Brondell
Brondell Swash 1400
Brondell's long-running flagship and the perennial value alternative to TOTO in the luxury tier. A ceramic-core tankless system delivers endless warm water, and it's one of very few seats with dual dedicated stainless wands — separate rear and front nozzles. Wireless remote, two user presets, sittable lid, hidden cord channel, night light, deodorizer, and a 3-year limited warranty round it out. Lists at $649.99 but streets at $400-480, in white or biscuit, elongated or round.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Separate dedicated rear and front stainless-steel wands — most rivals, including every TOTO, share one wand for both jobs; owners cite this as the 1400's hygiene edge
- ✓Ceramic-core tankless heating delivers a genuinely endless warm wash — Techlicious clocked two full minutes with no temperature sag, where tank seats like Brondell's own discontinued DS725 chilled inside a minute
- ✓3-year limited warranty (100%/75%/50% by year) is triple TOTO's standard coverage, with a $99 five-year full extension available
- ✓One of the only luxury seats still offered in biscuit/beige AND a round fit — matching a 1990s almond toilet is basically this or nothing in 2026
- ✓The lid is rated sittable — TOTO lids explicitly aren't — which parents supervising bath time and anyone who perches to clip toenails will appreciate
- ✓Hidden cord pocket routes the cable under the seat lip for a cleaner install than the TOTO S5's dangling cord
- ✓Seven nozzle positions plus adjustable spray width give it a wider aiming envelope than the S5's five positions
- ✓Street price gyrates between $385 and $480 — patient Slickdeals watchers routinely land it near $400, absurd for a dual-wand tankless seat
Cons
- ✗The infamous cold-start burst: the first second or two of every wash arrives unheated before the ceramic core catches up — Techlicious called it 'a deal-breaker' at this price, it's the top complaint in owner reviews, and TOTO's instant seats don't do it
- ✗The warm-air dryer is weak even by bidet standards — reviewers report multiple cycles and repositioning to end up only mostly dry
- ✗Night light is on-or-off from the seat only: no motion sensor, no brightness adjustment, no remote toggle
- ✗The front wash wand doesn't extend as far forward as it should — smaller-framed users report leaning back awkwardly for coverage
- ✗Only two user presets versus four on the TOTO S5/KS6 remotes
- ✗No PREMIST equivalent, so the bowl never gets the pre-wetting that makes TOTO bowls shed waste
- ✗The deodorizer runs quiet but faint — owners in small bathrooms still reach for the fan
- ✗The platform dates to 2017 and Brondell's engineering attention has moved to the Thinline series — expect replacement rather than refresh, with the clearance-pricing churn that implies

Brondell Swash LE99
With the mid-range Swash DS725 discontinued (Brondell's own site lists it out of stock and Ferguson and Build mark it dead), the LE99 is Brondell's current mid-tier remote seat and the DS725's effective replacement. A hybrid heater pairs a small tank with supplemental heating for an extended — though not endless — warm wash, plus heated seat, warm-air dryer, stainless nozzle, night light, and Lite-Touch remote. Lists at $399.99; Brondell sells it at $324.99 and Amazon regularly runs lower.
The GS-70 GoSpa is Brondell's long-running portable squeeze bidet: a 400 ml (13.5 oz) soft bottle with a screw-on angled nozzle that stores inside the bottle for hygienic transport, plus a metal airlock that keeps the stream even as you squeeze. Fill it with cool or warm tap water, wash, rinse, done. Still current in Brondell's lineup alongside the newer Collapsible and Advanced GoSpas, it's the standard recommendation for travel, postpartum, and mobility care.
Bio Bidet
Bio Bidet BB-2000 Bliss
Bio Bidet's long-running flagship seat (now sold under Bemis ownership) and still the spray-strength benchmark of the category in 2026. Its hybrid heater pairs a small tank with on-demand heating for unlimited warm water, and the vortex wash mode delivers a concentrated enema-grade jet no tankless rival matches. Forbes named it Best Bidet Overall in 2025; it lists at $699 but routinely streets in the $420-500 range.
