Whether you want to banish odor and itching, need an alternative to wiping, or just want to feel clean and refreshed when you leave the bathroom, a bidet can do it all. Electric bidet seats offer an ideal blend of style, comfort and affordability. They’re easy to install (most people can knock out installation in about 20 minutes) and solve a range of common bathroom issues. We took on the challenge of finding the five best bidet seats of 2022 so you can get top value for your money.
Electric bidet seats range from bare-bones and simple to feature-packed and luxurious, with price tags to match. The best bidet seats of 2022 come with characteristics and features that we consider “essential”. Plus, they represent a range of price points, so there’s something for every budget. So what’s essential?
Here are our top picks for best bidet seats of 2022. If any of the terms are unfamiliar, check out our Glossary for a quick explanation. For a visual version of this post, check out our Top 5 Best Bidet Seats 2022 video on the Many Bidets You Tube channel.
The Cascade 3000 is a great option if you want a large, comfortable seat, a lid you can sit on (up to 330 lbs) and wide ranging water pressure. It’s also a wonderful choice if you’d benefit from a large remote with big, colorful buttons that are easy to see and operate. In addition, the Cascade is the only bidet seat on our list that will fit on a toilet with French curves.
The Cascade 3000 is built from high quality polypropylene plastic, which is stronger than commonly used ABS plastic. The stainless steel nozzle is more durable and hygienic than nozzles made from other materials, and both the nozzle and internal tubing is coated in a sterile silver nano solution to prevent microbial growth. In addition to standard front, rear and oscillating washes, the Cascade 3000 also offers one of the most generous auto washes on the market: one minute of washing followed by three minutes of drying.
We’re so confident you’ll love the Cascade 3000 that it’s eligible for a 60-day free trial, which is double that of our other free trials! If you try it out and find it’s just not right for you, you can return it anytime within the 60 day window for a full refund. That said, the Cascade 3000 has the lowest return rate of any seat we sell, so chances are good that once you try it, you’ll be hooked!
**PLEASE NOTE** For the sake of full transparency, we want to clarify that Many Bidets owns Dignity Solutions and designed the Cascade 3000.
The Eco Nova is perfect if you’re looking for a seat with a super sleek profile, heavy duty sittable lid (up to 400 lbs), UV nozzle sterilization and a powerful air dryer that dries the fastest of any seat we’ve reviewed. The Eco Nova is one of the only bidet seats with a remote that operates on a radio frequency versus infrared. It’s an ideal choice for bathrooms that are small, dark colored, or have dividing walls, as these features can disrupt infrared signals but won’t stop a radio signal.
The Eco Nova’s nozzle is shaped like a rounded rectangle, so it provides a broader-than-average wash stream without sacrificing power. Plus, the wash pressure can be adjusted from soft to firm, letting you choose what feels best in the moment. While most pulse washes vary water pressure, the Eco Nova’s pulse wash alternates the water temperature between warm and cool. It’s perfect for relaxing tender areas, soothing hemorrhoids or aiding postpartum recovery.
In addition to being constructed from heavy duty polypropylene plastic, the Eco Nova has the slimmest profile of any electric seat we’ve seen. The internals are coated with a silver nano solution that hinders microbial growth, and it even comes with a built-in UV lamp that sterilizes the wand and nozzles. The Eco Nova’s remote is also one of the classiest on the market, crafted from stainless steel with a brushed rose gold finish.
The Eco Nova comes with two years of 100% warranty coverage. It’s also eligible for a 30 day risk free trial, making it great for beginner buyers who want to try it out before committing. With durable construction and a ton of high end features, the Eco Nova offers terrific value for the price.
When it comes to luxury, the TOTO Washlet S550e does not disappoint! This top of the line bidet seat has been in our lineup for years thanks to high end features that offer top notch style, comfort and quality. Don’t let the one year warranty worry you — this seat regularly outlasts others on the market and we don’t get many customer complaints about it.
So what are some of the S550e’s amazing features? For starters, it offers a whopping 6 wash options (front, rear, soft, wide, oscillating and pulse), unlimited warm water, user presets, a deodorizer and a night light. It’s also one of the only seats on the market to have an auto open/close lid, so you never have to touch the unit or worry about accidentally sitting down on the (non-sittable) lid.
From a hygiene standpoint, the S550e is tough to beat. The “pre mist” function automatically detects when someone is preparing to sit down and coats the toilet bowl with a thin layer of water to stop waste from sticking. The S550e uses eWater+ (water that’s been sterilized through electrolysis) to sanitize the nozzles and to pre mist the bowl, providing an extra level of protection against germs.
While the S550e only comes in an elongated seat size, customers needing a round bidet seat need not fret. The TOTO S350e has all the same features as the S550e but is designed specifically for round toilets.
For budget conscious buyers, the Bio Bidet BB-1000 is a winning combination of performance and affordability! It uses 0.32 gallons of water per minute, which is one of the highest water flow rates of any seat on the market. In addition, the BB-1000 offers an enema wash that directs a thin, strong stream of water into the rectum to loosen stool and stimulate the bowels. These features make the BB-1000 a great option if you experience chronic constipation or simply want a powerful wash.
While many customers love the BB-1000’s firm wash stream, even the lowest pressure setting is quite strong and can be too powerful for those with sensitive bottoms. It’s also the only seat on our list with limited warm water. The unit’s tank heater produces around 30 seconds of warm water at a time, followed by a 5 minute reheat period. Additionally, the BB-1000’s seat design makes it less comfortable compared to other units on our list, and it’s constructed from ABS plastic, which is less durable than polypropylene.
The BB-1000 is operated using a large, panel style remote with easy-to-press buttons. Other standout features include a deodorizer that eliminates bathroom smells without scents or chemicals, a pulse wash that alternates the water pressure for added relaxation and a generous 400 lb weight limit. The limited warranty provides three years of coverage: 100% coverage the first year, 75% the second, and 50% the third.
The Brondell Swash 1400 offers the gentlest washes on the market, so it’s a wonderful choice if you have a sensitive bottom and want a wash stream that’s soft and soothing. In addition, the Swash 1400 has three width settings that let you customize the wash coverage. Two user presets give the option of programming your favorite water pressure, temperature and nozzle position into the remote for a personalized, one button wash, providing an extra layer of convenience.
The Swash 1400’s water pressure range is limited, so it’s not the best seat to buy if you want the option of a stronger wash. It’s also not our most comfortable seat since the design provides less sittable space than units like the Cascade 3000 or Eco Nova. We’ve also seen issues with the sittable lid cracking, and Brondell historically hasn’t covered any lid damage under the warranty.
The Brondell Swash 1400 does offer a broad range of luxury amenities including a night light, deodorizer, unlimited warm water, user presets, nozzle oscillation, pulse mode, and silver nano sterilization. The three year limited warranty covers the unit 100% the first year, 75% the second and 50% the third, but it can be extended to a five year full warranty for $99 if you’d prefer more coverage. The Swash 1400 is also eligible for our 30 day risk free trial, making it a great option for first time bidet buyers.
The Bio Bidet BB-2000 offers fantastic features and has been on almost every top 5 list we’ve ever put out, so you may wonder why it didn’t make this year’s list. Over the past year, we’ve received an unprecedented amount of feedback from customers who’ve had problems with the BB-2000’s water heating system. This is unusual for a top of the line seat like the BB-2000, which usually gets rave reviews.
As a result, we simply couldn’t put the BB-2000 on our top 5 list this year. Instead, we’re giving it “honorable mention”. Aside from the issues with the latest batch, it’s a feature packed unit that delivers a top quality cleanse. We are optimistic that the next batch of BB-2000s will be problem-free and hope to include the seat on next year’s list.
Yes! The Swash 1400 and TOTO S550e come in both white and beige.
Wash comfort is tied to water pressure, and what’s comfortable for one customer might be uncomfortable to another. Electric bidets offer a range of water pressures, letting you adjust the wash according to what feels good right then. The diagram below shows the pressure ranges of each seat on this year’s best bidets list.
The Bio Bidet BB-1000 offers the strongest wash pressure, and it really isn’t possible to achieve a “soft” wash on this unit. For that reason, it’s the only bidet seat on this list that we don’t recommend for sensitive bottoms.
The Swash 1400’s wash pressure lands on the gentle end of the spectrum, so if you want the option of a firm wash (in addition to soft washing), this unit isn’t for you. On the other hand, the Swash 1400’s gentle feel makes it a good option if you’re sensitive due to fissures, hemorrhoids, childbirth or something else.
The remaining three units – the Eco Nova, Cascade 3000 and Swash S550e – offer a broad range of pressures. None offer wash pressure as strong as the BB-1000, but the soft pressure settings are comparable to the Swash 1400.
Features like nozzle oscillation or pulse wash are also great for soothing tender tissue and increasing wash comfort. The Cascade 3000 offers oscillation, and the Eco Nova and TOTO S550e offer both oscillation and pulse wash. The S550e even offers a dedicated “soft” setting for times when your undercarriage needs a little extra pampering.
Only the Cascade 3000, Eco Nova and Swash 1400 have lids that can support the weight of an adult. The Cascade’s lid supports 330 lbs, the Eco Nova’s supports up to 400 lbs, and the Swash 1400 can support 270 lbs.
The Cascade 3000’s 4-year full warranty is the longest and most generous on our Best Bidet Seats of 2022 list. The Bio Bidet BB-1000 and Swash 1400 both offer 3 year warranties, but they are limited. This means they provide 100% coverage for the first year, 75% coverage for the second, and 50% coverage for the third. The Eco Nova’s full warranty offers 100% coverage for 2 years, and the TOTO S550e comes with a 1 year warranty.
It’s worth noting that a seat like the TOTO S550e is very high quality. In fact, the S550e tends to outlast other seats on the market, and we get very few customer complaints about them. In other words, if this bidet catches your eye, don’t let the short warranty scare you off!
Yes! The BB-1000 is the only seat on our Best of 2022 list to offer an enema wash. This strong, thin wash stream is specifically designed to soften hard stool and jump start bowel movements, making it a great feature if you deal with constipation.
All of the picks on our best bidet seats of 2022 list come with wireless remote controls. Wireless remotes usually come with a docking station that can be mounted to the wall, giving you a safe place to store it when you’re not using the bidet. It can be placed at hand height or closer to the floor if you plan to operate the controls with your feet. In general, remotes are easier to operate than control panels attached to the side of the seat.
Remote controls come in a variety of sizes. We recommend a panel-style remote with large buttons if you have tremors, limited mobility, or will be using a foot or elbow to control the buttons. Both the Cascade 3000 and the BB-1000 offer this type of remote.
Most remotes operate using an infrared signal. However, these may have issues if your bathroom is very small bathroom or has dark walls or partitions. In those instances, we recommend a remote that operates on a radio frequency, such as the Eco Nova’s.
Some remotes are designed with stye in mind! The Eco Nova’s stainless steel remote has a stylish rose gold finish and feels utterly luxurious. Additionally, TOTO consistently designs some of sleekest and most elegant remotes on the market. While the TOTO S550e’s slim, lightweight remote is actually crafted from plastic, it looks like brushed stainless steel.
For hygiene reasons, most bidet seats can’t be returned once they’re removed from the package. However, three of the best bidet seats of 2022 are eligible for free trials! A free trial lets you try out the seat and return it for any reason within the trial window. The Eco Nova and Brondell Swash 1400 come with a 30-day free trial, and the Cascade 3000 is eligible for a 60-day free trial.
