Smart Bidet Toilet Seat with Heated Seat & Dryer 2026
Smart Home Bathroom Upgrade
The Brondell S1400 turns an ordinary bathroom into the one room in your house you actually look forward to visiting.
It’s a Wednesday morning. You’re half-awake, shuffling to the bathroom at 6 a.m., and instead of a cold seat shock that ruins the next ten minutes of your life, you lower yourself onto something warm, quiet, and faintly glowing. That’s the Brondell Swash S1400 smart bidet toilet seat in its natural element. I’ve been testing it for several weeks now, and I’ll say this upfront in my Brondell S1400 review: it changes the routine faster than you’d expect. The heated seat alone resets your expectations for what a bathroom can feel like.
What I Love
There’s a short list of smart home upgrades that actually stick. This one made the list on day three.
- Dual stainless-steel self-cleaning nozzles retract and rinse before and after every use — no touching, no fussing.
- Endless warm water means no cold burst mid-wash, even if three people have used it before you that morning.
- The warm air dryer is adjustable and genuinely useful — not a hurricane, but enough to actually finish the job.
- A soft integrated nightlight guides you in without flipping on overhead lights at 2 a.m. — a small thing that feels surprisingly considerate.
What to Watch For
No smart home upgrade is perfect, and this one has a few things worth knowing before you click buy. Installation requires a nearby grounded electrical outlet — if yours isn’t already behind the toilet, you’re adding an electrician to your weekend. The remote control is functional but takes a few days to memorize, and the companion controls aren’t the most intuitive on first use.
- Requires a grounded outlet within reach of the toilet — not every bathroom has one positioned conveniently.
- The seat is elongated only, so measure your bowl before ordering if you have a round toilet.
Who It’s For
This is for the person who has started treating their bathroom as actual living space, not just a pit stop. If you’re already investing in smart home upgrades elsewhere in your house — smart lighting, a Nest thermostat, a quality shower head — the S1400 is a natural next step. It also makes real sense for anyone with mobility considerations, since the hands-free wash and dry cycle reduces physical effort significantly.
“Once you use a heated seat in winter, going back feels like a minor personal injustice.”
How to Use It
Setup 1: Shut off the water supply, swap out your existing seat, connect the T-valve to the supply line, plug into your grounded outlet, and you’re done — most installs run under an hour with basic tools and the included hardware.
Setup 2: Use the included remote to dial in your personal preferences — water temperature, pressure, nozzle position, dryer intensity — and leave them set. Every member of the household can find their own comfort zone without touching anyone else’s settings.

Quick FAQ
Does it work with any toilet?
It fits elongated bowls universally, but not round bowls. Measure your toilet before purchasing — Brondell includes a sizing guide in the box.
Is the water actually warm, or is there a cold start?
The S1400 uses an in-line water heating system that delivers continuous warm water with no cold-water surge at the start. It’s one of the things that genuinely separates it from cheaper smart home bathroom options.
How hard is the installation?
It’s a legitimate DIY project if you’re comfortable with basic plumbing — shut off valve, T-connector, seat swap. The one firm requirement is a grounded electrical outlet near the toilet.
The Verdict
The Brondell Swash S1400 is one of those smart home upgrades that sounds indulgent until you actually live with it, at which point it just becomes part of how your bathroom works. The dual stainless-steel self-cleaning nozzles, continuous warm water, and heated seat are all executed well, and the build quality matches the level of finish you’d hope for at this price point. There are minor setup hurdles and the elongated-only fit is a real constraint for some buyers. If your bathroom is elongated and outlet-ready, this is a confident buy.
