Brondell Swash SE600 Bidet Toilet Seat, Fits Elongated Toilets, White - Oscillating Stainless-Steel Nozzle, Warm Air Dryer, Ambient Nightlight

Easy to installWorks greatWould recommend

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 purchased the se600 model back when the toilet paper was being sold from roadside vans for ten times or more the regular cost. Thanks to the plandemic for that.Well, the sphincter spa is still working like a champ! No issues, no failures or faults, even after moving from one house to another and re-installing it.For those on the fence about it, I would replace ours instantly if it did fail. Can't imagine life without it now. And yes, it has a multitude of features and setting. From a gentle spray to a cavern carving jet that will destroy all Klingons on, near or around Uranus. Butt, seriously though, it has temperature controls up the wazoo, massage and reciprocate modes that would make even the finest power tools green with envy. Warm or warmer still heated air drying. Three level seat heater mode, soft close lid & seat, fancy blue light so you can see to hit your target in poor lighting conditions, etc etc etc.Do yourself a favor, don't sit on it too long. Get off the fence and take the plunge. You'll be glad you did :)

So we got our first bidet seat for xmas 2018. It was a Brondell E600. Just to set the stage...I am 6'3" and weigh about 270lbs and my wife is 5'8" and weighs about 160lbs. We really liked everything about this bidet with one exception. It has a water tank with heater and the warm water would run out within about 15-20 seconds even though most everything I read said it would last 40-60 seconds. Now, it really only takes about 10-15 seconds of washing to get the job done BUT...I like to let it go a little longer just to make sure it's all nice and clean on the ole bottom so we would run out of warm water most of the time. Due to this, we decided to move that seat to our kid's bathroom and order another one for me and the wife. Wifey said that the Brondell E600 also didn't seem like it hit the right spot on her front wash and she had to wiggle around a bit to get that done but it wasn't a deal breaker for her because she liked everything else about it. We started shopping around again and decided on the Biobidet BB-2000.Biobidet BB-2000 - This seat has a lot of features but we felt like the quality of this seat was not as good as the Brondell. We also noticed that the seat did not stay very warm. It seemed like it was just about room temp all the time, after you sat down for about 30 seconds you could feel it start warming up. It almost seemed like it was in eco mode all the time no matter whether it was set to low or high. It did seem to have an endless supply of warm water no matter how long you let the wash cycle run. I ended up contacting someone at bidetking.com and asking about the seat warming and was told that they have one in their office and it's the same way. We decided the cost was too much to just settle so we returned it and have now ordered a Brondell swash 1200.Brondell Swash 1200 - waiting on delivery so can't say at this time but feel confident we will love it.Summary:After owning a Brondell, a Biobidet and a Alpha JX we have decided that of them all we liked the Brondell brand a lot more. It just seems like the quality is better. The seat is nice and toasty at all times even on the low and medium settings. On the Biobidet and the Alpha we noticed when you get up from the toilet the seat wants to lift up with you. That did not happen on the Brondell. Seems like that is due to the heavy dutyness (don't think that's a real word) of the seat of the Brondell. The lid of the Biobidet seemed very flimsy and weak. The Alpha was better in that regard. The Alpha seemed to clean the worst of them all that we've tried. This is a significant investment (well worth it in our opinion) and you should be completely satisfied since you will be using it daily. We truly believe based on experience now that the amount of toilet paper we will save the seat will pay for itself in 2 yrs or less.Obviously, there is a fair amount of personal preference with an item like a bidet but for us, we think the Brondell brand is significantly better quality than all the others we tried. I can also say that I used to travel to Japan quite a bit and they almost solely use Toto brand there so I have tried them also and the Brondell brand seems everybit as good as a Toto and Brondell seems to have more features for less money than Toto.My wife said that both the Biobidet and the Alpha did a better job washing her front parts but I believe that's because they both have 2 separate wands (one for the rear and one for the front) which allows for better washing of a ladies parts than just having one wand for both like the Brondell E600 we had first. The new Brondell swash 1200 we have ordered has 2 wands so we are expecting it to wash her front lady parts as well as the Biobidet and Alpha.No matter which one you choose, if you have never had a bidet seat, I think you'll find it's a game changer and you'll wonder how you have gone so long and never owned one. We will never be without one again. It works so much easier and better than toilet paper and/or wipes. Is better for your sewer or septic system and the environment. The Brondell washed so well that even after the wash you can wipe with toilet paper and find the paper will be completely clean! Other than using the single piece of toilet paper to dry off with, you wouldn't need to wipe at all. That reminds me, the dryer function on them all is pretty much worthless so don't let that be a deciding factor in your evaluation of any of them. Oh, and my wife really likes the blue nightlight function on the Brondell too. Hope this helps anyone who is shopping to help you make a decision and get the most bang for your buck.
