Kohler PureWash M300 Manual Bidet Toilet Seat, Elongated & Low Profile, Non-Electric, Adjustable Water Pressure, Frontal & Rear Wash, Self Cleaning, White, Chrome Handle

I installed two KOHLER Purewash M300 Non-Electric Bidet Seats for Elongated Toilets in White with Chrome Handles. They replaced the existing soft-close KOHLER toilet seats. The new bidet seats fit well with our elongated KOHLER toilets (Elmbrook / Ellison). This DIY upgrade was easy and well received by the family. Currently, the cold tap water works fine during summer, but concerns were raised about water temperature during colder seasons. It remains to be seen. Overall, it's a reasonably priced non-electric bidet with cold water. KOHLER currently offers two options for this product: handles in pure white or chrome only. A brushed nickel option would better match one of our bathrooms. Overall, 5 stars for the look, quality and functionality. --------------- The following are the installation steps I used to achieve better alignment and hose management. The order of these steps differs slightly from the installation instructions provided by KOHLER in their checklist. Hope you find them beneficial for your needs. 1. Connect the L-end of the white plastic hose to the seat. Tighten the connection as such that the hose goes backward and slightly lower in direction to go just under the water tank. 2. Connect the T-valve to the water tank. Ensure that the stem of the valve faces forward to meet the white plastic hose. 3. Connect the supply hose to the cross-bar of the T-valve. Tighten the connection as needed. Do not turn the water supply yet! 4. Make a whole loop with the white hose and then attach the straight connection of the hose to the T-Valve stem. The loop will help to hide the extra length of the hose just under the water tank. 5. Wipe out any water/moisture from the bottom of the water tank, hoses & connections, and from the floor. 6. Place a dry paper on the floor under the new water connection to easily detect leaks. I prefer to use blue shop paper towel but dry brown bag paper will provide high contrast and color change when wet. 7. Turn ON the water supply. 8. Leave the paper towel for a few minutes to confirm you’ve done it right and there are no water leaks. 9. To test the bidet, wrap the toilet seat with kitchen cling. Then test the knob in both directions (pink for front, and black for rear). 10. Enjoy.

Was chatting with a few friends and somehow the conversation turned to bidet seats. My friends who had them swore that they were absolutely fantastic and a must have in any bathroom. I thought they were crazy. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to get one to see what the fuss was all about. I did some research and this Kohler model came up as highly rated and the price was pretty good, so I bought it. The seat is very easy to install and comes with all the hardware needed. Everything was a very good quality and went together well. If I had one gripe, it would be that it's difficult to align on the toilet due to the fact that it has a separate bracket that installs apart from the main seat, so you really can't see how things line up until you slide the seat onto the bracket. However, this design makes it very easy to attach and detach for cleaning, if you ever needed to. The seat functions well and I like the fact that it has two separate cleaning stalks which work in slightly different ways to get you clean. Both cleaning stalks spray water with very accurate aim. There are a few types of Bidet seats, some which have heated water, and some that don't, like this one. Each has its own advantage. The non-heated models (like this one) don't require electricity and generally have more cleaning power since they don't rely on an internal pump for the water spray. Heated models are less powerful and require a power source, but they do have heated water, which some people might want. I was worried about this since spraying cold water on yourself might be a shock, but in reality, it's not a big deal and not worth the extra price / complexity of a heated model. Apparently, humans don't have a lot of sensitivity down there, so the cold water really isn't much of a shock. I'm really satisfied with how this thing works and it's a must-have in any bathroom.

This was recommended by a friend after a not so great experience with the American Standard one (received two defective seats and had to return both). Easy to install and complements my Kohler toilet, which is a plus from a design standpoint. I received a defective inlet hose (after following installation instructions to the letter) . Contacted Kohler and informed them of the issue and was told that I needed to return the entire item rather than get a replacement inlet hose. Returned item and requested a replacement and so far it seems to be working quite well and I'm hopeful there will be no future issues.

The lock was easy to install and set up. It recognizes my fingerprint very quickly and unlocks smoothly. So far, I'm really happy with this lock.

The fittings are designed and made very poorly, it is very hard to make it fit, it is not kohler quality, it is a trash.

I've had the earlier M250 bidet seat for two years, which started to leak after a few months. Kohler was no help and a repair was not feasible. Since I have a Kohler toilet, decided to try this newer model. The installation was straightforward, with the swap taking about 30 minutes, even for a 73 YO senior. The fit is perfect for my Kohler toilet and construction seems sturdy. I believe the new, simplified design will hold up better; will have to see over time. The controls are certainly easier and appears the self-cleaning wands will ease maintenance -- and having the front and back wand feature add to comfort. Although was disappointed in the first purchase, this seemed like a good choice, even with the many manual bidet seats from other firms available.

Good replacement, T pipe joint thread was not a good fit, need to get a new one from hardware store to fit. Other than that, it works well.

Handle was a white plastic. Not a polished chrome handle from seller image. Otherwise I would give 5 stars.
