There are different levels to bidets.

An entry level bidet that doesn’t use electric (like a $40 one from Amazon) isn’t very difficult. If you can build basic ikea furniture you can install it. You basically just unscrew your toilet seat, install the bidet under it, put the seat back on, and then swap out a few tubes in the back of your toilet.

If you want a fancier one with a heating element it depends. With that you are typically replacing your toilet seat (check the size). You need electric, possibly at a voltage that your existing bathroom outlet might not have (if it’s even near the toilet). That veers into professional territory. But if it works with your existing bathroom infrastructure it isn’t too much harder than the basic ones.

To add to this: don’t let Tushy Instagram ads sway you. The $20 Amazon one has a superior stream and bog washing capabilities to the $150 premium version.

Dang good to know. I've had a tushy one for like 5 years, the cheapest one and it's been pretty decent overall.

Don’t get me wrong - the tushy is fine. But not worth the extra cost. Their money goes into marketing, not product

Basic ones take about 8 minutes to install, no kidding. I recently bought a fancy one from Costco ($300, hot water, heated seat, bum drying, air sanitizing, etc), but the fucker was so tall that made my toilet look like something out of a hospital. Didn’t even install it, took it back and assured the customer service that I did not take a shit through it yet.

Just adding to the "yes, a bidet is worth it" crowd. My partner and I grabbed one the moment we moved into a place where the plumbing and bathroom layout made it feasible. Absolute best decision.
