Bidet seats replace your existing toilet seat and typically offer a heated seat, water heating system, adjustable sprays, and other convenience features. But what if that appliance is too expensive, or if you don't need all those bells and whistles?

Of course, the title is misleading. There's no universal answer to which bidet control device is best. It depends on too many personal circumstances. What we can do is outline the pros and cons of each. That will make it a lot easier to decide - for you and your family - which is best.

Bidets are becoming ever more popular in American homes. Long in use in Europe and Japan, more and more buyers are discovering the convenience, comfort, and hygiene benefits that are available with this appliance. But many models are still fairly high in price, and some have features that only a small subset of shoppers might want.

You've decided to take the plunge and buy a bidet. But there are so many models on the market the choices seem overwhelming. No need to panic. One way to cut the confusion in half is to slice off a big chunk of those available before you even look at a single one. One great way to do that is to consider the pros and cons of an electric versus a non-electric bidet.

So, you want to buy a bidet, eh? Before you can zero in on a specific bidet model to check out, you might want to learn about the various types of bidets available. Sure, you want to know features and cost and all the rest. But there are so many types and models on the market today that narrowing the field is a must. Otherwise, it's into the dark woods without a flashlight.

It's odd when you learn that a product has been in use in Europe and Japan for decades but is new to the U.S. We like to think we create and adopt the latest technology before other countries. Whether or not that's true in other areas, though, it's rarely the case with bathroom products. The bidet is an excellent example. This relatively simple device offers numerous health and lifestyle benefits, yet Americans have been slow to adopt it. Thankfully, people are catching on, and at a faster and faster rate every month.
