Ranked #5 in Best Bidets

Toto Washlet

Unrated3 sources$748as of Oct 18

The Toto Washlet S5 is Wirecutter's top pick for bidet toilet seats, praised for its excellent features, aesthetics, and customization options. Reviewers noted its intuitive remote with divided controls, five-position nozzle, and energy-saving eco modes. The S5 combines functionality with a clean design, though it comes at a premium price point. While the S2 offers a lower-cost alternative without a remote, the S5's advanced features and user presets make it the preferred choice for those seeking a high-end bidet experience.

1 sourceall derived$420as of Sep 25

The Toto Washlet S2 offers a premium bidet experience at a lower price point than the S5, with a heated seat, instant warm water, and comfortable spray features. Reviewers noted its easy installation and sturdy build, though it lacks the programmable user settings and remote control of its higher-tier counterpart.

It's best suited for users wanting Toto's quality without the premium price tag.

— Side panel controls eliminate need for separate remote

How they stack up

Toto Washlet

The Toto Washlet adds a remote, a five-position nozzle and four user presets to what the Toto Washlet S2 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat offers. The S2 uses side panel controls and has no programmable user settings, and both list the EWATER+ self-cleaning system. The Tushy Classic 3.0 Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment sprays cool water only, with no temperature control, and costs far less.

Toto Washlet S2 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat

The Toto Washlet S2 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat costs far less than the Toto Washlet and keeps a heated seat, instant warm water and the EWATER+ wand cleaning. It uses side panel controls where the Toto Washlet has a remote, and it has no programmable user settings against the Toto Washlet's four presets. Unlike the Tushy Classic 3.0 Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment, which needs no electricity and sprays cool water only, it requires a power outlet nearby.
