D. Hudspeth: This is more of a wish-list for additional features, since the other reviews here are quite informative, and no need to repeat them.

I have an aged mother, 97 yrs old now, who is often incontinent, suffers from arthritis, but insists on "dying in her own home" instead of going into assisted living. So we have paid various caretakers to come look after her, but they often skimp on the personal hygiene especially after an incontinence episode. Due to her arthritis, my mother usually wipes back to front, when she remembers to do so at all, and thus gets frequent UTIs including the MRSA staph which is hard to treat since it is resistant to many antibiotics.

Here's a brief comparison between the two bidet seats based on my experiences. Please bear with me as the review is very lengthy, but I hope it'll help you make an informed decision if you're stuck between the Swash and the Intelliseat.

Installation: The installation process was very similar between the Swash and the Intelliseat, and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. Both use a T-valve hooked onto your toilet's water supply to feed water into the bidet, but there are differences. The Swash's T-valve is a 7/8" connection that fits between the fill valve connection under your toilet tank and the water supply hose. This greatly eliminates the probability of needing additional adapters because fill valves connections are almost always 7/8", and you simply hook up the water supply hose to the...
