We have been using this seat for about 6 weeks and absolutely love it. It makes you wonder how you lived without it, especially when you visit another toilet. I love how much toilet paper we are NOT using anymore as well. It makes me feel good about saving some trees and also offsetting the price of the seat by not purchasing TP nearly as often. Pros: Easy Install - took less than 15 minutes! Amazing Value - tons of features you can't fi... Read More

We have been using this seat for about 6 weeks and absolutely love it. It makes you wonder how you lived without it, especially when you visit another toilet. I love how much toilet paper we are NOT using anymore as well. It makes me feel good about saving some trees and also offsetting the price of the seat by not purchasing TP nearly as often. Pros: Easy Install - took less than 15 minutes! Amazing Value - tons of features you can't find on a seat for this price: heated seat, heated water AND heated drying! Easy to use - features are easy to understand so you can get going right away and guests can use it without explanation. Works Great! - I feel so fresh and clean after each visit. I love the ability to move the spray forward and back to get everything washed away. Reduces toilet paper - Since you are clean and mostly dry, you only need a few squares of TP to pat dry. So much better for the environment and you feel so clean. Cons: The only opportunity for improvement is that a little bit of water spray-back gets on the inside rim of the seat so I will clean this more often to ensure it stays sanitary. Buy one and you will never go back to TP wiping! Read Less

UPDATE: You know all the lint and other dirtiness that accumulates under and around the toilet seat hinges? The design of this bidet seat eliminates that. End of update. I have had this bidet seat for ten days now. I purchased it due to mystery undiagnosed issue that causes me wild irregularity for up to months at a time. I needed something less abrasive than the softest of bathroom tissue. It took a while to justify the purchase, but I am super happy I di... Read More

UPDATE: You know all the lint and other dirtiness that accumulates under and around the toilet seat hinges? The design of this bidet seat eliminates that. End of update. I have had this bidet seat for ten days now. I purchased it due to mystery undiagnosed issue that causes me wild irregularity for up to months at a time. I needed something less abrasive than the softest of bathroom tissue. It took a while to justify the purchase, but I am super happy I did when it was time to replace the cheap toilet seat we had for only a few years. Amazon Prime shipping was fast. Packaging was secure. Installation was quick and simple, but I have replaced several toilet seats, fill valves and supply lines before. It's almost as simple as connecting a garden hose. You will need thread tape and a wrench. It is important to not over tighten the connections, but that's important when installing most anything. The heated toilet seat is crazy awesome, even if it's not cold. My kids love it, too, though they do not get to use the cleaning functions yet. The actual cleaning nozzle retracts when not being used. It flushes itself with a tiny bit of water before and after use, and again when you stand up. The rear cleaning function is very effective. The adjustable temperature, pressure, and position allow me to pinpoint the cleaning. I have the temperature and pressure set fairly low, so there is certainly a setting for each person's personal preference. The water flow begins warm and can finish its cycle without getting cold. The "massage" feature oscillates from side to side for more thorough cleaning, though it seems to have its own pressure settings. Being a man, I have not had opportunity to try the feminine wash cycle myself, but I did test the feature when I completed installation, so I know the nozzle and spray function properly. After cleaning, the warm air is very pleasant to dry. Because of my own hygiene OCD, I personally won't trust any bidet 100%. I have been able to completely eliminate use of flushable wipes and the chemicals on them, as well as reduce toilet paper consumption by up to 75%. A great feature of this one is that you can actually sit on the lid. I checked reviews on many bidet seats before making my decision. Many had complaints that lids were flimsy and broke. Since we sit on the lid to trim toenails, etc, a sturdy lid was a must. The nightlight is very helpful in the middle of the night. You can see the light peeking out from under the seat as you try to locate the toilet, then when you raise the lid, the entire bowl is illuminated, allowing you to aim by sight, not sound. But no technology is perfect. This seat has idiosyncrasies common to all bidet seats: Bidet seats need space for their tanks and retractable nozzles. This reduces the opening at the back of the toilet bowl, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. There can be a little clear water splashed up on the back of the seat, but maybe I need to adjust nozzle position or sit back more. The power cord could be a bit longer. I happened to have outlets on either side of my toilet, so no issues with reach. Warm water tanks have limited size, so you need to allow time for water to heat after a cleaning cycle. These aspects aren't exclusive to this model. They will happen with all bidet seats using tanks, etc. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my decision to purchase a bidet seat. Finding such a nice one at a very reasonable price was icing on the cake. One suggestion I would make is that they include a small roll of thread tape with the seat. It's super cheap and would potentially eliminate a run to local hardware or box store. Read Less

Installation was a little rough since we had trouble getting it to slide back into place on our toilet. Added an outlet next to the toilet. After that it was smooth sailing. The buttons are self explanatory and everything seems to work as it should. I can't imaging using the bidet on anything other than full power, and the left and right buttons don't seem to move the water stream very far in either direction. The heated seat feature seems to be too much for the summer, but should be really nice... Read More

Installation was a little rough since we had trouble getting it to slide back into place on our toilet. Added an outlet next to the toilet. After that it was smooth sailing. The buttons are self explanatory and everything seems to work as it should. I can't imaging using the bidet on anything other than full power, and the left and right buttons don't seem to move the water stream very far in either direction. The heated seat feature seems to be too much for the summer, but should be really nice this winter. Also the "front" button does not really direct the water stream very far forward, as you might expect; but it does cause the water to be "shot" in two different directions, i.e., straight up, and toward the back. It doesn't take long to get used to how the item works, and I do use this product about once a day on average. The bidet seems to be well constructed, and I would purchase it again, and recommend it to a friend.  Read Less

I bought a second Brondell SE400 and I'm updating this review. The original review is below. The thing pays for itself with the savings of toilet paper. I'd use 7 tufts before; now I use one to dry myself. I no longer use the water heating feature. I live in the tropics. I don't use the night light. It's overwhelming in my small house. I don't use the fan because it reminds me of my failed attempt to play the flute. (kidding) I don't like the air blowing across my *** to fill the room with what... Read More

I bought a second Brondell SE400 and I'm updating this review. The original review is below. The thing pays for itself with the savings of toilet paper. I'd use 7 tufts before; now I use one to dry myself. I no longer use the water heating feature. I live in the tropics. I don't use the night light. It's overwhelming in my small house. I don't use the fan because it reminds me of my failed attempt to play the flute. (kidding) I don't like the air blowing across my *** to fill the room with what I'm breathing. For me, those 3 features can go away, but I still bought a second one... and there are cheaper ones out there. I like that it has timed squirts, that you can adjust pressure and aim and it's well built. First review ahead -----> (Man, 6'0, 215 pounds) Boy, this is a game changer! I had some stupid stigma in my mind about bidets that took one trip to a resort at Hapuna Beach to change. Also, with that ignorance, it should be explained thoroughly that the cleaning water DOESN'T come from the toilet. It comes from the fresh water supply from the house. (My wife wouldn't use it until I explained that.) Installation: Super easy. You need to know that the elbow side of the hose attaches to the seat and the T connector fastens to the tank fitting, not the wall fitting. I did not use teflon tape. That's about it except the seat adapter to attach to the bowl. Anyone with half a brain can look at it and figure it out. But read the instructions. You'll learn how to get the most out of using your new bidet. Use: I have the volume up to 11. I want as much water coming out as possible. Just guessing, it's like 6 squirt guns and not a hose. The water temp is set to medium and it runs out of warm water about half way through. That's fine here in Hawaii but maybe not for Alaska?! I've been going through 2 cycles of water because one wasn't quite doing the job. Other settings might heat enough water for the entire cycle. I don't know. One cycle on the fan almost dries good enough to call it a job complete but I use a wad of TP anyway do assure that it is indeed complete. With one cycle sometimes it's not. Night light: Really pretty blue but we have it turned off. It's too much for our little bathroom. I think a better feature would be to have the operation buttons lit up. At least the main ones, F for front, R for rear, V for volume and T for temp. Hot sauce: I LOVE IT! to a fault, but it's time to say goodbye to blood and Vaseline. Frankly, as you see I can be, that's the only reason I bought this but I'm using it every time. I feel cheated when I have to use the regular toilet in our guest bathroom, and way less clean. Bottom (haha) line: You see the short comings that I've found but if I could magically change my order to something else that I've researched, I'd buy this exact one again. I actually look forward to going now. Read Less
