For those who aren't the reading type, here's a video version of the article:

With over 10 years of retail experience in selling bidets, we’ve experienced and tested first-hand, dozens and dozens of seats in our industry.  Our list of best bidet toilet seats below was carefully curated taking into consideration:

• Feature set of the bidet
• Price point of the bidet
• Customer feedback
• Consumer demand
• Manufacturer’s warranty and track record of reliability

We note that just because a bidet seat is not listed here, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a “bad” choice.  With so many models available today, it can be confusing to examine all of them on your own, and try to figure out the pros and cons of each.  Our aim is to simply “short-list” the models we think you should consider as you make your final decision, to narrow down your bidet universe in an easy-to-digest format.  There may be some features, e.g., a lid you can sit on, that are important to you but that same feature may not be important to others.  So certainly you’ll want to review our list with a degree of personalization in mind and think about which features would be most important to you and your household.

With our rich history and experience here at bidetsPLUS, we have spoken to thousands of happy bidet seat owners.  We take this knowledge, and present to you our list of best bidet toilet seats:

#5 - Brondell Swash DS725

The Brondell Swash DS725 is a mid-level offering from Brondell, but still comes with most of the features you would find in higher-end models.  With a price point in the $300 - $400 range, there is great value in this seat and highly recommended if you’re looking for an electronic bidet seat, but a little shy about spending north of $600.  

Operated with a wireless remote control, the Swash DS725 comes with all of the primary features you would expect in an electronic bidet toilet seat such as – posterior wash, feminine wash, adjustable water temperature, adjustable water pressure and adjustable nozzle position.  The DS725 also has the popular heated toilet seat and includes the oscillating wash feature which moves the nozzle back and forth, extending the coverage area while washing.  A built-in air dryer, night light, an air deodorization system are also included.  These are basic features you’ll find in ALL of the seats below.

The biggest difference with the DS725 and our four other best bidet toilet seats though, is the water heating technology.  The Brondell Swash DS725 uses a reservoir water tank heating system vs. an on-demand water heating system.  This means that inside the bidet, there is a small water reservoir which holds pre-heated water which is ready at all times.  But one of the downsides, is that the warm water eventually depletes and you’ll feel the water start turning to room temperature after ~30 seconds.  For a more detailed explanation, you can read our article:  Bidet Toilet Seat Water Heating Systems.

But since most people finish washing in ~20 seconds, most people won’t even notice the reservoir tank heater on the Swash DS725.  Given its price point, coupled with the rather complete feature set this seat provides, the Brondell Swash DS725 really is a great model to introduce yourself to the world of bidet seats.

#4 – Bio Bidet Discovery DLS

As the newest release from Bio Bidet (2021) - the Discovery DLS is a luxury class model packed with high-end features.  Equipped with both posterior and feminine wash functions - water temperature, water pressure, and spray position are all adjustable through its remote control.  The DLS' stainless steel nozzle provides a thorough cleaning and oscillates by default, expanding the coverage area.  And its UV sterilization system automatically sanitizes the wash nozzle every time the nozzle retracts into the seat.  The Discovery DLS is the first bidet seat in the world to utilize UV sterilization technology.

And as another first - the DLS is Bio Bidet's first model to include an automatic opening and closing seat and lid.  Sensors on the seat can detect when you approach the toilet, and the lid will automatically open for you.  Men, who want to raise the seat too - can simply tap a button on top of the remote control.  Both the seat and lid will close automatically after you walk away.

Other enhancements include an advanced water heating system.  With a faster response time than previous models, the DLS lets you change water temperature very quickly.  This led to a new feature called "Dynamic Stream" which quickly alternates water temperature between hot and cold for a therapeutic effect.  Discovery DLS owners will enjoy a significant upgrade to the air dryer as well.  The DLS clocks faster drying times than any other Bio Bidet model today.

And what's more impressive - these upgrades have all been built into an ultra-slim design!  Measuring just 4.8 inches tall at its tallest point in the rear, this is Bio Bidet's slimmest electronic bidet toilet seat, with an attractive low profile which looks more modern on your toilet.  Combined with a five year full warranty which comes standard, the Bio Bidet Discovery DLS is a feature-packed seat with trim and contemporary looks, you'll be enjoying for many years to come.

#3 – Brondell Swash 1400

The award-winning Brondell Swash 1400 is the flagship model from Brondell, and the best bidet toilet seat in Brondell’s product line-up.  It has every wash feature you’ll find in the Swash DS725, and uses the DS725 feature set as a baseline to build on top of.  A handy addition you’ll find in the Swash 1400 is the adjustable spray-width feature.  This lets you choose between a narrow, more concentrated spray or a wider, softer spray which provides greater coverage.

The Brondell Swash 1400 also features twin stainless steel nozzles.  One nozzle is dedicated for posterior wash, while a second nozzle is dedicated for feminine wash.  Like the DS725, the bidet has an automatic self-rinsing feature, which rinses the nozzles with water before and after each use.  The Swash 1400 adds a separate nozzle sterilization feature however, which uses a silver-oxide solution to sterilize the wash nozzles too.

The Brondell Swash 1400 features a hidden-pocket design, where BOTH the electric cord and water connections are housed.  Having all the cordage on the same side of the seat makes things look a bit more tidy.  When facing the toilet, you’ll find these connections on the left side of the seat.  On the opposite (right) side, you’ll find vents for the bidet’s air deodorizer system.  Unlike all the other bidets in this list, the carbon cartridge for the Swash 1400’s air deodorizer system is actually removable, so you can easily replace the carbon filter from time to time if needed.

You’ll find two user-presets on this seat too, which allows you to program wash settings for two different people in your household.  The Swash 1400 also includes a lid you can sit on.  The Brondell Swash 1400 and Bio Bidet Discovery DLS are the only two seats in this list, which include this sit-able lid feature.

#2 – TOTO S550e Washlet

As a global brand with a stronger international presence, the TOTO Washlet S550e is one of the best-selling bidet toilet seats in the world.  TOTO is the first company to mass-produce bidet toilet seats, introducing their very first Washlet G Series back in the 1980s.  TOTO’s latest luxury-class model, the S550e, was released in 2018 and shows off TOTO’s decades of manufacturing experience.

Starting with the outside, the TOTO S550e comes in your choice of lid styles – contemporary and classic.  The contemporary lid style (pictured above) has a flat, streamlined look which fully covers the seat underneath providing a more uni-body look to your toilet.  The classic lid style has beveled edges around the contours of the lid and leaves the seat slightly exposed underneath.  Measuring just 5 inches tall at its tallest point in the rear, this is the thinnest electronic bidet seat available.  People who prefer an attractive, modern looking seat will pay special attention to the TOTO S550e.

All of the wash features we’ve discussed until now are built into this seat.  You’ll find posterior wash, feminine wash, adjustable spray position, and oscillating wash included.  Some advanced washing features you’ll find are adjustable spray width, and a water-pulse mode which pulsates the water stream.  You can use the water-pulse and oscillating features at the same time too, for a soothing massaging effect.

The e-Water toilet bowl misting feature on the TOTO S550e, mists the sides of your toilet bowl with electrolyzed water before and after each use.  Used in the restaurant industry to sanitize cutting boards, knives and utensils - electrolyzed water is known for its disinfectant properties and helps keep your toilet bowl cleaner.  The automatic open/close seat and lid is another wonderful add-on.  The S550e is equipped with a body sensor, so as you approach the toilet the lid will automatically open for you.  Men, who wish to raise the toilet seat too, can do so by tapping a button on top of the remote control.  Both the seat and lid automatically close, 90 seconds after walking away.  And of course this comes with a special perk – women will always find the seat down!

#1 – Bio Bidet BB 2000

If you’ve read this far, you’ve learned about the incredible array of different features you can pack into a toilet seat.  Which is quite amazing really, because a toilet seat isn’t very big – so it’s pretty impressive how many features a modern bidet seat can come with.  But despite all of these “nice-to-have” features, don’t forget – the PRIMARY reason you’re getting a bidet toilet seat is for its ability to wash you efficiently and thoroughly after using the bathroom.

With its superior washing performance, our #1 ranked best bidet toilet seat is the Bio Bidet Bliss BB 2000.  With its exceptional water output of 0.7 liters per minute, the BB 2000 features the highest water volume of any electronic bidet available.  This compares to about 0.5 liters per minute which is what you’ll find in most other seats.  Further, the oscillation rate on the BB 2000 (how quickly the nozzle extends and retracts in oscillation mode) is higher too.  When you combine its increased water output with its increased rate of oscillation, the Bio Bidet Bliss BB 2000 stands apart in providing an efficient and thorough washing experience.

Other unique features on the Bio Bidet BB 2000 include its 3-in-1 wash nozzle which is made predominantly of stainless steel.  At the tip of the nozzle are three different spray ports for posterior wash, feminine wash, and the optional enema feature which helps alleviate constipation.  This patented nozzle tip is even detachable and can easily be swapped out.  The BB 2000 also has a wide seat design, measuring almost 15 inches wide which is wider than what you would typically find in a bidet seat.  And its increased weight capacity of 450 pounds makes the BB 2000 more accommodating over a wider range of users both big and small.

The Bio Bidet BB 2000 comes with an outstanding warranty package which further supports its #1 ranking.  With 100% coverage for three full years from the date of purchase, Bio Bidet also offers an extended warranty plan - you can purchase 3 additional years (at a very reasonable cost), providing 6 years of total coverage.  Bio Bidet’s warranty plan demonstrates the manufacturer’s confidence in the durability and reliability of their product, and gives you the consumer, peace of mind.
