TOTO WASHLET bidet seats were first introduced in 1980; since then, TOTO has engineered a small fleet of bidet seat products guaranteed to capture any potential buyer's interest. Incorporating warm-water cleansing into people’s personal hygiene routine birthed a new personal cleanliness culture – a switch from wiping to washing -- praised by millions across the globe. By 1998, TOTO had sold over ten million WASHLETS and over fifty million by 2020. It’s no secret that comfort and cleanliness are top priorities for TOTO and remain core characteristics that account for TOTO’s WASHLET products being superior every time.

WASHLET Bidet Seat Configurator
To guide you on your bidet journey, TOTO introduces its WASHLET Bidet Seat Configurator – the first of its kind. With this tool, you can quickly identify the product that is the best match for you and your home. The questionnaire takes approximately two minutes to complete and is constructed with you in mind.
To begin, you’re prompted with an option to choose between WASHLET and WASHLET +. This is an important distinction as the bidet seat replaces the toilet seat on your already installed toilet. The WASHLET+ is the bidet seat and toilet all in one. Once you have selected your product, you’re then asked how you want the water heated. Do you want an internal reservoir or an instantaneous water heater? TOTO wants your water heating preferences to be customized and fit your everyday needs accurately.
Next, you’re asked about the shape of your bowl – elongated or round. TOTO WASHLET bidet seat fits virtually all toilets sold in North America. You will then have the option of choosing a stylish, user-friendly remote or a convenient arm panel. Either option will enable you to program – or turn off – the WASHLET features as you see fit. Next, you can choose the color you prefer -- Cotton or Sedona beige – for your new TOTO WASHLET bidet seat.
For example, imagine you want a WASHLET bidet seat with instantaneous water heating, an automatic open and close lid, for an elongated bowl, in the color cotton. Your quiz result would populate with the WASHLET® S550E - CONTEMPORARY - ELONGATED WITH EWATER+.
Embodying a contemporary, sleek design, the WASHLET® S550E - CONTEMPORARY - ELONGATED WITH EWATER+ is an excellent option for design-forward bathroom environments. Fully automated with TOTO’s top-of-the-line features enables this WASHLET bidet seat to rank highly amongst our customers with over nine hundred and forty-five reviews at a five-star rating.
