Imagine a bidet seat that simplifies your hygiene routine down to just one button press. Enter auto washing, a convenient feature that jumpstarts a complete wash cycle followed by a drying phase. While auto washing might not steal the limelight like other flashy bidet functions, its efficiency is a game-changer, turning multiple steps into a single, effortless action.

Auto wash isn’t just convenient; it can also be a game-changer for those with physical or cognitive limitations since it streamlines the wash and dry process. It’s also useful for helpers who are looking for easy ways to help their loved one get clean while preserving personal privacy.

In this post, we explore the top three bidet seats with auto wash features: the Cascade 3000, the Eco Nova, and the Blooming R1570.  These seats merge practicality with innovation, refining your bathroom experience in the most convenient and efficient ways possible.

Auto Wash versus User Presets: What’s the Difference?

At face value, user presets and auto wash might look similar because both involve a single button press, but there are actually some key differences. Auto wash is designed to get users clean and partially dry, whereas user presets are designed to give users a totally customized cleanse – drying is not involved. Auto wash usually employs “medium” temperature, pressure and nozzle settings during the wash and dry. In contrast, user presets let you choose your preferred water pressure, temperature, position and spray settings ahead of time.

Deciding between the two is really a matter of personal priorities. If wash customization is most important to you, you’ll be happiest with a seat that has user presets. If you’d rather maximize convenience and simplicity, a seat with auto wash will suit you best. If both sound good, you’ll be glad to hear that a few bidet seats, including the Brondell Swash 1400, even come with both.

Without further ado, let’s dive into our list of best bidets with auto wash!

Cascade 3000 with Remote

Cascade 3000

Meet the Cascade 3000 bidet seat – one of the MVPs in the world of bathroom upgrades. This seat is one of our highest rated bidets for a reason! Think of it as a reliable companion in your hygiene journey. It doesn’t just cleanse, it offers luxury and ease every step of the way.

Auto washing is just one of the Cascade’s fantastic features. And like everything the Cascade does, the auto wash feature goes above and beyond to make your toileting experience better. It’s one of the most generous auto wash cycles on the market, offering a thorough 60 second, oscillating wash followed by a 3 minute dry. 

Let’s talk about some of the other reasons our staff and customers love the Cascade. The ultra comfortable, heated seat offers a warm welcome, and with adjustable water temperature, water pressure and optional oscillation, you’re in total control of your comfort throughout the wash. The wash spray is voluminous and refreshing, never sharp or irritating. Navigating the Cascade 3000 is also a breeze. The simple controls are so user-friendly that even your grandma would find it a cinch to operate.

The Cascade is crafted from high quality materials designed to last. The seat’s shell is constructed from strong polypropylene plastic with an antimicrobial coating, and the nozzle is made out of hygienic, stainless steel. While many bidet lids are fragile and prone to breaking, the Cascade’s lid can support up to 330 lbs, so you can use it as an extra seat in the bathroom. Last but not least, the Cascade’s nozzle and interior tubing are coated in a silver nano solution that keeps water crystal clean as it travels from your water pipes to your bum.

Why settle for the basics when you can have the best? The Cascade 3000 isn’t just a bidet seat; it’s a reliable addition that transforms your bathroom into a haven of comfort and convenience.

Eco Nova

With a full suite of luxury features, the Eco Nova bidet seat is on a mission to provide top-tier comfort, cleanliness and personal hygiene. It eclipses the competition with an exceptional auto wash that doesn’t skimp: 90 seconds of wash time followed by a 4 minute dry. It’s nearly impossible for personal cleansing to get any more convenient!

The Eco Nova comes with rear and front wash options, as well as nozzle oscillation and a hot/cold pulse setting that’s exceptionally refreshing. The instant water heater provides unlimited warm water, which is a must if you value comfort!

Users can dial up the wash pressure for a firmer feel or tone it down so it’s gentler on the skin, but be aware that the Eco Nova doesn’t offer a true “soft” wash option. In fact, some of our testers felt that the front wash was a bit too strong for comfort, even on the mildest setting. And because the spray is more defined compared to the Cascade or TOTO brand bidets we sell, even the rear wash might be too much for extra sensitive bottoms. Overall however, the Eco Nova’s wash goes above and beyond, leaving users feeling rejuvenated and confident in their personal hygiene.

Another of the Eco Nova’s standout features is its cutting-edge UV sterilization system. In a world where cleanliness is paramount, this technology thoroughly sterilizes the nozzles after every use. 

Beyond its technical prowess, the Eco Nova doesn’t compromise on user comfort. The bidet seat is ergonomically designed for maximum sittability. It even features a built-in heater to keep your bum warm. As our testers can attest, there’s really nothing better than sitting down on a toasty seat on a cold winter morning!

The stylish, rose gold remote uses radio frequency, which is more reliable than the typical infrared bidet remote, saving you from the frustration of a malfunctioning control. Our testers especially loved the luxe look and hand feel of the remote, which is crafted from brushed stainless steel.

The Eco Nova is also one of the most streamlined bidets we sell. The thin silhouette has crisp contours that lend an updated, contemporary look to any bathroom. It’s made from durable polypropylene plastic and even comes with a built-in night light that illuminates the bowl in low light.

From technology to aesthetics, the Eco Nova more than just a bidet; it’s a statement piece in your bathroom that says, “I’ve embraced modern comfort.” When you want a high end, auto washing bidet without a premium price tag, the Eco Nova is the way to go.

Blooming R1570

The Blooming R1570 combines top-notch cleansing with affordability, offering a unique blend of standard and rare features at a surprisingly moderate price point. With this seat, you’ll enjoy an auto open sittable lid, LED night light, stainless steel wand, deodorizer, front/rear cleansing, warm air drying and auto wash. But what really sets it apart is its exceptional value: it’s roughly half the cost of other bidet seats offering similar feature sets.

Another unique perk is that the Blooming R1570’s nozzle tip can be easily removed for deep cleaning or replacement. While nozzle issues are rare, they can happen, especially if you have hard water. In these situations, it’s nice to have the option of fixing any nozzle problems at home without needing to mail the seat to the dealer for repair.

Every rose has its thorn, and bidet seats are no different. In terms of downsides, a big one is that the Blooming R1570 bidet has limited warm water. The tank heating system stores enough warm water for 30-60 seconds of wash time. After that, the wash cools down and uses cold water until the tank can refill and reheat.

The R1570 also has a fairly short auto wash cycle, clocking in at just two minutes for an oscillating cleanse and dry (that’s a one minute wash and one minute dry). One minute is nowhere near enough time for a bidet air dryer to work its magic, so you’ll either have to pat dry with toilet paper at the end or press the “dry” button several more times.

Third, the Blooming 1570 is an older model and it’s very bulky compared to newer bidet seats. The lid can support up to around 300 lbs, which is a rare find in the bidet world, but it’s not nearly as sleek and streamlined as some of the other heavy-duty, sittable lid bidets we sell (looking at you, Ultra Nova!) It also doesn’t have any sterilization features, though the nozzles automatically rinse before and after use.

Last, the auto open lid is a fantastic convenience feature, but it doesn’t close automatically – users have to do that the old fashioned way.

These considerations aside, the Blooming 1570 is a solid choice if you’re looking for autowash pampering that won’t burn a hole in your pocketbook!
