- Installation was easy, no extra parts were needed. The cord is fairly short so plan for a high quality extension if the plug is further than 3 or so feet away.
- The unit is very attractive until you get to the electric cord on one side and the water tube on the other. The water tube sticks out a significant amount.
- Most helpful product for everyone, wish I'd known about it years ago! Great for elderly family members as well as those with physical disabilities having difficulty keeping clean. Easy to install and operate, can't live without it now, one feels totally clean.
- Nozzle cleaning is not good. It cannot clean the build up with that function.
- Accomplishes the task, but not quite as well as I had hoped. Water pressure and nozzle position could both be a little better.
- Very easy to install, basically an electrical outlet. Be sure to get the elongated size.
- Swash has separate stainless steel wands for each nozzle. Stainless steel is generally accepted as being more hygienic and resistant to bacteria than plastic, and the separate wand for front and back wash also seems more hygienic.
- The stainless nozzles are a big plus as well. The remote is more user friendly in my opinion, along with having a magnetic mounting bracket option. Not to mention that the Brondell is a bit less expensive. A great product overall, and I prefer the Brondell over the Toto.
- The negative is that the "female's nozzle" does not extend far enough forward to wash the front area. This really is just for the back.
- I loved this for the short period of time it worked properly. Then the rear nozzle stopped extending fully. No problem, use the front and shift a little. Until it stopped extending. I got down there and saw that minerals from our hard water had accumulated on the nozzles.
- Functionally, it is more than adequate. I feel very clean after using it.
- With the Swash, I really feel cleaned after using the toilet. Without it, I feel like I'm just smearing stuff around with toilet paper and don't get clean again until my next shower.
- This seat was simple to install. It works great, leaves me feeling very clean. Its settings make it highly customizable, position, width, pressure, and temperature, no sharp or harsh jets unless thats what you want, nozzles each have several positions, no acrobatics required to get clean.
- The cleaning action is highly adjustable and lasts about two minutes unless ended earlier using the remote. Water temp, jet strength and width are all easily changed via the remote.
- Not for someone who is in a hurry. The sprayer takes about 8 seconds to start and the manual recommends 2 minutes for the cleaning cycle.
- While this model bidet has dual nozzles that claim to efficiently clean both female front and unisex rear parts, the nozzle did not in any way reach properly the female front parts. I adjusted and readjusted and tried the different settings, but with no luck. The rear one worked fine.
- Two separate nozzles for front and rear washing (Toto doesn't have this). Strong spray but you can go softer too.
- This does everything you can imagine and more. Temperature controlled, move water jet to where you need it, deodorize, you name it.
- I love that you can move the nozzle all around so it's hitting the right spot (male or female). It's amazing.
- The "front" cleanse for women is like an assault on such delicate flesh. I simply cannot use this feature, even at the lowest setting.
- Even with adjustable nozzle, frontal wash doesn't reach as far as it could so you need to scoot back to make it work.
- Drier sits off to side - doesn't dry even on hottest setting. You would need a drier nozzle like the sprayer nozzle for adequate drying to take place.
- Wide range of pressures, patterns and temperatures.
- Installation was easy and straightforward, and the seat itself is solid and comfortable. The remote control is easy to use.
- Excellent adjustments for spray temperature, intensity and direction, as well as seat warmth.
- The infra-red controller (like a TV remote) can be installed at any conveniently-reachable nearby wall or cabinet, without having to run wires.
- Much like modern TVs, some of the device settings are dependent on the remote.
- On the highest spray pressure, the water heater can only keep the temperature warm instead of hot.
- Water temperature is good, there is a second of room temperature water when you start but i've experienced that on other bidets.
- Gets you very clean, all temperatures are adjustable (heated seat, water), nozzles are adjustable forward and back and also oscillate, wide or narrow spray, it drys, remote control, took about 45 minutes to install with clear directions.
- Adjustable pressure and width of spray. The up and down auto movement bidet function.
- Water pressure, even on the highest setting is too weak for me. I've experienced Toto and their water pressure in the medium range was stronger than Swash at its highest.
- Dryer takes too long (keep a dry wash cloth or hand towel nearby to finish up)
- This is a nice Bidet. However, the water pressure was not adequate for my needs. My only issue was the water pressure.
- The "Eco Mode" blue LED works as a bonus night-light.
- There is a sensor that detects when someone is going to use the toilet and primes itself for use.
- The nozzle is self-cleaning, which is the extra sound you will hear at the end of each use.
- This is also a slow closing device so the seat and the lid will not slam down at any time.
- I have owned a Brondell 550 for the past six years and loved it. It recently quit and I purchased this 900 model to replace it. The 900 model was also easy to install and has even more features than the 550 model.
- Decent price for what is definitely a high-end unit, nozzle adjustments (forward/back), continuous warm water (never turns cooler), and a lid that you can sit on (most bidets don't have this).
- Effective wand sterilizer and deodorizes well.
- Can take heavier weight folks (more weight than Toto).
- The constant hot water is nive and the seat warmer is as well. The two nozzles are nice the remote is comfy to hold.
- Oscillating water nozzle (Move button) needs to have more back and forth range. You will end up shifting around on the seat anyway.
