Brondell Bidet Toilet Seat S1400, Smart Toilet Seat, Dual Stainless-Steel, Self-Cleaning Nozzle With Clean Plus Technology, Endless Warm Water Bidet, Warm Air Dryer-Nightlight, Heated Seat, Round

I'm pretty passionate about this product so be ready for a rather long review. First off, I bought my first Brondell bidet about a year ago. I had been interested in getting a bidet for quite a while and, despite some skepticism from my family ( eww, water squirting on your butt! ), pulled the trigger and bought the Brondell Swash 1400 with the round bowl in December of 2018. Bottom line, we loved it, and I mean we ALL loved it. My families skepticism soon turned to praise as the discovered the wonders of having a bidet and a truly clean bottom.Installation was a breeze. The only difficult part was installing an outlet next to the toilet installing the actual bidet only took minutes. The included instructions did an excellent job walking you through the process. The only hitch, and I can't pin this on Brondell, was that the bidet did not fit quite right on the toilet. The front of the seat hung over the edge of the toilet about an inch. If you look at the pictures I uploaded you can see what I am talking about. It wasn't a problem for my wife but for me things could get a little crowded up front. It was tolerable so we just left things as they were. I was impressed with the durability of the Brondell bidet. This is a device that gets used multiple times a day every day of the week. We have had zero problems for over a year. The only problem that did arise was my wife getting ticked off that the kids kept using the toilet in our master bath so they could use the bidet! Well, we solved the problem by purchasing a second Brondell Swash 1400. This time with the extended seat. We took our time measuring dimensions on the toilet we were going to be replacing our old toilet with to make sure the Brondell bidet would fit properly. It was a success. The seat fits great on the new toilet, looks great, and I really appreciate the extra room up front. We replaced our downstairs toilet at the same time and did the same job of making sure we would have sufficient room between the seat attachment points and the tank so the bidet could sit back far enough to maximize the room up front. I have attached pictures of the toilets we ended up buying. You can see in the pictures with the wood grain flooring the difference the new toilet made with how the seat fits.Part of what makes the Brondell such a great bidet are the variety of controls that the remote gives you along with the two user customizable presets. It's great to be able to just push a couple of buttons and the seat temperature, spray pressure, spray width, and oscillation settings just the way I like them. My wife thought the night light was too bright and I didn't like chimes when you sat down which is why the ability to customize settings is so wonderful. We turned off the chimes and the night light and now both my wife and I are happy.To sum things up, I don't think you can go wrong buying the Brondell Swash 1400. I did quite a bit of research before buying and the specs and features of this unit along with the many testimonials I read convinced me that this was the bidet for me. My parents were so impressed when they visited and used the Brondell bidet that they made the decision to buy on for their house as well. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these babies up today, trust me you will be glad that you did!

For my second bidet purchase, I thought I’d try another highly rated bidet, but I’m returning it to get a second Brondell 1400. I tried he Bio-Bidet 2000 out of curiosity, but I should have stayed with the Brondell I already loved! It works great and has an intuitive control panel—which is extra important when I rent my house out to guests. The Bio-Bidet’s digital style remote is hard to read. After a week I still don’t understand how to use it. Forget using it ant night. Also, it has a stream that’s piercing! It was shockingly sharp-feeling. After using the Brondell for so long, I realize I should not have to struggle to read or understand the control panel like I had to with the Bio-Bidet. The Brondell has it all worked out. Things I love:The magnetic control panel for easy return to the wall mount.The water stream options: wider to less so, warmer to cooler, front to backThe self-cleaningThe fan and deodorizingThe soft glow of the night lightThe fabulous warm seatThis is the one!

I know… who wants to talk about bathroom procedures in public? Well, there’s nothing embarrassing about excellent hygiene and personal comfort, and, in fact, there are people around the world who wonder that Americans don’t have bidets installed as a rule. They are helpful for the obvious reasons, and also for people with physical challenges.The old adage, “you get what you pay for” hasn’t gone out of style because it is frequently true. Cheaper versions of certain consumer items may work well enough, especially when we need to save some money, but in some cases, getting the item from a tried and true manufacturer is the best choice. I highly recommend Brondell because that is pretty much all they do—make bidet seats in different price ranges with different features. Having owned other (cheaper) brands, I can say without hesitation that Brondell’s Swash 1000 is excellent. I did extensive research on several brands and models before buying.Yes, the Swash 1000 is expensive, though it is currently on sale ($479 rather than $599), and worth every penny. There are, by the way, some considerably more expensive ones on the market, so the price isn't outrageous for what you get. Brondell also makes less expensive models. The 1000, unlike almost all other types, comes with a 3-year warranty. It also features stainless steel nozzles with self-cleaning and sanitizing functions, a heated seat, adjustable water temp and several customizable settings for personal preference. The remote control has a bracket that can be attached in some convenient nearby location.Installation is not difficult as long as you have a screwdriver, an open adjustable wrench or other suitable tool for loosening couplings, and the ability and wisdom to follow very clearly written and illustrated instructions. The 1000 comes with all the parts you will need unless you happen to have a rigid pipe connection between the water supply and the toilet in which case you MAY need to purchase a flexible water line. Otherwise, all the hardware, washers, etc. are in the box. Another advantage of this unit is its degree of adjustability in terms of placement. A cleverly designed bracket system that attaches directly to the toilet can be moved forward or backward to accommodate different bowl lengths. The entire unit can be easily and quickly removed (pressing one release button) from the brackets to allow for cleaning.If this is something you are seeking, and the price fits your budget, then you won’t be disappointed. Again, there is also the 900 model and I think a 300 model, each with fewer features, but still quality made.
