Brondel Swash Thinline T44 Bidet Review: King of the throne

This is a lot in life. We eat the goods, digest it, and then the waste should be expelled. This is just the same way that we do not spend an important part of our time that is sitting on the throne of porcelain. So why not as much as possible experience? And if your toilet seat can make the experience better, cleaner and more comfortable, is it not worth its own throne?

Stare Brondel Swash Thinline T44The best bidet seat I have ever sat. And for $ 700, it was better.

Thinline T44 is a bidet toilet seat. Such things have been since 1980, when the Toto Washlet started in Japan, and they are much more convenient than the old standalone bidets that they have replaced more or less. In its most basic, the bidet toilet seat fits on your toilet bowl, connects to the water supply line, and wash your butt. They can be as cheap and simple as when you open a valve you explode with cold water. Thinline T44 from San Francisco -based Bondel is at the other end of the spectrum.

I am not a bidet crook here. I reviewed one (actually from Brondel) 13 years ago, and I have been a convert since then. I also spent three weeks traveling around Japan, where a bidet seat is attached to almost every toilet (including those on high-speed trains). Almost all of them are made by Toto, and they range from the most basic water sprayers to full toilets with integrated bidets.

T44 has a warm seat, immediately hot water (temperature adjustable) to clean your back, a separate jet to clean your front side (a feature) Generally not recommended By medical professionals), and a hot air dryer, so you need very little toilet paper. Jets can also be canceled or set to oscillate, and you can also adjust the level of water pressure. It has a nightlight (three separate colors), a deodorizing air filter and self-clining jet. All of this is managed through a smooth remote control, with a cradle you can stick to the wall within easy hand access.

If you are familiar with the bidet toilet seats, none of those facilities can be a novel. The difference is that they work better than any attempt in the past, including bio -bidet, kohler, tush, brandel and of course, units of Toto.

The T44 has a wide range of pressure settings, most of us (or need) should choose from very soft to stronger than very soft. Cleaning is very well. The seat is quick and more equally heated, with less hotspots than old units I have tried with Brondel and others. The water temperature is more consistent than other models I used by me, which sometimes kills you with a chili stream. The fan of the hot air dryer is strong and does a better, targeted job of drying your butts (although it is still far from the Dyson Airblade Hand-Drair, and the hairs between us will probably require two or three dried sessions and still need TP). When I was traveling through Japan, I was surprised to know that the vast majority of the bidet seats do not have air dryers, which I think is an essential feature. They were involved only on a few high-end units, and even on them, the dryer lacked horsepower.

This thing that actually comes about T44, however, how low it is. Although it still looks like a cyber-toilet from external space, it is only 3.9 inches higher than your specific bidet toilet seat. This is much longer than your standard toilet seat, but is much less profile than most biddet seats. For example, Toto’s best -selling washlet C5 is about 6 inches long at the back. It looks like a modern, luxurious toilet seat to T44 compared to a piece of medical devices. It is more comfortable to sit.

Establishing a swash thinline T44 is much easier than you expect. Just remove your old seat and close the water supply valve. Flush the toilet to empty the tank and then disconnect the water supply line. Install the tube involved with a T-connector between the valve and the tank. Mount the seat on the toilet, connect the hose to the bidet, turn back the water, check the drip, plug into electricity, and you are good to go. Actually, this is one thing to consider: not all the bathrooms have power outlets, I include. My toilets and shower are separated from sink and pride, where there are outlets. I had to get a very thin extension cord and use some guides so that it could be tightly pressed, otherwise my door would not be closed. In addition, I consider the installation as simple and deserve it.

There is a place for improvement. While I like that it has two user-pyset buttons, you need to use a secret chain of button press to set those modes that you can find only in manual. Very unexpected. To change the duration of the default drying, you need a more wide range of button press. This is where a Bluetooth radio and a simple phone app will be easy, if only to adjust the settings.

There are also some strange small insects and quirks. For example, if you choose your user profile, it will wash you with all your desired settings. But if you want a little more wash ‘, and you kill that button combination again, something is lost and it will forget to include oscillation or something else. I also had some issues when using T44 with my feet on a squatty potty type cheese (yes, I know how many toilets can have to have toilet items? Leave me alone!) Sometime about the angle or weight distribution of my feet would ever travel to the occupancy sensor, so I could not allow it to be a minute or again. I went back and forth with Bondel’s excellent technical support team, but we never went under it. The support team could not repeat it in its test, so it could just be my strange body or something else. This issue became very rare when I pushed the growing bracket forward, so the seat with the bowl’s rim was slightly more flush, but it is something to consider.

I hope Bondel stole some biddet seat facilities tried in Japan for the next generation. For example, a lid that opens automatically when you step into the bathroom. To be able to increase or reduce the seat with a button push on the remote control. Some were also associated with the flush system; The toilet will flush, and the lid closes when you push a button on the remote. Is this Mandatory features? No, but they are good.

Catch this minor one side, I love it completely. It is much more comfortable to use than toilet paper, and you feel very, very cleaner. Not to mention that it is mostly a hand-free experience, so once you push the button on the remote, you are free to continue doom-scrapping on your phone. While this is true about most bidet seats, additional powerful jets make it much better than any other unit, which I have tested, and it is easily the best looking and most comfortable. Certainly, I want them to torbo-chaws to the air dryer to reduce the use of my toilet paper even more, but, finally, the swash thinline T44 is the best that your butt can get.
