I think a big obstacle to adoption here is that most US bathrooms don't have an electric outlet in the right place for a Washlet. Now the already expensive toilet needs electrical work too, which may not even be possible if you're a renter.
If I ever own a place I'm definitely getting one though.

- remmargorp64 7y agoI rent an apartment, and I just ran a 25 foot white-colored extension cord around my bathroom wall along the top of the floorboard molding, with the cord tacked in place with coax cable clips. It then plugs into my GDFI outlet on the other side of the restroom. It looks tidy enough, and it gets the job done! It has a heated water tank, heated seat (although I never use it), a blow dryer, and a night light. I haven't needed to use a single square of toilet paper ever since I got my bidet. No regrets!

- bryanlarsen 7y agoMany bathrooms will have a light switch nearby though. Replace it with one of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-Combo-Self-Test-Tamper-Resistant-GFCI-Outlet-and-Switch-White-R92-GFSW1-0KW/206000203 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-Combo-Se...
- dariusj18 7y agoThis is the reason I have only bought the bidet attachments. One day, I will run power to my toilet area and start with a bidet seat, then eventually I will get the full toilet.
