What they don't tell you...
I'm based in the UK and this did not fit in between the toilet seat and bowl. It caused the seat to shift to one side and actually ended up ruining it. It's not seamless at all as they say. What they don't tell you is that to fix this issue you have to buy their specialized LUXE Bidet Luxe Toilet Seat for £100.... which is a complete joke. If they made that clear from the start it would have saved me ruining my toilet.

Warnings for UK use
The supplied hose cannot reach to cistern inlet on right hand side. The T adaptor will not fit standard UK 1/2" cistern inlet. The recommended lowest water pressure is 30 PSI. For a gravity fed upstairs loo its only about 3-4 PSI.

Watch out Ethel!
I've used the Luxe Bidet Neo 180 for 6 months now, and in two completely different geographic locations: Colorado and Baja Mexico. I first ordered the bidet for use as a test run before I hauled it to Mexico for its final destination. Shipping was very fast, instructions were accurate and the parts appeared to all be there. Unless you actually have a certified Plumber's Crack, the installation can be a little tricky, but realistically can be done in 30 minutes or so (which takes into account an average number of setbacks and do-overs). The first step in the process involves removing the seat, followed by putting the unit in place on the toilet rim, re-installing the seat and tightening everything down. The included plastic seat bolts and nuts are designed to make it easy to line up and hand tighten. This part might require 5 minutes, depending upon whether you've kept track of your nuts.Then on to the plumbing, where you turn off the water supply leading to the toilet and add the diverter valve which routes water to both the tank and the bidet. Depending upon the proximity of walls, this can take 5 minutes, or an hour, and either involve leisurely lefty-loosey and righty-tighty manipulations, or standing on your head with a crescent wrench in one hand and a hammer in the other and resurrecting the vocabulary you learned from watching several seasons of The Sopranos. I was unsure of how sturdy the supplied diverter valve was (after reading other product reviews) so I ordered a heavy-duty brass valve, just to be safe. Turns out that was not needed, in my case at least.At this point the bidet is ready to go, so make sure you are, as well. The Neo 180 has a nifty valve on top which is your joystick for controlling water pressure. There is a second valve in back which rotationally controls whether the spray unit is meant for a Jennifer, Ted (or transitionally, Bruce) or for automatic nozzle cleaning. Both valves seem to be holding up well.But don't take this process lightly. They should actually require you to post WARNING signs in the bathroom - this thing can change your whole outlook on life, or give you several new ventilation outlets. The water pressure that comes out of this unit is ridiculous - almost to the point where you could find yourself with 1 or 2 extra a*******. Seriously. Children should not use without adult supervision.The other thing is that I installed the bidet initially in January...in Colorado. The 180 is a coldwater-only unit. Other reviews mentioned that having "insulated pipes" would provide enough protection from the cold to make the cleansing experience acceptable. Well, I'm here to tell you that a polar bear might not mind it, but firehose pressure combined with 33 degree water is not my idea of "date night".On my initial use, I took a calm, measured approach and thought I was bracing myself for what was to come. Wrong. The pressure alone was enough to rip you a new one. And the frigid stream felt like someone had inserted an icycle where the sun don't shine. Come to think of it, maybe the cold water is what saved me from a trip to the ER. Evidently your hind-end is considered part of the "absolutely, positively, critically-necessary core body parts", because although I felt myself going into shock, blood was rushing to the scene of the accident in an attempt to resuscitate that part of my anatomy.After I peeled myself off the ceiling and regained my vision, I studied the valve and realized that it had some play in its travel - meaning it wasn't an "on or off" proposition, but had a range of motion to experiment with to try to tame down the firehose effect. So, I spent a good amount of time trying to find the sweet spot where I'd receive the cleansing action I was after, but also limit the amount of damage I did to myself. In the end, and I mean that literally, I could not find a setting low enough to keep me from involuntarily clenching and howling. But, I had true belief in the product and I wanted it to be successful. So, I devised a work-around with a small rubber gasket that I carved to size and placed in the inlet of the valve. I was desperate to reduce both the volume and pressure of the water before it had a chance to interact with my privates again. Self-preservation must be a deeply-ingrained gene because I had not previously found use for it as much as I did then.The gasket did seem to work to the point that I was no longer shaking in my shorts in anticipation of another encounter. However, once the fear of injury was addressed, I became even more aware of the water temp, which by that time must have approached absolute zero.Now, on to a few logistical issues. The valve which regulates water pressure is right up on top of the unit. The valve has an oblong shape and is raised somewhat from the underlying construction. What this amounts to is this elevated protrusion is hungry for anything that comes near its path. This includes unintentional hand movements while wearing a wrist watch, swatting at wayward gnats on the wall, perusing Facebook on the iPad, etc.. Now consider that you have de-throned and are vigorously cleaning the toilet and its surrounds, or you just happen to snag a pocket while pulling yourself into the upright and locked position... Yes, innocent gestures of many kinds will get you a solid "shot in the eye", or worse.I don't want you to get the wrong idea here. I really, really like the Luxe Bidet Neo 180. It is a nice looking addition to a toilet seat; unobtrusive, sleek, and completely lacking any medical procedure feeling. It is attractive and should only raise problems if the cleaning lady happens to snag the wrong handle at the wrong time.Now, on to change in location. We happen to have a nice little place about 660 miles down the east side of the Baja Peninsula bordering the Sea of Cortez. The area is beautiful but you have to be careful with water usage and waste disposal. Septic systems down there are iffy at best. Consequently, we try to keep as much paper waste out of the septic tank as possible. For years, I've tormented myself with wondering when the whole septic system would suffer a gran mal seizure and collapse. The Luxe Bidet 180 has been the answer to that.With most purchases you try to convince yourself that you made a good decision and that you're happy with the purchase. For once, this is actually a true statement. Having one installation under my belt, the Mexico install was freaky fast. In addition, the water pressure down there is a fraction of what we have at home. And, the water temperature is a joy. I hate to admit that one of the highlights of my earthly existence so far...is this bidet. For once, everything works as it should. The unit is inexpensive but doesn't appear so, and it has held up under pressure, so to speak. But, even considering the caveats I've mentioned, I rank this purchase right up there with the '68 Ford Torino GT I had in high school, as far as satisfaction.All amplifications aside, the Neo 180 is a very economical solution to personal hygiene. If you live in a clime where you don't have to chip ice from your eyelids every morning, this coldwater unit should suit you fine. If you have easy and nearby access to hot water (the sink next to the toilet perhaps), maybe you should consider the Neo 320, which incorporates that feature. Neither of these requires electricity to operate, which is a huge bonus. I have other toilet bidets in our house that are hooked up to electricity and provide a very nice water temp and an even pressure. But those units cost $500 or more, as well as an electrician's time to install an outlet. The 180 gives you what you need at a price where you can still afford to eat.I would suggest to the manufacturers of the Luxe Bidet Neo 180 the following design changes:- The excessive water pressure is a serious issue. It's all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out. Maybe they could provide an engineered pressure reducer, which may be nothing more than a properly sized disk or gasket.- The pressure regulator handle is much too easy to snag and could cause both a painful experience if you're in repose, or an embarrassing experience if you or a guest are just tidying up. Perhaps, some kind of indent position, which locks the handle in place until you really want to pull the trigger, is in order. This would also prevent accidents involving young, curious children.- The housing, which contains the spray nozzle, may prevent the unit from fitting your toilet. I had to try several positions before my Toto toilet allowed the spray nozzle to drop down and engage.Other than that, how can you lose? If nothing else, put one in the mother-in-law's bath just for dinnertime conversation. Maybe you can supply her with an old, ragged Swiffer as enticement.

Easy install, does the job, highly recommended!
I've actually been wanting to get one of these for some time and have researched several models... eventually deciding on the Luxe Bidet Neo 180 with the dual wash options and self-cleaning nozzles. My wife only giggles when I've talked about wanting to get one (usually preceded by an "ewww, yuck, no thanks." What can I say... After having the pleasure of living with a lovely little hemorrhoid, the prospect has intrigued me often, since I've heard many positive stories about improved comfort, cleanliness and healing with a bidet. Yes, this is far too much information, but hey this a review about a bidet and I know I ain't the only person who's curious about this.First up, the installation... Very easy to install (took less that 30 minutes). I decided to also install a new toilet seat when adding the bidet. We're planning to buy a new toilet in the coming months, so I just purchased a cheap seat for the time being. Cost me less than $6 at WalMart for a decent wood seat that fit perfectly with no gap issues. All the hoses connected easily with no leaks. Very impressed at how simple and intuitive the whole process was. There are instructions, but if you're marginally savvy, you won't need them. Installation is super easy. The package also comes with the necessary tools and thread tape, all in the box. The only other tool I needed that was not in the box was a screwdriver to remove the existing bolts on the seat.Now for the test... WOW!!!! Let me tell you, yes it works! I must say I like this style of lever as you can easily control the flow of water by pulling up and pushing down as slow or quickly as desired (much like a regular faucet). One tip: Recommend setting the dial to Clean mode when not in use. It's easy enough to bump the lever when sitting down and give yourself an early shot in the yehaw. My wife giggled when she heard the first unexpected "hooooo!" It's actually not bad at all. I know there are more expensive units that even use warm water and cost a lot more money, but I can't see how that would be necessary at this point. The cool water is actually not a shocker or unpleasant at all so it works just fine and means less to hook up and less money to spend. What a great device!I have to be honest, when the spray is occurring, the impression is that it must be making a complete mess under the seat, splattering water everywhere (especially since it took a moment to adjust myself to find the "sweet spot" - ha). I checked several times to see if water was spraying over the sides, but it wasn't. When I was finished, there was no mess under the seat, just some evidence of water spray on the bottom of the seat. I hesitate to get too graphic here, but if you're reading this it's because you probably have the same curiosity... The answer is, it does a VERY effective job! The follow up wipe to dry was clean. I was impressed. No complaints from ol' Mr. Hemorrhi either.My wife was next up... Actually, she avoided use of it for most of the day, even using the hall toilet instead (which she NEVER uses) - hahaha. Finally, she was a good sport gave it a reluctant try. I waited, respectfully, in the next room.... I heard the spray kick in and her immediate "whoooo". "Now how about that honey?" I said... She replied, "yup, it works." That's pretty much all she said and I had a good laugh. It wasn't as bad as she expected. She wasn't brave enough to try the "Women Wash" setting yet, but give it time. heheheFinally, the self-cleaning nozzle wash. Works beautifully. Just set the dial to Cleaning and pull the lever. Water rushes down, completely covering and cleaning both nozzles. No mess, no splash, works perfect.One thing I was concerned about, which hasn't proven to be an issue at all. My current toilet is a bit older and holds more water in the bowl than most newer toilets I've observed. I was concerned that the spray nozzles would submerge in the water when activated, but it seems that does not occur. Nothing but a clean and clear spray of water.Great purchase, easy install, great function and it even looks kinda cool. Best of all, it does the job very well and makes for a happy back side I must say. Highly recommended!

Installs fast, is easy to use, and works great. Fantastic choice!
I’ve been waiting to review this product for quite a while, so that I could give an honest assessment of it after longer-term use. In the past, I’ve written reviews before really getting the bigger picture on an item, and sometimes my perceptions and the objects performance change quite a bit after the honeymoon period is over. This is not one of those cases.Review in a nutshell: The Luxe Bidet Neo 180 is fantastic. An economical device that installs fast, is easy to use, and delivers on expectations. If you are in the market for an affordable bidet, this is a great choice.Review out of a nutshell: The item arrived quickly, and was a surprisingly small package. The shell of the bidet is plastic, as are most components, and this did give me pause. However, over the period of use, I have had no issues whatsoever. My biggest concern was the plastic stem that connects the water line to both the toilet tank as well as splitting off to the bidet itself, specifically the shear strength of it, as the awkward distance from the existing shutoff to the tank would have put the connecting water line at an angle. I was worried that under pressure the force from the supply line would be exerted against the plastic stem sideways, instead of straight on, and that that might cause problems. Whether a valid concern or not, I solved the issue by taking the longer of the included supply lines and looping it to “create” a 90 degree angle, then tied the loop to keep it in place.Installation was relatively quick and easy, maybe 20 minutes in total. Although I don’t recall the instructions calling for it, I used plumber’s tape (also called Teflon tape) on all the threading, wrapping clockwise for four or so layers. Centering the bidet took a little time, but wasn’t difficult, made even easier by using the markings that appear on the bidet itself—there are rotating circles that allow you to change where the seat bolts pass through the bidet and thereby change its position, and there are markings along the perimeter of the circle (like number on a clock) that allow you to mirror the two circles to better find the center. The one challenge here was keeping the bidet in place while reinstalling the seat, and an extra set of hands at this point came in handy, just to keep things put. After that, I placed a shallow bowl beneath the fittings in case of leaks, and opened up the water. No leaks, no problems.A word about water pressure: Other reviews have noted that this bidet really brings the pressure, and that has been my experience as well. Even with a regulator that reduces the pressure of the water when it enters my house, this bidet can still knock your socks off. If you are considering using it for any reason related to or resulting in high sensitivity, you should definitely take some time to get to know how much to lift the handle and the resulting flow. The handle that turns the bidet on has a short pull, and the pressure ratchets up quickly. With practice, though, you’ll find your “sweet spot”. If your toilet supply has a cutoff valve, it may be worthwhile to experiment with turning it down to reduce the overall water flow, even though your toilet tank will fill more slowly.One last thing: The handle for using the bidet is located on the right side of the seat. It is possible to catch the handle and lift it if you are reaching back, say to flush the toilet while still seated, pull up your pants, reaching for your favorite magazine, or whatever else you might be up to. This can be really, really easy to do. There are three settings on this bidet, one of which is to clean the nozzles themselves. This setting directs the water along the face of the sprayers and straight down into the bowl. It’s a nice feature that has a second purpose as well--you might want to consider turning it to this setting when guests who are unfamiliar with the bidet arrive. Otherwise, you might need to keep some extra sets of clothes on hand (company and I both learned this the hard way).This item has been a great addition to the house, providing a level of hygiene and comfort I didn’t know I was missing. Now I do, and I really do miss it whenever I’m not at home. Be warned, it’ll spoil you. But as some commercial or other once said, “Aren’t you worth it?”.

Amazing addition to modernize your bathroom experience
The Luxe Bidet is an excellent addition to any bathroom. Installation is incredibly straightforward - it took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish to have it up and running. The instructions are clear and all the necessary hardware is included. Once installed, the cleaning experience is fantastic.Aesthetically, the Luxe Bidet looks very sleek and modern. The controls are simple and intuitive, while the chrome-plated knobs and nozzles give it an upscale appearance. It really elevates the look and feel of the bathroom.The one small downside is that the bidet did cause my existing toilet seat to lift slightly, resulting in some bending/folding in the middle when I sit down. This is likely due to the quality of my particular toilet seat rather than an issue with the Luxe unit itself. But it would be nice if Luxe included bumpers or spacers to help prevent this potential problem, since it may occur with many toilet seats.Overall, the phenomenal cleaning capabilities, stylish looks, and easy installation make the Luxe Bidet an excellent investment for anyone looking to add a modern experience to their bathroom routine. Highly recommended
