Brondell Swash 1000 Bidet Toilet Seat

Great toilet seat!!!! Review by Lindalee

Rating

I am so glad that this was recommended to me by a friend; I immediately had it installed; you become so spoiled that when you use a regular seat, you really feel the difference. I would highly recommend it for everyone and have already told my friends about it. It is especially wonderful in the middle of a cold night. (Posted on 1/18/2018)

Wonderful Review by Georgia girl

we already have the same bidet in our home and we knew that it was a very good thing to have, so we bought them as Christmas presents for family members recently and they are pleased also. you can adjust the amount of pressure and the water volume and the water temperature and it is so easy to use and easy for my husband to install. l if you want a bidet this is the one to buy. I am a cancer survivor and I found it very useful during my cancer treatment from my chemo and radiation, it really made my toilet experience bearable, especially as a cancer patient, but my husband equally, is pleased with our purchase.

Great features, but needs MORE POWER! Review by Whiz

Rating

I've had a simple Brondell bidet for several years ("FreshSpa") and loved it, so when we built our new house, I thought it would be nice to "upgrade". It does in fact work great and has many nice features BUT I do very much wish it had much more "wash power"! It needs a "turbo wash" in my opinion. I've turned up the water pressure to the house to ~75PSI and while that seems to helps a bit, it is not enough. The simple Brondell FreshSpa has no fancy features but does use direct (and albeit, cold) wash pressure and really "gets the job done"! Positioned just right and it can even provide a nice water enema feature. The far more featured S1000 does not do that and boy do I wish it could! I'd pay more money for such a version that has that feature! At any rate, I don't think you can go wrong with this unit. I've only had it for a couple of weeks so durability is unknown at this point but I'm optimistic. ONLY buy the elongated version if you are a guy. You will feel a bit crowded and you have to sit a bit further back on the curved up seat than you might think but it is worth it. The install was easy but you do have to have a GFI rated electrical plug near the toilet to power it. If that is not possible or feasible, order the simple Brondell FreshSpa model instead. You'll be glad you have one! (Posted on 12/25/2017)

Great Value Review by Hawaiibidet

My husband and I were first introduced to a bidet toilet seat when we vacationed in Kauai a few years ago, and we've been wanting something like this every since. We recently remodeled a bathroom and decided to splurge on this toilet bidet seat. We chose it because it was in the desired price range and had good reviews. I would agree that this is an excellent bidet seat in this price range. It is well built and feels sturdy. The remote is easy to use and it was super easy to install. The seat is very comfortable and has a large opening. Just remember you need a GFI outlet close to the toilet so you can plug it in. The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is because the settings to move the spray nozzle forward and backward does not go forward enough. If there were one more setting, that would be perfect. Also, one more setting to lower the water pressure would also be nice. Other than that, it's a five star toilet seat! I have already recommended it to a couple friends. (Posted on 12/8/2017)

I take care of my best friend. She is fused from the hip to T2 and cannot reach to wipe after a BM.

Works Well Review by Dana

Bought the Swash 1000 to replace my failing Coway BA-13. Warning: (Coway refuses to support their products and will not provide parts or service for their products) you should avoid their products!

The Brondell Swash 1000 is virtually identical in functions to the Coway, however, the Brondell version has a stronger lid for sitting, and bit more powerful water pump and spray for better cleaning. Fast amd easy to instal and comes with all the necessary parts in the box, (The Coway required additional parts to be purchased just to install).

Brondell provides fast shipping, 5 year warranty, and service/parts support. Order one and enjoy! (Posted on 5/9/2017)

Environmentally Positive Review by Kunigunda

Rating

No complaints here. The Brondell Swash 1000 was easy to install and works like a charm. Our community had a sewer collapse recently. Three homes were swollowed into the sink hole it created. The repair process was slowed because sanitary wipes were clogging the temporary sewage filters requiring them to be cleaned every 12 hours. Sanitary wipes are not biodegradeable. I did not want to continue to be part of the problem by using the wipes. The bidet seat not only relieved my guilt, it also allowed me to reduce the impact on our environment. The sanitary wipes are no longer needed, the toilet paper usage is greatly reduced. Next time you are in one of those big-box stores, stand at the end of the toilet paper isle and realize that all of that has to be dealt with by our tax-supported sewage systems. Let's better spend our resources on prevention. Be a good citizen and buy a Brondell from Bidet King :) (Posted on 5/9/2017)

Planned ahead Review by ScrappyOT

Today, we got two of the 3 Brondell Swash 1000 installed. I have had them for a month but I first had to have electric outlets installed. In three days I will be having a lumbar laminectomy and for awhile I will not be able to bend or twist. Because of severe stenosis that was diagnosed two months ago; plus a severe urinary tract infection, I was having severe back electrical like back spasms and anytime I bent over or twisted until pain management became effective. Personal care became a nightmare, so I knew that this might become a problem again for awhile after the surgery. I am an occupational therapist and attended a conference about the same time the back aches started. Some presenters mentioned the Toto Washlet. When I decided I was going to need a bidet I spent hours reading the reviews. The Brondell Swash 100 was the first on one list that seemed to be valid. Because we have three bathrooms, one downstairs and two upstairs (one bathroom is being remodeled) I decided to purchase three and because of a discount I was able to purchase the three for about $700, over the cost of one Toto bidet. I really like the ease the bidet and feel that I am taking preventative measures to maintain health and less pain. (Posted on 5/5/2017)

The Best Review by nwduckie

I love the Swash 1000. It is everything I wanted it to be. Clean, warm, comfortable…despite this LONG winter. The BEST part of all? I now feel like a super woman. I can't believe I installed the Swash 1000 on my very own. Neither a plumber, nor a mechanic — the installation process was a boost to my confidence. Truly, if I can install this on my own, you should not be intimidated by the installation process. Now a few months later , I remain euphoric for having installed this all on my own, and I continue to enjoy and think this is the best purchase I have made in a long time. Highly recommended!

Purchased 4 Brondell toilets Review by 4 times the love

Rating

Bought my first Brondell bidet several years ago. Replaced the original with a new model. We have 3 bathrooms but did not want to visit the other toilets because the seats were 'cold'. Replaced the 2nd Brondell with a newer model and put the 2nd purchase in one of our other bathrooms. Purchased another model for the 1/2 bathroom without the water feature just to get one with a heated seat for visitors. Now I can visit any of the 3 toilets and know I won't have to deal with a cold seat. Have I said how much I love, love, love the Brondell bidets? Would rate them a '10' if I could!

good product - poor service Review by Gabor Finta

Rating

I complained about a poor gasket that came with the T split. No matter what I did - it was leaking. I wrote to the company that sold the seat; they promised to send a new T. Nothing happened. Next time they transferred me to the manufacture.r they sent me a few emails asking whether I was using teflon tape and again, that was the last thing I heard from them.
Finally I had to hire a local plumber who supplied a new (different) washer and the problem was solved. I am quite displeased about the company and the service what they provided. (Posted on 4/25/2017)

We've had this for about two months now. We were sent the wrong one (Elongated) first, but it got straightened out in about two weeks. It was easy to install, and has been very effective.

Swash 1000: worth the extra money Review by Bob

Rating

My wife and I first tried Bidets on a trip to Europe. Liked it, looked into them, then forgot about it over time. Recently we were in Japan, where they are EVERYWHERE and was convinced. I did a ton of research, and it came down to two brands/models: Swash vs. Toto. So I hired an electrician to install a GFCI plug while we were gone and ordered the Swash 1000. It was installed a few days after our return. It works as well as the Toto models that were in all the hotels, is easy to install and the "end" result is that you never feel less than shower fresh. The water pressure is excellent, the oscillation is great and the dryer is NOT a gimmick. It's great. This will sound weird, but I promise you, the thing will improve your life in small ways that you do not expect. I don't understand why Bidets are not as popular here as in Europe or Asia. I personally will never be without one again.

If you can, spend the money for the Swash 1000. As stated, the dryer is excellent, the oscillation is great, the deodorizer works well, there is nothing I am disappointed in. One last comment, yes, the Toto Bidets work great. I used them for a couple of weeks. But I love that Swash is made in CA. so we have close customer service. And the folks from Bidet King emailed me back and forth several times as I was making my decision, and were always quickly responsive. I hope I don't need it, but I feel like if I do, help is close.

My cleanliness and comfort are worth twice the price Review by Dongoloco

Rating

I am a 64 year old man who doesn't make changes in his life quickly. After reading reviews and pouring over the internet I decided to try the Swash 1000. I can only say "I am ashamed it took me so long". It delivers on on every level. I do have to say that my wife is giving me a huge amount of grief over my need to buy this. She is like a large majority of Americans, they can't let go of buffing their behinds with dry scratchy toilet paper. I believe she will try it soon and understand my reasons for getting this. Only slight negative is the shape of the round seat model is slightly shorter than the original seat which took a bit of getting used to. Happy and Clean in California! (Posted on 3/10/2017)

I Finally Did It! Review by Motorcycle Man

Rating

Every since my trip to Dubai a couple of years ago where I used one for the first time, I wanted one for my apartment! I was reluctant for quite a while, thinking about pros and cons...but once I pulled the trigger I was a happy camper!

It's been fun - a different experience from the conventional manner which I've done for over 63 years - so this is a new era that is working out fine! The various modes are easy to use | it fitted perfectly | there are so many adjustments to make it 'just right' | it's very soothing | it's beautiful!

The technical support folk were great - they answered competently every question about my concerns. They were clear and knowledgeable. The timing happened to be perfect for me as well - I'm preparing for a colonoscopy tomorrow.

Perfectly satisfied! (Posted on 1/26/2017)

Great bidet, the Swash 1000 quality and functionality is superior. Review by Jim

Rating

During our time in Japan we were really taken by Japanese toilets, so we looked for one in the US. The Brondell Swash 1000 was the best value we found, and it has been everything we expected. I had to install power in the toilet room, but after that was done installation of the bidet was very easy, taking less than 45 minutes. In the two months since then it has worked flawlessly and has been just like the similar appliances we saw in Japan. The features are just what are needed, and the control buttons are well marked and easy to learn. The seat and cover are strong, not flimsy like some others we have read about. We don't use the heated seat (we're in Arizona) but the heated water and warm air dryer are very nice. We highly recommend the bidet- I think that anyone who takes the time to try it will understand that it is a huge improvement over the antiquated paper system from ancient times.

This bidet seat is such a quality of life improvement! Super easy to install with very straightforward instructions.

Didn't know what I was missing Review by Al

Rating

I finally got serious about buying a Bidet after being skeptical of the benefits. I was raised on a farm some 60 years ago and at one time we actually used a wooden outhouse and an old Sears catalog. I guess we were tougher back then. With today's plumbing I have felt very fortunate to have indoor plumbing and soft toilet paper. Well, life has been elevated to a new level thanks to my new Brondell Swash 1000. You won't find a better bidet at this price with this many usable features. I did a lot of research looking at Brondell and beyond to many other makes. I kept coming back to Brondell because of its reviews, price, features, and the five year warranty. I emailed Brondell with a question on my delivery and received a response within a couple hours. Shipping was quick and it came very well packaged to protect it from shipping damage.

Bad start Review by Lompoccat

When I ordered on the phone, the clerk didn't ask (and I did think of it) what shape I needed. The seat came in just two days!! The wrong shape was sent, unfortunately. In order to get the right shape, it took more than a week, destroying the great reputation the company was building. Once the new one was installed, everything went great and I am enjoying the seat.

Nice bidet, but broke after 6 years Review by BidetQueen

Rating

I bought this same model of bidet 6 years ago. Just about 4 months ago, it stopped working properly; the water from the retracted nozzles would continue to run after use. The only way to stop the water from flowing was to shut off the water altogether to my toilet, not practical. When I decided to replace my original Brondell Swash 1000, I thought about buying a different brand, but in the end I liked this one enough. Naturally, I would have preferred that my original Brondell Swash 1000 still worked properly, but I spent $450 for the use of a good bidet toilet seat for 6 years, not a bad fee.

I hope this one works for a longer time, but nothing these days seems to last forever. If this one fails, I will definitely be looking at a Toto. (Posted on 1/5/2017)

Our first bidet and we wish we had thought about it sooner. Very pleased with the purchase of the Swash 1000. The heated seat, water and dryer are great features.

love the features Review by drimah

I bought this bidet to replace one that just gave out after 15 years. There are many features I love about it- heated seat, instantly heated water, moving stream, adjustable stream width, and a seat cover strong enough to sit on (this is what sold me from the other brands). It’s highly customizable to stream, temperature and other settings, and fits my very 80 year old, round toilet. It was easy to install but that may be because it was a replacement. My only minor complaint is that when I turn it on, there is a slightly longer lag than I’m used to, before the water turns on. I would highly recommend it. (Posted on 8/4/2016)

This unit is easy to install and works great. My complaint is that after 6 years, the unit is malfunctioning: it continues to run water after having been turned off.

better than Kohler, reliable and breeze to install Review by Kohler has nothing on this! Brondell Swash 1000 is the best!

Rating

I previously owned a Kohler C3-200 bidet seat which was 3x more expensive than the Brondell Swash 1000. Numerous issues from day one--and finally DEAD. Bought the Brondell Swash 1000 and wish I knew about it prior to the Kohler purchase. Easy to install *I did the entire install myself in less than 30 minutes* no fuss, no muss and works like a charm!

I love the entire remote *Kohler never worked correctly*, intuitively easy to use; self-cleaning a nice touch but remember, you still need to clean on a regular basis, quiet and perfectly designed to fit even the Kohler toilet bowl i own.

Only one drawback, I wish the seat temperature would remain ON at setting, not go into eco mode as it does. Not a showstopper, just a wish.

All in all, the best purchase ever made and a thank you to sales person Richard for making the sales process wonderful! (Posted on 7/8/2016)

Don't wait like I did ... best ever. Review by Melinda S.

Rating

The Brondell Swash 1000 is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I've actually had this about 4-5 months now and would sure miss it if I didn't have it. It took about an easy 1/2 hour to set up and a second one will eventually be installed. The remote has worked without fault, it lights up momentarily so if you haven't memorized the buttons, you can find them at night w/o being blinded. The first spurt of water is a bit on the cool side but thereafter is very comfortable. A couple things I think people don't realize is that this machine can help (getting to the nitty gritty here) save a little bit on laundry time, soap, water, electricity for washer and dryer and need for a lot of toilet paper. I enables me to feel comfortable and clean all the time. As others have mentioned, the arms don't seem to extend far enough forward. You can scoot back a bit to compensate, depending on need. Ladies in particular can have additional needs due to anatomy and other cleansing requirements. This machine is a blessing. You will not regret this purchase. (Posted on 7/4/2016)

Happy happy Review by Lagoondon

So glad we made this purchase! Rather than repeating all the benefits and features mentioned by other reviewers, I want to thank Richard at Bidet King for his helpfulness. I had questions about which Bidet would best fit either of two toilets in our home. He helped me with measurements and narrowing the choices to a couple of options that would meet our needs and most likely be a good fit. So when the bidet arrived, the next day, I felt comfortable installing it myself and did so without any issues. We have been more than pleased with the Brondell Swash 1000 after a month. It has exceeded our expectations. I happened, as well to find a better sale price elsewhere while researching, and Richard matched the price, so we were able to buy best bidet our budget could afford. (Posted on 7/4/2016)

I ordered the Swash 1000 3 years ago as I needed something that would be easier than showering after each toilet use. My husband said if I needed it then buy it. Now he says he doesn't ever want to be without a bidet seat. He uses it as much as I do. It has never given any problems. I ordered another one for the other bathroom and it is equally as good. This is the only way to "go". I have never been happier than making this purchase. (Posted on 1/29/2016)

Exceeded expectations ! Review by Ken

Rating

I am an engineer and researched many bidet seats before landing on the Swash 1000. We have never used a bidet and was not aware until recently that an add-on bidet seat such as this one was an easy install on existing toilets. I was pleasantly blown away with how easy the install was and the product has exceeded my expectations ! The price was right and I am extremely glad that I decided on the model with stainless wands , heated seats and instant heated water. I cannot imagine not having these features with One of these products. In my opinion , these are necessary features if anyone is researching these products and the Brondell Swash 1000 is working as advertised on all of them (Posted on 1/3/2016)

As Advertised Review by Ellie Feather

Rating

The Swash 1000 was just as I hoped it would be. Easy to install with all the parts included that we needed, and it was easy to learn how to take advantage of the various optional functions which all work just as advertised. I am especially pleased that it was just what wanted because this seems to be one of the few, or maybe the only bidet toilet seat that has instant hot water, that is water that is heated as needed and with no limit on the amount of hot water, and it also has a seat cover that is strong enough to sit on while doing other things in the bathroom. I also like the stainless steel tubes and the charcoal filter and the cleaning function. There is a little delay, less than a minute, in the delivery of warm water when the unit is in economy mode, but that is a good trade off to having the water heated all the time when it is only used a few times a day, and there is not shock of cold water while the water heater is warming up.

Excellent Product I Never knew About!!! Review by Chris

Rating

On a recent trip to Spain my wife exclaimed how she really loved the hotel bidet and said she regretted that even our brand new home in the US did not come with a bidet. I agreed but said that that there was not even enough room or plumbing / drain capability in our separate master toilet room to add a a separate bidet. I even commented that it seemed like there should be a way to integrate the bidet functions within the toilet itself, though at the time I simply had no idea that this type of product actually already existed. Fast forward to returning home to the US, and curiosity leading to Google searches resulting in identifying the Brondell 1000 as the best avaailable toilet seat bidet attachment. I purchased the Brondell 1000 after reading many product reviews that gave it top marks. I was impressed with the product capabilities and the 3 year warranty (extended to 5 years by our supplier BidetKing). The product installed easily in 30 minutes on our Toto oblong toilet, after I had previously installed a a new GFI outlet near to the toilet. My wife loves it. What can I say -- warm toilet seat!! -- warm wash that keeps giving (continuous supply available)!! --adjustable stainless sterilizing spray heads (no plastic)!! Not only is it now a pleasure to clean up after the go, chronic constipation is now a thing of the past thanks to the gentle massaging water jets. My wife loves her new bathroom toy!! Thanks to the confidence Brondell shows in its lengthy warranty, we expect the Brondell 1000 to last a long time and are considereing adding Brondells to our other bathrooms. (Posted on 12/21/2015)

I bought one to try out. Loved it, so I bought a second one. This model has all the features that other more expensive brands offer. I had these two units for 5+ years and used them every day without any problems.

I bought the third one last year, but unfortunately it had seat power problem last week. The customer support is great. I had the replacement part in two days with detailed install instructions. It was easy to replace the defected part. I’m very impressed with the design. Definitely recommend to buy.

Absolute Need Review by Daughter in Law

Rating

My Mother In Law was recovering from a broken hip and shoulder, so toileting was a challenge, so I suggested a bidet. I mean, who wants to do that dirty work for any one other than themselves, right? So, we ordered the 1000, installed in no time, and I personally tried it out first, to make sure it wasn't going to shock her or scare her or anything like that..haha. It is great. It has solved our toileting dilemma. She actually giggled like a child the first few times she used it, but now she says if feels nice, and her bottom feels clean. And feeling clean is what the main goal was. The two things I didn't like so much were the air dry didn't dry the "front" area very well, and, the first burst of water was a bit cold...whew who.. that was a bit of an unpleasant shocker.. haha. So on a scale of one to five, that brings it down to a 3.5., but that is not an option, so I went with a 4 (Posted on 12/7/2015)

great product with excellent support Review by Bob

Rating

After sitting on the idea of a bidet for a couple of years, I decided to pull the trigger, and based in part of reviews, I chose the Brondell s1000. I've had it running for a few days and so far it surpasses my expectations. I want to mention a potential installation issue that some may encounter. Many reviews here mention having this seat up and running in less than half an hour, but if you have a toilet such as the Toto Aquia, where there is no access to the underside of the screws that attach the seat to the basin, you will need a different setup to connect the water supply to the bidet. The Aquia basin has fully enclosed sides, including much of the backside and you cannot attach both the toilet water supply hose and the bidet supply hose to the bottom of the tank--there is no room. You need to attach both to the water shut-off valve instead. This may require ordering a special T valve. You should figure out what size threads you have and then consult the support people either at BidetKing and/or Brondell to make sure you can get what you need. With the correct parts, it's straight forward, but you'll be unhappy if you get part way into the assembly and get stuck. Enjoy! It's a fantastic gadget. (Posted on 12/7/2015)

not satisfied Review by funnybone

We bought this almost two years ago, and were happy at first since this was our first one. 9 months down the road, started having some problems ---called the manufacturer who gave us self-test instructions and took care of the problems. Then, a few months after warranty expiration, same problem surfaced. Called again and trouble shooting guided by factory tech guy, sort of solve the problem, just get by, last month, the problem became worse (no air, no heat), called again, and was told by manufacturer, to send back to repair. The cost would run about $100 (even with our 5-year warranty), and our share was only 25% of the cost. That made me upset, So decided to keep using the cold washer cycle, till it quits. Not a happy user. (Posted on 10/27/2015)

great product and so easy to install Review by cj

Rating

I bought this last week as I've always wanted a bidet and was thinking of replacing our toilet with one. Little did I know that I could just get a bidet seat instead! This thing is awesome, and so simple to install. Took me way less then an hour (we had pre-existing outlet right where it was needed). Love all the functions. Warm water from the first squirt of the nozzle. Heated seat. Intuitive controls. Effective dry. The instructions are clear and it's simple to install, but for those of you who are more visual learners, check out the installation video. I do find I have to sit a bit further back on the seat then I usually did to get the spray in all the right places, but it is a minor adjustment. You won't regret purchasing this item.

A Very Good Product Review by Patsy

We replaced a thirteen year old Japanese bidet seat with the Swash. That many years ago there wasn't much selection, so recently we were overwhelmed with the choice of manufacturers, features, and prices. A VERY knowledgeable phone rep from Bidetking helped narrow down the field and we ordered the Swash. We've been very happy with it, especially since it has many more features for half the price of the old one. (Posted on 6/22/2015)

Best purchase made in a long time! Review by Lordfontleroy

Rating

Purchased a Brondell 1000 May this year and have been very happily surprised ever since.
I did not realize the number of features this NECCESSARY (in my case) appliance has and does extremely well. I am 68 yo,
somewhat overweight, and no longer as flexible as I used to be. With all that said, I am now again able to be as clean as I used to be, maybe even more so.
This unit has been proven to be even more reliable than expected. I do plan in the near future to buy a second unit for my half
bath, just in case, and to give this gem a break once in a while. If this sounds like both my wife and I probably would have a genuinely hard time not having this product available would be very accurate. Thank you Brondell and BK!

I ordered this for my 92 year old mother who lives with me. She is a very private person and prides herself in doing her own self-care. It has all the features we needed: heated water, good spray, easy to use remote and seat for sitting. This is truly a new level of luxury as I have also purchased one for myself.

Power washer for your privates Review by CleanAsAWhistle

This is an indispensible unit for those with hemorrhoids. I have had mine for 3 trouble-free years, and I love this product. It has unlimited hot water, has sufficient pressure and has an easy-to-use remote control. The only reason I didn't rate this 5 stars is that my 80-pound child cannot use this, as it does not seem to recognized lighter individuals. This doesn't make sense to me.


-***BidetKing.com Reponse*** - Thank you for the great review! The seat sensor is actually not based on weight, but instead senses skin contact. If you imagine a clock face over your seat, the sensor is around the 4-5 o'clock area. You can also turn this sensor off completely so your chlid can use it as well! Just consult your user manual or our bidet tutorial videos for instructions. Thank you! (Posted on 10/29/2014)

Fantastic! Review by Budman

Okay, I have to admit that I approached this product cautiously. It sounded great, but could it (would it) do everything it promised? What happens if it malfunctions? We're talking about some pretty sensitive areas here!!
After reading the great reviews I ordered it and it was delivered within a few days. The installation was a snap, so the moment of truth was upon us! I volunteered to take one for the team and did the maiden voyage. WOW!! This thing was great. It took me a couple of seconds to utilize all the features, but it was a very short learning curve. Next, it was my wife's turn. She was even more elated. I'd highly recommend. It is very sturdy and well made. We also looked at the Toto, but is was MUCH more expensive, and quite frankly, I didn't like their attitude of "once you open it you own it." Order the Brondell and you'll be saying, "why didn't we do this years ago?" Their return policy and warranty is the best. Just look at the reviews! (Posted on 7/1/2014)

Pros:
1. Good prices on this website
2. I am 43 year old woman; installation was easy (especially after watching the videos!)
3. The seat is comfortable.
Cons:*
4. after pushing the spray wash button, it takes several seconds to start washing.
5. The water starts warm, but can have cold spots.
6. The control looks inexpensive in comparison to the Toto Washlets.

* We owned a TotoWashlet 3 years ago. (They are the Cadillac.) The spray was direct, immediate and always warm. However, it costs twice as much. (Posted on 6/3/2014)

I've never been so happy with any product purchase I've made as much as my Brondell Swash. This is a delicate subject for some, os words must be chosen as not to offend. To be fresh and sparking in an area that demands clean is tantamount to my daily ablutions. The heath benefits , from loosey-goosey to the petrified forest folks, our problems are gone. Short armed people rejoice, there is no further need for tears. Chubby in the belly ? No problem for the Swoosh. If it would fit in my purse, I'd never leave home without it. Each day I am Swoosh Sparklin and happy. There was a tiny manufactoring problem and one telephone call to customer service and all was remedied instantly. I'm buying another, my neighbors have purchased them and my daughter has one now also. (Posted on 6/3/2014)

My mother tried it, and of course she wanted one for christmas. Im in the process of redoing my office and thinking hard about putting one in my bathroom there as well. I havent tried other models but ive been very pleased with the 1000, everything works like it should, heated seat and water are nice, and it does a great job.

One of my favorite purchases Review by SteveB

Even though the Brondell1000 was too big for my bowl and the seat was in the way of my sink when I lift the seat up rather than using the two bolts to keep the Brondell stationary I used Velcro over the two holes and maneuvered the seat onto the bowl where it is now stationary and the seat lifts up no problem. Very happy with the 1000. Beautiful seat. I actually look forward to using the Bidet. I have to get out more. The Bidet works as advertised. Water pressure and temperature perfect. heated seat perfect. Up and down motion perfect of the jets. Don't use the blower and the odor filter is okay. (Posted on 1/11/2014)

Excellent Product Review by DeeDee

I purchased the Blondell Swash 1000 in June 2013 and am completely happy with it. My husband even likes using it. It certainly helps when occasional constipation hits. I will never be without this product again. I even purchased a second one for the other bathroom. Yes, we did have to run an electrical line but as the bathroom backed up to the bedroom and there was an outlet on the other side of the wall we just added a second outlet next to it on the bathroom side. Bidet King has been a godsend for me as I have an intestinal problem which is why we purchased it in the first place. I read an article about other countries not understanding why Americans do not use Bidets. Of course they are speaking of the type used in Europe. Well, those kind are like a sink where you sit, wash, dry then drain the water. After the first minute, you are sitting in dirty water. The Brondell Swash 1000 or any of the toilet seat types only spray clean water with a spray strong enough to wash anything away. I would never invest in a full bidet when the Brondell Swash 1000 is available. It is cleaner, has more functions, a remote and does more than the ordinary European style bidets.

good quality and construction - doesn't fit small toilet Review by Otto

Rating

The complication of using the sediment filter included by Bidet King, makes the piping arrangement awkward. It works but it looks like a Rube Goldberg arrangement than quality elegant installation that it should. The seat end overhangs the bowl by about and inch, and on the inside, the bowl rim is about an inch an a half short of where the inside edge of the toilet seat ends. So I would say it does not really fit a small round toilet even though it can be installed. The electrical cord is so short it won't reach a counter height outlet on the opposite side from where it exits the bidet seat. Quality of the seat seems to be a 5 star, but with the described hurdles, it brings me down one star. (Posted on 2/28/2013)

Quality product at an excellent price Review by Happy User In PA

Rating

"About 15 months ago I had purchased a COCO bidet seat from bidetking.com. I absolutely loved it until it slowly quit working. Coming back to this site, I see that they no longer sell the COCO bidet seats and I am guessing that it may have something to do with the fact that they quit functioning shortly after the warranty expires which speaks volumes for BidetKing. This model has a 3-year warranty so on a year-to-year basis, it is actually LESS expensive to purchase this bidet seat over other brands and that is if the bidet stops functioning after the warranty runs out.

Another awesome feature on this particular bidet is the wide spray option and anybody who has had their gallbladder removed will truly appreciate this feature as will anybody who has ""reactive"" food issues if you get my drift.

I ordered this bidet and received it within a week of my order date which I thought was pretty darned good.

Additionally, I was talking to a friend's mother who lives in Japan where they swear by the TOTO products and the Brondell Swash 1000 is almost identical in features for a fraction of the price! If you check out any videos from TOTO, you will notice that they are almost identical!

I am now considering the purchase of at least one more for one other bathroom in my house! (We have four bathrooms so the savings in toilet paper along with the cleanliness factor make these products fabulous in my book.)

The installation was quick and easy.

Kudos to BidetKing for yet another quality product at an affordable price and excellent service!" (Posted on 1/28/2013)

Helped alleviate my medical problems Review by Joe C

Rating

I purchased the Swash 1000 about five weeks ago and really like it. My main motivation for purchasing a bidet was so that I could use it as a Sitz bath. I have recurring pain due to an anal fissure which causes the muscles of the anus to spasm. I use the wide spray and oscillation at maximum water temperature to gently massage that area for about five to ten minutes. I find it helps to temporarily reduce the pain by relaxing the muscles. This type of injury takes time to heal so I use this therapy several times a day in conjunction with pain medication and daily intake of Benefiber. My only complaint is that I have to press the Rear remote button continually for extended rinses longer than a minute. I wish there were a way to set the bidet to rinse continually for much longer periods than one minute, without having to press the Rear button every 59 seconds. I would definitely recommend this bidet. Love it! (Posted on 1/28/2013)

Thanks, BidetKing! Review by Liz Holt

"I purchased the Swash 1000 about 6 weeks ago. I am pleased with the heated seat function, which was my main motivator for the purchase. The bidet function works as advertised and the adjustable spray width, temperature, and force allow the user to customize the wash to his/her preference. The fan does an adequate job drying skin, but not other areas. The seat has a silent function, so that other than flowing water and blowing fan, there is no other noise. The ""eco mode"" turns the seat temperature down to the lowest seating if the seat is unoccupied for more than 10 minutes, but there is no timer function. This is not an issue because even the lowest seat temp keeps the seat from being cold when you first sit down and it warms up rapidly.
When the spray starts, the first water out is cool, but only for a second--just be prepared!
I do wish that the water hose was ""biscuit"" color to match the seat. Instead, it is white, which is not visually appealing (and I paid extra for the ""biscuit"" color seat).
Installation was extremely easy (other than having to install an electric outlet near the commode). The seat was shipped promptly and arrived in excellent condition." (Posted on 1/28/2013)

Great product but cord looks awkward Review by Gale Floyd

"This is a great product. I bought it for my parents for Christmas, they always wanted a 'real' bidet having lived in both Europe and Japan. They are very happy with this surprise. Because my elderly parents are very thin they would benefit by a cushioned seat. Is there any way the company could design a washable seat made from memory foam or similiar material? This would be a great option for a lot of people.

What I don't like about this model is the way the plug cord comes out of the side...not attractive. It would be very easy to design the cord to protrude facing the floor versus the side." (Posted on 1/27/2013)

I called their customer service line and Michelle recommended this seat over others as their top of the line model. I used to have a Swash 800 before we moved and my complaint with that model was that I didn't like the nozzles. I didn't think they cleaned very well. Michelle said this seat has a wide spray function which I found very useful and my wife likes the fact that she can sit on the lid and do her makeup. The 1000 definitely feels sturdier and more durable than the 800. We love it so far. (Posted on 1/27/2013)
