Go to the Brondell website to compare their various models before choosing. There you'll find much better descriptions. I'm replacing my 5 year old Swash 300. Though it was disappointing that it failed in 5 short years, I chose to replace it with another Brondell as I thought at least I wouldn't have to replace the mounting hardware... Not!

Go to the Brondell website to compare their various models before choosing. There you'll find much better descriptions. I'm replacing my 5 year old Swash 300. Though it was disappointing that it failed in 5 short years, I chose to replace it with another Brondell as I thought at least I wouldn't have to replace the mounting hardware... Not! Here are the differences between my old 300 and this new one as I see them: The LE99 is thicker and more comfortable than my old 300. It makes my "comfort height" Toto Aquia darn near a bar stool! (I exaggerate). But for me, that's a good thing. Another positive is the "Programmable User" feature. Other differences I like are: Adjustable nozzle position, oscillating nozzle and "ECO" features. The only negative is the remote's buttons are flush, not like the raised blister buttons on the old 300's controller. Therefore I can't work them in the dark anymore. I carry a tiny flashlight at night rather that turn on the room light. The blue night light in the bowl is no help when you're sitting on it! And the blue light is apparently just that, a night light, albeit pretty cool looking. It's not, from what I've learned, an ultra-violet sanitizer; drat. Since blue light quenches ones night vision (more than would red light) as well as any melatonin, and I'd like to not wake up any more than necessary on my frequent night trips, I never turn it on. I don't use the seat warmer either, and I've found the air dryer to be way too slow to be useful. So I could have saved a few bucks had I taken my own advice and gone to the Brondell website first. But in the end, I'm pleased with my purchase and would recommend a Brondell to my friends. I strongly recommend a bidet for elderly or physically challenged folks like myself. Well, for anybody actually!  Read Less
