The Best Toilet Bidets in 2021 | Bidet Seat and Attachment Reviews

We Americans have had a long-running affair with toilet paper, remaining convinced there's only one right way to clean our backsides. If 2020 taught us anything, though, it's that toilet paper can come, and it can go. And when it goes, there will be panic and chaos. 

Maybe that's why we've started to wonder how other people around the world manage their dirty little secrets in the bathroom. Most Japanese households make use of bidets, and bidets are widely used throughout Europe—Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal are big fans—and many Arab nations. So, what's our hesitation? If you ask a bunch of people that question you're likely to get an embarrassed shrug, then they'll say something like this: "I dunno; it's just kind of weird."

While it's true many of us once considered a butt bath a strange phenomenon, maybe this is one of the many ways a pandemic can change people. Demand for bidets has skyrocketed and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. As one bidet brand, Omigo, says on its packaging materials: The future is always weird at first. 

If buying a bidet is in your future, but you just don't know where to start, we've got you. Health editors took a look at the hottest bidet attachments and bidet seats on the market to help you find the one that will rinse your rear just the way you like. We even tested a handful of options to give you details about how well they work, the best and worst features, and whether installation really is a breeze like many companies suggest.

The Best Bidet Seats

It’s the Omigo luxury model that thrilled Health editors with all its bells and whistles, including customizable wash settings that allow you to choose your preferred water temperature, pressure, spray angle, and spray width. Even the most particular bidet users will be able to get it just right. You have the option to customize both a frontside and backside wash too, which is an important feature for many female buyers. 

You won’t get sprayed with a stream of cold water while you wait for water to warm like you do with many bidet attachments, thanks to the tankless water heater. You also won’t get sprayed in the face accidentally (which did happen to Health editors in testing other products). A skin contact safety sensor allows the device to spray only when someone is seated. If you have young children in your home, this may be an important safeguard to protect your bathroom.

The bidet seat is self-cleaning with retractable silver ion nozzles; no need to worry about an extra item in the bathroom to clean. If keeping your carbon footprint low is of utmost importance, you’ll appreciate the drying option that allows you to forgo toilet paper forever. Pro tip: If you live in a busy household with several people sharing a bathroom, the deodorizer will become your best friend. It works, and it’s a game changer. 

Omigo offers a quality product with all the features you want at a lower price point than other luxury brands, making it our top pick.

The Bliss BB-2000 is a crowd pleaser, and for good reason. It has everything you’ll want in a high-end bidet seat along with some standout features that set it apart from the rest. The Bliss series uses a three-in-one nozzle system instead of the dual nozzles used by other brands. While all of the other bidet seats on our list are known to have good water pressure, this one is noted to be much stronger. 

Forceful water pressure may be especially important for users weighing over 250 pounds. In addition to stronger pressure, the Bliss BB-2000 also uses a greater volume of water with each spray. If water conservation is your concern, this may not be your choice. Keep in mind that the stronger power means more noise and a slightly bulkier design too. 

The Bliss BB-2000 also has an enema feature, which isn’t available with other brands. The spray is narrow but very powerful—strong enough to provide relief from constipation. Like other brands, Bio Bidet offers a remote control, but it’s more complex and harder to use than Brondell or Omigo remotes. 

If aesthetics are a concern, note the Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000 has a silver finish at the top of the seat and the option to use a black or white remote. While some may prefer these color options, it isn’t ideal if you want your bidet to blend in seamlessly. 

The company says it’s best to connect directly to a dedicated GFI outlet. While other bidet seats require a GFI outlet, this one should be dedicated (meaning the bidet is the only thing using the outlet). If necessary, you can use an extension cord but be sure it’s a three-prong heavy duty extension cord. 

Price: $699

Requirements: Dedicated GFI electrical outlet

Installation: 20 to 30 minutes; fairly easy; no plumbing required; all parts included

Features: Front and back washes, hybrid heating technology, three-in-one stainless steel nozzle system, highest water volume and water pressure spray, remote control, bubble-infused feminine wash, self-cleaning nozzles, touch screen side panel, heated seat, night-light, body sensor, slow-closing lid

Warranty: Three-year 100% warranty

Financing:Yes. Pay as little as $64 per month through Affirm

Known in the industry for producing high-quality products, Brondell offers a truly luxurious bidet seat with the Swash 1400. This model offers all of the upgrades—adjustable warm water, front and back washes, heated seat, night-light, self-cleaning nozzles, drying, deodorizer, adjustable spray angle and pressure, and more. 

With a user-friendly remote control, it’s easy for everyone to use. You can even program the preferred settings for two users, making it even simpler. Those who worry about the sanitary nature of bidets in general will be pleased to know this model uses a self-cleaning process the company describes as an antifungal and antibacterial silver oxide nanoparticle water treatment. It’s unknown how this system compares in effectiveness to other brands, but the company touts its superior cleaning ability. 

Most people don’t realize you’re not supposed to sit on the lid of a bidet seat; many of the lids are flimsy and can’t support an adult’s weight. If you’re a lid sitter, look no further because the Swash 1400 can support up to 300 pounds.

The Swash isn’t as powerful as the Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000, but it also doesn’t require a dedicated outlet. This is one of the few brands offering a beige color variety, so if you have a beige toilet, this one’s for you. 

Price: $649

Requirements: GFI electrical outlet

Installation: 20 to 30 minutes; fairly easy; no plumbing required; all parts included

Features: Two adjustable nozzles for front and back washing, unlimited warm water, heated seat, blue night-light, programmable user settings, replaceable carbon-filter deodorizer, adjustable spray nozzles to choose width and pressure, warm air dryer, cordless remote, stainless steel nozzles and on-demand nozzle sterilizer, beige color option, sturdy lid holds up to 300 lbs

Warranty: Three-year limited warranty

Financing: Yes. Pay as little as $55 per month through Affirm

Toto is the most well-known bidet company, having first pioneered the product in the 1980s. Washlet is the Toto name for its electric bidet toilet seat, and much like Kleenex facial tissues or Q-tips, the brand name has become almost interchangeable with the name of the product. In the world of plumbing and toilets, Toto is known for quality and reliability.

One feature Toto offers that other brands don’t is a premist cleansing, which is a spray of the toilet bowl before use that prevents waste from adhering to the bowl, keeping your toilet clean and sanitary. Toto also offers a beige-colored seat, which is available through Brondell, but not many other brands offer a beige option. 

The C100 and C200 (two of the most popular Toto models) employ a tank water heater. This means you’ll get up to 40 seconds of heated water, and then—surprise—cold water. This stands in stark contrast to the limitless warm water of tankless water heaters, but those are offered at higher price points. However, the C100 and C200 both offer great value, with the C200 offering the benefit of a remote control instead of a side panel. 

Price: Approximately $420–$490 (prices vary depending on the retailer)

Requirements: GFI electrical outlet 

Installation: 20 to 30 minutes; fairly easy; no plumbing required; all parts included

Features: Deodorizer, automatic open/close or soft-close lid, remote control or side panel, heated seat, warm air dryer, adjustable water temperature and volume, unlimited warm water, multiple user settings, premist cleaning, oscillating and pulsating cleansing options, self-cleaning nozzles

Warranty: One-year limited warranty

Financing: Varies by retailer

The Best Bidet Attachments
If you're looking for the bidet functionality on a budget, a bidet attachment is a great option. A bidet attachment is also the way to go if you don't have an electrical outlet accessible to the toilet, but you'll have to forgo the perks of electricity like the night-light, seat warming, air dryer, and deodorizer. 

Keep in mind as you shop for bidet attachments: Less expensive options will use cold or ambient water. These models are also the easiest to install since they connect directly to your toilet's clean waterline.  

The higher-priced models offer a warm water wash and adjustable water temperature, but you'll need to connect to your sink's hot waterline. This isn't as complicated as it sounds, but it's more involved than attaching to the toilet line. With this method of heating water, though, you may get a spray of cold water before the warm water is delivered. This can be prevented with some attachments by leaving the water nozzle turned to warm.
