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.

I bought this item just before Christmas 2016. We had a problem fitting it in the UK due the vary sizes of the T adapter/fitting. Upon leaving feedback the customer service department contacted me quickly and offered to send me a new T adapter with equal size fittings which is more ideal for the UK. Some people have commented on the plastic T adapter being of lower quality but I don't think they understand how to judge if plastic is good or poor quality. I find that plastic modern plumbing in the U.K. is doing very well. Less rusting, less soldering, better all round but that's my opinion. Anyhow customer service can not be faulted and the ingenuity behind making a quality yet cost effective product is great. I could not update my previous comment so here is my update with four stars. Four stars because I have yet to fit the part. But as soon as I have I will update my comments and hopefully give this 5 stars.

Awesome product, I'd never go back...
First, a tip: Get the 'white' model rather than the blue! The differences are subtle but the white is classier in my opinion since it blends in with the toilet and seems less like an add-on or accessory.So, this is one of those rare products that makes me want to buy one for everyone I know. Given the low price & high quality, there is no reason why any home should not have one. I think many people (like myself until recently) just don't realize this product exists!--- Installation ---Very fast and easy with just a screwdriver and pliers (search bidet neo 180 on youtube to see various homemade installation and product demos). The hoses and connectors it came with seem to be of high quality. The basic idea is to add the Y-splitter to the water supply line that attaches to your tank, so that the same water supply that fills your toilet's tank also supplies the bidet. It took me less than an hour, and I had fun installing it.--- What's it like to use the bidet? ---I feel like it's a revolution in hygiene. You'll walk away from your toilet actually cleaner than when you arrived. Also, since this transforms toilet use into a cleaner experience, I've noticed it increases the household's willingness to talk about toilet hygiene in general.The spray-activating lever allows for easy control of the water pressure. The dial makes it easy to choose between self-cleaning, 'female' mode, and normal mode. There's not much else to say. We leave it in self-cleaning mode when not in use, so that (1) if the lever got accidentally activated the spray wouldn't go all over the room, (2) we run a 2-second self-cleaning before each use just got hygiene's sake.The part of the bide that drops down into the toilet is quite subtle, it doesn't really go past the rim. I thought it would get dirty but so far it really hasn't (which makes sense, since the rim of our toilet rarely gets visibly dirty).--- Which neo bidet model? ---After seeing a very fancy, expensive, electronic bidet in a friend's house, I knew I wanted a bidet, and based on very low pricing and reviews, I knew I'd get a non-electric bidet from Luxe / neo, but which model? I chose the 180 because:- Spray is activated with a lever rather than a dial, which I think is more intuitive and user-friendly!- It has a "female" setting that I thought my girlfriend would appreciate (which she does!).- It has a self-wash setting which eliminates any concerns one might have about the nozzles getting waste inside them, even though they are behind a protective plate and only pop-out when the spray is activated (Again, good for my girlfriend who is more concerned about germs than I am. She loves it.)- No hot water supply, which I thought would be unnecessary and also too complicated to hook up.--- Cons? ---It would be nice if it came with the metal Y-splitter that is available through amazon separately, since that has a water-pressure dial to adjustment the bidet's blasting power. But I appreciate having the option to pay extra for this, rather than having the extra money built into the price from the beginning. At first I thought I'd want it, but now that I'm used to the device I think it's unnecessary. Just pull up on the lever softly to control pressure (another reason to get the model with the lever rather than the dial).

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.
