Not the Best Choice Review by Jim

Rating

I bought one of these about 18 months ago. I previously had a Daelim Cleanlet. The Cleanlet was perfect. It did everything I wanted it to and it lasted about 8-10 years. When I had to replace it I bought this one. Either the wand isn't long enough or the basic framework is wrong, but I have to get into an unnatural position to use it. Also, the spray isn't very strong. And now, after a year and a half it has failed. I would not buy it again. (Posted on 10/15/2015)

Good, BUT Review by Alf

First:
The “bidet” experience is sublime. This is certainly the way it should be. Even better is to get a stool such as Squatypotty to lift your feet into a perfectly comfortable position. The old way is crude and gross.
This device, the NOVA is an aftermarket accessory. As such, it might be expected to have some compatibility problems. It does.
PROBLEMS:
I had a “round” toilet so I ordered a “round” seat. The unit is adjustable front to rear but its rearward movement is limited by the tank and there is a nozzle underneath which could come up against the rear of the bowl. With the seat fully adjusted as far rearward as possible, limited by the tank, the inside edge of the ring seat was about an inch and a half forward of the front of the bowl. This left a “shelf” where, if I peed while sitting, it directed the pee under the ring and onto the floor!
I decided that the “round” seat was too short for the “round” bowl so I bought a new “elongated” toilet ($400).
The elongated bowl was better but there was still about an inch or less of the bowl showing in front of the inside edge of the ring seat. The seat has a “dam” which extends down toward the bowl but stops about a quarter inch short. There was still enough space to pee through the gap! This problem was exacerbated by the stool which lifts the legs.
One solution is to lean forward enough to direct your stream below the gap. If the seat and bowl had been designed as a unit, the inside front edge of the seat could have been fit together properly.
This can be a good experience but you must remain vigilant that you do not mess upon the floor! Also, there is a certain amount of splashing. It is a good idea to wipe the underside of the seat after use.
