Spent most of Saturday installing a Horow X70 smart bidet toilet. I’ve done some basic plumbing before, so I figured this wouldn’t be too bad. Overall, it was manageable, but a few parts took more patience than I expected.

Removing the old toilet went smoothly, and the flange looked fine after cleaning off the old wax. The X70 itself was the harder part. It’s heavy enough that I wouldn’t really recommend moving or setting it alone. Getting it lined up over the flange bolts took a couple tries, and I was pretty careful not to mess up the wax seal.

The part I didn’t plan well enough was the electrical. It needs a grounded GFCI outlet within reach, and mine is on the wrong wall. I’m using an extension temporarily just to test everything, but I know that’s not a proper long-term solution.

Plumbing side was straightforward, and I don’t see any leaks so far. After setup, I ran through the seat position and water pressure settings. First use felt a little strange after spending the whole day installing it, but everything seems to be working.

One thing I was extra paranoid about was the floor bolts. They need to be snug, but not overtightened, especially on tile. I learned that lesson the hard way on a different install years ago.

For anyone with an all-in-one smart bidet toilet, how did you handle the power situation? Did you have an electrician add a GFCI outlet nearby, or did you find another clean solution?

About two months into a longer solo trip and I've easily slept in at least 15 different places at this point. Hostels, overnight buses, a few train rides where someone snoring or still talking at 1 am. I sleep pretty much exclusively on my side and regular earbuds start hurting after an hour, so I've been looking at stuff built specifically for sleeping.

I've come across a few options, the Ozlo, Soundcore A20, Somnipods 3, a couple others, but reviews are all written by people sleeping in their own beds and I can't tell how they actually hold up to hostel-level chaos and constant position switching.

Comfort for side sleeping is the main thing. I don't need music or ANC, just something that blocks enough ambient noise and doesn't start digging into my ear after hour two. Battery life matters too since I'm not always near an outlet before bed. Budget is around $150, flexible if the difference is actually worth it.
