NEO 185 Plus Bidet

We installed the LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus, replacing our Luxe Bide Neo Elite that we have had since 2018 or 5 years. This new model has hinges allowing you to swing up the bidet piece to clean behind the nozzle area which to be honest, I had not been able to clean very well in those 5 years with the Neo Elite, since I could not get a toilet brush back there and I tried to clean with a paper towel and cleaner. With this 185 Plus, I am able to raise the toilet seat then the bidet and hold up the bidet attachment to clean behind the nozzle area with a toilet brush. We have a longer, older Universal-Rundle 1.6 gpf toilet. The controls looks more rectangular than the Elite and the Plus knobs have more edges than the Elite. Although I miss the softer curved lines on the Elite, I have gotten used to edges that might allow for better grip and turning. Installation time took less than 15 minutes to take out our old Elite and replace it with the Plus, not including the time to empty the toilet tank. Having a small glass with straight edges helped with emptying the water as did a washcloth to soak up the water. We probably did not have to do such a thorough job, just make sure water is below the outtake area. A small towel will also be helpful when you disconnect the water hose. The bidet comes with a good instruction book, parts, and a plastic wrench. You will need a large flathead screwdriver to unscrew your toilet lid. Even having had the 185 Neo Elite, you will need to replace the water supply hose and T-adapter with the ones provided in the kit. The Plus uses a standard 3/8" fitting. Previously for the Elite, we had to buy a special T-adapter to get the original Neo Elite to fit. The company may have provided one if we contacted them, but we had bought it from Amazon. For the Plus, the hose is 7/8" to connect up to the water tank while the end that connect with the bidet is 3/8". We replaced both our Elite bidets in one day and found it easier to: 1. Turn off the water and mostly empty the toilet tank 2. Take off the toilet seat and old bidet. It will give you more room to access the pipes on the left. 3. Replace and connect up the new hose and T-adapter 4. Put the new bidet on and then the toilet seat over it. We did not change out the previous hinge covers from the Elite bidet. 5. Screw the pieces gently together 6. Have a woman sit on the toilet and see if the feminine and bottom wash spray are coming out to spray the right areas. If not adjust the bidet position. The 185 Plus bidet spray come out more as a good, strong spray and less of the Elite's penatrating, directed stream of water which used to result in a loop of having to go to the bathroom again, spraying to clean and having to go again, etc. I am happier with the way the 185 Plus sprays. The 185 Plus includes the self-cleaning feature allowing water to wash over the nozzles. The controls and the way the knobs work are the same for the Elite and the Plus, so there is no learning curve. The knob farthest out controls the water pressure, turn this one slowly. The knob closest to the tank adjusts from feminine wash (to the far left), normal wash (middle), and nozzle self-clean (far right). As I mentioned, we have been using the Luxe Bidet Neo Elite series since 2018 and have been very pleased with them. We had two that we installed in our house, we liked them so much. I had bought a replacement knob in 2022 from the company since the inner plastic part which kept it in place had broken off. They arrived quickly. In 2023, I was sent an e-mail from Luxe Bidet, since I had left a 5 star Amazon review on the Elite in 2018, they offered me a 10% discount toward a new Luxe Bidet Plus and up to $50 refund check for my Elite bidet. I ordered the new Luxe Bidet Plus, provided the Amazon order information, and they sent me a $50 check even though the original Elite did not cost $50. I am really happy to get this new model, so I can clean behind the nozzle area. Also, in the 5 years, the bottom of the old Elite nozzles had gotten rather dirty even with the protective door cover. I know I did not do the self cleaning as often as I should. Periodically, I would also use cleaner and paper towel to clean them off more. I am delighted to have the new LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus and know I will get many cleaner years from this newer model. These bidets really help you feel much cleaner with less work and stretching to get all the areas and saves a ton of toilet paper. I was most grateful to have the bidet during the great COVID-19 Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020.

First of all, if you’re reading this and you’re purchasing your first bidet, congrats on the truly life changing decision! My wife and I easily survived the toilet paper fiascos in the US since Covid started. Anyway, bidets are truly wonderful and you’ll never feel clean enough without one. As for this brand, I love Luxe Bidet! This is our 4th bidet from them over two different homes. We’ve tried the single nozzle base model (NEO 120), the dual nozzle upgrade of that (NEO 180), and this is our second NEO 185 Plus. All 4 of them have been great products with no issues. In fact the only reasons we are on a 4th one is due to preferring the lifting ability of the NEO 185 Plus and moving homes. The previous bidets were discarded for the move. That is to say, we have never run into any issues that required warranty or replacement. They are very easy to install, function well, and we especially love the dual nozzles. The dual nozzles are helpful no matter who you are or what genitalia you have. The second nozzle is marketed for feminine purposes, which my wife confirms it’s excellent for, but I’ll explain how it’s helpful no matter who you are. It has a wider spray vs the narrow stream of the other nozzle. Now I’ll try to be as gentle with this next description. Sometimes we have intestinal issues that lead to a more watery #2. That tends to be a lot messier in general. That second nozzle with its wider spray can cover a much larger area if cleaning is needed there. We all hate the dreaded splash too, which the cleaning power of both nozzles helps with as well. I’ve seen other brands market their bidets with a lever to adjust the angle of the spray of the nozzles, but all have to do is move around a bit/rock back and forth. Simple. With both nozzles, I can assure myself that I’m clean no matter what type of bowel movement I have. My wife also loves the ability to wash the entire area. My advice to anyone who reads this is to set the spray to “OFF”, choose which nozzle you’re going for, then rotate the spray nozzle to your desired strength. Full power can be painful depending on your water pressure and sensitivity (if you’re a bit raw or have issues like hemorrhoids, you can really fine tune to get the most cleaning power and comfort), but it’s also more comfortable to work your way up to full power. Also the nozzle cleaning option really does work well to keep them clean. You will still need to scrub when you clean your toilet, but this will work great to prevent clogging and buildup. The NEO 185 Plus goes one step further with the ability to lift for cleaning. It will get dirty there no matter how clean we try to be, so this very welcomed. Cleaning both the bidet itself and the toilet, are made easier with this. Both my wife and I love the Luxe Bidet products, our favorite being this model, the NEO 185 Plus. Installation on this model is actually a bit easier because you don’t have to fully remove the toilet seat. Just make sure the toilet seat is tightened well once you’re done to help prevent movement. Overall I highly recommend this bidet, or at least a bidet from this brand. Other brands offer similar products for nearly twice the cost or more. Remember all these types of bidets are doing is taking some the clean water supplied to our toilets and routing it to these nozzles. I can at least say we have had 4 bidets from this brand that all did their job fantastically, and I personally feel they way outclass their dollar amount. Hope this helps!

My dominant hand and wrist are in a brace so I needed a bidet attachment. I did my due diligence and purchased this one. IT IS SO EASY TO USE! I feel so clean and not irritated by toxic toilet paper. It is at the water temperature of your water line to the toilet. Might be too cold if you live in a colder region that snows in the winter. There are heated versions but you will need an electrical outlet within a short distance. The instructions state you can do the installation yourself but I highly recommend a professional plumber. A 25 year experienced plumber took an hour. It has to do with the bolts as most are rusty and they have to work around that. The plumber cost was $190 and worth every penny! A family member also purchased two of these 3 years ago and there's are still going strong.

I have always wanted a bidet but, no pun intended, I never quite had the courage or desire to purchase one. My ex-in-laws installed one after remodeling, and that planted the seed a few years ago. Then I listened to Clean Butts and Dirty Minds with Miki Agrawal (founder of TUSHY) on Layla Martin’s podcast, This Tantric Life (also, best podcast ever — thank you Layla!!!). Miki illuminated me on the amount of waste we create with diapers, toilet paper, and deforestation, and how a bidet could help. This struck the practical side of me. But when looking at price, I just couldn’t pull the trigger. I was a student at the time and going through a divorce. Now, as a social work practitioner rebuilding myself and my life, I have transformed myself — and my bathroom — into a safe space where cleanliness meets self-actualization. From the bottom (pun intended) to the top of the pyramid: when we use the bathroom, our most basic needs are met. We have a roof over our heads, we have eaten, we are safe, and that relaxation response of relief after a good deuce feels a whole lot like the same vagal response we experience in rest and digest. For a brief moment, we are no longer in fight or flight. We are self-actualized. Enter the Luxe Neo 185 Plus. I was so disappointed when it came to my mailbox and the note stated it was “too long” to fit, and I would have to pick it up. At the post office, the postmaster read aloud: “Too long.” Naturally, I replied: “That’s not what she said.” We all had a laugh, and I went straight home to install it. Quick and easy. I didn’t even have to read the instructions. Also, disclaimer: there are pics. OK. First bidet and first splash of enlightenment on timing. Fair warning: my apartment has high water pressure, and my pressure regulator has been making noise lately when I do laundry. I also did not close the valve at all. So: wide open, first run. Wow. What an experience. The cold water wasn’t alarming. I felt clean immediately — outside, and just a bit on the inside. It was like the water-gun game at the fair on the first shot. I did not win a stuffed animal, but I felt like one. I was so excited to actually use it in a live-round scenario, but that will have to wait. Then I cleaned the toilet. I cleaned the bathroom. I cleaned the bathtub. I even waxed my plastic toilet seat with Meguiar’s Cleaner Wax and wow — what a shine. My throne now glistens as much as my anus. I wonder how much I will actually save on toilet paper and how much my carbon footprint will reduce? Can you tell someone’s economic status by how much toilet paper they keep in the cabinet? Don’t act like you haven’t checked your friends’ bathrooms. Also, who is evil enough to store toilet paper in the laundry room and not the bathroom? I digress. Luxe hit the right price and was the right product for me, and I can’t wait to regulate my vagal tone more often. Thanks, Luxe!

Just for reference, 69 y/o male, not great health or knees, first time Bidet user so I have nothing to compare to. Wondered for years about these and due to worsening bm issues decided to try one. Installation even for me was fairly easy. Before you disconnect your supply hose to toilet have a large tupperware type basin to catch any drips even after flushing a couple of times. Drip was very minimal. I used a slightly different sequence of assembly as I chose to first attach supply hose to T-valve and Bidet supply hose to T-valve then T-valve to toilet fitting and left supply hose from T-valve to Bidet off till installing Bidet under seat. Did 4 wraps for two metal threads from T-valve with supplied plumbers/teflon tape. The only minor redo was changing from standard Bidet covers to the higher ones so my toilet seat would touch the front and not sit on the Bidet at the rear...an extra 2-3 minutes top. Still probably only took about 10 minutes to install. Immediately gave it a test run and hit the target on the first try. Turn the wash pressure very slowly and you won't get firehosed in your hindrant. Water was a little cool but within a few seconds and getting to medium pressure was comfortable considering it's only a cold water supply. I'm not sure how others eliminate toilet paper all together without a dryer as I'll still need to blot dry but it's less irritating, cleaner, and still will save a fortune in toilet paper and eliminate using flushable wipes. Probably deserves 5 Stars but being how I just installed it and need to give it at least a few weeks to a month to be sure, I'm giving it 4 Stars as of today but as of now recommend it.

Magical! I'm talking enchanted forest, talking animals and fae folk singing and dancing all while preparing delicious food that tastes as good as anime food looks. It has a great price, it's quick and easy to install, took me about 15 minutes, and it has drastically reduced my toilet paper use. Not to mention how much cleaner and comfortable I feel and afterwards. It has been, by far, one of the best additions to my house I have made in a very long time and I guarantee I will have one on each of my toilets from this day forward.

This adapter is a very well thought out bidet for most toilet seats, but it runs into a problem with Kohler slow-close seats. The seat is very nice and it's a solid recommendation, but the shape has a slight downward edge that keeps the bidet from flipping up for cleaning. There isn't a workaround, the bidet manufacturer provides shims that could lift the seat enough for clearance but in this case they don't work. The seat touches the top of the bidet and there's no room to flip up the bidet for cleaning. So that's a zonk but you can just move the seat with little effort when you need to flip up the bidet to clean behind it. It's not perfect but it's just a little annoying, how often do you need to clean there anyway. I'd shave off half a star for that but that's all, the combination is still very good. The problem is with the seat, not the bidet.

Who doesn’t like the clean feeling after using bidets? Lol. It wasn’t until recently that tried one while staying with some out of state friends. I had always imagined it being something only the wealthiest own. Imagine my surprise and glee when I learned that they aren’t incredibly budget breaking. Thus began my deep dive research. After spending more time than I care to admit, I learned that the Luxe brand would be my best option. I initially added the Neo 185 to my cart because I enjoyed the feminine wash option. (Gotta keep it clean ladies! lol). But then saw there was a neo 185 plus. Ever the hygiene hero, I decided to look in to the differences before hitting that check out button. For only a couple dollars more than the Neo 185, the Plus has a 360 degree self cleaning function. It also has the ability to slide in for installation so there was no need to remove the toilet seat. What’s more is has that cool little EZ-Lift hinge, so I don’t have to take it off the seat when cleaning my toilet. Nice right? So I went ahead and got it for my super basic round (sadly not elongated) toilet. For starters, the rose gold/white option was best to match my SUPER ORIGINAL ocean/beach themed bathroom. (I know, I am so amazing at being original LOLLLL). Not only does it match flawlessly but it is very seamless in that it doesn’t look like I have some clunky weird thing sticking off the side of my toilet. I did have to get some seat numbers to make it level because I have the super basic curved toilet seat. (One day I’ll have a bathroom with all the bells and whistles. When I dream, I dream big! 🤣) But once those bad boys were on, we were off the the races. Be mindful as you turn the nozzle that controls the pressure and speed. If you aren’t paying attention to it, you will get a cold pressure washing lol. Now, I can’t afford the warm/cold water bidet, but the water that runs through this one isn’t TOO cold if ya catch my meaning. The angle of the water stream is just right enough. Though if you aren’t careful, you will be sending a spray of water outside the toilet lol. It doesn’t make any loud noises nor does it smell foul. So far, it’s been a splendid addition and I do appreciate the clean feeling afterwards. I presently have no complaints about it and I WILL update his review if something changes. So if there aren’t any changes presently, then it’s still working out fine. I was one who grew up thinking I could never own a home. But I surprised myself and made that goal. To add to that, I grew up daydreaming about things I would do to said home. The bathroom was always a major part of that. A rain shower with natural looking stone wall as well as a stone looking tub, heated toilet seat that has a bidet built in, an above counter sink with a faucet that looks like a natural stone and the running water being a waterfall look alike. Anyway, I’ve gone wayyyyy off track. I may not be able to build my dream bathroom right now, but when I do, Luxe will most definitely be a part of it. I don’t regret the purchase and I don’t think you would either.

Did not fit swedish toilet had to return

UK install. This has taken me ages to find the correct fittings to get this to work in the UK and all the Luxe websites state that it is a 1/4" water hose fitting on the bidet itself. I found it not to be that on the particular one i had but it is 9/16" x 24 TPI (Threads per inch). So I bought a brass reducer fitting that was 9/16" x 24TPI UNEF (Unified national extra fine) female and 3/8" BSP male that will fit any generic UK water hose no problem. From the photos you can see how i then plumbed it up to my water supply. This is no means of advice on what to do but it's what i did for my application and it worked a treat.

Funcionalmente o Bidet é ótimo, nenhuma reclamação. Porém o adaptador que acompanha o produto vem no padrão para encanamento US. É necessário um adaptador para dividir a saída 1/2 em 2 saídas 1/2 e também um redutor de 1/2 para bitola da mangueira. Rodei por umas 10 lojas de material hidráulico até achar alguma que tivesse algum adaptador. Na descrição do produto menciona a medida de 3/8" para a bitola da mangueira, porem o adaptador 3/8 para 1/2 que é facilmente encontrado não serve, é maior que o necessário. Após muita busca encontrei o adaptador na mangflex em porto alegre , pelo que o vendedor disse a medida é realmente 3/8" mas para canos de cobre. Espero que essas informações ajudem futuros compradores a acharem os adaptadores com um pouco mais de facilidade.

I first bought a Luxe Bidet Neo 120 ten years ago. Used it everyday since it's been great! Using just toilet paper now seems so primitive! For no particular reason, I recently looked over what other models Luxe offers and found the Neo 185 Plus. It looked like a great upgrade to the Neo 120. I was very pleased to see that many of the design limitations from the 120 were addressed in the 185. First off, water pressure regulation. The 120 had none meaning you had to be careful not to "power-wash" sensitive areas of your anatomy! New users to the bidet reliably used too much pressure resulting in a less than fun first experience! Sometimes, jumping off the seat, in surprise and in an act of self-preservation! The 185 limits the pressure to pretty much to the perfect level of intensity - even with the valve fully open. Since the 185 has the additional feature of the "feminine wash", my wife reported that the water pressure is well controlled meaning it is also well suited for the task. Other improvements. The mounting system is far improved with the hinge design which allows easier installation and positioning of the spray nozzle "aim". And the hinge design adds the welcomed feature of the entire unit tiling up for cleaning. This cleaning feature is also a great improvement over the design of the 120 where the only way to clean under the unit was to completely remove it which is totally impractical. The mounting hinges also have rubber inserts to prevent them from slipping on the shiny surface of the toilet. The valves feature smoother action and the control "pod" design looks more modern (I have the chromed handles). The spray nozzles have no flange on the bottom which potentially could trap contaminants. They also improved the "wash" feature - now it sprays water on the nozzles and on the down the front and rear of the nozzle splash shield. The adapter t-fitting is now made of metal instead of plastic which is also a big security improvement since plastic could fail/spit resulting in a flood. They also standardized the size of the fittings on the metal braided connection hose to 3/8″ x 3/8″. The only downside is the smaller plastic male threaded fitting on the bidet pod is potentially easier to cross-thread. So before installing the unit on the toilet, connect the flex hose so you can carefully monitor the angle of the nut tightening on to the fitting. I did not need to use the plumbers tape on this connection since flex hose has an o-ring on sealing surface. So the only problem...I have another Neo 120 that I want to replace it with a 185! Luxe should be proud of this product - they have put the time in and made pretty much every needed improvement to make this the best add-on bidet on the market!

Trae herramientas y manual de armado, te va guiando paso a paso para ello y de manera sencilla. El mismo manual te indica si es o no necesaria la plomería, pero en mi caso no fue necesario ya que solo fue desconectar la manguera que surte el depósito, retirar la tapa del retrete, poner cinta teflon en las mangueras, poner el paso T, conectar las mangueras, volver a poner la tapa del retrete y nivelar un poco el chorro de agua. Laborioso pero sencillo. Lo más seguro, es que necesites aparte comprar los niveladores de la tapa del retrete, ya que al poner el bidet, no queda nivelada la tapa y puede ser a futuro un problema que dañe la sujeción del bidet. Deberían de comentar eso en la misma publicación antes de comprar el bidet ya que llegan desfasados ambos productos.
