Kohler PureWash E930
Kohler's flagship bidet seat, launched at KBIS 2024. The E930 is the closest an add-on seat gets to a smart toilet: a motion-activated lid opens and closes hands-free, the Kohler Konnect app adds voice and phone control, and a tankless heater supplies endless warm water. A handheld remote with programmable presets, warm-air drying, a night light, and a UV-sanitized stainless wand round out the list at a Toto-flagship $1,299.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Motion-activated lid opens as you approach and closes behind you - Toto charges S7A money for the same trick
- ✓Kohler Konnect app adds phone and voice control, the only seat we track you can command out loud
- ✓Tankless heating means genuinely endless warm water, unlike the hybrid tank in Kohler's own E820
- ✓Handheld remote with programmable user presets ends the couples' re-adjustment ritual
- ✓UV light sanitizes the stainless wand automatically between uses
- ✓Warm-air dryer, heated seat, and night light complete a true flagship feature list
- ✓Early owners rate it 4.8 stars, and Kohler's dealer network handles service no boutique importer can match
- ✓Slim low-profile design looks integrated rather than bolted-on, rare for auto-lid seats
Cons
- ✗No deodorizer at $1,299 - the $449 Alpha UX Pearl and Kohler's own $549 E820 both include one
- ✗List price sits in Toto S7A territory, and Kohler discounts far less often than Toto's constant sales
- ✗Thin review base so far - the 4.8 average rests on a fraction of the reviews behind Toto flagships
- ✗Elongated only; round-bowl owners are out entirely
- ✗Voice control needs the Konnect app, Wi-Fi setup, and an account - a lot of ceremony for a toilet seat
- ✗Motorized lid adds failure points, the same complaint pattern that dogs the Coway 500S
- ✗3-year warranty is identical to the $450 E525 - triple the spend buys no extra coverage
- ✗Needs a GFCI outlet within reach, and the auto-lid draws standby power around the clock

Kohler PureWash E820
Kohler discontinued the C3-455 name and now sells this exact seat (same K-8298-CR model number) as the PureWash E820 — its current mainstream remote-controlled bidet seat. A hybrid warm-water system blends stored and on-demand heating, and the stainless wand self-cleans under UV light. You also get automatic deodorization, a five-setting heated seat, night light, and quiet-close lid. Retails $540-600 at big-box stores; elongated bowls only.

Kohler PureWash E525
Kohler's mid-range bidet seat and its big-box volume seller, stocked at Home Depot and Lowe's alongside the brand's toilets. The E525 pairs a hybrid heater that delivers continuously heated water with a UV-sanitized stainless wand, front and rear wash modes, a heated seat, and Kohler's Quiet-Close lid and Quick-Release hinges. Control is a simple attached side panel - no remote, dryer, or night light - which keeps it a wash-focused seat at $449.97 list.

Kohler Puretide
The big-box default non-electric bidet seat and the anchor of the manual-seat category. The Puretide replaces your whole toilet seat rather than bolting underneath it like an attachment: a side lever extends the wand and modulates spray pressure using water-line pressure alone - no electricity, no batteries. It's been a Home Depot and Amazon staple for years, with thousands of reviews at around $100 in both elongated and round versions.
