If the option of installing a separate bidet in the bathroom is not available, you will benefit from such a modern multi-functional plumbing fixture as an electronic cover-bidet. What are the advantages and functions of such a cover, do they have drawbacks, and what particularities of the installation are important to know when purchasing it?
Device
The cover-bidet is designed for installation on the toilet, to make hygienic procedures more comfortable. It consists of a seat and a lid, which closes the toilet. The main feature of such a cover is the control panel, located on the side. Buttons on this panel allow you to control all the functions provided in a particular cover-bidet model. The seat has a built-in nozzle for water supply, as well as a drying nozzle, through which warm air is supplied.
Pros
- Compared to a conventional bidet, buying an electronic cover saves space in the bathroom. Such a lid helps to turn a standard toilet bowl into a device combining functions and a toilet bowl, and a bidet.
- The bidet cover fits most of the toilet bowls. It can be installed not only at home, but also in a hotel, a medical facility, a beauty salon, a sanatorium and other places.
- This cover has a large number of additional functions. For example, the user can change the temperature of the supplied water, include drying with warm air or heating the seat.
- Washing in water in these covers is provided in several modes - general, child and female. The jet of water that is supplied can also vary. It can be fed under great pressure, in the form of a pulsating jet, with bubbles.

Cons
One of the disadvantages of such a multifunctional device on the toilet is called its cost. The more functions are provided in the bidet cover, the higher the price of the selected model. As a rule, the prices for cover-bidets start from 10 thousand rubles.
In addition to the high cost, some models of bidet covers may not approach the toilet installed in the house, so before buying it is necessary to take measurements and then go to the store. You can also outline the outline of the toilet on the cardboard, cut out a sketch of a suitable cover and pick up a device on it in the store.
Installation
You can install the electronic cover-bidet on your own. In the complete set of the device you get the cover itself, the console, the electric cable, the hose with which the bidet cover is connected to the tank, and also the double that cuts into the water supply.
After unscrewing the hose through which the water enters the toilet bowl, a double is screwed into the outlet, allowing you to connect 2 hoses, one for the lid and the second for the tank. Then the lid is installed on the toilet and connected to the network.
