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.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Four user presets on the remote (up from two on the old C5) store position, pressure, and temperatures per person — the single best shared-bathroom feature at this price
- ✓Instantaneous heating ends the C5's notorious 35-45-second warm-water window; wash for five minutes straight and it never runs cold
- ✓Gained a bowl-illuminating night light the C5 never had — genuinely useful at 3 a.m. and one less reason to pay up for the S7 tier
- ✓EWATER+ sanitizes the wand with electrolyzed water before and after each use, and PREMIST keeps the bowl slick so waste doesn't stick
- ✓Heated seat spans 82-97°F across five settings, and the seamless seat molding has no crevice seam for grime to collect in — a real cleaning-day upgrade over the C5
- ✓Warm-air dryer adjusts 95-140°F — a wider, hotter range than the Brondell Swash 1400's famously tepid dryer
- ✓Slim wall-mountable remote with illuminated touchpad replaces the C5's chunky wand — easier for guests to decode mid-visit
- ✓Elongated and round versions in Cotton White plus a Sedona Beige elongated option — the channel-exclusive KS6 twin comes in white-elongated only
Cons
- ✗You're paying roughly $300 over the S2 for a remote and presets — the wash hardware underneath is otherwise identical
- ✗Several early owners note the seat sits tall with a slight forward slope ('feels like it's pushing you forward'), a byproduct of the 7.4-inch rear housing
- ✗The 1,271-watt draw needs a dedicated GFCI within reach of the 3.93-ft cord, and TOTO's manual warns against extension cords
- ✗The dryer, though adjustable, is still TOTO-gentle: plan on 1-2 minutes or a courtesy dab of paper where a Bio Bidet BB-2000 finishes in about 40 seconds
- ✗One-year warranty on a $650 seat, while Brondell backs the cheaper Swash 1400 for three years
- ✗Round version comes only in Cotton White, and mounting the remote bracket means two anchors in your drywall — renters take note
- ✗New-for-2025 platform means clearance C5s flood the used market at ~$300 — tempting, but that's buying into the known cold-water-window complaint
- ✗MSRP is $780 and 'sale' pricing is perpetual — legitimate street price floats $570-670, so treat anything near list as a ripoff

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.

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
Toto Washlet S7A
TOTO's flagship seat, topping the 2026 lineup with a motorized auto-opening and closing lid, EWATER+ misting for the bowl as well as the wand, instantaneous heating, night light, power deodorizer, and a backlit horizontal remote. At 4.1 inches rear height it's among the slimmest seats sold, offered in Classic or Contemporary lid styles and Cotton White or Sedona Beige. MSRP is $2,005 but street pricing runs $1,150-1,400; pair it with a WASHLET+ TOTO toilet for hands-free auto-flush.
