We bought the bioBidet 2000 for two reasons: installing a separate fixture was space and cost prohibitive, and our septic system will perform better without the injection of toilet tissue and wipes. We are familiar with the benefits of a bidet from our time living in Europe, and we missed having one. Yet we were unprepared for the outstanding design and performance of this ingenious device. The fact is it performs far better than any stand-alone bidet we have every used. Heated seat and water, a choice of different functions at the push of a button (on a remote no less), a deodorizer fan, an energy savings feature, and all in a sleek and compact design. Seriously, what more could one want? I am no plumber, but I had this unit installed in about 15 minutes, with no leaks. It has performed brilliantly every since. This has been an outstanding home improvement and health-affirming purchase. We should have bought one years ago!
