Brondell Swash 1400 Bidet Seat Review

While doing this story about the SWASH 1400 Luxury Bidet Seat, I struggled to figure out the angle to take. We all seem to have a vague notion of what a bidet is, but that is not especially helpful when deciding what one is actually like to use.

I’m going to take a different tack in this review. This summer, I traveled from a small airport in Vermont to another small airport located two hours over the mountains to the east. I was on a four-seater plane, and the experience made a full-size commercial plane feel completely different by comparison.

That contrast is basically the takeaway here. I had not used many bidets before this review, so rather than treating every bidet as interchangeable, I focused on what the Swash 1400 actually offered and how it felt to use.

Brondell Swash 1400 Installation

We will start with the installation of the SWASH 1400 Luxury Bidet Seat. They had a support line, and they would call and talk you through the process. They were quick at responding to photos I sent over. There were tutorials on the site, and while installation felt intimidating at first, within a few minutes I understood the process and was relatively up to speed.

Brondell Swash 1400 Features

I included a photo of the remote because it shows how many controls are built into the seat. It lights up, the seat heats up, it has settings for two users, and the controls are adjustable.

There are a lot of settings packed into the unit, and the range of adjustments was more extensive than I expected.

There is a learning curve to figuring out which temperature and settings you prefer, but that was part of getting used to a different bathroom routine rather than a problem with the product itself.

How the Brondell Swash 1400 Worked in Daily Use

I found myself wanting my wife to try it because I was curious about the different settings. I read the manual and worked through the features one by one.

For me, the appeal of the Swash 1400 was the range of settings and adjustments rather than any one novelty feature.

At the time of this review, the Swash 1400 was also listed on Amazon.
