Luxury Elongated Bidet Seat Review- Brondell Swash 1400

Page Contents

Luxurious design

One of the fascinating features of this bidet toilet seat is its modern design. Actually, this bidet toilet seat has an upgraded toilet design from the S1000. The sleek and luxurious design easily blends with any bathroom décor. Additionally, the user has the option of picking either a round or elongated toilet seat design. So, it will fit perfectly on your toilet, and installing it isn’t a problem.

Slow-closing lid

A slamming toilet seat can be annoying and creates unnecessary night noise. But with the Brondell Swash 1400, you won’t have to worry about the seat slamming as it comes with a slow-closing seat and lid. As you leave the toilet after a long call, the seat will close slowly, which is also safe for your kids as it won’t hurt their fingers.

Hidden pocket

Another unique feature that the Brondell Swash 1400 boasts of is the hidden pocket. This vital function allows this toilet to look sleek and stay safe. The pocket conceals both the power and water connection. Therefore, your toilet will remain secure with a lovely streamlined design.

Wireless remote control for ease of use

What’s more, the unit comes with a wireless remote control that makes using this unit simple. Unlike the Toto bidet C100, this model features two programmable user settings and an automatic eco mode. The one-touch automatic mode allows different users to experience a quick and refreshing experience. With the magnetic dock, you can rest assured that your remote will stay in place.

Adjustable water pressure and temperature

Regardless of the time of the year, this toilet seat ensures comfort whenever you visit the toilet. Thanks to the adjustable water pressure and temperature that ensure you’re comfortable during use. Its spray width adjustment provides targeted cleaning. Also, you will get endless warm water with four water temperature settings. This is because of the innovative tankless, ceramic-core heating system.

Stainless steel nozzles

Instead of using hard plastic material, Brondell used stainless steel to create its two nozzles. Stainless steel is easier to clean and long-lasting. So its dual stainless steel nozzles made this toilet seat more durable than other plastic-tipped toilet nozzles. One nozzle is for rear cleansing, while the second one is for front wash. The cleaning wands produce aerated water with three different widths. Also, the nozzles can be adjusted to seven different positions to meet the needs of different users. Also, a Bio Bidet BB-2000 bidet seat doesn’t offer Enema Function. But Brondell 1400 features an Enema Function that comforts users while using the toilet.

Unlike some bidet toilet seats on the market, the s1400 comes with nozzle sterilization. So, when the nozzle self-cleans, the sterilization helps to get rid of germs and maintain high hygiene levels.

Warm air dryer

When you’re done, the warm air dryer dries your nether area so that you don’t have to use tissue paper. This will help reduce the environment’s pollution as fewer trees will be felled to make tissue paper. You can get an oscillating FEMININE wash with a 2-minute warm air dry. Also, it is more hygienic as you don’t have to touch your nether area.

Replaceable deodorizer

The replaceable carbon air deodorizer makes the toilet smell fresh as it traps odor. This deodorizer can be replaced, so your bidet seat will always smell fresh even after many years of use.

LED nightlight

Aside from the exceptional features that this unit offers, it also comes with a cool blue LED illumination night light that brightens up your bathroom at night, which is not featured in the Brondell Swash SE400 electronic bidet seat. It also allows you to detect your toilet in the dark easily.

3-year warranty

Brondel is a reliable brand, and the whole of North America trusts it. So, if you’re new to this brand, you don’t have to worry, as this bidet toilet seat comes with a 3-year warranty. And in case you’re not impressed with the toilet, you can send it and have your money back within 30 days of purchase.
