American Standard Advanced Clean AC 1.0 SpaLet Bidet Seat with Side Panel Operation in White

A touch of luxury that was easy to install and very simple & comfortable to use. I was afraid this unit would be bulky and take away from the aesthetics in the space, but this turned out to be a fantastic addition to our new bathroom remodel! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This was really cool. I love the slow close seat, no more slamming... And the cleaning experience is great! I highly recommend to anyone to try this out. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Initially, I thought of the spalet as a luxurious detail in my life. However, I quickly realized that there is an important dimension to this product to consider -- cleanliness. As a person who is more susceptible to infection than the average person, it's important for me to keep my living space clean. This product reduces the risk of contamination and, therefore, keeps me healthier. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

SO it took some time to write the review. I had to run an outlet near the toilet to plus the unit into. Not a big deal and very much worth it. This unit is fantastic. It works just like a separate bidet. I would recommend this unit to anyone that is looking for a bidet, but only has a toilet. It is simple to use and works very well. My wife has used bidet's for years overseas and this one fits the bill. Great product!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I really like the heat feature of this toilet seat. We keep our house temperature cooler at night. It is nice to have a warm seat instead of the shocking cold one. I use the eco button so that it does not heat during the day. It was easy to install, easy to use and adjust the settings. I like the detachable seat so that I can clean the unit completely.

The Advanced Clean AC 1.0 SpaLet Bidet Seat with Side Panel Operation is a great product. We really like the dual cleansing and the heated seat, I am sure that will be my favorite feature this winter. With grandchildren, I appreciate the seat sensor that prevents the water from spraying if no one is on the seat. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bidet Over the years I had heard of a Bidet but never seen one or knew of anyone that owned one. My curiosity of how they worked and if one was worthy to be purchased rather than a conventional toilet seat finally got the best of me. A Bidet from American Standard who makes a wide variety of quality plumbing products was my choice to try due to having purchased other products of theirs and was satisfied with them. American Standard offers two models of Bidet's. The one I chose was the Advanced Clean AC 1.0 SpaLet Bidet Seat with Side Panel Operation. The other model available has remote control operation. The Bidet was shipped to my home and I was a bit surprised by the size of the box The box was quite large and heavy duty. When it was opened I found another box inside the large one with packing material to protect the box. Inside the smaller box was the White Bidet surrounded with more packing material. A well thought out container for their product to arrive undamaged. The Bidet was processed over the internet so all I saw was a picture. When I took it out of the box I found the size of the Bidet is not much bigger than a regular toilet seat. The back that mounts onto the tank houses the workings so that is noticeable but not intrusive. I did notice that the hole in the seat looked smaller than normal. We will see if it has an effect on the comfort. Also in the box was an Installation and Users Manual along with a few parts necessary to hook it up. After looking over the manual to get ready to hook it up I found the directions looked straight forward and simple to understand. The accompanying drawings were very clear and labeled appropriately for assisting in understanding what parts went together. If you get a Bidet keep in mind that it requires an electrical outlet. Also check to make sure the distance between the mounting holes in your toilet and any other required dimensions match the Bidet. I have replaced a few toilets and found the mounting holes for a conventional seat have always been a standard distance apart. That may be because I have only had American Standard toilets, yours may be different. As you will read later the importance of correctly measuring your toilet opening. This Bidet has many advantages over a conventional seat. It features a heated seat with temperature control that I think will be a big plus in the winter. A deodorizer that hopefully works better than a curtesy flush. A soft close seat that I feel should be mandatory on any toilet seat. The easy to reach controls on the right side offer all the features available and are labeled in a way that they are not hard to read. It has an adjustable temperature warmer for the seat. The quick remove button on the side allows for cleaning and adjusting the mount for installation. It has a one year warranty. During the installation fortunately I did not run into any major plumbing problems which I think may be a first dealing with plumbing. However if the manual would have mentioned a few tricks I had to figure out on my own could have made installation easier and quicker. A word of warning! When connecting the water line be very careful of attaching the brass nut that goes to the tank. In my case it attached to male plastic threads. If the threads are stripped you will have to replace the tank workings. When attaching, the weight of the line will want to make the fitting become cockeyed. Make sure you hold the line up while screwing it on. Hand tighten and check to make sure it is on it square before using the wrench. Do not over tighten as brass to plastic can strip easily. Tighten just enough to seat the fitting so it does not wobble. Rubber fittings that go into the holes of the toilet that hold the seat down refused to go in. After 10 minutes of trying I thought the holes in the toilet were to small. That was not the case. I put soap on the fitting then aligned it with the hole and then screwed the mounting screw in from the bottom of the toilet only a few threads deep. That allowed me to push the rubber fitting down from the top and pull from the bottom at the same time by using the screw. I twisted both the rubber fitting from the top and the screw a small bit at the same time until it was seated. I then backed out the screw. Once the water line was hooked up I attached the plastic mount that holds the Bidet to the toilet. Then the problems began. The plastic mount was positioned all the way to the tank and when the Bidet was locked into it I noticed that below the front of the seat opening a large amount of the toilet rim was showing. The toilet is an American Standard elongated bowl which means the toilet bowl opening is longer than some. I was confused how I could see the toilet rim under the seat and thought I installed the plastic mount wrong. The manual calls for minimum and maximum requirements for the holes and toilet dimensions. I double checked my toilet dimensions and found it was within the guide lines. So I tinkered with the plastic mount for over an hour, readjusting and remounting the seat thinking I was mounting it wrong. After all that I decided I had better call American Standard and let them know their measurement guide lines in the manual was wrong. I looked over the measurements in the manual one last time and low and behold I had based my measurements on the outside of the rim not the inside as it shows in the manual. The distance from toilet holes to the inside front of the rim was almost 2” short of the required length of the opening. Considering that a Bidet was what I wanted my thoughts went to replacing the toilet with one that would fit the Bidet but my wife shot that down because I had put that one in just a year ago. Although the Bidet did not fit exactly as it needed in order to permanently install it, it did sit on the toilet fine to get a feel of the comfort while sitting on it for a dry test. I was not impressed with the comfort. It appeared to be small and I have a small rear end. My wife mentioned the same thing. I will not comment on her backside. Also it ever so slightly seamed to lean forward. Taller bumpers that are attached to the bottom of the seat when built would eliminate that problem. Over time one may get used to the feel. The workings of the Bidet was not tested as I felt doing so I would not feel right returning it due to my mistake in measurement. The quality of build appears to be very good and I would bet that the inner workings match. My oversight will not deter me from getting a Bidet at some point now that I have seen the benefits they offer. I just have to wait for when my toilet needs to be replaced and make sure it will fit a Bidet. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I had jokes about these things for years so i was skeptical. I was embarrassed for two weeks before i even managed to push the button. Glad i did. Best bathroom amenity ever. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have never owned a bidet until now, but I have tried them while traveling. Installation was fairly easy. Make sure you have an elongated toilet, or it won't fit. In fact, it takes up about a third of the bowl space once installed, which I don't like. It seems they could have engineered the water storage tank to be on the side of the toilet rather than next to the tank. It functions as stated. The controls work well. Just be aware that the water will constantly heat unless you turn it off. It only takes a few minutes to heat up from an off position, though. The heated toilet seat is amazing, but I actually broke mine a little. I'm 250+lbs and had been using the unit for a few days. I leaned a bit to the side and heard a crack. It caused a slight hairline crack to the underside of the seat near the pad. It hasn't affected performance of the product, but it seemed poorly built. I checked and there is no weight limit on the seat listed, so I had to drop my review by a few stars. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I like the Advanced Clean SpaLet but the mounting bracket is below optimal. This is made of plastic and I had to modify it to keep the seat from sliding around (see pictures). I viewed another seat here that uses a metal adjustment piece in metal. I'm looking for that part now and can't seem to find it.
