Brondell Swash Thinline T44
Brondell's design flagship: at about 3.9 inches tall the Thinline T44 is the lowest-profile full-featured seat on the market, built to not look like an appliance bolted to your toilet. Instant ceramic heating delivers endless warm water, and the mountable remote carries two user presets, a five-level dryer, carbon deodorizer, and a three-color night light. Gear Diary's February 2026 review called it the slimmest, most upscale seat they'd tested. Lists at $699.99 with a 3-year warranty; specialty retailers run it near $524.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Under 4 inches tall — roughly two inches shorter than a Swash 1400 or SE600, and the only luxury seat that reads as 'nice toilet seat' rather than 'gadget' at a glance
- ✓Instant ceramic heater means genuinely endless warm water, with none of the cold-start burst the Swash 1400 is infamous for
- ✓Slimming it down cost nothing functionally: dryer, deodorizer, night light, heated seat, and stainless nozzle all survived — compare Toto's slim options which shed features
- ✓Two user presets on a mountable remote recall pressure, position, and temperatures per person
- ✓3-year limited warranty matches the Swash 1400 and triples Toto's standard coverage, with a $99 five-year extension available
- ✓Specialty bidet retailers routinely sell it at $524 against the $699.99 list — never pay list
Cons
- ✗At $699 list it's $220 over the Swash 1400, which adds a second dedicated wand — you are explicitly paying for thinness, not wash hardware
- ✗Single 2-in-1 nozzle where the 1400 gives separate rear and front wands — a hygiene step down at a price step up
- ✗Owners report a 5-10 second pause between button press and water, plus chirpy confirmation beeps you can't fully silence — grating in a $700 product
- ✗Multiple long-term owners report the lightweight remote is fragile; replacements are a support-ticket affair
- ✗Costco sells Thinline siblings (CL2200 line) for around $299 — materially the same low-profile idea at half the money if you have a membership
- ✗The low-slung body leaves less bowl clearance; heavier users and one-piece toilets with curved tanks need the fit check more than usual

How much slimmer is it really?
Then why does the cheaper Swash 1400 outclass it on paper?
Any quirks owners complain about?
Should I ever pay the $699 list price?
Does the low profile cause fit problems?

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.
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 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 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 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
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.
