    Brondell Swash 1400 Overview

    Investing in a traditional bidet comes with a salty price tag, sometimes thousands of dollars. Installation can be an additional expensive nightmare. The Swash 1400 is an easily installed bidet toilet seat that fits nearly any residential or commercial toilets at a fraction of the price.

    The Brondell Swash 1400 bidet seat cover ($649) incorporates smart technology and fits on top of your current toilet, shooting a steady stream of cleansing warm water up your “behind” at the touch of a button. No separate basin needed, nor does the Brondell Swash 1400 require any complicated plumbing. Instead, the Brondell will easily replace your current toilet seat with a couple of screws.

    Features

    Among the many features the Brondell Swash 1400 bidet seat cover has, perhaps one of the coolest features is the fact that the unit is heated, both the seat and the water. You can adjust the temperature to your preference, even cold water if you so desire.  The Brondell also has dual-position stainless steel nozzles that extend and retract, so you can adjust these nozzles to direct the water to specific spots. These nozzles are self-sterilizing as well. Additionally, the seat itself holds up to 330 lbs.

    The Brondell Swash 1400 also includes a replaceable deodorizer to keep things fresh for up to 6 months, as well as a warm-air dryer to finish the job. You also get a nightlight in case you want a little cleaning after-hours.

    Function-wise, the adjustable temperature settings are a lovely feature. Cold, luke-warm or warm, the Brondell allows you to customize your bidet.
