I always feel like the hands-free bidet is sneaking up on me, I prefer the control and manual aim/pressure of the gun.

Ehhhhh, kinda difficult to pick.

I have both in my house, in different bathrooms. Hands free is nice because it's all lazy and easy, but it actually takes longer by a little bit.

The handheld is faster, and has a nice massage effect. However, there's more overspray, even with the kind I have that's focused rather than just a repurposed sink sprayer like I've run into, and tried.

So I think I err on the side of handheld overall, but I have used seat based ones that had a lot of settings that were really nice, like oscillating spray, pulses, etc. They aren't just about it being nice, they make the job quicker too, countering the flaw most of them have.

i think i err on the side of convenience as well, but i couldn't agree more with how fun a dozen settings are

I remember my first time in the tokyo airport bathroom, they have hands free bidets and i conservatively spent 15 minutes after business time experimenting with the functions.

Yeah, the first fancy bidet I ran across, I was the same way. It was at a friend's house, and they were giving me hell about playing with it after I was in there for a good twenty minutes.

How can you not try everything out?
