A week ago or so I got the Amazon alert that the Bio Bidet was available for $22.00 on the treasure truck delivered to the home. The wife expressed interest, very high ratings so I bought two.

We had the upstairs guest bathroom undergo a complete remodel in the last year, with a new toilet involved it was a piece of cake.
I went to do the master bathroom and after I hooked everything up I had a leak where I installed the supply line at the base of the tank, I disturbed the brittle gasket at the base of the tank where it feeds the fill valve when installing the tee. Fixing it would require replacing the gasket under the flush assembly. Cheaper to buy a new toilet with all new porcelain, hardware, toilet seat. I noticed that this was the lone supply valve in the house that needed replacing along with an old supply line. For $100 I can buy a new crapper and be done with it, but in a past shower repair in the same bathroom when I tried to replace a corroded cartridge, muscling it I saw the copper pipes in the wall behind the enclosure twisting...at that point I called a plumber that prevented me from tearing into the fiberglass and wall. Bought the toilet, going to have a plumber do the rest in that bathroom.
Both bathrooms upstairs at different times had issues with the bad foundations resulting in leakage. The master bath before the secondary bathroom, resulting in the floor needing to be replaced, but in the master bath I had the toilet replaced a few years prior to the damage when a handyman had accidentally cracked the bowl when the floor wasn't noticed as being compromised. Now I wish i had just bought a new toilet on the rebuilding of the water closet. Ryland homes pretty much sucks when it comes to second story plumbing.
I hate anything to do with plumbing, and homebuilders don't always hire the best craftsman.
