Needed to install a bidet due to upcoming dominate arm shoulder surgery ( I’m not a flexible torso guy, and my wife informed me that “ for better or for worse” did not include wiping!). After narrowing down features, I landed on the Alpha UX Pearl as having the ( for me) the best bang-for-the-buck (especially with frequently offered discounts on Bidet King).
Dispute some YouTubers trolls, I get INSTANT. warm water every time. ( any residual ambient temp water is expelled during the initial wand washing ). My wife (& her girlfriends) love the heated seat (we prefer the winter home temps to be 67F in general). While I haven’t quite figured out the Dedicated User settings, I’ve found I prefer to customize my wash/dry process with each visit (control freak issues, maybe). I’m not sure what feature(s) are responsible but we scrubbed our commode bowl to “factory standards” before installing the Pearl, but it’s been 4 weeks now and our bowl still sparkles clean! Installation was 40 minutes for seat one. We were so impressed that we jumped our plan and ordered a 2nd seat for the other bath. Remove the time spent on an unexpected issue with a straight pipe water source, and I got #2 ( no pun intended) in about 30 minutes. ***Installation note***. While not a star changer for me, if you are particularly OCD, with both seats up, it both units “look” just a tad off”centered. However with lids down, both visual and physically inspections show the seats are sitting square. We have round Toto commodes.
If we ever repair our basement utility bath, we will be ordering a 3rd UX Pearl!
