SE400-EW Swash SE400 Electric Bidet Toilet Seat With Heated Seat, Oscillating Stainless Steel Nozzle, Warm Air Dryer, Night Light, Gentle Close Lid, White Side Arm Control, Elongated

Let me start with my reluctance to write this .... Because as soon as I am done ... Something will go wrong .... That being said .... This has been the best purchase I have ever made . I have had it for 6 months now and it has worked flawlessly ... My wife and I love it. The seat warmer for starter is a very pleasant and comfortable warmth on those cold days .... Feels cozy .... Also the warm water spay is very nice ... The water cools after a short bit ... But that is no issue for us ... The side controls are fairly easy to access although you need to move some to see them ... Again .... No issue .... Although some have complained about the fan ... We both like it .... True ... It wont dry you completely .... But it does remove some moisture ... No issue ..... We also love the LED light .... Makes it easy to see at night without having to turn on lights and disturbing your spouse .... Installation was relatively easy ... You need an electrical outlet near the toilet ... I had one installed .... I also installed a filter (Which is highly recommended) .... Please use caution not to over tighten the nuts when installing and make sure washers are in the nut correctly before tightening .... Since purchasing this Item in October, We have no need to use much toilet paper .... We use significantly less toilet paper (And we all know how things have been trying to get TP these days) ... and We both feel so much cleaner than ever .... A HUGE PLUS !!!!! I research for months before my purchase and the Brondell Swash SE400 Seat was the one that fit all our needs.... For the cost and and benefits .... It has at this time been perfect .... Measure your toilet to make sure you get the right item .... But at this time ... I would HIGHLY recommend this toilet ... Don't skimp on getting cheaper .... Your Tush deserves the best ... and your spouse will love you too I haven't had any need at this time to deal with customer service ... so cant comment on them ... This toilet has worked without a problem at of the date of this comment .... Crossing fingers .... Good Luck on your success if you buy

After a trip to Japan, I learned that the bidet is a great invention. Once you get past the American attitude that it is better to smear stuff with dry paper than wash dirty items with water (which we do for absolutely everything else), the bidet makes the most sense in the world. Why pay for endless supplies of wet wipes which actually clog up sewage systems (they do not biodegrade well at all and are becoming an issue). I have round toilets and I do think the elongated would be a better general choice. The back of the bidet pushes the seat out a bit making the round toilet a bit smaller. My guess would be the elongated toilet become more similar to a round toilet once the the bidet is installed. It is not a deal breaker but something I noticed. Regarding the install of the bidet it is easy. Getting electric to the bathroom can be a bit more of a struggle if you want it to look good and you will need some electrical experience. Both of the walls behind my bathroom happened to have power in the walls through outlets. I just tapped into those outlets on the other side of the wall and pulled a short amount of electrical wiring to the area of the toilet. Then added a water proof GFCI. The only other thing is if you happen to have those very hard pvc toilet lines, you will probably need to swap it for the better flexible PVC or metal lines. They are only about 5 dollars at your local hardware store, so not a big expense. The GFCI with wire and electrical box will run you 30 or so, so there is that also. As for use, I have generally been very pleased. So pleased that I added a second one to the guest room. Guests are initially questioning but everyone who has used it as said they would love one in their home. The water pressure is great and you feel far cleaner than using paper (though you will likely use a little paper to get fully dry - the dry feature is great for getting a little water off but doesn't have enough power to get you fully dry). The buttons are all labeled clearly though the "massage" button is somewhat unclear to me as to what it does. The one complaint I could foresee is that the amount of warm water does seem a bit low. For me, it is generally fine but sometimes you will notice it running low and the water become colder. This is not enough of an issue to be a deal breaker. If you think it would be for you, I believe the model above this one does have instant hot water generation on demand, so I guess that problem would go away. For me, it is fine. Once the hot water is done, it seems to reheat pretty quickly so you or your next guest would get the full maybe 20-40 seconds of warm water most likely. To feel clean is great. Seems like such a basic thing but toilet paper is just awful once you get used to a bidet. The only thing that has not been great is knowing in public restrooms you lose this option :-( These are everywhere in Japan and you really get used to not using paper. One of my favorite personal item purchases in a long time.

We have now had the bidet seat for about 3 weeks and feel we can fairly evaluate it now. As this is our first bidet seat we do not have anything to compare it to. Installation: a piece of cake. Took under 10 minutes. If I wasn't being so cautious it would only take 5. We are lucky enough that the toilet has an electrical outlet nearby. If you do not make sure you figure out where you are getting power from prior to ordering. Initial Impression: Where has this thing been my whole life! Much cleaner without the use of paper. A nice warm seat. What more could one ask for. Now specifically to this seat the heated seat gets plenty warm. My wife sometimes puts it on high and if she doesn't set it back to medium my daughter or myself think we are on a frying pan. Not in a bad way- just know you have plenty of heat there. Similarly the water temperature is fine on medium. On high we all think it is to hot...well except for the wife. So there is plenty of adjustment available. Water pressure and angle: plenty of adjustment and easy to use. Once you find your sweet spot each person knows where to set it for themselves. A few weeks in: Initial impression stands. Great product. Quality seems great and shows no signs of any issues. One item that I want to highlight is not an issue but people should know. The seat has a safety sensor to detect when someone sits in it. That way a person can't press a button and have water flying while not sitting. Great idea. I wager it is set to 50 pounds. Well my 7 year old is small and is maybe 51 pounds. If she doesn't sit exactly right she doesn't set the sensor off and the buttons don't work. Since she is old enough and loves this thing there are directions to turn the safety off. It was as simple as holding a button while plugging it in. Will certainly be looking at getting another of these in the future.

I bought the Brondell Swash SE400 for a second bathroom which we hardly use. In the master bath, I used to have a Biobidet 1000 and now have a Biobidet 600. The Biobidet 1000 has many fancy functions and we got great service. However, we used only a few of the functions and I didn't like having a separate remote control which tended to break down fairly often. After many years, the Biobidet 1000 shorted out and, rather than fix it, we decided to replace it with the Biobidet 600. We got a great deal on Amazon on this simplified model and we are so very happy with it. It still has every function you would ever need. In shopping for a third bidet, the Biobidet 600 has increased in price and we couldn't get a great deal so we got the Brondell Swash. It's a fine bidet but not as good as the Biobidet in two respects. The first is that the water stream is a bit less forceful although it gets the job done. The second is that the water temperature does not stay warm as long as with the Biobidets. With the water temperature on the highest setting, the Brondell water is warm for 20 seconds, cool in 40 seconds and a little colder at 55 seconds. With water on the highest setting for the Biobidet 600, the water stays warm for 52 seconds. Now, this is a minor thing and both bidets work well and get the job done comfortably. The Biobidet just has warmer water for longer. However, the cooler water of the Brondell is not so cold that it's objectionable and we never use the full minute of water spray anyway because the bidets clean us in 30 seconds or less. The Brondell is a fine bidet for the money and you won't regret your purchase.

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.

I spent a lot of time researching brands, prices, features ease of installation and just about every detail I could think of, and this model summed up to be the best value for the money and the one will all the features your would want without necessarily spending top dollar for another model made by the same manufacturer. I debated whether if the remote was something that would help, and now that I have been using this one, I am actually glad I did not get one that used a remote as they have a tendency of never being where they are are supposed to be; or you would think they should be. I have a hard eneough time keeping track of the TV's remote, and somehow, under these circumstances, I thought it would not be the best time to find the remote is not where it should be. Nevermind that it becomes something else that can break and adds to the price of the bidet without really justifying any added value that would be comparable. Again, it's not a TV we adealing with here. Ay to the unit itself, get ready to feel like you have died and gone straight to Heaven. It was extremely simple to install and learn how to operate. If you have grandchildren, at least thus far, they would rather sit on the toilet than play video games. They would also be another reason why a remote would not be a good idea. I am certain it will not be a sustainable source of entertainment as a Nintendo might be, but it certainly has been a hit with them. As it has been for my wife and I. The only thing I reccomend, is that you have a power outlet nearby that is GFI protected. I know of people that have 10 foot extension cords dragging across the bathroom as in most cases, there are no outlets installed anywhere near a toilet and particularly, if the toilet is in a self enclosed area of a master bathroom as ours is. I hired an electrician to run a GFI protected outlet and paid less than $100.00 to have it done. Since our bathroom uses GFI breakers in the main breaker box, it was an easy installation with the hardest part being cutting the hole on tile wall where the outlet was placed. Even so, it was a reasonable expense and one that allowed for a clean installation. Including the drive to my local DIY store to purcahse a longer steel braided water supply line, it maybe took me a couple of hours to complete the installation and have now enjoyed it for quite some time. It really is very efficient and effective. I will likely be installing them in each bathroom in the I spent a lot of time researching brands, prices, features ease of installation and just about every detail I could think of, and this model summed up to be the best value for the money and the one will all the features you would want without necessarily spending top dollar for another model made by the same manufacturer. I hired an electrician to run a GFI protected outlet and paid less than $100.00 to have it done. Since our bathroom uses its GFI breakers in the main breaker box, it was an easy installation. The hardest part was cutting a hole on the granite tile used on the bathroom walls. Even so, it was a reasonable expense and one that allowed for a clean installation. I had experienced something similar on a trip to Japan where they had a complete toilet in the hotel we stayed, that would have likely bested this seat. However, I found it difficult to justify the $1,400.00 that would have ended up costing to have the entire toilet replaced... For a fraction of the price, I do not really remember anything that stood out on the complete toilet I experienced in Japan, versus this particular seat assembly. Especially, if you own a decent toilet already. I would surmise that if you are considering using one on a smaller round toilet, you might find it a bit cramped.

Well, here I am 4 months later and the issues have returned. It is dripping water continuously after a flush. The tank is not refilling appropriately and the water comes out cold. Concerned that the problems could happen again, I saved the box from the warranty repair return, just in case. Theoretically, my replacement parts are still under warranty. However, I'm not sure it's worth all the hassle involved. How many times to I want to go through this? Will I just throw away my $300? I'm still trying to decide. I certainly cannot recommend this product. ================================================ After several more weeks with the issues in my first review, I filed a warranty claim, which they honored. They paid for shipping both ways and turned around the repair in about 10 days. They replaced all of the major components, on which they have a fresh, full year's warranty. A month after getting back it has continued to perform up to spec, with none of the previous issues. Now that it functions as it should, I have to say it is a good product and worth the price. Manufacturers of good products can have a bad day, and if they stand by their warranty and treat customers right, they deserve credit. Brondell has earned this upgraded review. --------------------------------------- Early on, at least once a week I came home from work to find the bidet was steadily dripping water. Some drips are to be expected after use, but they usually subside quickly - just not always. Drips add up, and depending on what you pay for water, you could notice the cost if frequently uncaught. I make it point to check on it now. On others occasions, it has positively streamed out. That is always obvious at the time and can be stopped (as can the drips) by running another wash cycle and, so far, it has always stopped when I ended the 2nd cycle. (see attached) A warm water wash does not last for a full wash cycle, even with the water pressure at its lowest setting and temperature at the hottest. (The highest water pressure is not very high, but even the lowest setting is *usually* adequate.) I concluded that the reservoir was a bit too small and since a full cycle is not *usually* required I was prepared to live with it. Still, it was disappointing that a full cycle lost warmth before the end of the cycle. I was informed this is to be expected, depending on the water temperature supplying the unit. Tap water is pretty universally 68' and I don't know anyone with hot water service running to their toilet. Be prepared to sometimes finish with tepid water. The oscillation feature sounds better than it is. A slightly wider pattern would be better. I quit using it. On the upside, the build quality is solid. The warm air dryer works pretty well, though be prepared to sit there for a while. The seat heater is very good, the highest setting being too warm for Texas - I can get by on the lowest setting here. I appreciate the stainless steel nozzle, and the after-action nozzle cleaning is good. Is it worth it? I don't like having to look out for the drip issue. The stream is a rare event and easily caught, but still... Dealing with either of them is a hassle I don't need when I'm getting ready for work. I wish I had spent more for a bidet with continuous warm water, and no worries about continuous drips after the fact. If you are already stretching your budget to afford this model, it's OK. Brand names with this feature set can cost a lot more and this seemed to be the best deal in that brand-name class. If you are willing to roll the dice on a no-name import, you can get better features for not much more.

The Brondell Swash was easy to install - about 5 minutes longer than a typical toilet seat. The connecting hose is high quality, with well-plated fittings. Likewise, the mounting screws and plate are good, and it was easy to install the seat securely without any tools (as one should) Regarding usage, I'm completely hooked. I must admit, I was looking for an excuse to invest in a bidet seat for a while, and I'm glad I did. The Swash, with its simple lines, improved the aesthetic of our old, humdrum porcelain round-bowl toilet. The seat covers the difficult-to-clean part of the bowl beneath the hinge on a typical seat, making cleaning much simpler. I actually prefer not having a remote - one less thing to lose or drop in the toilet, and I have dogs who would consider it a delicious toy. Once you have used it a few times, you remember the button locations, and it's second nature to use them. The heated spray is adequate, lasting about 90 seconds. The air dry feature is great, though I find myself using it twice to get dry. The blower is offset to the left of the nozzle, so I found myself moving around a bit for...good coverage. I did try the massage feature too...can't really say that without a stupid teenage boy smirk even though I'm over 40. Not really sure what it's meant for, other than loosening things up, but I'll leave that part up to you. Lastly, the cool blue LED light is fun. I leave it on all the time just to look at the space portal in my guest bathroom.

Me gustó todo, sobre todo la funcionalidad, muy sencillo de instalar y utilizar

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.

This is something out of the next world!! Once you sit on it compared to a regular toilet you immediately feel the difference. My personal favorite is the heated seat feature. I never knew that having warm buns makes the experience so much better! I also love the Auto Function where at a push of the button all your needs are catered. Simply awesome product. I am so happy I am going to advertise this product to all my friends and clients in a subtle way as it is a toilet seat after all :D I feel that everybody should experince and enjoy this in their homes! Dont think about it, Get it and Thank G-d you did "just not in the bathroom when you do ;D" Enjoy

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.

* 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 :)
