Why should I choose the Bio Bidet BB-1000

The Bio Bidet BB-1000 is a tried and true bidet toilet seat with solid construction and reliable operation.  While the lid is not as sturdy as the Swash 1000, the BB-1000 seat is just as strong.  This seat strength combined with its superior water pressure makes the Bio Bidet BB-1000 one of the best bidet toilet seats for heavy and bariatric users.  Bio Bidet seats are known for their superior wash pressure and the BB-1000 is certainly no slouch.  It features a wonderful enema function with Bio Bidet’s Vortex water stream.  The BB-1000’s front feminine wash is able to reach farther forward than the Swash 1000’s.

Conclusion

At $599 and $499 respectively, the Brondell Swash 1000 and Bio Bidet BB-1000 are two of the best mid-tier bidet seats available.  With the $100 price difference, the Swash 1000 is built a little bit better and features newer technology like its tankless water heating system.  But, where the Swash 1000 struggles is where the BB-1000 shines with plenty of spray pressure and a farther reaching front feminine wash.  The choice of which model to buy really depends on the user’s preferences for the different factors explained above.  But, if we were forced to choose one, it’d be the Brondell Swash 1000
