I'm not super convinced by the water jet. It can make a mess, it requires a lot of paper to dry if you don't want to wet your pants and if you don't have soap, are you really cleaning?
Heating seat feels like overabundance (a common thing in Japan).
But the sink to clean your hands and reuse this gray water for the next flush is amazing. I think it should be made mandatory in every region with water resources issues. It's still not clear to me, however, if using soap there will cause more maintenance issues or not.
In defense of the bidet, you might not be getting quite as clean as you would be with soap, but you’re definitely getting cleaner than with paper alone. I put it this way to folks who look at me weird when I mention that I use bidets… if you got a glob of shit on your hands, would simply wiping it off with a piece of paper be good enough? Water would be involved somehow…
Also if you’re soaking yourself to the point where drying is an issue, you might want to try adjusting the water pressure or flow in some way…. I use a bidet daily and don’t need more than 4-6 squares of TP to get adequately dry.
Another issue I forgot to mention. I often find a company toilet bowl, but also part of the seat, covered in sprayed brown water because the last person didn't seal his butt correctly and didn't clean up. So disgusting people can weaponize this technology.
Ew…. Yeah, let me clarify that the bidets I use are toilet seat attachments I’ve installed in my own home, so any weaponization of liquipoo is likely of my own making to terrorize my family. I don’t think I’ve encountered a bidet in a public restroom here Stateside.
