Effortless Selection of the Best TOTO Bidet Seat

Looking for the ultimate in toileting luxury doesn’t have to mean overspending to swap your current toilet for a smart one. With a TOTO bidet seat or WASHLET, you could elevate your existing throne to a smart integrated bidet toilet with features that even surpass TOTO’s closest rivals.

Especially the premium models, which boast unique bowl sanitizing capabilities, a feature rarely found in other bidets and smart toilets. These advanced options include impressive features like PREMIST and EWATER+, which are designed for unprecedented hygiene in and around the toilet.

Most of all, selecting the ideal bidet seat from the 20 available models is straightforward when you’re clear about your preferences and budget.

Thanks, I’m ready to choose now.

Ease of Selection Based on Feature Preferences

Needless to say, the more features there are, the more expensive it gets. And TOTO has added 4 new premier models alongside the popular S500 and S300 series. Additionally, certain models like the KC2 and C2 have been enhanced by introducing a round seat option, expanding their availability beyond the previously exclusive elongated designs.

If hygiene is a top priority, look out for models with the PREMIST and EWATER+ features. Or go for the ultimate models with the auto bowl sanitizing feature to achieve the highest hygiene level for your bathroom. Also, the material for the wand and seat of all models is made of CLEAN RESIN, which is a specially formulated resin that is extremely resistant to waste and stains.

Picking out the perfect bidet seat is always easy with TOTO. If you have a budget of 250 USD up to 1300 USD (estimated based on prices seen on Amazon), you have 20 different models, both new and old, to choose from.

However, it can be a tedious process to go back and forth on the models for comparison. You can begin the selection based on your budget or features if you have a more generous cap. So, to make the comparison easy and fast for you, let’s split them up into Entry, Deluxe, and Premier.

But before attempting to choose your desired bidet, it helps to have a good grasp of the features if this is your first time buying a TOTO bidet seat.

WASHLET+ Bidet Seats

Feature-wise, WASHLET+ bidet seats are identical to the respective base models. For example, the C2 Elongated bidet seat (SW3074) has a WASHLET+ model, SW3074T40. The first obvious difference here is the model number that ends with ‘T40’.

However, not all WASHLET models will have a WASHLET+ model. So, how do you decide whether or not a WASHLET+ is more appropriate for your needs? Surely, there are differences between the two.

WASHLET VS. WASHLET+ – What’s the Difference?

A Purely Aesthetic Reason

The WASHLET+ bidet seat is designed to match a TOTO toilet, more specifically known as a WASHLET+ Integrated Bidet Toilet. It is designed in such a way the bidet hose is adjusted to go through an opening next to the bolt hole of the bowl ensuring it remains straight without any kinks. Thereby, both the cable and the water hose are hidden when the seat is properly installed.

So, unless you own a WASHLET+ toilet, the bidet models without the ‘T40’ are the right bidet seats for your existing toilet. Only the WASHLET+ toilet will have an opening for the bidet’s cable and hose. That means the WASHLET+ bidet seat is usually either purchased as a replacement or comes with a WASHLET+ toilet.

But can you use a WASHLET+ bidet seat on a non-WASHLET+ toilet?

TOTO has not explicitly advised against installing a WASHLET+ bidet seat on non-WASHLET+ toilets, suggesting it may be possible. However, compatibility varies across different toilet brands and models (even with TOTO’s own).

For absolute certainty, it’s wise to reach out to TOTO USA. Be prepared to provide your toilet’s brand and model when you make the call, as this information will be essential for determining compatibility.

Keep in mind, though, that the desired aesthetics of a WASHLET+ system won’t be replicated. You will get a setup with the cord and hose visibly dangling at the side. For a truly integrated look, consider upgrading to a WASHLET+ toilet, where design and functionality blend perfectly.

Some of the WASHLET+ bidet seats are being replaced by newer models. So only the latest ones are shown here. If you need to replace your WASHLET+ bidet seat, check out these models. They should fit your WASHLET+ toilet.

Again, when in doubt, TOTO USA has your back. Their response is quick and polite, and they usually reply within the same workday if you send them an email.
