BidetKing.com is proud to announce that it is adding Brondell’s new line of luxury bidet toilet seats to is inventory! Brondell is the American leader in electronic bidet seats and BidetKing.com is honored to help launch their fantastic new lineup of advanced bidet seats.

The Brondell Swash 1000 and Swash 900 are a leap forward for Brondell in terms of overall quality and craftsmanship.  Manufactured in Korea by the top-notch Coway company, the Swash 1000 and Swash 900 feature tankless on-demand water heating systems, stainless steel nozzles for hygiene, a special wide spray function, and the industry’s only lid strong enough to sit on when closed.  If you want top of the line, look no further than the Brondell Swash 1000.

Here at iHeartBidets.com, we’ve had the pleasure of testing a brand new Brondell Swash 1000 and to put it simply – we’re impressed.  The wireless remote control feel great in the hand and attractive on the wall.  The buttons are laid out in a logical manner and you never feel overloaded with functions.  The wide spray action is unique to the new Brondell Swash lineup and provides for a more complete wash area.

A common complaint that we hear from customers is that they wish they could sit on the lid of their bidet seat when it is closed, like a normal toilet seat.  Typically, this is NOT recommended for any bidet seat, but the Brondell Swash 1000 and Swash 900 have introduced the first product designed to do just that.  The lid is contoured down, close to the seat and is strong enough to support the weight of an average adult.  A very convenient feature that is often overlooked.

The wash functions on the Brondell Swash 1000 are smooth and quieter than your average bidet seat.  The seat itself is very solid and you get the sense that you are sitting on a quality piece of technology.

If you’re the type of person that values quality and craftsmanship, do yourself a favor and try the Brondell Swash 1000.  It is covered by Brondell’s 3 year limited warranty and is included in BidetKing.com’s 30 Day Risk-Free Trial program.  You simply can’t lose.

We get this question from our customers at least once a day, and so we thought we might as well post our answer here.  In short, the Clean Sense dib-1500R.  Both are both great quality bidet toilet seats that offer tremendous value over other ‘luxury’ brands that cost $1000+ .  Below you will find an actual email question from one of our customers and our subsequent answer.

——————————————————-

Customer:

I am having trouble deciding which bidet toilet seat to purchase. I think I am between Clean Sense dib 1500R&  Coco 6035R.
I think the tankless instant water heating feature would be good for us because this seat will be installed in a home we plan to retire in, so for now, it will only be used for periods of time, then unused for months.
The functions, enema, posterior&  feminine are all wanted.
Please help me decide&  explain other comparisoms between these 2 seats.

BidetKing.com:

Thank you for your inquiry.
The two seats you have chosen, the Clean Sense dib-1500R and COCO 6035R are both great seats.  In comparing the two, there are a couple of main differences:

• Clean Sense has the better heater with tank-less design.  This allows for endless warm water since it is an on-demand heater.  It’s also  more energy efficient as well, but not by much (a couple of dollars a month).
• Appearance wise, customers usually prefer the COCO, but the Clean Sense has more features, functions, and easier to use  remote.
• Enema function on the Clean Sense is second to none.  It is powerful and can be pulsated and adjusted.  The Clean Sense also has a wider range of features and control, although this does make the remote control larger.  The COCO has a enema feature known as IIP which is a pulsation function that helps relieve constipation.
• Quality and durability wise, the Clean Sense and COCO are both very good.  We have a less than 5% repair rate on both brands in the first year.

First, a little background information on Blooming Bidet.  The Blooming line of bidet toilet seats is produced by NCM Corporation in South Korea.  Blooming has been selling their electronic bidet seats successfully in Japan for years. NCM Corp. is South Korea’s largest exporter of toilet seat bidets and has been manufacturing well known brands like Sanyo for the last 20 years.  The quality of Blooming bidet seats rivals that of much more expensive Japanese brands (*achem* TOTO*achem*), but without the hefty price tag.

The previous line of Blooming bidet toilet seats, including the NB-520, NB-560, NB-570, and NB-R770, were great quality seats with a host of functions, but had 1 major flaw.  They were kind of bulky in the rear and only fit 2 piece toilets.  If you have a 2 piece toilet, great! Otherwise, you were a little SOL. Enter, the new Blooming NB-R1060.

The NB-R1060 bidet seat is such a great value because it takes all of Blooming’s wonderful features and quality and stuffs them into a beautiful, sleek package.  It rivals the COCO bidet toilet seats in terms of aesthetics and is on par with INAX, TOTO, and Japanese brands in terms of top-notch quality materials and construction. It features a very small footprint like the COCO 6035R and also has a rounded back which allows it to be installed on most 1 piece toilets – including some models with those pesky french curves.

As with all of Blooming’s toilet seat bidets, the NB-R1060 features their trademark Aluminum Coated Nozzles and Luminous LED Night Light.

If we haven’t already said that the Blooming NB-R1060 has great quality – it does.  The seat and lid are the strongest that we’ve seen on the market next to INAX.  They have a great, heavy feel to them and don’t bend when you apply lots of pressure.  We tested it by closing the seat and lid and sitting on it.  At 180lbs, I didn’t feel any “give” whatsoever.

Functionally, the Blooming NB-R1060 performs as well as any other bidet seat on the market.  The wireless remote also has a nice heavy feel to it and is easy to use. The only feature that truly stands out is its warm air dryer.  Compared to other seats on the market, the NB-R1060 has one of the strongest warm air dryers that we’ve experienced.  This is especially useful for folks with limited mobility or anyone wishing to rid themselves of toilet paper completely.  Keep in mind – it will still take up to 1-2 minutes to be fully dried.

Negatives – In testing, we found two drawbacks that may deter some folks from owning this bidet seat.  First, is the absence of an enema wash function.  The enema function is useful for folks suffering from constipation, but the NB-R1060 only has the rear wash and feminine bidet functions.  The second drawback is the lack of an inline heater / continuous heating system.  Although Blooming has suggested that it will be implementing an inline heater for this model in the future, the current NB-R1060 uses a “tank-type” heater.  This means that if you wash with warm water, the stream will begin turning cooler after 25-30 seconds of wash.  For the 90% of people who only wash for 20 seconds or less, this is a non-issue.   For others, it’s a deal breaker.  Personally, we here at iHeartBidets don’t mind it at all.  It simply signals to us that we’re clean =).

We love the Blooming NB-R1060 bidet toilet seat and think you will too.  Scroll down for some real-life pictures of the model we used to test.  Enjoy, and don’t forget to visit BidetKing.com for the best bidet deals on the internet!

1. The Clean Sense dib-1500/1500R - There’s no better value available on the market today. The Clean Sense line of advanced electronic bidet toilet seats is known for its unbeatable combination of quality and value. Their bidet seats feature energy efficient, tankless water heating systems that heat the water stream instantaneously as you begin washing. This means that the Clean Sense dib-1500 series can provide a virtually endless supply of warm water and improved energy efficiency because the heating element is not on continuously.  In the next year, you will begin seeing the rest of the Luxury bidet manufacturers moving toward this design.  Clean Sense has been doing it for 4 years.  The Clean Sense bidet seats pack all the features of $500+ brands into a $400 package. There’s a reason they remain BidetKing.com’s #1 selling bidet toilet seat. Shop Clean Sense.



2. The Bio Bidet BB-800 – As a leader in the US bidet toilet seat market for years, Bio Bidet values quality above all else.  The Bio Bidet BB-800 is a fully featured luxury bidet with the sturdiest toilet seat on the market.  Like it’s big brother, the BB-1000, the BB-800 Prestige has a thicker, heavier seat than most other bidets in its class.  The cleaning action of the Bio Bidet BB-800 is also unique in that it feels as if there’s extra aeration in the stream – very nice.  The BB-800 is priced higher than the COCO 6235 and CleanSense dib-1500 offerings with a similar list of features, but if a stronger, beefier seat is a priority for you – there’s none better.  Shop Bio Bidet.



3. The COCO 6035R - COCO bidet seats are as great a value as they are aesthetically pleasing.  Their shapely curves enhance the decor of any bathroom and their wide array of standard functions cannot be beat. Like CleanSense, COCO believes that its bidet seats should include ALL premium functions (warm air dryer, deodorizer, catch plate, energy saving mode) at affordable price points.  Compare the COCO 6035R with the Bio Bidet BB-1000 and you’ll see that for the same $499, you’re getting the added benefits of a continuous warm water supply and one touch cleansing.  Great value in a beautful package – doesn’t get much better than that.Shop COCO.

CleanSense dib-1500

When you shop for an electronic bidet toilet seat, you’re basically paying for features.  Most baseline bidet seats come with the 3 different wash modes with nozzle adjustment, adjustable water temperature, heated seat, soft-close lid, energy-saving mode, and self-cleaning nozzles.  Seats with these baseline features like the Bio Bidet BB-600, COCO 6235, and Blooming NB-520 are priced around the $400 mark.  Not a bad deal if you don’t need additional bidet functions.

Well, what if you want a warm air dryer? Or a deodorizer? Finding a bidet seat with these premium features will generally cost you another $30-$50 each depending on the brand.  For example, the Blooming NB-570 is basically the same bidet seat as the Blooming NB-520 with the addition of a warm air dryer and a deodorizer.  The price? $499.  See how it works? You’re basically paying $50 for each of these extra features when you upgrade to a higher model.  If you want a wireless remote, it’s often a $100 premium like the Bio Bidet BB-1000 and COCO 6035R.

So what does all this have to do with the CleanSense dib-1500 being the best overall value?  Simple.  The dib-1500 is packed with all the premium features, but sold at a baseline price of $398.95.  Yup.  The CleanSense dib-1500 has all the luxury bidet features you could think of (except for the wireless remote) including warm air dryer, deodorizer, and tankless water heating.  All at a price comparable to the Bio Bidet BB-600, COCO 6235, and Blooming NB-520 which only include the baseline functions.  Plus, if you want the convenience of a wireless remote, the dib-1500R model is only $40 more.  Value, indeed.

Congratulations CleanSense! The dib-1500 is truly 2009′s bidet toilet seat with the Best Overall Value.

The dib-1500R, like with most quality electronic bidet seats at the price range, is manufactured in Korea.  It is produced by the Daewon Bidet company in Incheon who has a reputation for building quality bidet seats since 1980.

The main thing to take away from the CleanSense bidet series is its unbelievable value for its price point.  The dib-1500R is currently CleanSense’s flagship bidet seat and is selling for $449.95 at our sponsor site, BidetKing.com.  If we compare its list of features with other top of the line, remote controlled bidet seats like the Bio-Bidet 1000, INAX Luscence, and COCO 6035R, we see that we are getting a great value.  Its list of features include Adjustable Nozzle Position, Seat Sensor, Seat Warmer, User Presets, Self-Diagnosis, Smart Energy Save, Detachable Main Body for Cleaning, Low Noise Motor Pump, Warm Air Dry, Deodorization, Bubble Wash, Child Settings, Pulse, and Massage Modes.

Installation of the dib-1500R was a snap.  All electronic bidet seats on the market today are pretty much installed the same way and the dib was no exception.  The mounting bracket is bolted on to the toilet mounting holes and the dib-1500R slides on for easy detach-ability.   The cleaning action of the dib-1500R’s aerated stream is nice as well.  The nozzle position and water temperature are easily adjustable and even the massage mode has different settings. The bidet function (feminine cleaning) is also very effective as the nozzle has 4 spray holes for a nice, even wash.

Another feature that sets the dib-1500R apart is the ability to program up to 4 User Presets.  What does this mean?  Well it’s comparable to luxury car seats that allow drivers to program their seat positions whenever they enter the car.  By setting your user preset, the dib-1500R will automatically adjust the nozzle position, water temperature, and water pressure to your liking once you select your saved preset.  It saves you time and prevents any unpleasant surprises in the case that your spouse enjoys a high pressure, cold wash.

Having used the CleanSense dib-1500R bidet seat for a while now, I’ve also noticed a couple minor drawbacks.  I’m not sure if it’s because my toilet is especially small for a round shaped toilet, but the front lip of the dib-1500R bidet seat hangs slightly over the front edge of my toilet bowl.   It doesn’t cause any issues in terms of function, but it slightly detracts from the bidet’s overall aesthetic appearance.  In contrast, the Bio Bidet BB-800 I reviewed earlier sat perfectly flush on the toilet bowl.  The dib-1500R toilet seat is also a bit ‘light’ in comparison with some other electronic bidet seats.  Although weight doesn’t necessarily denote quality, it’d be nice if the toilet seat itself had a heavier feel to it.  But like I said, the quality is definitely there and I haven’t had any issues with breakage/cracking/malfunctions.

The dib-1500 series also features a neat little blue LED light at the top of the seat.  It’s great as a nightlight when you need to use the bathroom but don’t want to turn on the bathroom lights. If you prefer bidet seats with side control panel over a wireless remote, go for the CleanSense dib-1500 and save $30.  The side panel is sleek and easy to use, but the dib-1500 does not have the ability to set user presets.

Overall, I’d rate the dib-1500R a 9/10 for its unbelievable value as a top of the line bidet seat.  If not for the two drawbacks I listed above, it would’ve gotten a 10.

The toilet we chose to “bidet equip” in my parents’ house was beige in color and elongated in shape.  They had a two piece toilet so fit wasn’t going to be an issue.  We ordered the bidet from our sponsor BidetKing.com (shameless plug) and it arrived in a nice big cardboard box (duh) after a week.

The box looked pretty legit, but you’d expect that from a well equipped $400 electronic bidet seat. Bio Bidet is a major player in the US electronic bidet seat market and has a headquarters here in the states.  Their bidets are definitely Korean made though, and that’s a good thing.  Korean bidet brands are known to be made with great quality – comparable to their Japanese counterparts, but much more affordable.  Compare this seat to the TOTO S400 Washlet which goes for damn near $700.

Anyways, after we finished unpacking everything (there’s not that much) we laid all the parts out.  These lower res pictures doesn’t do the bidet seat justice but you can feel the quality of it.  The finish was impeccably smooth and the bidet seat in general just had a nice and heavy, quality feel to it.

You can see the BB-800 here with its included parts:

• (2) Water connection hoses
• (1) T-valve connector
• (2) Plastic mounting bolts/washers/nuts
• (1) Plastic mounting bracket (with metal 2 frames)
• (1) Spanner tool (like a janky wrench)
• (1) 3/8′ to 1/2″ metal adapter (didn’t need it)
• (1) Quick user guide
• (1) User manual

Installation was a breeze and took about 30 mins with a break in the middle.  I’ll be posting the full step-by-step electronic bidet seat installation guide here soon enough as proof, but just take my word for it.  To install, you need a wrench (preferably one that locks) and plumbers tape.  To give you an idea of how easy these things are to install, I didn’t even use a wrench on this bad boy.  The spanner tool that they included with the kit was more than enough.

Using the Bio Bidet BB-800 for the first time was great.  I’ve had the CleanSense dib-1500r installed on my own toilet for quite some time now, and the BB-800 is definitely on par with that bidet seat in terms of both overall craftsmanship, and cleaning action.  The nozzle on the BB-800 is very similar to the dib-1500 in that it is a single nozzle that is used for the various cleaning actions (with different holes for the feminine clean/enema function).  Nature wasn’t calling at the time of installation, but I did sit down and let Bio Bidet’s pride and joy massage me for a minute.  Felt great .

The control panel on the BB-800 is sleek and stylish.  It’s extremely intuitive and my mom had no problems figuring out which buttons did what (keep reading).  The buttons feel nice to the touch and the lights are easy to read.  The 1-page quick guide is very clear and comes with a suction cup to mount near your bidet in case you forget what the Turbo button does.  Oh, that turbo button. One would think it’d be used for a quick clean…maybe a 15 sec spray with auto-shut off?  Nope, it’s the enema function.  Watch out for that.

The BB-800, like with most electronic bidet seats around this price range, comes with economy mode and self-cleaning nozzles.  A lot of people ask me, “Doesn’t the spray head get dirty when it washes you?”.  The answer: self-cleaning nozzles.  When you first sit down on the seat, you will hear some water trickling in the toilet.  It might catch you off guard at first, but it won’t splash you.  It’s the bidet seat sensing that someone is on the seat, and it flushes the nozzle with a jet of water in its casing.  It does the same thing after it’s done spraying you.  Nice.

The economy mode is pretty cool too.  The BB-800 comes with 2 economy modes (I have no clue with the second one does yet).  Economy mode is basically the on-board computer chip learning about your poop habits.  Wait, what? Yeah, these things are smart enough to learn your poo schedule so that it can save energy during ‘non-peak’ hours.  Fancy stuff.

Overall, I’d rate the Bio Bidet BB-800 a 9/10.  It would’ve been a 9.1 if not for the damned Turbo button (j/k).  It’s pretty much the top of the line when it comes to electronic bidet seats with a side control panel.  The major knock against it is that it doesn’t include a deodorizer and the ability for user presets at its price point.  Still, a damn fine bidet seat for the money.

Comparable bidets in the same price range: CleanSense dib-1500, COCO 6235, HomeTECH HI-4000, INAX Clessence
