BrondellSwash 1400 Luxury Bidet Toilet Seat in Elongated White with Dual Stainless-Steel Nozzles and Nanotechnology Nozzle Sterilization| Endless Warm Water | Warm Air Dryer | Nightlight

I bought this bidet after having a miserable experience with 2 BioBidet failures. One that I've had for 9 months and another that I had just bought. So part of this review will be the misery I have had with BioBidet and the utter lack of customer support and part of this review will be about my new purchase of the Brondell Swash 1400-EW. I will start with the Brondell Swash. Let's start with the installation. Due to my recent problems with other bidets I wanted to follow the instructions to the letter. The instructions that come with the bidet say review the installation video on Brondell.com. Search as I may (maybe I'm blind) I could not find an installation video on that website. so, I went to YouTube and found a perfect video made by the owner of Many Bidets. Installation is a snap. Very straightforward. My 9 yo grandson could have done this with no problem. Things I like about the Brondell Swash 1400: ease of installation, the bum spray can be adjusted to hit the target with an adjustable force. The lady parts sprayer works well too! Things I wish were little better about the Brondell: Compared to the BioBidets the Brondell is not as sturdy feeling. Also, the opening is pretty small. I think it would not be a good fit for a man as they have a frontend package that might have trouble fitting in the opening.Now for the BioBidet bashing. The BioBidet Discovery DLS is a very expensive bidet.($899) It is also a very nice bidet. The problem is that there is next to no help if something goes wrong. The first one I had came from a family member that could not transfer this bidet to a boat when they sold their house, so I got it. I don't know how old it was when it suddenly started gushing water from the housing, fortunately I was home when it happened. I called the company but there is not even a way to leave a message. The recording says the fastest way to get help is to send an email to customer service and expect help within 4-5 days. WHAT! 4-5 days to get support for a $900 bidet? I decided to buy a new one as I knew the warranty was not going to help me with this bidet. I bought the new one on Amazon. Hooked it up but it would not respond to the remote commands. Again I emailed the company. After only a few days they sent me a diagram on how to pair the remote to the bidet. Why didn't they send this diagram along with the installation instructions??? Anyway after pairing the bidet with the remote, it would only respond to a few of the commands such as "close the lid" "open the lid" "run the fan" but no actual bum cleaning was forthcoming. Emailed again. A week later I still have not heard back so to hell with BioBidet. I went with the Brondell.In closing let me give anyone looking to buy a bidet some advice. Go take a look at an installation video from Many Bidets and read the comments. The maker of the video gives great advise to anyone who asks for help even though he has not sold them the bidet. I have found after reading several reviews on a variety of companies that customer service is poor wherever you go. You are going to get great customer service with Manybidets.com

...You’ve just returned from doing Your Business and you feel fresh and clean and somehow lighter. Not too far away is a beautiful golden wind-swept wheat field that is dancing in the warmth of a glorious scarlet sunset. It could be your imagination, but it seems to call to you – to welcome you. You willingly oblige.With very little effort, you seem to float off your porch and before too long, you find yourself in the middle of this beautiful field - instantly feeling surrounded by love. Butterflies are frolicking, and a lazy bird circles overhead looking for a place to settle in for the evening. The setting sun feels so nice on your face and you take a moment to take it all in.Just then, you feel the urge to run through the field – to feel the wheat brush up against your body. As your body gains momentum, the wheat seemingly and instinctively parts way for you as if guiding you somewhere wonderful and magical. Your effortless slow-motion stride continues until an intrusive thought pops into your otherwise calm mind: “Did I take my allergy medicine?” Yes, you realize, and just then you come to a comfortable floating stop. You find yourself high atop a bluff overlooking a majestic ocean.Looking to your left and see a lazy staircase that leads you to the beach below and before you know it, you find your feet sinking into the warm sand of the beach. You take all this in – the warmth of the sun, the sound of the ocean, the smell of the mist and with a barely audible song, you notice that same bird in the sky – flying on a pillow of air. Your eyes follow this bird for a while, but eventually give way to scanning the horizon over the ocean. You spot a playful pod of dolphins in the distance and look down to notice that your feet are being softly kissed by the warm ocean water.A light scent of burning wood draws your attention over your left shoulder as your eyes fall on to what seems to be a small bonfire up on a dune. You turn and face this inviting spectacle and decide to draw closer and explore the amber glow. As you approach, your senses turn to the soft crackling of the growing fire – the scent instantly brings you back to your childhood. Closing your eyes, you pause to feel the heat of the fire on your face while simultaneously feeling the warmth of the sunset on the back of your neck. You could stay here forever.You slowly open your eyes only to spot a figure on the other side of the flames. You try to squint to see who it is but can’t seem to get a clear image. As you round the fire and you draw closer to the figure, your body is drenched with a wave of emotion as you realize that somehow – some way – the figure you spot is your long-lost lover.This tsunami of emotion propels you closer to your lover – the lost days, nights, years all seem to melt away as you fall into each other’s arms – becoming one again. The instantaneous passion, comfort, and feeling of joy and security overwhelms all of your senses and you feel more alive than you ever have. Somehow, unconsciously and with extraordinary speed, you find yourselves collapsed and naked on an oversized blanket that is impossibly soft and inviting.Without words, your lovemaking begins. Your senses explode with almost as much passion and force as a thousand nuclear explosions. The smell of the fire, the light mist in the air. The glow of the fire and the remains of a beautiful scarlet sunset. The sand beneath the blanket makes way and forms into a comfortable cradle under the weight of two long lost lovers. As if impossible, your euphoric ecstasy is multiplied even more when your lover descends into your nether regions, hands firmly placed on your hips. Your breath quickens. Your heart races. Your head is thrown back by some primal and instinctual force and nothing else matters in this moment. It feels so…“Um, you missed a spot.”, your lover says as they surface.“What? What do you mean?”“Well, uh, you know. You sorta MISSED a spot.”, the look is clear across their face. The expression is unmistakable.Just then, you realize what that means. Suddenly, your heart feels like it has fallen from your chest, through your back and into the sand beneath you. “How?” you ask yourself over and over and over in your head. The quilting, the ridges, the aloe vera lotion… How could my ultra-plush multi-ply toilet paper have missed a spot? All the wiping. All the wiping!!! For the love of God, all the wiping!!!!!!The world comes crashing down around you. Your lover has retreated in disgust, the bonfire has sent a spark to the wheat field igniting a blaze that burns down hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat crop nearly instantaneously. The pod of dolphin drowns and that annoying bird falls out of the sky only to be eaten by a shark so large it defies reality. Somehow, in your nakedness, you make it up to your knees with your arms stretched up to the sky. “Why? Whyyyyy?”, you scream. But instead of an explication by some omnipotent God, the sky opens up to reveal a torrential downpour, lightning strikes your retreating lover, the bonfire extinguishes (It’s too late for the wheat field…), and you find yourself cold, and in the dark, with an army of giant hungry mutant crabs closing in on you. Your screaming could be heard from miles away – if there were anyone there to hear it.Two points: First of all, the only good that came out of this story is that thanks to the fire, the world was rid of a bunch of horrible gluten. Secondly, there would have been an entirely different ending if you had just used the Brondell Swash 1400 Luxury Bidet Toilet Seat!Seriously, folks, using toilet paper after doing Your Business is like trying to get chunky peanut butter out of shag carpet with ripped sandpaper. You just aren’t going to get it all. There is bound to be leftovers that go unnoticed and this is just not a Good Thing.Buying this seat has changed my life. As a parent of two young children, I have spent the better part of 6 years wiping someone else’s butt. Now I’m happy to have this amazing invention take care of mine for me! The heated seat, the gentle warm mist, the finishing warm air-dry – it takes you away to a world that is reminiscent of the story above. Minus, of course, the carnage at the end!Installation took less time than it took me to write this review, and while the Swash 1400 won’t help you find your long-lost lover, it may just help you to keep them around a little longer once you do!** No birds or dolphins were harmed in the writing of this story which may, or may have not, been based on actual events! **

I ordered this bidet seat a week before my shoulder surgery and it arrived and I installed it a couple days before the surgery. I never realized as a male how much I would need and enjoy the cleanliness that a toilet seat bidet would offer. Of course my wife loves it too. I would have never purchased such an item if I would not have had to have rotator cuff surgery. Not too hard to get the picture here as the surgery was on my dominant shoulder. The toilet seat bidet was my cleanliness lifesaver after the surgery and of course continues to be. You just feel squeaky clean after doing your business. I am a 6ft. Tall 235 pound muscular male and I found the opening of the seat very adequate. Some said it was too small of an opening. My thought was doesn’t the water spray only need to hit the target the size of a quarter……? ok let’s say at the max maybe a silver dollar….Well…..I will stop my imagination from running too wild here, but actually if you would need more surface area coverage the spraying nozzles do oscillate back and forth and spray a wider pattern with more pressure if you press those options. All of those are adjustable and can be programmed for two users.Enjoying the cleanliness of this product there is no way I will any longer be without one. I Almost hate doing my business anywhere else now outside my home unless it’s an absolute necessity. I am a handy guy and installation for me of course wasn’t difficult. For now and couple month ago, and since time was of the essence to install this before my surgery, and since I have no GFCI outlet near the toilet, I ran an 8ft. Heavy duty 10 gauge Extension cord purchased at Big Orange, around the back side of the toilet and vanity and plugged the toilet seat into the bathroom GFCI outlet. The cord is really almost hidden but I will run a dedicated GFCI outlet close to the toilet when able. Of course power needs to be run to the seat for it to function, and also for the heated seat and water. I fastened the remote onto a wall close by and the buttons on the remote can be pressed while the remote stays fastened to the holder. Bottom line my wife and I absolutely love this bidet. We both have the same perspective. At home we will never again be without one.

SAVE THE BOX AND PACKING MATERIAL!First of all, I love the concept and most of the execution of this unit. Note, as with all similar items, you must have an electrical outlet nearby, preferably behind or beside the toilet.I got my first one before having major wrist surgery. The Swash 1400 was a life-saver. Ditto a couple years later when back surgery made it hard for me to just hop into the shower whenever I wanted to clean up.If you have to replace the seat itself (not the lid), the process of disconnecting the seat and installing the new one is not easy. I'm pretty good with technology, but had to watch a few youtube videos to get advice that was easy to comprehend and execute. And I was terrified of breaking any of the plastic pieces.After only a few months, one of the two units failed. The water didn't heat up. Per the manual, it seemed to be overheating and tripping the internal fuse/breaker. Brondell requires you to ship the entire unit back for repair. Even though it was quite new, they didn't replace the entire unit, just the electrical "brain". Removing it, draining it and cleaning to their specifications was not fun. And they threaten that if you don't clean it to *their* satisfaction, they'll tack on an additional cleaning fee.The other unit, which was used by just one person, failed after 5 years. In the meantime, there are other bidet toilet seats that get great reviews and which are less expensive, with new additional features. So I won't repair the old seat. I'll just get a new one.I'm not sure how long one of these things should last. I suppose 5 years isn't bad if there are multiple users.The plastic lid is easily scratched. It isn't flat, so if, for instance, a cat jumps on it and starts to slide off, you'll see a lot of scratch marks. Don't clean with harsh products or scrubbers; you'll ruin the finish.If you want a wider range of reviews, look at Amazon and also online for "best bidet toilet seats" to get comparisons and additional info.

Recently went to Europe and used a Bidet over there and loved it. I have been using wipes for years so this is much better. Set up was fairly easy and remote works well. Please not that the seat opening is kinda small. I am 6’4 about 260lbs so sitting on the small opening is not great but still happy with the purchase.
