Alpha ONE Elongated Bidet Seat

Customer Reviews

Works with French curves! Review by Kevin

Rating

I have enjoyed having an underseat, non-electric bidet for some time. But after recently installing a one-piece toilet with "French curves" (wide flair at the back of the bowl to the tank rather than rounded), I found that my old bidet would not fit!

No problem, I thought. I'll just find one that does. To my surprise, there are almost none that do! There are a couple of high-end ($500-$600) electric bidets that say they "might" work with "some models." But I'm not about to pay that kind of money for what should be a simple device like this!

Fortunately, I found the Bidet King website, where I found this bidet. It doesn't say so, although it should, but it certainly looked to me from the design that it should work. The problem with other units is that the control and connection is mounted too closely to the bowl and the connection mounts from underneath. Since with this model, the connection extends out to the side and the control is above the bowl line, it shouldn't be a problem. And it wasn't.

The instructions are a bit lacking, but it's easy enough to figure out, and I'm sure Bidet King will help if you have trouble. There is a curved connector on one end of the braided hose, which I assume is intended to connect to the unit. Although this could have worked, since the connector can be positioned to point rearwards, I found it easiest to connect the other end, which is straight, and connect the curved end to the coupling that joins the water supply, tank, and bidet together. Works like a charm!

Although this design is slightly more expensive than the under-seat units, I think it is better anyway. It incorporates a high quality toilet seat, with the soft-close feature. Such seats typically run about $40 or more by themselves. It also provides a more "finished" look. The front and back washing options also allow for some options in terms of positioning of the stream, even when used for washing just the back side.

I would recommend this unit to anyone considering a non-electric bidet. The side-controls otherwise have a somewhat messy look to them. This one is also quite easy to remove for cleaning. The connector hose remains attached, but the seat/bidet can be easily removed and replaced.

As to non-electric, I wouldn't consider anything else. Unless you are a very tender flower, you do not need warm water in that area. It's no more sensitive to cold than your hands, or your mouth. You never think twice about picking up a cold beverage in your hand and dousing your mouth with ice cold water! And blow-dry? Please. I can't imagine using the warm water or blow-dry functions even if they were available. And talk about a hassle to install! (Posted on 5/16/2018)

Highly Recommended for this Bidet type. Review by Junne Pabz

This is the 3rd Alpha One Elongated Bidet seat, I ordered. I liked the design of this bidet because the seat cover is already built in as compared to Bio Bidet Elite where the top cover is not part of the unit and it squeezed the bidet when you seat on it destroying the plastic water holder stream or whatever you may call it.

Great Review by Jibo

Unlike a lot of things I’ve bought on line and found out they didn’t work as promised, that’s not the case with the bidet toilet seat I bought. I needed to have some surgery that would have made conventional cleaning not only painful but difficult. The toilet seat I bought was a lifesaver. Even after healing I found I was spoiled and never felt as clean as I have with the bidet king toilet seat. (Posted on 5/5/2018)

Better than expected Review by MAA

Rating

We have a Kohler Santa Rosa and there is very little distance between the seat bolts and the tank so we learned that several brands would not fit or would not allow the seat to stay up. Fortunately, the Alpha One fit perfectly. My wife and I are surprised at how well this functions. The Alpha One does not have a heater, but the cold water is not too bad. We are very pleased with the Alpha One. The only minor complaints are the color, because it is a blue-ish white instead of a soft white, and I wish the valve had a detent so that you know the valve is centered (closed). I placed a small strip of electrical tape on the valve knob and another on the fixed part of the valve that attaches to the seat so it is visually easier to get it centered when you wish to turn it off. Otherwise, it is not so easy to get it centered because of the visual angle and a couple times water was weeping from the spray nozzle for several hours before we noticed. Other than these minor issues, we are very happy with it. Oh, and it only took about 15-20 minutes to install. (Posted on 1/19/2018)

Bidet Without Huge Investment Review by Morning Fresh

The Alpha One is a perfect solution for those who want a bidet but don’t have electricity or room for a separate fixture. It is simple and therefore easy to use and maintain. Fits elongated toilet well and looks good. Works great. I am very pleased! (Posted on 11/22/2017)

We had this installed right before surgery and it saved my life. Just knowing that I was cleaned without having to take showers while my post-op.

Great product, needs some tweaks Review by JD

Rating

A great way to try out a Bidet and not spend a lot to see if it works for you. The reason for the four stars instead of 5 was the clips that hold the seat in place are made of plastic and thus one has broken. The seat still works like it should but it moves now. I will contact the manufacturer and see if that part is under warranty. I bought this product due to suffering from an anal fissure which makes it painful to wipe, worked perfectly to make cleaning pain free. I am saving up to get the next level bidet which is heated.

Great and hassle free system Review by Amrit

Before I purchased the alpha bidetking I had a
Bidet system which was outside on the seat. It looked shabby and ugly. Alpha bidet is hidden in the seat and works perfectly. We feel very
happy to have it. Thanks Bidetking for your
great product. The sales person was friendly and helpful.

Amazing cleanliness Review by Eve

Rating

This bidet is amazing!! It has a frontal and rear sprayer to clean you. The sprayer has enough water force that leaves you totally clean, I needed it after surgery. It made it easier to use the bathroom since I had limitations. The seat comes down in slow motion. It is the best thing to have in bathroom for cleanliness and very easy to install. We love it! I wish I could have one in every bathroom. I have 3 and a half bathrooms. Plan to get another one for the guest room in future. I would recommend this bidet since it clear both areas instead on just one. The product is made of good quality it's a very nice looking seat too. It comes with the entire top and bottom seat cover closes on its own. The lever on the side of the seat allows you to choose the amount of water simply by switching it to front or back. I know that when you get this bidet you will want more so order more if you can. Your bathroom experience will change the way you clean forever. Love it! (Posted on 6/10/2017)

Easy to install. No leaks. Fits toilet perfectly. Works wonderfully. But ya gotta ease into the water flow, go slow, it's a bit shocking cold at first but if you start slow before going full blast it's fine! Planning on buying more for friends at Christmas!!

Love my Alpha Bidet Seat Review by Ranjan

We are very happy with our three Alpha bidet seats we bought from BidetKing. They work excellent, and being so compact they look great. Two of my three bidet seats were damaged in the transportation. Dennis from BidetKing replaced both the damaged bidet seats with prepaid postage. Excellent service!

I recommend everyone to have at least one in home to see the benefit. (Posted on 5/13/2017)

Awesome Review by BoGo

While recovering from Hemorrhoid surgery I decided not only was I going to use a squatty potty foot stool, but I was getting a bidet. Looking at the cost of full on Bidet toilets, my husband came across the Alpha Bidet toilet seat. The reviews made it worth trying. So happy we did! We bought a second one for another bathroom and have recommended it to many friends. For me the downside is it's a light plastic and it isn't a perfect fit. The upside is it didn't cost thousands of dollars. (Posted on 1/13/2017)

exlcellent Review by 1man

The bidet is a great option to have especially in nyc as america is years behind Europe, No pun intended besides being able to rinse on's self ,a toilet seat in my life

is of the utmost necessity ,so besides doing its job in rinsing you the seat itself is very comfortable especially since i don't drink coffee going to the seat is literally

an out of body experience made more pleasurable by my BidetKing Bidet. You would need to make sure you toilet & tank have the proper space. Great move (Posted on 1/6/2017)

Not satisfied completely! Review by Bill

Rating

The seat does not stay up when it is lifted to the back position. It falls down onto my back when I am using the bidet.

The elongated seat is a bit small for my rear end.

The water pressure seems slow, but it works.

I like the seat, but like I said, something is not right with the seat not staying up in the open position. It makes contact with the toilet tank too soon to be completely up and efficient to use. I have made repeated adjustments to it, but it still will not stand up consistently like most toilet seats when they are open. (Posted on 11/30/2016)

It works for us. Review by Tommy

Aloha from Hawaii. Just wanted to let others know that it is everything that it was designed for - simple to install, simple to use, no electrical hookup required, economical, and efficient. My daughter loves it and her friends are "experimenting". We have two others fully equipped bidets so we are very familiar with its use. This unit is practical for us in Hawaii we do not necessarily need heated water or a heated seat. Ordering was easy and convenient. Delivery was prompt. In fact, the delivery person's interest was tweaked by the amount of deliveries he had for this promotional unit. I will recommend this product as a starter unit for those individuals who are not familiar with the practicality and hygienic benefits of bidets. Everyone should have at least one in their home. Mahalo. (Posted on 11/19/2016)

I am very pleased with my new bidet seat. I have a friend who has a much more expensive one but she doesn't use any of the settings. The only thing she has I don't that she uses is the heated water but I don't find that a big thing. I had it installed by a plumber who was working here on some other things and it didn't take him but about 10 minutes or less. (Posted on 11/17/2016)

This bidet is great, easy installation and no need for electrical outlet, it's about time someone one came up with a sleek design and easy to use bidet. If you were to buy a soft close seat and seat top it would be a quarter of the price if not half the price of this bidet, the price is GREAT!!!!. I give it a 9 out of a 10 only becaus nothings perfect. (Posted on 11/16/2016)

Best Kept Secret you never knew Review by Bidet Heaven

Rating

Recently purchased and installed the Alpha non-electric bidet toilet seat and to our surprise, it is incredible! In our previous home, we had an electric Brondell which worked great for a while but then started the fade away in pressure after only about a year. We didn't have electric outlet in toilet area so this was our best option. We would recommend this to anyone. We are even getting our kids one for Christmas! And the cost is minimal for the hygienic benefits you get. LOVE IT! (Posted on 11/16/2016)

KEEPING IT CLEAN Review by RC

I DON'T KNOW HOW A HOUSE HOLD SHOULD DO WITHOUT A BIDET. OUR FIRST TWO PURCHASES WAS MANAGED BY A REMOTE CONTROL AND "WARM" WATER AND ENDLESS ADJUSTMENTS NOTHING TO SAY WITH HAVING A "WARM" SET TO SIT ON.

THIS THIRD UNIT IS AS SIMPLE AS YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE, COLD WATER AND NO PUSH BUTTONS. IN FACT I WILL NEED TO BUY ANOTHER TOILET TO ACCOMMODATE THE ELONGATED NEW SEAT. I BOUGHT IT FOR EITHER A BACK UP OR THE USE IN AN UPSTAIRS BATHROOM SELDOM USED.

ALL AND ALL THE DESCRIPTION AND COST AND FUNCTION OF THE UNIT MET MY EXPECTATIONS. I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SERVICE FROM BOTH OF MY UNITS. THE BIDETKING FOLKS HAVE RESPONDED QUICKLY TO EARLIER CONCERNS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY FIRST TWO UNITS.

Very easy assembly. Great stream and control of pressure. I actually like it better than the more expensive version we have. Blow dry is not necessary, besides who wants that smell blown around. Love the fact it does not need electricity. Only complaint is the seat is a little small and is not rock solid. Would buy again and again. And again. (Posted on 11/16/2016)

Ordered as part of the presale deal to put into our guest bathroom. Once you start using bidets it's really impossible to go back to wiping. We have a fully loaded luxury bidet in my master, but wanted something simple for the hallway. This thing's great. I wish it had a heated seat but the spray is fantastic. (Posted on 11/10/2016)
