Brondell Swash 1400 vs Bio Bidet Bliss BB 2000. Which is the Better Bidet Seat?

If you are looking to buy a decent bidet toilet seat and are torn between the Brondell Swash 1400 and Bio Bidet BB 2000, your dilemma is well founded. These 2 bidet seats are among the best in the market, and deciding which one to buy over the other is not easy.

Both the Brondell Swash 1400 and Bio Bidet BB 2000 come loaded with features, some great and some total marketing gimmicks. The purpose of writing this post is to help you discern what to consider and what to ignore.

Brondell Swash 1400 is made in the USA by Brondell, which is headquartered in San Francisco, California.  Brondell was founded in 2003 by Dave Samuel after being greatly impressed by the electronic bidet seats in Japan through a trip he had made to Tokyo in 1990 with his father.

They have been making bidet toilet seats since then, but the Brondell Swash 1400 is their latest and obviously best offering.

Bio Bidet BB 2000 is also made in the USA by BioBidet, which is headquartered in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Their “Water does it better” slogan should tell you how much they despise toilet paper.

They do not have as many bidet seat models as Brondell, which is not surprising since the company was founded later, in 2008. They, however, have a smart toilet, the Prodigy smart toilet.

Brondell Swash 1400 has a dual stainless steel nozzle, offers an adjustable spray width, sittable lid, 2 user presets, a removable deodorizer, and an instant heating system. Unlike it, the Bio Bidet BB 2000 has a 3-in-1 stainless steel nozzle that offers a pulsating wash, enema wash, and a hybrid heating system.

Brondell Swash 1400 Vs. Bio Bidet BB 2000

So how does the Brondell Swash 1400 compare against the Bio Bidet BB 2000? Which one is the best? Let us look at some of their main differences.

Appearance

• The Brondell Swash 1400 has a somewhat curved lid and is all white in color, while the Bio Bidet Bliss BB 2000 has a flat lid with a silver trim (pearlescent finish) at the top of the in-built water tank.
• Brondell Swash 1400’s power cord and water line are connected on its left-hand side. It has a pocket that helps to conceal where they attach to the seat. The Bio Bidet’s water line is connected on its left side, while the power cord is connected to its right side.
• Each of these units has a black remote control sensor at the back of the seat, with the Brondell Swash 1400s located at the back center position while that of the Bio Bidet BB 2000 is located at the left top position.

The Nozzles

Both these bidet seats use stainless steel nozzles. These are effective in deterring the adherence of waste/germs.

The main difference between the Brondell Swash 1400 and the Bio Bidet BB 2000 is that the Brondell Swash 1400 uses 2 nozzles while the Bio Bidet BB 2000 uses a 3-in-1 single nozzle.

Each of these bidet seat’s nozzle offers posterior and feminine wash functions, which are popularly known as front and rear washes. With the Brondell Swash 1400, the longer nozzle is the one dedicated to the feminine wash, while in the Bio Bidet BB 2000, the front and wider hole does the job, albeit gentler than the posterior wash.

All the nozzles can be adjusted backward or forward to clean over a wide area, which is also helpful in accommodating people of different sizes. The Brondell Swash 1400 nozzles can be adjusted through 7 different positions, which is the highest in the industry.

 Another common feature between the 2 bidet seats is the adjustable water temperature and pressure, as well as the temperature of the air dryer.

If you need to clean over a bigger surface area, both of these bidet seats offer the oscillating wash. An oscillation wash is when the bidet nozzle moves back and forth in quick succession. This is possible with either the rear or the front wash.

Each of the 2 nozzles in the Brondell Swash 1400 has a single hole. You can opt to have a stronger narrow spray or a wider but weaker spray to clean over a wider area. This feature is absent in the Bio Bidet BB 2000’s posterior wash but present in the feminine wash.

A feature that is present in the Bio Bidet BB 2000 but absent in the Brondell Swash 1400 is the pulsating/massage wash. This is when the water spray alternates between strong and weak streams, creating a sensational massage feeling. The oscillation and pulsating washes can run concurrently.

The 3^rd hole in the Bio Bidet BB 2000’s 3-in-1 nozzles is their patented vortex stream enema wash. This wash provides a very strong and narrow whirling water stream that is very effective in relieving constipation. Enema wash is also absent in the Brondell Swash 1400.

Although both these seats offer decent water spray pressures, the Bio Bidet BB 2000 goes a notch higher. As a matter of fact, it has 30% more water pressure than the Brondell Swash 1400. In actual numbers, Bio Bidet BB 2000’s output is 0.7 liters per minute against that of Brondell Swash 1400’s 0.5 liters per minute operating at their maximum settings.

Both the Brondell Swash 1400 and Bio Bidet BB 2000 nozzles are self-cleaning. Brondell Swash 1400 bidet seat nozzle, however, goes a step further to provide an on-demand self-sterilization feature where the nozzles can be sterilized at any time using silver nanoparticles.

Heating System.

As soon as you are done doing the job in the toilet, your next mission is to get properly cleaned with warm water if you have an electronic bidet seat. There are people who like it brief, while some prefer to extend the session way after they are already clean.

Some bidet toilet seats come with an inbuilt warm water tank, while some are tankless with an instant water heating system. Each of these systems has, in the past and some present, posed a challenge to manufacturers and the users.

Bidet toilet seats with an inbuilt tank offer readily available warm water, but the flow is time-constrained to about 30 to 40 seconds. That is enough time for most to clean up, but not for some. This system is also not energy efficient as it keeps heating the water throughout the day whenever it becomes cooler.

Tankless bidet toilet seats have an instant heating system, but you cannot always guarantee that the initial stream of water will be warm. Some people have received unpleasant cold water shocks, which is not what you sign up for while buying a bidet seat. A high-end one, for that matter.

Brondell Swash 1400 uses an instant water heater, therefore guaranteeing you an endless supply of warm water. The good thing is that it has no cold water shocks but has a little lag time.

Bio Bidet Bliss BB 2000 uses a hybrid water heating system. It, therefore, features a water reservoir at the back to supply you with hot water with no lag time, and as soon as the water in the reservoir is used up, the instant water heater kicks in. This system is, however, not energy efficient.

Nightlight

LED nightlight is very important while using the bathroom at night. Instead of turning on the bright bathroom lights, which may contribute to sleep loss, a blue light on the toilet guides you to precisely where the toilet is.

In the Brondell Swash 1400, the nightline illuminates the entire bowl, while in the Bio Bidet BB 2000, the nightlight is only in the backup seat controls.

Remote Controls

Both of these bidet seats have a wireless remote control. The Brondell Swash 1400’s remote comes in white and has no screen. An LED light, however, comes up with every button you press.

Bio Bidet BB 1400’s remote control comes in either white or black; hence, you choose the one that best complements your bathroom décor. This remote control has an LCD screen and is bigger and thicker than the one from Brondell.

A feature present in the Brondell Swash 1400 but absent in the Bio Bidet BB 2000 is the user presets. A user preset allows you to select and save your preferred bidet settings so you don’t have to select them every time you use the toilet.

The Brondell Swash 1400 has 2 user presets, while the Bio Bidet BB 2000 has none. This is a great feature if the toilet is mostly shared between 2 partners.

Weight Capacity

Both of these seats will comfortably accommodate most people. The Bio Bidet BB 2000 is however better for heavy people with its slightly wider seat and a weight capacity of 450 pounds. Brondell Swash 1400 has a weight capacity of 300 pounds.

In contrast to that, the Brondell Swash 1400 offers a sittable lid, while the Bio Bidet does not. If you regularly like to sit on a toilet lid even when not using a toilet, then the Brondell Swash bidet seat is a great option for you.

Warranty.

Both of these bidet seats come with a 3-year warranty effective from the day of purchase. It is, however, important to make sure that you buy the bidet seat while it is brand new and from an authorized dealer.

While the Bio Bidet BB 2000 offers a full 3-year warranty, Brondell Swash offers a limited (declining) warranty with 100% full coverage in the first year, 75% partial warranty in the second year, and 50% partial warranty in the third year.

At an extra charge, Brondell Swash 1400 will offer you a 5-year full warranty. You can also pay an extra charge to get a full 6-year warranty with Bio Bidet BB 2000 bidet seat.

Other Common Features

Apart from the differences we have seen, Brondell Swash 1400 and Bio Bidet BB 2000 bidet seats share the following similar features.

Soft close Seat Lid

Both the Brondell Swash 1400 and Bio Bidet BB 2000 have a soft/slow closing seat and lid feature. This helps to eliminate the irritating sound of a toilet seat slamming on the bowl and will also help in its durability.

These seats, however, do not have an auto closing and opening lid. An auto opening and closing seat lid gives you a complete hands-free operation. Currently, that feature is only available in the Toto Washlet S550E bidet seat.

Air Deodorizer

To take care of any unpleasant smell lingering in the air after using the toilet, both of these bidet toilet seats have an air deodorizer; therefore, the bathroom keeps smelling fresh. This feature is not the same as masking odors with fragrances.

To keep its air deodorizer at peak performance, Brondell Swash 1400 uses a replaceable carbon-block filter. You can replace it after every 6 months or whenever desired.

Heated Seat

Using a toilet on a cold winter morning can be a dreadful experience. Getting outside of a warm bed to sit on a freezing toilet seat is not ideal at all. You need a transition.

Both of these bidet seats, therefore, provide a heated seat experience to take care of that problem. I, however, noticed that the Brondell Swash 1400 does a better job heating the seat than the Bio Bidet BB 2000.

This is not surprising as the Brondell LumaWarm is considered the best-heated toilet seat. It probably, perhaps, is a Brondell specialty.

In summary, let us look at why you should buy one bidet seat over the other.
