I was attracted to this model because it has a valve on the bottom of the bottle (I will explain below why it matters). Bidet bottles with a valve became hard to find as the manufacturers are trying to cut costs.
The valve on the bottom allows air to escape, which equalizes air pressure in the bottle. This has the following benefits:
(1) If the bottle is turned upside down, it does not leak. I can aim it without drips, then squeeze to start the stream. If a bottle does not have a valve, the bottle leaks continuously.
(2) The spray comes out stronger in a bottle with a valve, and you don't need to stop and let the air come in through the nozzle; the water can spray continuously
(3) The bottle does not make loud slurping sounds because the air goes through the valve
On the negative side, this bottle is made out of plastic, not silicone as my favorite model (which unfortunately is no longer being sold). Plastic is much more rigid, so it is harder to squeeze than silicone. The need to squeeze hard makes the stream harder and hurts my hand after a short period. If you have arthritis, this is not a good bottle to buy.
I hope the discussion of pluses and minus makes it easier for you to know if this bottle meets our needs.
You can find it on Amazon by following this link.
