Installation was simple and the arm for controls doesn't take up a lot of space in my space lacking bathroom. Being first time users of a bidet my girlfriend and I were a bit timid at first but after using it the fear quickly subsided. I don't know who the maxed out setting is for but if power/pressure is a worry you shouldn't fear as this little guy will do the job. The controls are simple and intuitive so when someone gives it a trial run they should pick up on it immediately. I wanted a bidet to cut down on wet wipes and toilet paper and also hoping it would leave us feeling cleaner. If those are your reasons also I would suggest checking this out. I am sold on the idea of a bidet life now and I think an upgrade will happen down the line to a more complete setup.
