Brondell Swash 1400 Bidet Toilet Seat

I bought this item when it was on sale for a much better price than usual. I thought since it was normally so expensive it would be a really good purchase. Sadly, if i could return it, I would. ---- Pros: Does warm the water and seat nicely. Has a memory function for 2 users, which, when it works correctly, is good. The wireless remote works great. It feels like it's an RF remote, even though its just IR. Multiple options. So many that the remote could use more lights... Cons: First, the... Read More

I bought this item when it was on sale for a much better price than usual. I thought since it was normally so expensive it would be a really good purchase. Sadly, if i could return it, I would. ---- Pros: Does warm the water and seat nicely. Has a memory function for 2 users, which, when it works correctly, is good. The wireless remote works great. It feels like it's an RF remote, even though its just IR. Multiple options. So many that the remote could use more lights... Cons: First, the seat is massive, however the actual size of the area you can sit on drastically reduces the available sitting area. Sitting all the way back, I feel like I am sitting on a old style toilet (not the elongated style I have). The seat also curves Up towards the back (see picture). My wife HATES this. I find it not as comfortable, but can tolerate it. The nightlight is nice and bright, but it has only a "off or on" setting. My wife yells at me when i leave the lid up as she cant sleep from how bright the light is. It would be nice to be able to lower the light so it's enough to see in the middle of the night, but not so bright that it wakes you up when you see it. It would also be nice if it had some form of alight sensor to be able to turn the night light off if you turn on the bathroom light, or it senses daylight (so it's not on 24/7). When setting the stream to wide, it feels like there is almost no pressure at all. The remote shares a lot of setting across buttons so it can be hard to tell what setting something is at (other than water temp and spray width which have lights to tell you what its set to). This can be annoying as the remote doesn't seem to always remember a setting i set it to, or it remembers something my wife changed to to, without me programing it into the user setting. It also wont remember if you like the nozzle to oscillate every time. I also have to adjust the nozzle distance EVERY time. its never in the right place... The cleaning job is only OK. I often still have a small amount of residue to wipe... Dryer works, but always has to run for 4 minutes to get me 75% dry. I haven't ever bothered to run it more than twice as I already spend 6 minutes for the wash and 2 drys. Using this unit sacrifices a lot of time to save TP... Drying system seems to either draw the air from inside the bowl, or just moves the air around in the bowl so much that it can be REALLY unbearable (smell wise). I suggest you flush before you dry (unless your toilet is like mine with the flush in the middle of the tank which is VERY hard to flush while sitting). I had to buy a 4" hose extender for this to install on my Toto dual flush toilet as the adapter included is supposed to screw to the tank, however my toilet has a major surround around where the tank meets the bowl so it would have never been able to be installed at the tank. Because of the requirement to get an extension, i ended up installing this seat long after the return policy. If I had been able to install it and test it right away I would have gotten my money back. They need to make the splitter attach at the wall... The top lid is... HUGE. When it is in the up position it sticks above the top of my tank by 8ish inches. Since my toilet is a dual flush with the button in the top center of the tank, this makes flushing more difficult. ---- Final thoughts: If you have money to burn, this isn't a bad unit. It's just not worth the cost for the issues and shortcomings it has.  Read Less

I purchased a bidetsPLUS 1400, it is different from what I have been accustomed to, but it does everything that they advertise. Remote control, warm water, heated seat, wash and dry. Blue light that’s lite all the time, the lid closes slowly when you give a little push on it. I wanted round and in beige or almond, not white, this was the only bidet seat that had that feature. I saw others that said no more paper, I do not agree, my opinion you still need to use paper, maybe not as much, but it i... Read More

I saw others that said no more paper, I do not agree, my opinion you still need to use paper, maybe not as much, but it is not paper free. I had to have an electrician install a plug so it had power. It is a bit expensive but I guess you only get what you pay for. I think it is an individual choice what you are looking for and what your willing to pay. Over all the seat does what they advertise.  Read Less
