I know most of you have knowledgeable suggestions, so gave 'em to me. Explain why you made that suggestion. Give me something to work with. I'm a newb.

Also, I live in an apartment, so I'm not suppose to modify my bathroom by cutting through shit and making somewhat permanent modifications to my bathroom, but I'm also fairly handy around the house and have a decent amount of tools for someone that lives in an apartment. For example, I'm not suppose to drill a hole through the side of the under the sink cabinet so I can run a line through there to hook up to the hot water line, but I can probably find the laminate used on the outside of the cabinet and a dowel with paint to match the inside enough so they won't notice it.

One other piece of info, there is an outlet fairly close to my toilet which is right next to the sink / vanity. It is actually to plugin an electric razor, but would work for this if need be.

Why am I doing this? Because. Don't judge me. Also, big toilet paper is about to unleash hell on America. TP prices are about to spike and they will never come back down to today's prices which are already insane for something you'll only use to wipe your ass with. I'd like to avoid that and get in on the bidet market before inflation hits.

I'm on the fence regarding whether it is worth springing for a warm water hookup, but I'm thinking it'd be nice. Thoughts?

Also, how well do these things work? I mean if I take a powerful dump that paints the bowl or a massive log or two, how effective are these things at cleaning the butt up after. I suspect some TP will be necessary afterward. Obviously, nobody wants to walk around with a wet ass all day.

This is an important life question, and I probably won't do it if I don't get good advice. I know a good portion of you people have being having squirt gun fights with your buttholes for years. Give me your life lessons.

A basic add-on is like $40. I have two of those in my house.
In the master I have one with the heated seat and warm water reservoir. But they're closer to $200-$400, depending on the model.
Either way you can remove and take with you when you move out. Both take the same amount of time to connect.

I must be looking at the add-ons. I just did a basic search on Amazon. I didn't realize some have reservoirs. Do those need to be hooked up to a hot water line or does the reservoir heat the water? I seriously don't know anything about this. Serious question.

Really just need to decide if you want to spend $50 or $300
Cold or warm water? Regular seat or heated seat?

I don't think I care whether or not the seat is heated. I'm on the fence regarding the temperature of the water. Maybe I should just start with cold, but warm sounds better. I don't care much regarding the price, I mean I can always remove it when I move.

What would you recommend between the guest one and the kids one if you were doing over today? Also, do they come with the T attachment and everything to hook it up minus the tools?

Yeah everything you need is included

I'd rate them exactly the same honestly. Just get the cheaper option out of the two

You will have it setup in like 5 minutes. There's nothing to it

Turn off water
Remove toilet seat
Add attachment and seat
Reconnect water with T attachment

Spend the extra cash and get one with the water warmer. I installed one for the wife that doesn't warm the water and I hate it. Freezes my fartbox to the point is uncomfortable.

Apparently, the one I ordered this morning is waiting for me in a locker downstairs. I'll give it a try, but the warming feature does sound nice to me. I did see some that weren't very expensive, so I'll see.
