Brondell Swash 300

Model S300-EW

Warm wateryes
Needs an outletyes
Heated seatyes

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.

Approx. price

~$219

Best for First-timers who want warm water, a heated seat, and a remote at the absolute minimum spend — and already know they'll wipe dry.

What owners like

+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 a decade of owner reviews hold steady
+Round and elongated versions, and its age means constant discounting — Lowe's and FiltersFast regularly run it well under the $249 list

Common complaints

−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

Questions buyers ask

Does it have a dryer?

No, full stop — the archetypal owner review says the wash is great but 'the wet feeling isn't,' and you'll wipe to dry every time. The SE400 adds a dryer plus a night light for about $60 more, which is why most shoppers walk up the ladder.

What happens when the warm water runs out?

The small tank delivers a set amount of warm water, then switches to cold mid-wash until it reheats — the rudest version of the tank-seat problem. If that would ruin the experience, budget for a hybrid or tankless seat instead.

Why buy a design this old?

It's the cheapest path to a wireless remote in a name-brand seat — everything else at this price is side-panel only — and a decade-plus of field history means known failure modes and a decade of owner reviews holding steady. Its age also means constant discounting well under the $249 list.

Is the spray gentle enough for sensitive users?

Yes — the aerated spray feels softer and wider than the needle jets on cheap seats and gets praised for exactly that in owner reviews. The flip side: only three pressure levels with a modest ceiling, so strong-pressure fans will find it inadequate.

Does it fit round bowls, and what about the nozzle setup?

Both round and elongated versions exist. Unusually for the price, it uses dual dedicated nozzles — separate rear and front wands — a hygiene layout even the $349 Toto S2 doesn't offer.

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.

Heating: Hybrid Heater
Control: Side Control Panel

Warranty: 1-year limited

Hybrid Warm Water
LE99 Minus The Remote

Best for Value hunters who want the LE99's modern heater and dryer but consider a remote a gimmick worth skipping.

Brondell / Electric Bidet Seat

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.

Heating: Tankless
Control: Wireless Remote

Warranty: 1-year limited

Costco Exclusive
Endless Warm Water
$250 Tankless

Best for Costco members, full stop — no other channel sells endless warm water, a remote, and presets anywhere near $250.

Brondell / Electric Bidet Seat

Brondell Swash SE600

A best-seller that keeps getting reported dead: its planned successor, the DS725, came and went, and retailers periodically list the SE600 as discontinued — yet Brondell still sells it new on its own site at a $399.99 list, and Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot stock it for roughly $270–340. For that money 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 platform Brondell is plainly not investing in.
