Kohler PureWash M300 Manual Elongated Bidet Toilet Seat, Chrome Handle, Quiet-Close Lid Prevents Slamming, Toilet Bidet, Easy Installation with Quick-Release Hinges, Self-Cleaning Wand

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.

First time it broke after only five weeks of use. It literally had me slide part way off the toilet and onto the floor when just trying to scoot just a bit forward to get up. ~Ef you Arthritis~Pro tip: Don’t scoot. Fixed that problem until the replacement square attachment plate could be ordered from the only source available was from, from Kholer clear over on the east coast (Go Seahawks) Three weeks and $15 bucks later it arrives. Okay, here we go for round two. I kept my fingers crossed. I really, really don’t want to get under the toilet again to install another one. Alas I was left disappointed. I then had the shiny handle break off last week inside the bidet making it useless. Considering that I only bought it last year, I have to say I’m disappointed. I would avoid this overpriced over-engineered mess if I were you. BTW I tried to make it work because of the cost. Just don’t. Don’t do what I did and trying to polish a turd just leaves you with shiny bulseaat. I don’t have a problem with Kholar but did they even test this for people over 200lbs? When this broke I replaced it with the $35 stand alone version of the bidet from Kholar along with a $40 Kholar elongated seat. Seventy five bucks total and it is also so much more comfortable compared to this one piece POS. Notice a trend here?

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.

It has been always difficult for me to clean my buttocks since I have limited mobility in my arms. So I have been looking for bidets but they were too expensive and needed an electrical outlet near the toilet, which I don't have. Then, I found this bidet toilet seat at a reasonable price and no-electricity needed. I was a little concern about the cold water and the water pressure. The cold water is not a problem and it is even refreshing. It WORKS GREAT!!!! it really cleans the area . Also, it was very easy to installed and no leaks. My brother installed it for me in less than an hour. I am very happy with this bidet. It was a great buy :-) :-) :-)

Fit my custom toilet great and works the same.

The bidet arrives well packed including all pie es needed for installation. It fits perfect in our Kohler toilet and is comfortable to sit on. Installation was simple, one item to look out for is to make sure the hose that connects to the seat is tightened to where it cannot wiggle otherwise it will leak - this is the only nut that I needed my husband to tighten (picture below). As others have mentioned, the water spray is light and narrow compared to other bidets I have used. I attribute this to the narrow water tube feeding the bidet. The other item to be aware of is since the bidet is built into the seat, the hole in the seat is comparable to a round toilet seat with a larger back portion of the seat. Therefore if you are tall (I am 5’11”) more of your legs hang off the seat in order to center yourself properly. An overweight person may have difficulty with this seat. (Picture below) It does have directions for use under the lid although still ambiguous (picture below) This seat does not have an electrical element to it, therefore the water is not heated and you do not need an electrical outlet. The seat is solidly built and does have a nice soft close. My husband likes the looks of this one as it is made specifically for Kohler. The less expensive one we had that kept the seat size the same and had more water volume options was easier to use but not as solidly made. Since I am the one who uses it, I gave it three stars due to light water flow and the reduction of the useable seat depth.

These actually have the hot water function, and you don’t have to do anything extra. It’s a normal easy set up. I am terrible with plumbing or anything like that and I put one on so easily. It’s really simple. The problem is I ordered two and one of the toilets in my house is a really cheap toilet and I am having a terrible time installing it on that one, because the threading on the cheap toilet is terrible & now it’s leaking, etc. But thats not the fault of the bidet itself, as on my other higher quality toilet I installed it in literally less than 10 minutes with no problems.

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.
