Conor Elara Non Electric Bidet Toilet Seat D-Shape

I had just replaced my toilet with a Fienza Chica suite and needed a new bidet because the existing bidet, a Lafeme didn't fit this new shape, which is basically an elongated oval . I had looked around at just about everything on the market and kept coming back to the Conor Elara D shape. At first on the recommendation of Gemini I went for a Luxe neo 185 plus, but the more I looked into it the more I was turned off.

You see, it comes from the USA where they use NPT threads, and I could see a couple of solutions, but it required a lot of mucking about and trial and error. Even the manufacturer could not give me a straight answer on how to hook an NPT thread to a G1/2 BSP thread, and they could not tell me whether it was 3/8 or 1/2 NPT, so more confusion and pain.

I went back to the Conor, sent them an email and they recommended the D shape based on the photo I supplied.

On opening, it was full of bits and pieces, a double ended screw driver, a spanner, two T connections, and a number of fitting choices. In the end I used what I already had, because my suite was a very awkward customer to use somebody else's screws and bits and pieces. Using the supplied template, I pushed the fixing bracket as forward as possible, tightened it up and connected the hose and that was it, finished. Now, the thing I noticed it was not as deep as my pan, but that made sense due to the fact of what a Bidet does. Then I noted it did not extend or sit square with the front lip of my pan, but then again neither did the supplied seat from the manufacturer of the toilet. I then tested it out, plenty of water pressure with both nozzles and the direction was pretty good as well. Conclusion, is, I am old, this suits me just fine, I don't need toilet paper, and I don't have to twist my body inside out to find or reach where the toilet paper needs to go.

Another thing, I compared it to the Lafeme I had which will cost you around $250.00 and found the quality was as good, and looking at the underside, it looks exactly the same and could have come out of the same factory.

Highly recommended and save the environment.
