Omigo Luxury Bidet Toilet Seat

The Omigo SL’s heated seat and warm water keep you comfortable, as does the highly adjustable spray. But it lacks air drying. Read More

Pros

  • Comfortable
  • Versatile, adjustable spray
  • Solid cleaning job

Cons

  • Counterintuitive controls
  • No air dryer
  • A little slow on the draw

Popular around the world, bidets started entering the American mainstream during the COVID-19 lockdowns. But how do they work, and how do you find a good one?

Bidet seats and attachments affix to your existing toilet and use a stream of water to wash you after using the restroom. It leaves you feeling cleaner, and it creates a lot less paper waste.

After months spent testing over a dozen bidets, the Brondell Swash 1400 (available at Amazon) is the best bidet toilet seat you can buy. If you prefer a more affordable solution, consider our best bidet attachment, the Luxe Bidet Neo 320 (available at Amazon).

But there are plenty of models available, with a wide variety of features and price points, that are all worth considering, and pretty much every single one of them beats using toilet paper.

We chose the Brondell Swash 1400 as our best bidet because it's a comfortable, thorough clean.

Best Overall
Brondell Swash 1400

Brondell consistently excels in our experience and in testing, and the Swash is no exception. It includes a deodorizer, a seat warmer, air drying, warm water, pre-programmable user settings for two people, and more.

Some of these features are more useful than others. The warm air dryer is fantastic. Conversely, the deodorizer’s chemical smell is unpleasant and sterilizing the nozzle with silver nanoparticles feels extreme.

Still, the overall washing experience-including cleanliness, comfort, and adjustability—rocketed this one to the top.

The remote control is easy to use, and the bidet responds well to it. This offers a big accessibility advantage over seat-mounted controls, which can be obscured by your thighs, and are pretty far away if you have vision trouble.

This is the priciest model we tested, but the performance absolutely backs up the price tag.

Pros

  • Comfortable, thorough clean

  • Solid construction

  • Wide variety of extra features

Cons

  • Expensive

  • Deodorizer leaves an odd smell

  • Sanitizer and deodorizer require refill purchases

The Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus is the best bidet attachment you can buy.

Best Value
Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus

The relatively-new Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus unseated the Bio Bidet Elite3 as our Best Value pick and our favorite attachment. The innovative design means that you can install it without removing your toilet seat, and it flips up so that you can easily clean under and around it.

It provides thorough cleaning, and is far and away the most comfortable attachment we tested. It offers an impressive range of angles and pressure options, as well as a self-cleaning feature that washes both the nozzles and the splash guard that protects them.

There are some downsides. Like most attachments, if you want hot water, you’ll have to run a line out from under your sink. Additionally, the controls are close enough to the toilet seat that it’s possible to turn them on with your thighs. Still, the upgraded performance and versatility outshine these issues.

Read our full review of the Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus.

Pros

  • Easy to clean

  • Good water performance

Cons

  • Controls can be hard to see

  • Not as feature-filled as a bidet seat


Other Bidet Toilet Seats and Attachments We Tested

Product image of Toto Washlet C200 Elongated
Toto Washlet C200

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.

Pros

  • Fantastic clean

  • Adjustable water and air

  • Great remote

Cons

  • Not all features are necessary

  • Difficult installation

Product image of Brondell Swash SE400
Brondell Swash SE400

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.

Pros

  • Great clean

  • Includes advanced extra features

Cons

  • Lack of remote

  • Some pieces lack sturdiness

Product image of Omigo Luxury Bidet Toilet Seat
Omigo Luxury Bidet Toilet Seat

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.

Pros

  • Comfortable

  • Versatile, adjustable spray

  • Solid cleaning job

Cons

  • Counterintuitive controls

  • No air dryer

  • A little slow on the draw

Product image of Bio Bidet Elite3
Bio Bidet Elite3

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.

Pros

  • Fantastic pressure range

  • Good, thorough clean

  • Easy to use

Cons

  • No warm water

  • No special features

Product image of Luxe Bidet Neo 120
Luxe Bidet Neo 120

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.

Pros

  • Easy installation

  • Straightforward controls

  • Solid materials

Cons

  • Doesn’t quite aim where you want

  • Occasional discomfort

Product image of Brondell Swash SE600
Brondell Swash SE600

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.

Pros

  • Great clean

  • Includes warm air and water features

  • Pulsing and oscillating water pressure

Cons

  • Finicky remote

Product image of Alpha JX
Alpha JX

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.

Pros

  • Solid clean

  • Thoughtful engineering in places

  • Above-average construction

Cons

  • Remote is difficult to use

Product image of Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000
Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000

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.

Pros

  • Lots of features

  • Solidly built

Cons

  • Unintuitive controls

Product image of Tushy Ace Electric Bidet Seat
Tushy Ace Electric Bidet Seat

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.

Pros

  • Beautiful design

  • Streamlined remote

Cons

  • Intense water jet

  • Narrow drying

Product image of Tushy Classic
Tushy Classic

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.

Pros

  • Focus on sustainability

  • Easy to install

  • Handsome customization options

Cons

  • Some materials could be more substantial

  • Not very adjustable

Product image of Omigo Element
Omigo Element

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.

Pros

  • Well built

  • Decent adjustability

  • Inclusive language

Cons

  • Not the most pristine clean

  • Nozzle cleaning delays wash

Product image of GenieBidet Ellegantz
GenieBidet Ellegantz

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.

Pros

  • Light

  • Small

  • Well-engineered

Cons

  • Control knob can be finicky

  • LOTS of water pressure

Product image of Astor CB-1000
Astor CB-100

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.

Pros

  • None that we could find

Cons

  • Poor construction

  • Least effective clean

  • Painful to use


How We Test Bidets Seats and Attachments

The Tests

Credit: Reviewed / Michael Garrett Steele

To test bidet toilet seats and attachments, we called in more than a dozen products.

To get to the bottom of the best bidets, we researched the most popular and best-beloved models, and tested just over a dozen electric bidet seats and toilet seat attachments. Since then, we’ve periodically tested new ones to see how they stack up.

We install each product according to its instructions, then spend roughly a week with it, using it as part of our everyday routine, and putting it through tests. We try every feature. We experiment to see whether the controls were intuitive, then check the manual for any features we missed.

We rate each bidet according to whether certain key features are present, ease of installation, ease of use, the adjustability and responsiveness of the controls, the effectiveness of the cleaning (and drying), and more.

We evaluate its stability, how easy it is to use and clean, and whether any settings are painful. ( There are consequences to finding the outer limits of that many bidets. But we’re professionals here and dedicated to our work.)

What You Should Know About Bidet Seats and Attachments

How to Install a Bidet

Your bidet can take some getting used to, and an easy installation can make the process less intimidating. Installation is very similar for both bidet attachments and seats.

Turn off the water to the toilet, and flush until it’s empty. Then disconnect the water supply to your tank and add a T-adapter to the water line. This adapter, which should come with the bidet, is a joint that lets water flow to both the toilet tank and the bidet.

The bidet itself goes into the holes where your toilet seat mounts. Attachments install beneath the seat, and then the seat’s screws hold both the seat and the bidet under it in place. For bidet seats, you’ll install a mounting bracket onto the toilet, then slide the seat onto the bracket, replacing your old toilet seat.

How to Use a Bidet

Using a bidet is simple: After going to the bathroom, turn on the water and let it clean you. Most bidets let you adjust the angle and intensity of the water, for comfort and thoroughness. A gentle pat with a square or two of toilet paper can confirm that you’re clean and dry yourself off a little bit.

What Bidet Features Do I Need?

Before buying a bidet, note if your toilet has an elongated or a round shape. Most seats are made in both shapes. Also, make sure your toilet seat has enough clearance for an attachment to fit under it.

Many models have rear and front wash options. That front wash is incredibly useful. It’s usually at a more convenient angle, and we often use it as an all-purpose wash since rear washes are angled very high and close.

Having warm water adds some comfort, as does an air-drying feature. Some models will oscillate the spray, pulse the water intensity, or do both. This can actually help provide a better clean and is always welcome.

Other features aren’t as helpful. Some models have deodorizers, but these often create smells as upsetting as the smells they were neutralizing. In general, if a feature requires a recurring purchase (like some deodorizers, or self-cleaning features) we aren’t thrilled—especially since part of a bidet’s appeal is reducing waste.

Bidet Seats vs. Attachments

Bidet seats are heavy duty. They’re more expensive, but they tend to be more feature-rich and sturdier. All of the seats that we tested need to be plugged into a GFCI electrical outlet. If you don't have one nearby, you’ll need a compatible extension cord.

The attachments that we tested were all nonelectric bidets. Also called mechanical bidets, they don’t need an outlet—just the water pressure your toilet hookup provides.

The downside of these unpowered bidets is that if you want warm water, you have to route it from under your sink. Depending on your cabinetry, that may be difficult or even impossible. For testing, we avoided cutting holes in the cabinetry in favor of cold-water models and seats that could heat water themselves.

Ensuring Bidet Fit

If you get a bidet seat, make sure the shape matches your toilet bowl. Most bidet seat manufacturers offer round or elongated models to fit any toilet. Again, if you’re using an attachment, make sure your toilet seat has ample headroom, like a Crown or Bemis seat.

Regardless of the features you get, bidets are worth it. You’ll create a lot less paper waste, and spend a lot less time scraping yourself with dry paper. You’ll feel cleaner and more hygienic, and you’ll know that you’re doing your part to help the environment.
