ALPHA BIDETJX2 Elongated Bidet Toilet Seat, White, Endless Warm Water, *NEW* Bowl Mist, LED Light, Quiet Operation, Wireless Remote, Stainless Steel Nozzle, Sittable Lid, 3 Year Warranty

After 5 years with my Brondell Swash 1400 a nozzle failed. I almost bought another just like it but decided to do a little research first. Everything seems to indicate that the Alpha JX2 is the current leader in bidet seats.The installation was super easy. The functions are intuitive but be sure to read through the manual to get the most out of this seat.Off the bat this has more water, more pressure, better heat, faster startup. The Brondell had a lag, this seat does not. You can hit a button for a bowl mist to help keep things clean. The nozzle occilates and has multiple positions. The heated seat works great. It's nice that the remote has an LCD panel with indicators. The light has a sensor. And there are even power save functions, which I have not tried.Overall this seems like a great seat. I just installed it so hard to say if it will last 5 years like the Brondell but I'll update this review if anything changes.

This bidet has at lot of bells and whistles. The heated water jet has adjustable settings for temperature. The jet nozzle can be adjusted while in use. The heated seat is nice if you live in a cold environment, but not really needed in warmer climes. I like the night light feature which is very useful if you are inclined to need to use the facilities after dark. Best of all is that it is easy to use. All the controls are on the remote. You just need to press the wash, dry and stop buttons at the right time although there is a preprogrammed "easy wash". The dry function is nice, but you will need to wait a long time if you want to completely dry the washed area. The bidet remembers your settings so you do not have to adjust every time. It is a good value for the money and the best thing for your tush.

I truly can’t imagine how I lived without this bidet before! The warm water, quiet operation, and remote control make every bathroom visit feel luxurious. The LED light is a thoughtful touch, and the stainless steel nozzle gives peace of mind. Installation was simple, and it’s been working flawlessly. Absolute must-have!

4 stars only because of the cost. However, it does have long warranty which is probably built in.The unit and function are great so far. Several days. I will update if anything changes. The water amount is more than another i have used. I like that part. Pressure is great. Heating is great. The air dryer helps but not totally dry. The remote is is super easy but is Not back-lit. That just seems like a dumb place to skimp. Not a deal breaker though. It has a couple identifying bumps to help find the right ones in the dark. Installation was super easy. We had to install a gfci outlet closer to the toilet. So extra time there. It is what we hoped for, and then some.

This is my 1st bidet seat and, really, my 1st bidet experience. Conclusion: where’ve you been all my life? I did my research and determined that the JX2 was the one to try. I’ve been using it for a solid 6 months now, and I’ve gotten quite used to it. I’m disappointed if I have to use the other bathroom now.The JX2 was part of a comprehensive bathroom renovation. My fist mistake was going with a round instead of elongated commode bowl. There are a few reasons for this, but suffice it to say, I definitely recommend the elongated over the round, if you have the choice.The beeping: yes, there is a faint “beep” when I sit down (and, I think, also when I stand up.) This can be turned off by plugging in the JX2 while depressing a button on the seat. I’ve found that the house power invariably gets interrupted within days of me doing this, though, and when it comes back on, the seat defaults to beeping again. So, I’ve just gotten used to the beeping. This one’s not that loud. (But it’s still dumb that it beeps. Who needs a toilet seat that beeps? Everything beeps these days. It’s maddening.)The bidet-ing itself is pleasant and effective overall. Sometimes I run concurrent cycles, just to be sure. I recommend pressing the bidet button twice, which gets the wand to do a slight, back-and-forth, scrubbing motion. It was interesting to me to experience changing the water temperature on-the-fly. You push the temp button and that water temperature instantly changes. Speaking of, Alpha should be able to figure out a way to have the initial blast of water be as warm as the rest of it, because it ain’t. It is ALWAYS frigid-cold, just for a second, long enough to make me make a face, and then it’s pleasant.One thing I have noticed recently, temperature-wise, is that the water isn’t always as warm as it was. Maybe my wife is fidgeting with the temp control (which I doubt because she likes everything hotter than I like it), or maybe it’s because the incoming water is much colder than it was in the summer and fall. Regardless, I’ve had some cooler than expected bidets this winter.My wife has complained that, although the wand’s position can be adjusted, she still can’t get it to move far enough forward to be useful in the female application. I have had the same issue at the opposite end. When I’m ready to bidet, even after I draw the wand back as far as it will go, I still have to scoot a little “too” forward on the seat to feel optimally situated. Here is where the elongated bowl and seat (as opposed to the round) could have solved a lot.The drying feature could get warmer faster, which I think would help it not to take so long. I don’t feel the warmth (which could be warmer) until it’s at least a third of the way into its cycle, maybe half way. Before that, it’s just like a cool breeze. It gets high marks for aim though, good aim, just slow to dry.My wife likes the heated seat function, though I could do without it. We both like the night-light feature. I don’t even have to turn the bathroom light on in the middle of the night anymore. I can see everything I need to see.If I was to suggest anything to Alpha, like if they asked me, I’d maybe recommend a model with a throttle on the side, like driving a boat, something you could pull back on to crank up the water pressure. I’d buy that (and maybe a Captain’s hat to wear with it).

The media could not be loaded. First of all, when this arrived I was sick and just couldn't face dealing with installation. I expected it to be really onerous. So I waited about a week and then gritted my teeth and got out my tools. Which, surprising, I didn't even need. This was by far the easiest toilet seat installation I have ever done. Follow the directions. Took about ten minutes! I did make minor mistake which was easily corrected. Just make sure the arrrow in the plate faces the right way to slide the seat onto it. Second, it's a bit of a learning curve to use it. Again, I waited a week or so to review until I was really sure about how it works. My best advice, take time to read the manual, and be prepared to adjust your position slightly to get optimal results. For example, as a female, I tend to wash the front more often. In my case this meant I had to slide back on the seat slightly. If you study the manual you will realize a few other things. For example, if you set it to super energy efficient (see picture) you will not get a warm seat at night. A small but important detail to some. This is a sturdy, elegant looking and very efficient toilet seat with a soft close and easy to clean surface. Highly recommend!
