All of our seat products have a slow close lid, none feature an automatic lid.
This seat does not have a warm air dryer.
I do not know the difference but I am happy with the 1200. Really like the remote control and can set options for 2 users.
No, the 1200 does not. The 1400 does have the drying function. I wanted to get that but they were out of stock. I like this so much, I'm considering purchasing another and it will be the 1400.
