needed since she was in wheelchair. She recently passed and I started using it myself, I did not know what I was missing.

electrial unit
 
if your toilet is located next to the sink area you can run a heavy duty extension chord to the bidet. The outlet is GFI.

Thank you for your help, sorry about your wife

This thread piqued my interest and I've been reading online reviews of the products mentioned. I came across this review submitted by Chris A. and I've been laughing on and off whenever I think of it.

So I’m going to share this experience with everyone, I hope you get a kick out of it. I kinda did.
So I fell victim to these Facebook ads about how my butt wasn’t clean enough and got my ocd thinking is my butt dirty?? Oh I can’t have a dirty butt !! No way ! So I jumped on Amazon and got me one of them little butt washing potty retrofits delivered the next day. It came today and after 10 minutes of a frustrating install thinking I had stripped the stupid plastic connection parts on my toilet, all is good with no leaks and we’re ready for a trial run. Okay here goes... now this is a trial run mind you so no real business going on, this is a very important detail and you’ll soon see why. I pulled down my pants, sat down and reached over to the controls to try this baby out. .......... Well all I can tell you is I heard a click from the knob I was starting to turn and y’all let me tell you I instantly felt a full stream blast of jet powered cold water shoot right up the ole pooper with such precision ida swore someone was aiming the damn thing. In that instant the signals traveled to my brain and without a conscious thought I jumped straight up and fell over towards the floor. As if this wasn’t bad enough the stupid knob doesn’t turn itself off when you let go of it so Im instantly followed off my launchpad by a stream of cold water, following me as I shot forward, up my back and blasting me right in the back of the head as I struggled to get away from this cold wet monster that was violating me. I struggled to reach the knob and turned it off before the whole bathroom got soaked. It’s all right I’m ok really

Go to Home Depot, for around $50 you can install it yourself! Love, love mine. I have one up north and here. Love it! Don’t worry about the cold water, it’s fine. I bought one for my daughter and she loves it as well. No need to buy anything else just the Bidet. Make sure you turn the knob gently…

Got the Brondell from Amazon and installed it last night. No outlet needed. It fits perfectly between the seat and the bowl. And it works great! Best $40 I ever spent. I am finally, finally, a bidet owner after a decade of wanting one. Love it! :pepper2:

Kohler’s voice-controlled bidet seat turns your dumb toilet into a luxurious smart-throne

For those that had GFCI outlets installed for the bidet, did the install only involve an electrician, or did it require drywall work & / or painting?
Thanks
