Goldilocks!!! Finally found the perfect bidet seat. I purchased a Smartwhale Bidet for my master bath and I dislike the beeping every time u sit down and stand up. Who wants to hear that in the middle of the night?! So I tried a Kohler bidet thinking it would be worth the price; but it had an auto sprayer as soon as you sat down. And you have to turn off immediately so you don’t get splashed. Why?! Both features on both items can not be manually turned off permanently. I switched back to the... Read More

Goldilocks!!! Finally found the perfect bidet seat. I purchased a Smartwhale Bidet for my master bath and I dislike the beeping every time u sit down and stand up. Who wants to hear that in the middle of the night?! So I tried a Kohler bidet thinking it would be worth the price; but it had an auto sprayer as soon as you sat down. And you have to turn off immediately so you don’t get splashed. Why?! Both features on both items can not be manually turned off permanently. I switched back to the beeping seat. Lesser of two evils. So I took a chance with this product for my daughter’s bathroom (test it on her first 🤭), and she LOVES it. Finally found the one that is perfect. No automatic anything. Matter of fact, the bidet sprayer doesn’t work unless it has skin contact. If you sit down with clothing on, it won’t work. Nice sleek look. Fits perfectly on the elongated bowl, not like others. You can control everything with the remote or side panel. You can even turn off the night light. Some seats won’t allow. Since she will be the only person using the seat, I am sure the carbon filter will not be as overwhelming as I read from other reviews. The remote buttons are intuitive and slightly raised to allow easier sensory control and backlighting (once you touch) for easy visuals at night. She loves the heated seat and everything else about this product. And yes, I plan to purchase another to replace my ridiculous beeping seat. Highly recommend! Read Less

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... Read More

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! Read Less

I am very impressed with my Swash 1000. Installation was easy. All necessary connecting parts were included, and they were all high quality. The seat is attractive, strong and comfortable. The remote controller is a convenient size and well laid out - easy to understand and to operate. The bidet seat is installed in my personal WC and my wife has not tried it despite my encouragement. So this review is from a male perspective only (the 'forward' wash has yet to be used).... Read More

So this review is from a male perspective only (the 'forward' wash has yet to be used). In short this bidet seat is excellent. Buy one! You won't regret it. I have two very small negatives: the wide spray setting could be a wee bit wider, and using the forward/backward 'Move' function gives only minuscule movement. Other than that, this thing is darn near perfect. If my wife ever gets on the pot, I'll get one for her bathroom too. 🙄 Read Less

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 t... Read More

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 back The self-cleaning The fan and deodorizing The soft glow of the night light The fabulous warm seat This is the one!

Oh my goodness gracious me, you HAVE to get one of these to lead a normal life again. My story: I suffer with diverticulitis, meaning it doesn't matter what I eat, most evenings after dinner I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. This, of course, leads to more pain and a soreness that cannot be described, not even moist wipes provided relief. I bit the bullet and purchased this product and am slapping myself for not ordering this years ago. I use all the functions and have to say it is the... Read More

Oh my goodness gracious me, you HAVE to get one of these to lead a normal life again. My story: I suffer with diverticulitis, meaning it doesn't matter what I eat, most evenings after dinner I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. This, of course, leads to more pain and a soreness that cannot be described, not even moist wipes provided relief. I bit the bullet and purchased this product and am slapping myself for not ordering this years ago. I use all the functions and have to say it is the best thing since sliced bread :) The knowledge that I walk away thoroughly cleaned and dry without any friction complications is worth every cent of the price. I cannot recommend this strongly enough to those with rear end problems and even those without any problems. It will enhance your life 100% believe me. Technically wise it was very easy to install. I didn't need any help from my sons. The only problem I have now is keeping them out of my bathroom as they are wanting me to purchase one for their bathroom! As you may have guessed by the above, I am extremely happy with my purchase. Get one! You'll not regret it :) Read Less

They say to not cheap out on anything that connects you to the ground. E.G. Shoes / Tires / Bed, and in my opinion, bidet. I would consider myself something of a bidet enthusiast since making the switch about 7 years ago. It's one of the few quality of life changes I've made that I feel like has had the largest impact for the lowest cost of entry. As for the S1400-EW I can attest that it is quite the upgrade from my first model, being a $20 Amazon special (Luxe Neo 120) that... Read More

They say to not cheap out on anything that connects you to the ground. E.G. Shoes / Tires / Bed, and in my opinion, bidet. I would consider myself something of a bidet enthusiast since making the switch about 7 years ago. It's one of the few quality of life changes I've made that I feel like has had the largest impact for the lowest cost of entry. As for the S1400-EW I can attest that it is quite the upgrade from my first model, being a $20 Amazon special (Luxe Neo 120) that was basically a rectal sandblaster, to the first electric seat (my directly previous bidet) that cost around $200 (S300-EW). Feature wise I will advise that if I read correctly the heating element in this model is based on ceramic heating which is much faster at heating the water, but also has a stronger energy pull than the S300-EW and if like me, you happen to have touchy GFCI breakers this can cause a little house on the prairie style BM in the dark. That aside, the other functions work quite well and the nozzle adjustment, water pressure, and user settings are all very easy to navigate and work great. The night light works great for those half blind 2am calls of nature. The blow dryer is quite nice and gets VERY warm if you have it set to max heat. I will advise to FLUSH BEFORE YOU USE IT otherwise the smell you will generate by using it is not something you will want to talk about. All in all very happy with the upgrade even if I have been just using it on cold while I get my breaker situation figured out. 10/10 Read Less

I have wanted a bidet for years but thought you had to have one that was like a toilet (as in Europe). Turns out these add-no’s work very well on a regular toilet! If you have any GI difficulties, I would say these are a must-have! They actually do clean well, much better than just toilet paper. I got the fancy one that has warm water and warm air, and I’d say it was well worth it. The remote control makes it very easy to adjust things. I put mine on the wall at hand level.

I have wanted a bidet for years but thought you had to have one that was like a toilet (as in Europe). Turns out these add-no’s work very well on a regular toilet! If you have any GI difficulties, I would say these are a must-have! They actually do clean well, much better than just toilet paper. I got the fancy one that has warm water and warm air, and I’d say it was well worth it. The remote control makes it very easy to adjust things. I put mine on the wall at hand level. I’m guessing it would be very hard to adjust if you had to try to bend down to see the non-remote controls. As for the installation, my son installed mine. He is very handy, and it took him at least an hour. If you think it’s beyond your talents, just face facts and get someone to do it for you. I’ve had no problems with leaks or instability at all. Rarely, the remote gets confused and doesn’t do what you asked, but so far it’s not much of a problem. These were reviewed in Consumer Reports, and they came out first (both brand and model), so that made the decision for me. The other ones tested came out well also, so maybe they’re good too. It does bother me a bit that they caution you not to use strong cleansers. After all, this item probably poses the biggest hygiene requirement in your home. Also, I find it hard to believe that their “sterilization” process does what it claims. The little and gentle streams of water come out the same nozzles that the body-use ones provide. They claim that silver does the disinfecting, but I doubt that it does much. ( Would like to see their data on this!) The seat is comfy, but if you put the lid down and try to sit on it like a regular toilet, it feels unstable and is slightly slanted forward so that you slide forward. Just don’t try to use it as a chair! The air drying, even with heated air, does not dry you completely so you need to complete that process on your own. All in all, I would highly recommend this item and am delighted that I finally got it! Highly recommended! Read Less
