Every electric bidet seat sold in America is chasing a product TOTO shipped in 1980, and the Washlet C5 is the version of the original most people should buy. The wash is warm from the first second because the seat heats its own water, the seat itself is heated, and the wand rinses itself with EWATER+, TOTO's electrolyzed water, before and after every use. PREMIST wets the bowl ahead of use so less sticks to it. These are the details a category inventor gets right and clones copy badly.
The buying math is what makes the C5 our top pick rather than the flagship S7A below: at $468.98 verified, it undercuts the Brondell S1400 and the BioBidet Bliss while carrying the strongest brand in the category. If your bathroom has an outlet within reach of the toilet, this is the one. If it does not, read our install-reality section below before spending anything.
Our Pick
The sweet spot of the entire category. TOTO invented the Washlet and has been refining it since 1980, and the C5 is the model where the essentials, warm water, heated seat, remote control, and TOTO's PREMIST and EWATER+ self-cleaning tech, land at a mid-tier price. This is the bidet we would put in our own bathroom.
Anyone ready to do the electric seat properly the first time. The C5 comes from the company that defined the product, the wand-cleaning tech addresses the hygiene question better than any attachment can, and at $468.98 verified it costs less than several rivals with weaker pedigrees.
What we don't like
It needs an outlet near the toilet, which many American bathrooms do not have, and this listing fits elongated bowls, so measure before you buy. The remote is easy to live with but one more thing to mount.
