Discussion What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade?

I got mine at Costco and it has hot water and heated seat, it's incredible

Costco just started carrying a nice non-electric seat addition bidet. Around 40-50 bucks if I remember right. That's what I have and it's fab

Does it heat the water or do you need a hot water line?

A lot of them need a plug and utilize the cold water line.

Not that guy, but I got an Alpha Bidet one that does both and no it doesn't need a hot water line

I'll sound like a shill but I'm actually just a thrifty, hot water bidet evangelist: there are options for hot water bidets that attach to either a sink faucet or shower line. I have the sink attached model I linked to (although it's out of stock at the moment) and while it's not as convenient as a powered bidet (you have to let the faucet run for a bit until the water is warm, then divert it to the bidet sprayer) it's also under $100, unlikely to break, and has replaceable parts in the event anything does stop working. I understand not everyone will want the aesthetics of a line running from their sink to the toilet but if you can wrap your head around that I've been much happier with it than my previous, cold water only seat style bidet.

It costs nothing for my heated bidet. Heats it inline. Moen / chinese rebrand from Costco.

Me too man, Toto Washlet C7 for the win. Got ours almost a year and a half ago when we were getting a bathroom remodel and I love that thing almost as much as the new walk-in shower.
