Luxe Bidet MB110 Excuse my ignorance, but does this bidet clean both areas on a female, particularly the rear end portion? My mother is 87 and not doing a terrific job hygenically and I can't be there 24/7 to clean her tush. I'd like to know if anyone would recommend this model for an elderly person and how easy they think it might be for them to use? Do they have to push a button or turn a knob to make it work or does it self-spray? Any suggestions for other bidets for the elderly if this model isn't for her?

I am a male, but I would believe a female could simply adjust position on the toilet to accommodate all areas. As far as health and safety goes (moving between one area and the other), I can not answer with authority.

This model is made ONLY for the rear end portion. It would be perfect for an elderly person! I dry off with a cloth afterwards to avoid buying and wasting toilet paper. If bidet is used properly, the cloth is always clean. There is a knob that must be turned on, but it would be so much easier than your mother having to reach behind and wipe several times. Just make sure she is aware how powerful the jet is when turned on high.

I have noticed they are all accurately adjusted to hit the rear part. If the water is not on target, adjust yourself by moving back or forward.

Also, concider how mentaly alert she is. If one were to somehow lift the seat up and turn it on, and leave the room, (like a small child could), damage is liable to run into the lawsuit arena, as in the case of an upstairs condo.

Return it for a new unit. Mine started to only do MANUAL mode, and I called T-Fal and they confirmed they've been getting calls about this. I had just got mine, so I returned it for another one.. so far, everything is working fine again. I suggest buying from Bed Bath and Beyond since they will allow you to return past 60 days if you keep your receipt. Hope this helps!

I actually got this for my Mum. She is 90 years old and loves it because she does not have to scrub the toilet. I am not sure what you mean by brominating tablets.

ive had mine for a while now and I haven't had any problems with it I like mine and would recommend it. I have had both flushes and I like the hand flush

No problem whatsoever. This is a bidet but basically it is a toilet seat. It is electric with a water supply and has a dryer , sprayers and other features - but it is still just a very amazing toilet seat. You can clean the toilet with this on the same as you would clean any toilet with a toilet seat. The seat itself is slightly harder to clean than an ordinary toilet seat because it is more complicated than an ordinary toilet seat but it is still easy to keep clean.

Don,t give up! Please read my recent review posted. Tried for three years. This was a miracle and answer to my prayers. My Isabelle has been my greatest comfort as 74 yo senior who takes care of her disabled husband 24/7. She uses litter box 100 percent. I keep 2 boxes for 2 cats and scoop 2 times daily &#128516;Judy

My experience with the Litter Maid Elite has not been good. My old one worked really well, but this one does such a poor job that I ended up having to clean out the litter box as much as a non-automatic one. I found a couple of other self-cleaning ones on Amazon, but haven't ordered one yet. I'm sorry I couldn't recommend a specific one, but maybe someone else can. I hope you find one soon.

FYI, a nearly identical model is on sale today for $19.99 with FREE s/h and no tax. It has the same settings. The only major difference is that it now only comes with a 2 way diverter (you can only use the wall shower OR the handheld, not both). They used to have a 3-way diverter but switched to 2-way to meet water conservation laws (using both heads requires more water). Here's a secret: if you call the company, they'll send you the old 3-way diverter for free.The Sale ends today at midnight.http://1sale.com/home-family/bed-bath-personal-care/5848/?ET_CID=1857

That tool is useless! I tried using it the first time, it is slow removing the stuff (the veet ended up being on some parts of my leg for 8-10 minutes!), it's impossible to rinse after you've run it up your leg (I ended up having to wipe it off with my fingers, getting them covered), and it is flimsy. I just lather up both legs at once, lay back in the tub for the allotted time, grab my wash cloth, wipe my legs down, and I'm done! I think the wash cloth is more gentle, I had some minor irritation the first time, but I don't know if it was from the plastic thing or leaving the veet on too long because the plastic thing sucks. LolAnyway, I just use a wash cloth now and I love it. :-) That tool is useless!

I'm in Europe right now so I don't have it with me. I guess how I remember, u push ones it's for 1 min if you push twice its for 2min and if u push 3 times in a row that's the one that has no timer and u can wash as long as u want with it. That's what I think.

I just installed one and it is a very nice unit. The seat does not rock at all and I weigh around 275. I would recommend this product for a very cost effective bidet.

Works just fine on the tush also. I use mine mainly for showering. I have taken a bath with it. It is softer than just the tub itself. It is also much safer getting up and out of the tub.

Sorry, I bought this item for my mom on my uncles advice. She is 86 and loves it as it is simple to operate and pet friendly. Very quiet and great for older people who sit in in one area for extended lengths of time.

There are conflicting answers here too. Two people say both, two say only the bidet. Anyone with a solid confirmation?

It's a much stronger flow of non heated water to the backside area. The only heated function is for the frontside wash. Personally, I did not find this bidet useful because, while heated water supposedly sprays the front side, it was always the backside that it hit. No matter how you sit on the toliet. I'm currently using a handheld non heated bidet instead of bio bidet.

Yes, should be fine. It has 3 speeds. But the penetration is probably about the same on all three levels. I use the first level most of the time going back and forth slowly over area. If you stay a long time in area, can be sore later, similar to after having a massage therapist working on a specific area Drinking a lot of water helps flush toxins released from massage. them I have not found anything better. This is the 3rd one I have bought. They seem to only last a few years. The first one stopped after a few years. the second one started becoming noisy and I couldn't figure out why. I gave it to my daughter who was fine with that and bought the 3rd one. If it is on too long (red light comes on), the motor gets hot it will automatically shut down until it cools off. Once cooled down you unplug it and the red light goes off and it works fine again. I have fallen asleep using it so the auto shut off it a good thing, protects itself (and me). I don't know how long it takes to get too hot, perhaps a hr or more. I have never found anything better. The professional full size one may be a little better but someone else has to use it on you, that's the one massage/physical therapist use. I am not sure it is any stronger but it is made to be used by a third party, which are not always available. Any area you can reach, you can do with this machine. Obviously, feels better if you can get your partner to use it on your back as they can get areas you miss. Obviously, you wouldn't want to go over the spine or any bony parts but great on the muscles. Hope that helps.

When I installed two of these toilets in my home, I noticed that and commented on it in my Amazon review. Mine always flush everything with one flush, but I do have to clean my toilets more frequently now. You have bought a toilet that uses less water because of conservation. So I just keep a brush and cleaner beside my toilet and clean as necessary.
