Thank you so much for your review. We have just had one installed and found the manual that comes with it to be useless. Your advice on just using the side controls was good and so was your advice on the warranty requiring a qualified plumbers invoice. Please tell me…how does the seat get warm? Does it only get warm after sitting on it or can it be warmed ahead of sitting on the seat?

Hi! Do the blinds still work? Some recent reviews claim that they are not durable. Is the heat insulation decent?

Thanks for the video! After watching it, we decided on this model as well, made the same adjustments and it all turned out great! We wouldn't have considered it otherwise since Ikea doesn't advertise the product as adjustable to different window lengths. You rock!

i Really want to buy one of these. They have good reviews and Bunnings have a good warranty system , BUT do you think i can get any straight answers from Evekare support about weather it will fit my toilet. i Have sent heaps of photos and also held the template over the bowl with photos. All i get is non committal answers . If that's the pre sales support , i would hate to see the after sales support.
@hm6954Ай бұрын
I had the same issue. The only way is the get a qualified plumber to check out if it will work in your toilet. It I also found that most plumbers were not sure of bidets. Fortunately I found a terrific plumber who was honest about not having done one before but was patient and smart enough to complete the installation. Good luck.

@@hm6954 I finally gave up on Evekare support. I went to Bunnings and purchased one with the idea being to just take it out of the box and sit it on top of my toilet and see if it will fit. I decided it would and arranged for a plumber to come and give me a quote. He came , he quoted a reasonable price and fitted it there and then. All done. Just getting used to it now. I would love to be able to turn the night light OFF. I would like to stress again the lack of support from Evekare.

Thank you so much! We just bought these and had an uh oh, we can't modify them moment, but thanks to your video, this worked. $350 for 4 large windows vs $1800 for custom. People need to know they can do this. Also, next time, use a mitre saw and use green painter's tape all the way around the edge you're cutting, it slices through both the metal and the fabric smoothly every time with no fray (and much less effort).

Perhaps a daft question, but how much extension do you think you could achieve on the length? The non-blockout Hoppvalls are just not long enough for old, tall windows!
@DavidTasmania6 ай бұрын
The IKEA website says the length is 195 cm, we have extended ours to a little over 200cm. It could go more by unwinding the string in the pulley system, however it might not wind all the way back up. If you don't need to open the blind all the way, then it could work.

No additional flow/check/backflow valves were required on our install. Keep in mind that if you do it yourself, the warranty may be harder to get as we needed to provide the plumber receipt for an older model (previous version) that the seat sensor stopped working.

I just purchased 5 of these in used mint condition from across the country measuring 100cm in width, only to get gutted in realizing that its not possible to cut them to size beyond like a good 2 or so cm because the mechanism spans the whole width of the top. This was a helpful video nevertheless and it looks amazing! Back to the drawing board for me 😂

You can drill out the rivet that holds the Spring and shorten the spring by adding a screw back in for the spring to hook onto. It will slightly lower the "pull" of the blind. For us, its continued to work fine.

@jamieche3349 Жыл бұрын
Just wanted to say again that the video tutorial was very helpful! I finally mustered the courage to do it for the nursery as well as using an electric drill for the first time. My window frame was 150cm wide so I used 2 x 80cm blinds and cut 4.5cm off each blind. It was a tight fit but I managed to fit it in by not putting back one of the plastic end caps at the top. Not having the plastic end cap wasn't noticeable. Next time I would allow for a 1cm gap and use a non-coloured hacksaw blade (the blue colour rubbed off a bit onto the edge of the blinds).

Thanks for the video. You have inspired me to give it ago :) If it’s any assistance to anyone else, a sharp knife seems to work better on the honeycomb section. I had the light filtering type. Also top section is aluminium and bottom bar is steel. I cut both with angle grinder with cutoff wheel. Mine I couldn’t really lengthen that much, when fully extended the pulleys are at the end, so it’s only a maybe 5cm. Can’t length string with a knot, it’s too big. Had to melt/pull though new string, but can only get maybe 25cm more. Was just enough to work. Bit of a task, but got there in the end :)

@CyndiLH Жыл бұрын
I'm still not getting how you can screw into the side of the window when the top of the blind is sitting against the window frame so at that point you can't access it. Unless you remove the ends then screw them into the sides and then push the blind into them which it appears won't work
@DavidTasmania Жыл бұрын
For our doors, the gap from the window to the frame is small. So I can still access the blind internals after attaching. If there was more depth, then we could use the IKEA Clips.
