The Best Bidet Toilet Seats and Attachments of 2023

The Toto Washlet C200 was frustrating to install, but that was the only downside to a bidet that works like a dream. This is the bidet we chose for our own home after testing.

The materials, while absolutely top-tier, are solid and durable. The remote features a smooth aesthetic and large, easy-to-read buttons. They control front and rear wash, pulsating and oscillation, and the pressure and position of the water. There’s a dryer, and you can store user presets for two people, so you each use the cleaning settings you want with ease.

The back of the remote has an LCD screen and temperature adjustments for the water, heated seat, and dryer. You also adjust the self-cleaning and the energy saver mode here. While a two-sided remote is a little unusual, it’s one of the best we’ve found in terms of actual usability.

The remote was responsive wherever we held it, even doing its job from the next room over. While some bidet remotes are finicky, everything about this one–-even battery installation—was easier than others.

On top of that, this bidet gave one of the best cleans we got from any test model. It takes a second to gear up, like most bidet seats do, but the delay isn’t a huge concern. Some features like the pre-mist and deodorizer weren’t particularly helpful, but many were.

Brondell’s SE400 drops some high-end features from the Swash 1400, and not all of the parts are as durable. But the core quality of the cleaning experience is there, the side control panel is easy to use, and there are some great features for the price point.

In addition to angle and pressure adjustments, you get hot and cold water, a pulsing “massage” function, and an auto mode that runs through a cleaning cycle for you. Most of the features missing here are less-helpful ones, like the deodorizer. This is a fantastic bidet, if you don’t need the remote control.

The nozzle placement feels a little unusual, and we often used the front wash as an all-purpose wash. The good news is that it excels at it, even if that wasn’t the intent.

Omigo’s marketing is a little cheeky. Between that and the straightforward installation, this is an approachable first bidet.

The solid array of features includes a front and rear wash, pressure and spray width adjustments, and warmers for the water and seat. You can store presets that will remember pressure and temperature settings for two users.

Unfortunately, the controls aren’t as easy to navigate as some others, requiring careful reading of the manual. For instance, to turn the LED night light off, you need to press two buttons at the same time.

The remote is also frustrating. There were symbols for features our model didn’t have. Meanwhile, some functionality can only be found on the seat itself. The remote requires four C2032 batteries, and the unyielding battery hatch required a screwdriver to open every single time.

Like many similar models, it takes a while for the water to spin up, regardless of water temperature. But it cleans well, and the adjustable spray width is unique and user-friendly.

The Bio Bidet Elite3 is straightforward, but it's fantastically effective and well-crafted. Installation was simple, and the materials were solid, including some sturdy metal parts where others use plastic.

The controls are basic but versatile, offering a wide range of angles and pressure. It’s comfortable to use, cleans well, and priced generously. It’s thin enough to have a low profile, but doesn’t feel flimsy.

There aren’t many special features, but that’s typical of attachments. Unless you want to run a warm water line from your sink, you’ll have to make do with cold water.

The Luxe Bidet Neo 120 is an extremely straightforward, well-made attachment. It comes with very clear instructions and a disarming array of bathroom puns on the box. They even included plumbers’ tape.

Materials are solid, including several metal pieces, which is unusual but welcome for attachments. The adjustable water stream isn’t as helpful as some other attachment models. We often scooted on the seat to be closer to the stream, rather than redirecting the flow. The cleaning is effective, but the water pressure can be a bit much at times, and it’s easy to turn the knob to a place that causes discomfort.

The SE600 is extremely similar to the SE400, but adds a remote control and the accessibility advantages that come with not having to crane your neck down and squint to read buttons that may be obscured by your thigh. It also adds an activated charcoal deodorizer that eliminates odors and cycles them through a vent system. Like many models, the deodorizing smell was a bit odd and we didn’t use it often.

Unfortunately for the SE600, its big draw—the remote—was frustrating. It doesn’t always work unless you get it in a very specific range. We found ourselves on the toilet, frantically waving our arms trying to get the remote to connect.

The remote’s control panel is minimalist but useful. LEDs indicate nozzle positioning, water pressure, and the temperature of the water, seat, and air dryer. There’s a pulsing massage, an oscillation feature (unhelpfully labeled “move”) and an auto mode.

Brondell’s SE400 is a fantastic workhorse bidet seat at a reasonable price. The SE600 is meant to be an improvement, but the frustrating remote actually makes it worse.

The Alpha Bidet JX is a perfectly serviceable bidet, but its price range places it in competition with the Toto Washlet C200, and it suffers for the comparison. It’s not bad at all: Thoughtful engineering went into making the installation easy, and important bits of plumbing are made from metal and sturdy plastic.

The included remote control was decently intuitive, but it was also extremely finicky. If you aren’t holding it in just the right place at just the right angle, it may not communicate with the bidet. Meanwhile, the remote’s indicators will change even if the bidet doesn’t.

That means that the remote will indicate a pressure or temperature that doesn’t match what the bidet is doing—until you get the remote in range, and it slams into action. You can accidentally shoot the water pressure from 0 to 100 in an instant if you’re not careful, which is a pretty unwelcome surprise.

Overall, the Alpha offers a decent clean and some nice features. It has a wash and dry cycle, adjustable seat, water and air-dry temperature options, and more. But at the end of the day, the Toto Washlet C200 does a better job, for a similar price, with a much more reliable remote.

While we love Bio Bidet’s attachments, their seat didn’t quite stack up to the competition in its price range. The remote is serviceable, if difficult to figure out at first, and the performance is solid. However, there is one significant note about the Bio Bidet BB-2000.

There is a button on the remote with an image of a jet of water shooting towards a person. It looks a bit like the Death Star trench run from Star Wars, and it attempts to shoot water inside of you to deal with constipation.

If this works, it could be valuable for some. However, for sensitive people or those with hemorrhoids, it is very painful, and it’s too easy for a curious person to press it and harm themselves while trying to parse the remote’s confusing symbols.

The Bio Bidet Bliss is a solid experience. There are a few unnecessary features and a lot of great ones. Unfortunately, it loses points for obtuse controls, and for how easy it is to hurt yourself with the touch of a button.

The Ace electric bidet is Tushy’s first entry into the seat space. They call it the “Apple of bidets,” and that’s true inasmuch as Apple emphasizes aesthetics over functionality. This product is slick-looking—rounded, white, glowing, and less bulky than many of its counterparts.

The Ace is okay, with features comparable to other high-end models. But those features aren’t always implemented as well as other products in the price range. The water jet is weirdly intense, forcing users to choose between efficiency and comfort.

Sitting far back enough to be hit by the "bum" option caused some concerning creaks, though like most bidets the “front” wash works well enough as an all-purpose option. The drying feature is a bit anemic, focusing narrowly rather than drying the entire area affected by the water spray.

The Ace does have some upsides. It’s better-looking than just about any option out there, and the remote is one of the few options that isn’t downright ugly. Unfortunately that streamlining affects the functionality.

Most of the options are activated by pressing the feature to adjust, then returning to the lone set of plus/minus buttons. Other features require reading the manual to know which buttons to hold down or press in tandem. It’s not intuitive, but you can get used to it.

The Ace belongs in its category, but despite its visual polish, some of its features don’t work as smoothly as its more-established competition.

There's a lot about the Tushy that immediately seems nicer and friendlier than some of the other attachment models. Its packaging eschews plastic for recyclable paper. The directions are comprehensive and easy to follow, and warn you of potential issues.

There were thoughtful inclusions like plumbers’ tape for shoring up pipe connections, and most (though not all) of the materials feel solid and durable.

The Tushy’s performance is serviceable, but not incredible. It’s decently adjustable, but not as flexible as some of the other models we tested. Like every attachment we tested with a hot water option, it requires you to run a line under from your sink.

Omigo’s Element attachment is well-constructed, made of thin plastic and is appropriately firm, with durable metal parts for the plumbing. The manual was a little unclear on installation, but if you get past that, you have a solid bidet.

There’s about a half-turn of water pressure flexibility in each direction—one for the front, one for the rear, inclusively-named and comprehensive. You probably don’t want to use full power, though. In testing, it shot across the bathroom and hit the ceiling.

The water spray feels a little unwieldy somehow. It doesn’t leave as much water to dry as some bidets do, but it’s also not incredibly effective. We often had to go back and give the Element a second blast to really get things cleaned.

One downside: The bidet passes through the self-cleaning setting every time you turn it on and off. This feels a bit like a waste of water, and it slows down the response time from turning it on to actually getting clean.

GenieBidet was the first device we tried installing, and that’s how we know that their customer service representatives are very helpful.

The GenieBidet is streamlined in a lot of ways. The thin plastic doesn’t feel as substantial as some of its competition, but it’s certainly sleek. The controls are extremely simple, relegated to a single two-way knob.

There was a mixture of sturdy and cheaper parts, but all in all the GenieBidet feels solid to be as light as it is. A water pressure valve on the T-adapter adds a novel point of water pressure control, which is useful since this bidet attachment can generate a lot of pressure. Even at half-power, this GenieBidet was a little jumpy, leading to discomfort more often than some other models.

The controls can be a little frustrating to operate. If you don’t get that knob dead center, water will keep trickling out. But it aims for a small, simple, straightforward experience, and it hits that target well.

The Astor uses a similar mounting system as the Tushy and Bio Bidet attachments, so the fact that it was incredibly difficult to install is a case study in the importance of clear instructions. Even after installation, it felt very tenuously attached.

Parts are cheap, too. The water supply line is a rubber hose that secures with a plastic bolt. None of it feels well made, and none of it feels like it can support a person’s weight for very long.

This bidet is decent at best. The wash is often painful, and has no front wash option. This bidet does only one thing, and does it with far more gusto than delicacy.
