Brondell Swash 300
Brondell's long-serving budget electric — on sale since the early 2010s and still in the lineup because it does one thing well: warm water, heated seat, and a wireless remote for around $200. Dual self-cleaning nozzles handle separate rear and front washes with an aerated spray. There's no dryer, no night light, no deodorizer — this is the strip-down that made 'entry-level electric bidet' a category, now squeezed hard by Brondell's own newer LE99.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The cheapest path to a wireless remote in a name-brand seat — everything else at this price (Toto A2 route, SmartBidet) is side-panel only
- ✓Dual dedicated nozzles — separate rear and front wands — a hygiene layout even the $349 Toto S2 doesn't offer, borrowed from the flagship Swash 1400 philosophy
- ✓Aerated spray feels softer and wider than the needle jets on cheap seats, repeatedly praised in owner reviews for sensitive users
- ✓Heated seat with adjustable levels plus warm wash covers the two features that actually convert bidet skeptics
- ✓A decade-plus of field history: the failure modes are known, parts channels exist, and 1,600+ reviews hold a solid 4.3
- ✓Round and elongated versions, and its age means constant discounting — Lowe's and FiltersFast regularly run it well under the $249 list
Cons
- ✗No dryer, full stop — the archetypal owner review: the wash is great, 'the wet feeling isn't,' and you'll still wipe to dry every time
- ✗No night light and no deodorizer — the SE400 adds both plus a dryer for about $60 more, which is why most shoppers walk up the ladder
- ✗The small tank delivers a set amount of warm water, then switches to cold mid-wash until it re-heats — the rudest version of the tank-seat problem
- ✗Only three pressure levels with a modest ceiling; strong-pressure fans will find it inadequate
- ✗A 2012-era design: the body is tall, the plastics feel dated, and there's no eco-refinement of newer platforms
- ✗1-year warranty, and Brondell parts support prioritizes current lines — an out-of-warranty failure means replacement, not repair
- ✗Brondell's own LE99 streets within $80 with hybrid heat, a dryer, night light, and presets — the 300 only makes sense at deep discount

Brondell Swash LE89
The side-arm sibling of the Swash LE99 we track — same current-generation platform: hybrid tank-plus-instant heating for an extended warm wash, heated seat, five-level warm-air dryer, blue night light, and a stainless nozzle with a genuinely strong wash mode. What you give up versus the LE99 is the wireless remote and saved user presets; what you save is $50-75 at street, with deal sites like Woot flushing it out at $169.99. No deodorizer anywhere in the LE line.

Brondell Swash CL1700
Brondell's Costco-exclusive luxury seat — you won't find it anywhere but Costco stores and Costco.com, currently $249.99 after an instant discount off the $399.99 regular price. It's essentially a cost-reduced Swash 1400: same instant ceramic heating with endless warm water (hot in about 10 seconds), programmable remote with two user presets and a dock, warm-air dryer, carbon deodorizer, and night light — but a single stainless nozzle instead of the 1400's dual wands, and a 1-year warranty instead of three.

Brondell Swash SE600
A zombie best-seller: Brondell officially discontinued the SE600 (its successor, the DS725, has itself since died), yet it's still stocked at Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot and still tops Amazon's bidet-seat charts on price-per-feature. For roughly $270 you get a wireless remote, heated seat, warm-air dryer, deodorizer, night light, and oscillating stainless nozzle — a feature list that embarrasses $400 seats, attached to a tank heater and a warranty clock that's already ticking on a dead product line.
Brondell
Brondell Swash SE400
Brondell's mid-range tank-heated seat and the side-arm sibling of the remote-control SE600. You get the full comfort stack — heated seat, warm wash, warm-air dryer, night light, oscillating stainless nozzle with pulse massage — minus the remote and deodorizer, run from an arm panel at your hip. Walmart lists it at $299.99 and it routinely streets $250-280, undercutting Brondell's own LE99 when the LE99 isn't on coupon. A proven 2017-era platform, not current-generation engineering.
Brondell
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.
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.
