The Superior Bidet Supreme Review
A surprisingly expensive bidet attachment. Does it have the features to justify its steep price?
More photos and the current price.
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Metal valve construction. | Pricey compared to others |
Full-featured. | No innovation or unique qualities. |
Easy to operate control panel. |
First, the basics:
- This is a bidet attachment, not a full bidet seat.
- There are two nozzles; one for posterior cleaning and another for feminine cleaning.
- It has a nozzle cleaning function.
- Non-electric (uses only your home’s water pressure to operate).
- It will fit virtually any toilet.
- It comes in white with gray accents.
- You will need a screwdriver and a wrench to install.
- All functions are controlled by turning one of the three dials.
- The nozzles automatically retract when the bidet isn’t being used.
- There is a splash-guard that blocks both nozzles and their housing from coming into contact with bodily fluids.
- Angle of the nozzles can be adjusted by tilting their housing forward or backward.
- One-year manufacturer’s warranty.
The Pros:
- Metal internal valves.
- Always a pro, for me. Not having to worry about brittle plastic valves shattering like teenage hearts is reassuring and bodes well for a long-lasting product.
- Provides all functions expected of a top-tier non-electric bidet.
- There’s nozzle cleaning, hot and cold water and dual nozzles.
- Easy operation via control panel.
- Clearly labeled controls and easy to manipulate dials.
- Clearly labeled controls and easy to manipulate dials.
- Easy to install.
- Installing a bidet-attachment could very well be your first exposure to the world of plumbing. Thankfully, Superior Bidet keeps it simple like most others and shouldn’t be a challenge for anyone without dexterity or strength issues.
- Can be adjusted to fit nearly any toilet. Superior Bidet uses adjustable plates with slots to ensure it will fit no matter the dimensions of your seat’s attachment (as long as it is a two-piece toilet).

-
The nozzles automatically extend and retract and are protected by a splash-guard.
- When you activate the water, the desired nozzle will extend and begin to spray.
- When you stop the flow of water, the nozzle retracts, keeping it clean for the next use.
- The splash-guard blocks the nozzles and their housing from the front and opens like a door so that you can easily access the nozzle itself.
- A one-year manufacturer’s warranty.
The Cons:
- Completely standard.
- What I mean by this is that while it functions well and is fairly durable, Superior Bidet has done nothing to set them apart from other bidet attachments.
- This isn’t a big con, but with this bidet attachment costing more than most others, I’d expect some innovation.
- Another case of a cold-water plastic t-adapter.
- For the price, Superior Bidet could surely have included two metal t-adapters instead of one.
- A leaky t-adapter can destroy a floor like a fedora can destroy your reputation. Once again, I would recommend not chancing a leak and buying a metal t-adapter along with the bidet.
- Raises the back of the toilet seat up, creating a slight forward angle.
- This can be slightly uncomfortable as well as a bit unattractive.
- This is inherent in bidet attachments, however. Any other bidet attachment review is going to mention the same problem.
- An easy fix is available, as most home-improvement stores offer toilet seat risers to increase the height of the front of the seat, so that it is level.
