Brondell 600

Yes ... i'm blogging about a toilet seat. Yes, i know ...

I have been using the Brondell Swash 600 for a few weeks now and I’m having a hard time leaving the bathroom. The Brondell Swash 600 is my new favorite place to catch up on reading.

This thing is not just any toilet seat – the Brondell Swash 600 is a bidet with a heated seat, posterior and feminine warm-water wash, germ resistant seat, warm-air dryer, and a remote control. As Howard Dean would say ... "yeaggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

This is the first product of the Silicon Valley 100 which I will be blogging about in the future. I got the Brondell for free and there is no way I initially would have paid the hundreds of dollars for it. But after using for a month, I now need to have it and would gladly pay for it. My guess is that the Starbucks set of Americans will all be clamoring for bidets in 10 years time ....
