The three bidet seats I’d install

All three are electric elongated bidet seats with warm water, a heated seat and a warm air dryer. Each was new and in stock on Amazon on Oct 24, 2026. I’ve used these picks.

Can you plug it in where your toilet is?

Measure from the toilet’s rear corner to the nearest outlet. The checker compares that with each seat’s cord and shows each seat’s current draw.

  • Brondell Swash 1400: 42 in. cord reaches an outlet 36 in. away; up to 10.0 A at 120 V.
  • TOTO Washlet S2: 46 in. cord reaches an outlet 36 in. away; up to 11.9 A at 120 V.
  • Bio Bidet BB-2000: 48 in. cord reaches an outlet 36 in. away; up to 11.7 A at 120 V.

A GFCI outlet on its own circuit is what Bio Bidet’s manual asks for.

Cord lengths and maximum power from Brondell’s, TOTO’s and Bio Bidet’s spec sheets and manual, read Oct 24, 2026. Amps are maximum watts ÷ 120 V. Have an electrician add an outlet rather than use an extension cord.

The outlet is the part people forget. All three seats need 120 V, and their cords are short: 42 in. for the Brondell, 3.9 ft for the TOTO and 4 ft for the Bio Bidet, per their makers. If the nearest outlet is across the bathroom, plan on an electrician adding one behind the toilet.

Bio Bidet’s manual is the most specific. It says the seat must connect to a grounded 120 V GFCI outlet, recommends a separate circuit, and warns that sharing one can trip the breaker or make lights flicker. It allows only a three-prong extension cord into a proper GFCI outlet if one must be used, rated at least as high as the seat’s 10 A.

Buy it if

You want a remote, a 3-year warranty and the most complete spec sheet, and your outlet is within 42 in. of the toilet.

Skip it if

Your outlet is farther than about 3-1/2 ft away. The TOTO and Bio Bidet cords are a few inches longer.

The Swash 1400 is the bidet seat I’d put on most toilets, and I’ve used it. It scored a full 10.0, passing all seven checks.

Brondell’s spec sheet is the most complete of the three. Water temperature has four settings: off at room temperature, 90, 95 and 100°F. The heated seat runs off, 89, 93 or 97°F. Maximum power is 1,200 W, and the seat heater alone is 50 W.

It washes with adjustable seven-position stainless steel nozzles, with oscillation, an aerated spray, a wide spray option and auto wash. The NozzleClean+ feature cleans the nozzles on demand. There’s a gentle-close seat and lid, an LED nightlight and a wireless remote that takes four CR2032 batteries and stores user settings.

Brondell publishes how to check fit. For the elongated seat, the center of the bolt holes to the front of the bowl should be 18 to 19.5 in.; round is 16 to 17.75 in.

Brondell’s sheet also warns the seat may hang slightly past the front of the bowl if the bolt holes are less than 1.5 to 2 in. from the tank, and that it will if the tank front to bowl front measures under 20 in., in which case it suggests the round size.

Supply pressure can be 14.5 to 100 psi, and the wash flows up to 0.13 gallons per minute. The elongated seat weighs 14.3 lb, measures 20.43 x 15.2 x 5.75 in., and is rated for 330 lb on the seat.

One inconsistency: Brondell’s feature list says a three-level warm air dryer, while the same sheet’s table says four dryer settings. Its product page shows a cUPC mark, and Brondell lists a limited 3-year tiered warranty.

The remote is the main control, and it’s the reason I’d pick this seat for a household with more than one regular user: the programmable settings store each person’s pressure and temperature. The quick-release seat lifts off for cleaning around the hinge.

The carbon deodorizer filter is rated for six months. Healthy Homestore sold the white elongated listing on Oct 24, 2026.

Buy it if

You want the brand-name standards list, an instant heater and a dryer with published temperatures, and you’re fine with a side panel instead of a remote.

Skip it if

A one-year warranty is too short for you. Brondell and Bio Bidet both give three years.

The Washlet S2 is one of TOTO’s current bidet seats, and I’ve used it. It scored 8.6.

TOTO’s spec sheet carries the longest standards list here: ASME A112.4.2, ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1, UL 1431 and CSA C22.2 #68, with back-siphonage testing to ASSE 1001 and CSA B64.1.1. It lists IAPMO cUPC certification.

It has an instantaneous water heater rather than a tank, which TOTO says gives continuous warm water. Water temperature adjusts from 95 to 104°F, the heated seat from 82 to 97°F, and the warm air dryer from 95 to 140°F with an airflow of 8.83 cubic feet per minute. That dryer range reaches the highest temperature of the three.

Cleaning features are TOTO’s selling point. PREMIST mists the bowl before each use, EWATER+ auto-cleans the wand after every use, and the wand cleans itself inside and out before and after use. TOTO says the seat design leaves no gap where dirt collects, and it adds CLEAN RESIN, a SoftClose seat, a night light, an air deodorizer and an energy saver mode.

TOTO lists power consumption of 1,273 W and a maximum of 1,428 W, the highest draw here, with a 3.9 ft cord. Water pressure must be at least 7.25 psi flowing and no more than 108.75 psi static. TOTO says to use it with potable water only and recommends a surge protector.

The one check it failed is the warranty: TOTO gives a one-year limited warranty, against three years from the other two.

TOTO’s auto energy saver lowers the seat temperature when the seat isn’t in use, and the docking station lets the seat slide off its plate for cleaning. Both help with the running cost and upkeep of a seat that stays plugged in all day.

Controls are on an arm panel at the side of the seat. Amazon.com sold the Cotton elongated listing on Oct 24, 2026; TOTO also makes it in Sedona Beige and a round version.

Buy it if

You want the highest rated wash flow of the three and a 3-year warranty, and you have a GFCI outlet on its own circuit.

Skip it if

You want exact water temperatures or a listing mark shown by the maker. Brondell and TOTO publish both.

The BB-2000 is Bio Bidet’s Bliss seat, and I’ve used it. It scored 7.1.

Its rated wash flow is the highest of the three: Bio Bidet’s manual gives a maximum of 0.7 liters per minute, 0.185 gallons per minute, for both rear and front wash, against 0.13 for the Brondell and 0.11 for the TOTO. Water pressure has five levels.

Bio Bidet’s documents disagree on the heater. The product page lists unlimited warm water and, in its feature list, “Hybrid Warm Water”, while the manual has a section titled draining the warm water tank. I couldn’t confirm which design it uses, so heater type isn’t part of the score.

Power is 120 V at 1,400 W, the heated seat element is 55 W, and the cord is 4 ft. It wants an inlet pressure of 0.04 to 0.74 MPa, about 6 to 107 psi.

It has a warm air dryer that runs for three minutes, a deodorizer, a night light, a seat sensor and, per the product page, a slow closing seat and lid. The manual says it rinses the nozzle automatically before and after each use, and a manual clean extends the nozzle for wiping.

Two checks failed. The manual lists water and seat temperatures only as room temperature, Low, Normal and High, without degrees. And neither the manual nor the product page shows a plumbing or electrical listing mark, which TOTO and Brondell both do.

The warranty is three years from Bemis, Bio Bidet’s parent, covering defects in material and workmanship. It excludes shipping and labor, including removal and reinstallation.

It has both a wireless remote and a side control panel. The manual describes an energy saver mode that holds the water and seat at 89.6°F while nobody is seated, and a silent mode; it also suggests keeping the lid closed and the temperature on low to save energy.

The elongated seat is 15.43 in. wide, 20.9 in. long and 5.98 in. tall, and weighs 10.5 lb per the manual, lighter than the 14.3 lb Brondell; Bio Bidet’s page gives a 17 lb shipping weight. Amazon.com sold it on Oct 24, 2026.

Instant heater or warm water tank?

SeatHeater type, per makerWater temperature settings
TOTO Washlet S2Instantaneous water heater95 to 104°F, adjustable
Brondell Swash 1400Ceramic water heater systemOff, 90, 95, 100°F
Bio Bidet BB-2000Product page: unlimited warm water, “Hybrid Warm Water”; manual: a section on draining a warm water tankRoom, Low, Normal, High

A tank heater keeps a small reserve of water warm, so the wash is warm until the tank runs low. An instantaneous heater warms water as it flows, which TOTO says gives continuous warm water and saves energy. Either works for an ordinary wash; the difference shows up on long washes.

Bio Bidet’s troubleshooting guide says that if the water isn’t warm, set the temperature to High and wait about three minutes. Its documents don’t settle whether that’s a tank warming or an instant heater; either way, give it a few minutes after you change the setting.

Power, outlets and circuits

SeatMax powerMax current at 120 VCord
Brondell Swash 14001,200 W10.0 A42 in.
TOTO Washlet S21,428 W11.9 A3.9 ft
Bio Bidet BB-20001,400 W11.7 A4 ft

Ten to twelve amps is a real load for a bathroom circuit, and another heavy appliance on the same circuit adds to it. That’s why Bio Bidet recommends a separate circuit and warns about tripping and flickering lights when one is shared.

An outlet near a toilet should be a GFCI. Bio Bidet requires one, and TOTO recommends a surge protector. Adding an outlet or a circuit is a job for a licensed electrician, and it beats running an extension cord across the floor to a bidet seat.

Will it fit your toilet?

SeatElongated seat size (L x W x H)Fit guidance from the maker
Brondell Swash 140020.43 x 15.2 x 5.75 in.Bolt holes to bowl front 18 to 19.5 in.; overhang warnings under 1.5 to 2 in. bolt holes to tank, or under 20 in. tank front to bowl front
TOTO Washlet S2Drawing on TOTO’s spec sheetCompatible with most elongated toilets, TOTO and others
Bio Bidet BB-200020.9 x 15.43 x 5.98 in.Elongated and round versions

Measure from the center of the seat bolt holes to the front edge of the bowl. Around 18 to 19.5 in. is elongated; around 16 to 17.75 in. is round, using Brondell’s ranges.

Then check two more numbers from Brondell’s sheet: the bolt holes should be at least 1.5 to 2 in. from the tank, and the front of the tank to the front of the bowl should be at least 20 in., or the seat will overhang the bowl.

Skirted and one-piece toilets can have unusual bolt positions or tank shapes, so check before you order. If you’re choosing a new toilet anyway, an integrated unit may make more sense; see best toilet with built-in bidet.

Water pressure and the supply connection

SeatSupply pressure rangeMax wash flow
Brondell Swash 140014.5 to 100 psi0.13 gpm
TOTO Washlet S27.25 psi flowing to 108.75 psi static0.11 gpm front
Bio Bidet BB-20000.04 to 0.74 MPa (about 6 to 107 psi)0.185 gpm

All three tee into the toilet’s cold supply with a T-valve. Measure your pressure with a gauge on a hose bib before you buy. If it’s above 100 psi, it’s above Brondell’s maximum and you need a pressure regulator for the whole house anyway.

Check the angle stop behind the toilet before you start. An old valve that won’t close fully, or one that leaks when you turn it, should be replaced first; see best shut-off valves.

Installing a bidet seat, step by step

  1. 1
    Shut off and drain

    Close the angle stop and flush to empty the tank.

  2. 2
    Remove the old seat

    Unscrew the seat bolts and lift it off.

  3. 3
    Fit the mounting plate

    Bolt the seat’s plate to the bowl and slide the seat on.

  4. 4
    Add the T-valve

    Fit it between the angle stop and the tank, then connect the bidet hose.

  5. 5
    Open the water and check

    Turn the supply on slowly and look for drips at every joint.

  6. 6
    Plug in last

    Bio Bidet says connect the water before the power cord.

Bio Bidet’s manual gives the order: turn off the water, drain the tank by flushing, unscrew the tank hose, remove the old seat. It also says not to plug in the power cord before the water supply hose is connected. TOTO’s seat uses a docking station, which makes taking it off for cleaning easier later.

Hand-tighten the plastic hose connections and stop when snug; overtightening cracks them. If a supply line is old, replace it now; see best toilet supply line.

Remote or side panel?

SeatControls, per makerExtras
Brondell Swash 1400Wireless remote with wall mount (4 x CR2032)Programmable user settings
TOTO Washlet S2Arm control panel at the side of the seatAuto energy saver for the seat
Bio Bidet BB-2000Wireless remote and side control panelEnergy saver at 89.6°F, silent mode

A remote can live on the wall where anyone can reach it, and it’s easier for someone who can’t twist to the side. A side panel can’t be lost and needs no batteries. If more than one person uses the seat every day, Brondell’s stored user settings save everyone from re-adjusting the pressure and temperature.

Which seat fits your bathroom?

Start from the outlet and the circuit, because those can rule a seat out before features matter. Then choose by what you’ll notice every day: who uses it, whether a remote helps, and how long you want the warranty to run. If you only want Bio Bidet models, the best Bio Bidet seat page compares that lineup.

Cleaning and upkeep

Bio Bidet warns that chemical toilet bowl cleaners splashed on the seat can discolor it, and that only neutral detergents should be used. That applies to any plastic bidet seat. Wipe spills from bowl cleaner off right away.

Warranties, by maker

MakerTermNotes
BrondellLimited 3-year tiered warrantyPer Brondell’s product page
TOTOOne-year limited warrantyPer the S2 spec sheet
Bio Bidet (Bemis)3-year limited warrantyExcludes shipping and labor

A bidet seat has a heater, a pump or valve, a circuit board and a remote or panel, so the warranty term matters more than on a plain seat. That’s why the score has a check for three years or more. TOTO’s one year is the shortest here.

Questions people ask

What is the best bidet toilet seat?

On our spec score, the Brondell Swash 1400 (10.0), then the TOTO Washlet S2 (8.6).

Do bidet toilet seats need electricity?

Electric seats like these three do: 120 V, and Bio Bidet requires a GFCI outlet.

How much power does a bidet seat use?

Maximum 1,200 W for the Brondell, 1,400 W for the Bio Bidet and 1,428 W for the TOTO.

Will a bidet seat fit my toilet?

Measure bolt holes to bowl front: about 18 to 19.5 in. is elongated, per Brondell.

Can I install a bidet seat myself?

Yes, with basic tools, if there’s an outlet within reach of the cord.

Is an instant heater better than a tank?

An instant heater gives continuous warm water; a tank can run cool on long washes.

What water temperature do bidet seats reach?

TOTO S2 up to 104°F; Brondell 1400 up to 100°F.

Do bidet seats need a separate circuit?

Bio Bidet recommends one, since sharing can trip the breaker.

How long is a bidet seat warranty?

Three years from Brondell and Bio Bidet, one year from TOTO.

Can I use an extension cord?

Bio Bidet allows only a three-prong cord into a GFCI outlet; an added outlet is better.

How I picked these

Why trust me

I’m Isaac Daniels, a licensed journeyman plumber in Georgia (license #JP507711), and I’ve used all three picks. Every figure comes from Brondell’s, TOTO’s and Bio Bidet’s own spec sheets, manual and product pages, read Oct 24, 2026.
