I can't believe I've lived without a Swash for so long! My wife and I really love this toilet seat. I first used an automatic toilet seat at a friend's house, and after getting over the novelty of it, determined to find the best one on the market. The Brondell Swash 700 is awesome - we couldn't be happier with the product overall. If your debating whether this is a luxury purchase (i.e. d you really need it?), the answer is YES. First, its way more hygienic than just using toilet paper. Every time I leave the bathroom, I feel like I just stepped out of the shower. Also, no more pain from excessive wiping - that's more than a luxury after a bit too much Italian or Mexican food - its a necessity. Second, the heated seat pleases my wife to no end. Our bathroom gets chilly in the fall & winter - with the heated seat, she no longer winces when her "delicates" touch down on the warm comfort of our Swash.As for quality, I have absolutely no complaints. The Swash is sturdy (feels solid all around), and its got a pretty thin footprint. I thought it would be much bulkier, but it really fits beautifully on our existing toilet. Our bathroom is fairly small, but the seat blends in well and doesn't seem out of place. Also, the remote control is cool - you certainly don't need to use it from across the room, but it allows you to mount the controls in a place that's easy to reach and view. I think some models have the controls mounted on the side of the seat, but I like having them at eye level when seated.Installation is pretty straight forward and you really don't need any professional help. The directions are straight forward, and I installed it in about 20 minutes. If you're not handy at all, and you think you need to hire a plumber, hire the cheapest one you can get - cause this is super simple.The only downside is that my neighbors think the Swash is so cool, that they all stop by to use our toilet. I may start charging. (kidding of course).winter - with the heated seat, she no longer winces when her

It took a medical doctor's advice before I finally purchased this unit......It has performed well so far, with only a nozzle positioning problem that I am working to solve.

This seat I think has saved my life - really!! Ok, not to be too personal here, BUT ... After my "baby" was born some 20 years ago, I finally found a way to help that delicate part of me that has been a challenge since that "blessed" day! This device is amazing in the way it cleans and the relief it provides is simply terrific! I thought I'd have to suffer the rest of my life, but every day is a joy. Friends, family and other guests have really enjoyed it too - you just feel refreshed!! Now I need a portable one when I travel because I am so spoiled!! Thank you for this great device!!!

My friend Dan came back from Japan raving about these amazing toilet seats with a bide built-in he saw in luxury hotels. Within a few months I found out they were being made in the USA and purchased my first two Swash 600 from Brondell (about 2 years ago). I gave him one for his birthday which he still raves about. He was right that the warm seat is such a welcome addition particularly if your bathroom is always cold in the Fall/Winter. Once you experience the other features, you are hooked. Warm Water, Warm Air Dryer, Pressure, Heat, and two different positions for women, one for men. You will love feeling cleaner after each use not to mention all the toilet paper you will save! To me, every toilet in the future will be like this, so I always have my friends try them when they visit me. 2 weeks later I usually get a call to ask where can I get one. So happy to see them at Overstock now. Get one!

Besides my cats this is this the only other item that is non-negotiable, non-removable in my condo.
