Brondell Swash SE400 Toilet Seat with Swing Spout Stainless Steel for Hot Air Dryer White

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.

* Easy to install; I'm a klutzy, impractical computer geek with poor motor skills and complete lack of comprehension of all things plumbing and house related. But I had it up in 15 minutes easily and safely. (Note you'll need to figure out / plan an extension cord).* Clear instructions* Heated seat makes bigger difference than anticipated. I now hate going anywhere but home for that advantage alone! It's so cushy on our tushy :-)* The bidet part also works great, and far better than anticipated for the price and ease. The water comes out warm, with numerous settings to shape, spread, temperature, and intensity.* Remote control is solid, robust, intuitive, and with great mounting bracket and magnetic hold.* I like it, but my wife LOVES it. She initially thought it'd be weird and uncomfortable but after a few tries, I don't think I've ever done or purchased anything that brings her this much continued joy and happiness (all through the month *cough cough*)Overall a great purchase. It's been reliable so far, if it ever fails, we're purchasing another one immediately and paying express shipping - no reason to live without it ever again :)

Lo recomiendo. Muy confortable y más higiénico ese producto me da mucha satisfacción. El calor del agua y la presión son dos cosas muy importantes por la higiene y ese producto lo da. También hay la luz azul que me gusta mucho por la noche.

I’ve been using the swash for about 2 weeks now. The installation took 15 minutes and had no issues whatsoever. Overall built quality is pretty good for this pricepoint. Works very well and has all the features you need/want; moat of which are only available on more expensive bidets. The dry feature is nice, but the fan isn’t the strongest so you have to either run it multiple times or use another means to fully dry. Other than that I’m pretty happy with it and would recommend.

# Brondell SE400-EW ReviewThe Brondell SE400-EW is the best thing to happen to personal hygiene since somebody looked at a roll of leaves and said, "There has to be a better way."For Europeans, this review may seem completely unnecessary because bidets are as normal to them as refrigerators. For Americans, however, the bidet is still viewed with a level of suspicion usually reserved for tax audits, extended car warranties, and any food that claims to be healthy while tasting good.I'll admit it: the idea of a machine shooting warm water at the emergency exit wasn't exactly at the top of my wish list. There is a brief moment when you question every decision that led you to this point. Then the warm seat kicks in, the water is heated to a civilized temperature, and suddenly you're wondering how you've spent decades living like a medieval peasant aggressively rubbing tree products against your problems and hoping for the best.This thing has more buttons than a B-rated space movie. There are controls for water pressure, water temperature, nozzle position, spray patterns, drying, and enough settings that I was briefly concerned I was programming a small submarine. Yet somehow it all makes sense.The heated seat alone is enough to make you question your commitment to every other toilet in your house. Then the warm water starts, and you realize toilet paper has been doing a mediocre job all along. If a bird pooped on your arm, you wouldn't wipe it off with a dry paper towel and call it clean. Yet somehow, as a society, we've accepted that logic in one very specific area of life.The Brondell doesn't just clean you—it restores your faith in modern engineering. Somewhere, a team of engineers dedicated part of their careers to making sure your backside receives the luxury treatment, and frankly, they deserve more recognition.I used to think bidets were a weird European thing. Now I think not having one is a weird American thing.And let's not forget the Great Toilet Paper Apocalypse of 2020.While everyone else was panic-buying enough toilet paper to mummify a small nation, bidet owners were sitting back with the confidence of people who had accidentally prepared for the end times.Who knows when the next toilet paper shortage will happen? The supply chain could collapse tomorrow. Aliens could invade. Another cargo ship could get sideways in a canal. I don't know. What I do know is that I am not using whatever rolls are left on the shelf after everything decent has already been hoarded.If you've ever seen the last remaining package of toilet paper at a grocery store during a shortage, you know it's not the good stuff. It's the emergency one-ply that feels less like toilet paper and more like a written warning from the manufacturer.The Brondell SE400-EW isn't just a luxury item. It's an investment in comfort, cleanliness, and surviving future toilet paper-related societal collapse.Five stars.My toilet has a heated seat, warm water, a remote control, customizable wash settings, and enough buttons to qualify as consumer electronics. Meanwhile, I still own appliances that are less technologically advanced than this toilet seat.The Europeans were right about this one. They were also right about Jaguars before the company went insane, Mercedes, Jeremy Clarkson, and bidets—but that's about all the credit I'm willing to give them.If civilization collapses tomorrow, I'll be one of the cleanest people in the wasteland.
