I’m loving the Swash 1400 bidet toilet seat! I thought it would be complicated to use after reading the book, but reading the book prepared me to use the remote with complete understanding and success. I love all the variations available. Different seat temps, water temps, as well as pressure and width all serve their purpose in different situations. I love the position options and the moving choice. I thought I would not use the deodorizer because I dislike artificial, perfumey smells. I was th... Read More

I’m loving the Swash 1400 bidet toilet seat! I thought it would be complicated to use after reading the book, but reading the book prepared me to use the remote with complete understanding and success. I love all the variations available. Different seat temps, water temps, as well as pressure and width all serve their purpose in different situations. I love the position options and the moving choice. I thought I would not use the deodorizer because I dislike artificial, perfumey smells. I was thrilled to learn that the technology in the deodorizer takes care of some smells without adding others. I love the sterilizer and use it a lot. It was easy to install. The most fun part is warning guests about the “hello” they will hear from the weird looking toilet seat as soon as skin makes contact with it. If you have a large bathroom, I would recommend getting an elongated toilet and an elongated bidet seat. Our bathroom is tiny and we are small people so the round version works for us, but I can see where it might be a challenge for some people. Five stars from me!  Read Less

Bad headline pun aside, we're happy with our purchase so far. It's installed in a half bath where a true bidet installation wasn't an option--now I'm thankful it wasn't. Overall, the Brondell Swash 1400 bidet seat is much better an actual bidet. The heated seat, stainless steel wands, integrated nightlight, back and forth spray option, rear or front spray option, sterilization, immediate warm water, dryer and air deodorizer filter, etc. make for a wonderful experience. The step-by-step installat... Read More

The heated seat, stainless steel wands, integrated nightlight, back and forth spray option, rear or front spray option, sterilization, immediate warm water, dryer and air deodorizer filter, etc. make for a wonderful experience. The step-by-step installation video on Bidetsplus.com was reassuring and helpful. The install took less time than expected and was very easy. We recommend the Swash 1400 without reservation. We purchased the inline water filter even though we have a Kinetico water softener system. The claim is that the Swash 1400 and its heater will last longer by installing it. Since the filters cost so little for the benefit they provide, it makes sense to add this to your cart. At first, we felt a slight rise in the back of the seat, but we don't really notice it now. One possible future upgrade: It would be nice to have a dimmer on the blue night light.  Read Less

I am a professor and as part of my research and teaching duties, I have visited many countries such as Italy, England, France, Germany, Holland, Japan, Korea and India very often, attending conferences, conducting research campaigns and delivering invited seminars at universities.

I am a professor and as part of my research and teaching duties, I have visited many countries such as Italy, England, France, Germany, Holland, Japan, Korea and India very often, attending conferences, conducting research campaigns and delivering invited seminars at universities. In the year 2000, I visited Japan with my family and at that time, these Bidet-type toilets were just being introduced. In the Orient and in Europe, it is normal to use water for cleansing and not toilet paper, since it is regarded as more hygienic. Now you can find such toilets almost everywhere in japan. Anyway, we decided that we would get these Japanese toilets for our home. Unfortunately, there were no nearby electrical outlets and the expense of installing them and the Japanese toilets themselves made us wait. But this year, we had a new house built for us and we made sure all bath rooms have electrical outlets near the toilet. Then we looked around for a suitable unit. This product fit our needs best. It was relatively inexpensive and very easy to install myself. It has all the features we wanted, especially sterilization, except perhaps automatic lid closing. It is closest to what I find in four and five star hotels in Japan during my visits. It has the additional convenience of a remote unit to operate the toilet (Japanese toilets have this built into the side of the toilet and it is often quite awkward to bend, read and push appropriate buttons). We also bought a unit for our sons' new house as well. It has been a month now and so far so good. The units look classy and have worked very well. I don't think we will ever go back to using toilet paper! Good, relatively inexpensive product worth having.  Read Less
