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

I absolutely love my new Brondell Swash 1000 Bidet Seat. It was easy to install, and it works as expected, including the dryer. I love and use the oscillating feature of the nozzle. The positioning of the nozzles is correct - I had almost no change in the position. This may be TMI, so this is my warning. I have a history of ulcerative colitis, a Jpouch, and now Crohn's. This makes living with the Jpouch and Crohn's sooooooo much easier. With the bidet seat I no longer get the dreaded butt burn, and rarely do I get itching. If I'm constipated, the bidet wash helps to move things along. For someone with my issues, this is a godsend. It is soooooo wonderful. My brother has one as well. He absolutely loves his as well, even though he doesn't have Crohn's or a Jpouch. And by the way, I'm saving a lot in that I no longer use the Calmoseptine, and I use much less toilet paper. This is a must have for me.

I have Cerebral Palsy. Got Rifton HTS on October 28th. I Also got Brondell 1000. It took little while figured it out. I chose Brondell 1000 so we could turn seat sensor off. I had 450 swash before. I knew that model wouldn’t work with my new rolling shower chair with opening real commode Rifton HTS. Brondell staff warned me it may splash with gab between. After I showed them the article with Etac chair and Coway Ba13 bidet which Brondell 1000 was built from that. They were right, so we lowered the Rifton HTS chair, I made sure the nozzle stayed back and water pressure low from the remote. It worked out better that. With practice I think bidets like Brondell 1000 can make difference independence for physical disabilities who need toilet chairs for support! We ordered bowl adapter and splash guard were hoping prevent water leaking. Also ordered open rear seat pad, since got no hole seat pad and it hurts to sit hard plastic seat to use bathroom. The Water leaking improved after When I got open rear seat it help align the bottom correctly that water spray aim right spot from Brondell 1000! Accessories bow adapter and splash guard did prevent the water leaking from bidet! Bowl adapter is for if Rifton HTS didn’t match toilet bowl line up correctly especially if you have size large Rifton HTS which I do. I noticed I get more effect with water when raise footrest up slightly. I think my research turned out to be success it can be used with Brondell 1000!

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 purchased my Swash 1000 Bidet Seat about a month ago after the previous Bidet broke, It was not a Swash...So glad I checked out Swash 1000, has amazing features, does exactly what it says it will do and I installed it myself...I am a 73 year old woman. I actually look forward to those times I need to use it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product works great, but what I think is lacking is a "how to" or "tips for new users". I am a bidet newbie, and I had to google for tips. This led me to info for short users. Before I had this information, I thought the product was flawed.

We bought and installed a SWASH 1000 my life has been changed forever!! I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for a couple of years, I had to give up all spices foods forever due to the flare ups that I would suffer from, but ever since I started using the bidet seat I haven't had anymore hemorrhoid flare ups NOT ONCE! I don't want to make a miracle claim but this does improve your hygiene and cleans you better than all the toilet paper in the world can. Also what a join to come in and sit down on a warm seat no more cold shocks in the morning, and did I mention the dryer? Yes you literally will never use your hands again in the toilet not only will it thoroughly wash your butt but it will also dry it.........how great is that? Sorry to gush about my toilet seat but if you get one you will know what a great pleasure it is.

I bought my Brondell Swash 1000 Bidet Seat a month ago. I glory in the luxury and realize that all the royal princes, kings, queens and princesses never had something like this. In a cold wintery day, a warm toilet seat is something only dreamed of in the past. And add to that the ability to leave the toilet feeling clean- it is something out of fiction lore. But this Swash 1000 Bidet seat does it all. Warm seat, and then choose front or rear cleansing and a flow of gentle warmed water cleans and you then press stop and dry. You leave feeling entirely clean and ready to greet the world!!! We also have the Toto washlet which we bought about 5 years ago. This is just as good and costs half as much! The Brondell seat has an eco setting so you are not wasting electricity. It only heats up when you sit on the seat! I highly recommend this for someone who wants to feel pampered! It does just that.

Swash1000 is definitely a great product if it is working. My Swash1000 was working great and no complain for 2 weeks. Then suddenly, the rear cleansing somehow stopped working! you press and no response. Then the next day the font cleansing stopped! What's left? the dry air. I restarted the machine many times and followed the troubleshoot in the user manual. Finally, I was grateful that the store took it back and returned my money. I am very hesitant now to buy Brondell! However, I am not able to find other brands in local stores here in Montreal. For this reason I am considering to give Brondell Swash1000 another chance in case the company stands strong behind their 3 years guaranty. If Brondell is will to return or exchange their defective product within their 3 years waranty, then I might try to buy it again.

We knew it was a great piece of equipment by reading reviews but two things surprised us. The first was just how easy it was to install ourselves. The second surprise was how sensually pleasing it is to be cleaned by water than with paper. It may be better for you to be cleaned this way but seldom are the things that are 'better for you' also more enjoyable - but this is!
