We bought and had our Brondell Swash 1000 bidet seat 18 months ago. It seemed like a splurge for us. From then on, we very much feel this is a must--have for any home or home-remodeling we may undertake. It is a great appliance, vey functional, always reliable ... and makes for interesting conversation with friends. I probably could sell these units with my enthusiasm alone for it. I miss it when I am not at home!
