The best hand-held bidets have a chrome head and hose and can fit into a water source that is separate from the toilet. These can be used in the shower or over a toilet bowl and usually begin at about $25-$30.
Traditional European-style bidets are either porcelain or plastic and can fit into a medium-sized bathroom alongside a toilet. The small faucets at the top of the bowl create a gentle stream of water for convenient cleaning. The cost of these bidets is similar to that of a regular toilet, around $500.
There is also a wide selection of bidets which fit into toilets. The most basic type can be installed with a pair of pliers or a screwdriver. They are made of durable plastic, and have adjustable water pressure and self-cleaning spray arms. These bidets don’t occupy space in the bathroom and the spray arm can be positioned so that it is out of sight when not in use.
In the $200-$400 range are bidets which have adjustable temperature control (the bidets discussed up until now use mainly cold water). The source of the warm water is the bathroom sink. There are also pressure control options and self-cleaning nozzles. More advanced bidets have a 60 second automatic shut-off system, and water pressure that can be adjusted on four levels.
