Alright, so what do I think of the bioBidet Butt Blaster 2000? I’m sure I’d be thrilled if this was my first bidet. It is not. About 6 years or so ago, I got a Luxe Bidet that looks identical to this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A0RHSJO
…and that one hooked up to both cold and hot water, with a manually operated joystick valve similar to a single-handle kitchen faucet. The pros and cons of that system are listed below.
Pro | Con |
---|---|
Both hot and cold supply. | Twist a little too far and scald yourself in a place you really do not want to be scalded. Twice the connections, twice the places it could leak. |
No pump – just water-pressure driven system. Aimed just right, with just enough pressure, and it can actually help with constipation. | Pull a little too high and get a water jet so vigorous it will literally tear flesh. Warning a guest user is required for this and the above, due to negligent liability. Higher pressure stream sprayed fecal solution into every crevice, many places routine cleaning cannot get to. |
No pump, no fan – very quiet. | Unless you do either of the things above, and scream in pain. |
No electrical connection. | No massage orgasmatron. No karaoke. |
There will be times that I will miss the old unit. Several hours after a very spicy meal, I would use almost full-cold, which the BB-2000 cannot do (the coldest is room-temp water from its reservoir).
There were times I probably edged the temp up to 130 degrees F, the BB-2000’s highest temp is probably 110 or so (I will attempt to measure it, as the manual does not say).
There was no timer on the old unit, of course. In difficult times (e.g. too much cheese) I might run higher temp, for 10-15 minutes, before things got moving. The BB-2000 wash cycles are 2 minutes. Clearly, this is designed for people with a lot more vegetables in their diet, and an always-soft stool, such that all the bidet does is clean after (not assist during). Also note that if you get your skin wet, it’s less likely to tear during stretching, which is another reason to employ the bidet before/during as opposed to merely after. Anyway, this is a minor inconvenience with the new unit – I simply run several cycles. And it’s probably advantageous to be reminded how long I’ve been there, as opposed to just turning on the hose and then scrolling through my Twitter timeline. Time flies, as does high pressure fecal solution, am I right?
