Toto Washlet A2

Model SW3004#01

Warm wateryes
Needs an outletyes
Heated seatyes

TOTO's true entry point (SW3004, launched 2021 and still current): a tank-heated washlet with a heated SoftClose seat, dual-action rear/front wash with oscillation, and a wired side panel — and nothing else. No dryer, deodorizer, PREMIST, or night light; those start at the S2. With Amazon regularly selling it in the $225-$295 band against a $567 list, it's the cheapest way to put a genuine TOTO wand on your toilet.

What owners like

+Cheapest ticket into genuine TOTO — ~$240 on Amazon and it dips to $223-228 in recurring deals, barely more than a SmartBidet SB-1000 and less than half the S5
+The wash itself is full TOTO: soft rear spray, rear cleanse, and front (feminine) cleanse with oscillation and 5 pressure levels — spray comfort budget Korean/Chinese seats don't match
+Wand self-rinses before and after every use, same hygiene routine as the ~$590 S5
+Heated SoftClose seat with three temperatures plus an energy-saver timer keeps standby costs in check
+Dead-simple side panel with physical buttons — guests and older relatives figure it out without a manual, and there's no remote to lose or run out of batteries
+Owner reviews consistently call it the reliable no-drama option — most complaints are about missing features, not failures

Common complaints

−Tank heater gives roughly 30-60 seconds of warm water, then cools — back-to-back users get a cold surprise; the S2 ($349) fixed exactly this with instant heat
−No warm-air dryer, no deodorizer, no night light — the $349 S2 includes all three, so the $110 step-up buys a lot
−Elongated bowls only — round-bowl owners have to move up to the S2, which sells both fits
−No PREMIST bowl wetting and no EWATER+ sanitizing — TOTO's signature cleanliness tech starts one rung up the ladder
−1-year warranty is stingy next to Brondell's 3-year coverage on the Swash 1400
−For ~$60 more, the Brondell LE99 ($299) adds a dryer, night light, and wireless remote — the A2 wins on wash feel, loses on checklist

Questions buyers ask

What does the A2 give up compared to the $349 S2?

Quite a lot for the $110 gap: no warm-air dryer, no deodorizer, no night light, no PREMIST bowl wetting, no EWATER+ sanitizing, and tank heating instead of endless instant heat. What survives intact is the part that matters most — the wash itself is full TOTO, with soft rear, rear cleanse, and front cleanse plus oscillation across 5 pressure levels.

How long does the warm water last?

Roughly 30-60 seconds from the tank before it cools — back-to-back users get a cold surprise. That's the classic tank-heater trade, and it's exactly what the S2 fixed with instantaneous heating. If your washes are quick, it's a non-issue.

Does it fit round toilets?

No — elongated bowls only. Round-bowl owners have to move up to the S2, which sells both fits at the same price.

Is the side panel a downside versus a remote?

For some households it's actually the selling point: dead-simple physical buttons that guests and older relatives figure out without a manual, no remote to lose, and no batteries to die. You do give up presets, but at this feature count there's little to preset anyway.

What does it need electrically, and is it reliable?

A GFCI outlet within about 4 feet of the toilet, like every electric Washlet. Reliability is its quiet strength — owner reviews consistently call it the no-drama option, with most complaints about missing features rather than failures, and it dips to $223-228 in recurring deals.

Toto Washlet S2

TOTO's entry-level Washlet, introduced in summer 2025 as the direct replacement for the discontinued C2. The big change: the C2's water tank is gone — the S2 heats on demand so warm water never runs out — and the body is 19% slimmer. You keep the heated seat, PREMIST bowl spray, EWATER+ wand sanitizing, deodorizer, and warm-air dryer, and gain a night light, all run from a side arm panel at a ~$350 home-center street price.

Toto / Electric Bidet Seat

Toto Washlet KS6

TOTO's home-center exclusive, replacing the discontinued K300 in the 2025 lineup refresh. Under the lid it's essentially a Washlet S5 — same remote with four user presets, instantaneous heating, EWATER+, PREMIST, night light, dryer, and deodorizer — sold through Home Depot and Amazon at a lower street price (about $500 vs the S5's $650). The trade-off is choice: elongated bowls and Cotton White only. For most buyers it's the value play of TOTO's current range.

Heating: Tankless
Control: Wireless Remote

Toto / Electric Bidet Seat

Toto Washlet S5

The 2025 successor to TOTO's best-selling C5, with the tank heater swapped for instantaneous heating and a 19%-slimmer body. It's the sweet spot of the current S-lineup: wireless remote with four user presets, heated seat, warm-air dryer, deodorizer, new night light, PREMIST, and EWATER+ wand sanitizing. Functionally it's an S2 plus the remote and presets — you're paying roughly $300 for that convenience at a street price around $650.

Heating: Tankless
Control: Wireless Remote
