After surgery for colon cancer, it was imperative I find a way to gently and thoroughly clean my behind without additional irritation. The Brondell bidet was perfect. Using the remote control at first was a bit confusing, but practice made perfect. Adjusting water temperature depending on how I'm feeling for the day, and also being able to adjust the amount of water in the spray, as well as three spray settings, made all the difference. Why bidets are not default installations in US bathrooms is still a mystery to me. Delay the purchase no longer!!

We received our Brondell Swash 1000 on 9/15 and my husband installed in on 9/16 today is 9/19. I mention these dates as we have only been using the bidet for 4 days and I can already tell you that I don't know how I lived without it. I have medical issues that cause me to be on the toilet many times a day. To have the comfort of a warm seat, to be able to spray clean and warm dry are like gifts from heaven. I am ecstatic to have this product. Yay!!

I've had my 1000 for over 5 years. I purchased my Brondell about 8 years ago. I left my first unit in my home when I sold it. It was working fine but the new owner wanted me to leave it. I was looking for an excuse to upgrade. The hand held remote plus the extra features were well worth it to me. I know this sounds silly but until you use a bidet you don't know what your missing. In the past (happily divorced) my female friends want to take my Brondell when we go our separate ways. But I won't give it up.

Compared with two other branded bidet seats I’ve purchased in the past, the Swash 1000 was the easiest installation I have experienced thus far. The remote and features are simple and friendly to operate and it’s been a “splash” with my guests. The only inconvenience I have with this product is how to hide the extension cord and electrical plug for aesthetics. Other than this factor, I am very content with this bathroom upgrade.

I did a ton of research on bidet seats before deciding on the Brondell S1000. I considered the Toto S350, the Bio Bidet BB-1000, and the Brondell S1400, but ultimately decided what I wanted were the basics: a bidet that cleans and dries well and is easy to install, without all the bells and whistles such as nightlights, toilet lids that open automatically, and seats that spray the toilet bowl as you approach, and the S1000 fit the bill. I was not thrilled at first, though. I am a fastidious wiper, using wet toilet paper to wipe until I see no brown, so I expected the bidet to do a perfect job. So, imagine my disappointment when, after the drying cycle, I did a check with toilet paper and discovered light-brown spots in the paper. Darn! “I am returning this thing,” I said. After calming down, however, and reading an online review that detailed how you must “relax” to achieve better results, and calling Brondell Customer Service, I decided to change the way I used it. Instead of just sitting there, enjoying the warm spray (I REALLY do!), I rock back and forth ever so slightly, guiding the spray over the whole area, while also using the Move function. And, viola! The TP checks have been coming up clean as a whistle most of the time, so, hopefully, I’ll someday have the confidence to eschew toilet paper altogether. My usage, in fact, has gone down dramatically. I haven’t changed the roll for a month! So, all in all, I am very happy with the S1000, despite the occasional brown/beige water spot. My mornings are much happier, and I actually look forward to the whole pooping experience, start to — ahhhh — finis

I wish I had bought one of these years ago. As an older man, I spend more time on the toilet than I did years ago. It feels as if I had showered after every use and it took only 4 minutes with no squeegee of glass or towel needed. For those who have had skid mark problems, consider yourself emancipated with this seat.

I was scheduled for a multi-level spinal fusion and had a lot of anxiety about toileting after surgery as I was not supposed to bend or twist for 3 months. A coworker mentioned that her brother in CA uses a Swash because of hemroids. We checked it out on youtube and inbetween falling off our chairs laughing, I was convinced this was going to be the best option for me after surgery. I ordered the Swash 1000 for the newest features, like the dryer and move feature. What a relief to a person who has mobility problems or has had surgery. No one wants to have to ask a spouse or family member to do that for you. The Swash 1000 works so well that I even shared my find with my surgeon's office so they could let other patients know that they have opyions yo keep their dignity

Having had rectal cancer surgery some time back, I was looking for a solution to help reduce/eliminate the need for wet wiping and stop abrasions. I wish I had discovered this years ago. Having non-stop warm water wash over you without limit was a must but the warming seat takes the cake. It's hard to imagine all this tech under the seat hinge so elegantly hidden away. Once we move into a new home, each toilet is getting one!

I took delivery of this bidet today and was excited to check it out. My travels in Japan, where bidets are everywhere, convinced me it’s a much more civilized way to clean than paper. I’m a big guy so I was a bit nervous about the build quality. But it seems quite sturdy. All the functions worked perfectly, and the rear nozzle was perfectly positioned for my body - no fine adjustment required. I did like the oscillation function, though - seems like it would provide more thorough cleaning. The installation was easy and relatively quick. I had to reposition the mounting bracket a few times to fit my toilet, though. Great job with this product, Brondell!

I am having shoulder sergery so it is going to be difficult for me to finish going to the bathroom. I was told to purchase a bidet that this would solve my problem. I bought the swash 1000. This took care of my needs and then some. What a great product. I never considered a bidet because of the price and being a man, I felt it was something I really didn't need. Now after owning one I wish I would have bought one long ago. I was concerned about there being enough water presure to throughly clean me back there. I have no complaints with the adiquate water presure doing the job now that I have used the bidet. The key is the adjustible noze, the constant warm water temp. and the wide spray. The swash 1000 meets all those needs. Other reviewers here have noted that the dryer was inadiquate. It works perfactly and does a good job. Adjusting the air temp. is the key to the bidet drying up all of the moisture. I am very pleased with this product. I was looking at a cheaper Brondell model to buy but I am glad I went with the swash 1000 instead because of it's features, they all work very well!!
