The main benefit of buying an electronic bidet cover is that all amenities will be in one place. Its presence allows you to perform all hygiene procedures, eliminating the transplantation from one plumbing fixture to another from this process.
The whole list of advantages consists of several points:
- Space saving. The ability to turn a standard toilet into a device 2 in one - a toilet plus a bidet.
