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.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The cheapest endless-warm-water seat in America when discounted: $249.99 gets instant ceramic heating that the $299-street LE99 (hybrid, finite) and $349 Toto S2 can't match on duration
- ✓Programmable remote with two per-user presets plus a wall dock — preset recall is a $479 Swash 1400 feature elsewhere
- ✓Automatic carbon deodorizer engages the moment you sit; the entire sub-$300 LE line omits deodorizers entirely
- ✓Costco's famously liberal return policy functions as an informal extended warranty that outclasses the paper 1-year coverage
- ✓Nearly 4,000 Costco reviews give it a real-world track record most 'exclusive channel' products lack
- ✓Stainless self-cleaning nozzle, blue night light, and sub-30-minute install round out a spec sheet with no obvious holes
Cons
- ✗Costco-exclusive: no membership, no seat — and warranty service routes through Brondell while returns route through Costco, which confuses owners
- ✗Single 2-in-1 nozzle where the Swash 1400 runs separate rear and front stainless wands — the biggest hardware cut from the flagship
- ✗1-year warranty versus the 1400's 3-year tiered coverage — Brondell knows which seat is the flagship
- ✗The 4.1-star average (vs 4.4 for the 1400) is dragged down by recurring remote-reliability and dead-unit complaints in Costco reviews
- ✗The warm-air dryer is widely panned as weaker than most — 'weaker than most' is a direct quote from the review consensus
- ✗Regular price is $399.99 — at full freight the calculus changes and a discounted Swash 1400 or Bio Bidet BB-1000 becomes the better buy

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 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 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.

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.
