Brondell Swash SE600 Bidet Seat Review

July 16, 2018 by @elioverbey

Pledge your vassalage to the new king of sub-$300 bidets.

Check the insanely low price of the Brondell SE600 here.

Oscillation, pulsation, a warm-air dryer and a deodorizer?!

All that in addition to the old stand-bys of heated seats and water – The Brondell Swash SE600 has it all.

Brondell is aggressively trying it’s best to enter the new class of “luxury-budget” bidets. Bidets bristling with features, yet unbelievably cheap for all they offer.

Other notable entries in this class are the wonderful Novita Slimline, the true king of budget friendly bidets (although more than $300), the TOTO C100, and the stalwart lil trooper, the SmartBidet SB-110.

Big Features, Small Price

The Brondell Swash SE600 is, in my opinion outclassing almsot all other bidets in its price bracket of $200-300.

It does this by bringing features usually reserved for the $350+ clique.

What Brondell has done here is bring two features that were normally a “this or that” scenario in the land of budget bidets, and opted to include both while also not foregoing any of the cleaning functions. Including both the deodorizer and warm air dryer was a big surprise as a good number of bidets in this price range will sport a dryer, however the Brondell Swash SE600 is the first I’ve seen to also include a deodorizer.

Previously, the TOTO C100 was the lowest entry point someone could find both in.

There’s also a night light and a more surprisingly a pulsating cleanse mode which I’m a huge fan of and you just don’t often see in most budget bidets save for those by Bio Bidet who I’ve always admired for that.

Lookin’ Sleek There, Slick

Another area where Brondell consistently shines is their approach to bidet design. Never too flashy and always appealing. Brondell have stuck to a clean, modern motif for their bidets, most similar to TOTO who always keeps things muted and sensible.

The SE600 also packs a remote instead of an attached side panel design. This further slims the unit down to help provide that bathroom synergy that makes every excursion to the toilet a dream you don’t want to wake up from.

In the end, this bidet from Brondell is the best you’re going to find for less than $300.

It heralds the beginning of the market dominance by the cheaper, better bidets of tomorrow.

The Best Brondell Bidets

April 4, 2018 by @elioverbey

Oh, Brondell. I’d sing an ode to your bidets if I weren’t a bidet disguised as a human who writes about bidets and therefore unable to sing.

Brondell has been in the competitive bathroom scene since 2003 and since then has become one of the most well-know bidet and toilet makers.

Let’s take a lil peek at their best bidets so far in 2020.

Brondell Swash 1400

Biscuit on the left, white on the right.

Brondell’s top of the line bidet still ranks as its best. With one of the most beautiful shapes and ominous yet wise looking sensor areas, the Brondell Swash 1400 is one of the best looking bidets around.

In fact, I love this bidet so much, they used to call me Big Swash Dude or BROdell back in high school.

The reasons I love the Swash 1400 bidet are two-fold.

First, and most obviously, are the features

The Brondell Swash 1400 has dual steel nozzles and a warm air dryer which can both be seen here.

There are all the features one could expect of a high-end bidet and even a few more.

For example, the Brondell Swash 1400 lets you control the width of the spray – meaning that you can choose from a concentrated, narrow spray to a wide, softer spray.

There is also a little dash of sci-fi in the nozzle. It is sterilized by silver nano-particles which literally rip bacteria and viruses apart. Intense. Metal.

The dryer is quite effective, as is the deodorizer – which, thank God, can be replaced easily, as needed.

Oh! And I almost forgot to mention the two programmable user settings.

The Swash 1400 certainly makes it pretty darn easy to clean yer ass.

The second reason the Swash 1400 bidet reigns supreme is its looks.

I’m a sucker for night lights and the Brondell Swash 1400 has a glorious one.

While it isn’t doing anything necessarily mind-blowing/avant garde (nobody is asking for an avant garde bidet…yet), it checks all the right boxes as far as style goes.

Resembling other bidets in Brondell’s lineup, the Swash 1400 has sexy lines, and a hinge that frames the area which houses the guts that make this bidet tick.

The shape of the seat conforms nicely to most any batoot, and the hidden rear pocket stows away the unsightly power cables and water lines, leading to a sleek, minimal look.

Speaking of sleek and minimal, the Swash 1400 is thin, due mostly to its use of a ceramic core heating system which instantly heats water on-demand and forgoes the need for a large water reservoir system.

When push comes to shove, the Brondell Swash 1400 is the best bidet easily available in the USA. I’m a huge fan.

Next up is actually a very similar bidet, but in the neighborhood of $200 less.

Brondell Swash 1000

See up to the minute pricing HERE.

The Brondell Swash 1000 is quite similar to the Brondell Swash 1400. They both share a ceramic core instant water heating system, oscillating dual nozzles with silver nanoparticle sterilization, a warm air dryer and a deodorizer.

If these features sound good enough, then, hey, my job is done and you can just go ahead and buy that butt buffer.

If you need a little more convincing, read on.

The features on the Brondell Swash 1000 toss it right up into the “super ultra luxury bidet” category.

As mentioned earlier, the Swash 1000 has instantaneously heated water, a warm air dryer, two stainless steel nozzles which tear bacteria and viruses apart with badass silver nanoparticles, and a deodorizer.

What The Swash 1000 lacks versus the Swash 1400 is either going to make you triumphantly shout out: “Heh! I never needed all those bells and whistles anyway. All I want is a clean booty.” OR “Ehhhh, well….. I love night lights, hidden cables, user profiles and replaceable deodorizers.”

Brondell Swash 1000 versus Brondell Swash 1400

Maybe I should have used a spoiler tag up there, but in short, the main differences between the Swash 1000 and the Swash 1400 come down to aesthetic changes.

The Swash 1000 doesn’t have a hidden compartment to clean up the look of the water and power connections.
It also doesn’t have a night light (personally, something I gotta have, but I know many couldn’t care less).
There have also been some cosmetic changes to the Swash 1400 that aren’t seen on the Swash 1000, such as contouring the base of the unit to better blend in with the toilet, creating a more seamless look.

Honestly, though, I love the look of both.

Earlier, it may have sounded like I was bashing the Swash 1000, but that’s far from the case (wouldn’t be on this list, otherwise)

In reality, many of the things it lacks ARE just extras and don’t actually directly contribute to a bidets prime directive: clean asses.

The features of the Brondell Swash 1000 are completely focused on booty blasting, posterior polishing, rear refreshing cleanliness.

This makes it a wonderful buy for those looking for a nice starter bidet that accomplishes its main goal in a satisfying and effective manner.
