I bought it because I am very large with short arms and unable to see to my own hygiene.; I wanted to relieve my husband of this terrible job so I bought it hoping it would do the job. Boy, has it ever! I love this thing. It cleans immaculately and I have used it for a very long time. Everything is still operating beautifully. Thank you Brondell for such an instrument to alleviate my embarrasment and my husband's awful ordeal. I am so grateful for this equipment. Medically I wish there was a portable one that I could take with me when I go to the hospital. That would be wonderful and then I would not have to rely on others. That is a market, the hospital trade, that you might want to see about. Thank you again.
