Tushy Aura

4.3(9,673 reviews across retail listings)

Tushy's top-of-line electric seat, launched late 2024: a motion-sensing auto-open lid, digital temperature display on the seat, wireless remote with screen, endless instant warm water, UV-sterilized stainless wand, and a dryer Tushy claims is twice as strong as the Cloud's. At $599 it's the cheapest way to get an auto-opening lid — a trick that otherwise costs $1,299 on the Toto S7A. Elongated toilets only.

Pros

  • Auto-open lid via motion sensor plus remote-controlled seat raise — the only seat anywhere near $599 with this; Toto charges $1,299 (S7A) for the same hands-free entrance
  • Instant endless warm water with four settings (room temp, 93°F, 99°F, 102°F) — no tank, no mid-wash chill
  • Silver digital display on the seat shows live seat temperature, and the backlit remote with screen beats fumbling through beep-codes on Toto's screenless S7 remote
  • Dryer is legitimately stronger than the Cloud's (Tushy's '2X' unit) — reviewers report actually skipping toilet paper, rare for bidet dryers
  • UV nozzle sterilization runs 3 minutes after every use on a stainless wand, plus a pre-installed water filter
  • Same 10-minute Tushy DIY install as their $129 attachments — brackets, hose, and tank adapter in the box

Cons

  • CNN Underscored's biggest gripe: in small bathrooms the motion sensor pops the lid every time you walk past to the shower or sink — you can disable auto-open, but then you paid for a feature you turned off
  • Elongated only — no round version, so older compact bathrooms are excluded entirely
  • 12-month warranty on a $599 seat with a motorized lid mechanism is the weakest coverage-to-moving-parts ratio in this price class
  • No deodorizer — the $399 Cloud+ has one, and Toto's S7 pairs a deodorizer with a power-boost mode
  • No multi-user presets — the remote remembers one configuration, versus four named presets on the Toto S7/S7A
  • Still needs a GFCI outlet within reach, and the lid motor means one more failure mode a simple Cloud doesn't have

Common Questions

Does the auto-open lid trigger when you're just walking past?
In small bathrooms, yes — the motion sensor pops the lid every time you walk by to the shower or sink, which was CNN Underscored's biggest gripe. You can disable auto-open, but then you've paid for the Aura's headline feature and turned it off.
Is the dryer actually usable, or just a token feature?
It's Tushy's '2X' unit — legitimately stronger than the Cloud's — and reviewers report actually skipping toilet paper, which is rare for bidet dryers. Most seats in this class leave you doing a courtesy dab regardless.
How does the warm water work?
Instant tankless heating with four settings (room temp, 93°F, 99°F, 102°F), so there's no tank to drain and no mid-wash chill. It runs as long as you do.
Can two people store their own settings?
No — the remote remembers only one configuration, versus four named presets on the Toto S7/S7A. In a shared bathroom someone is always re-dialing pressure and temperature.
Should the 12-month warranty worry me?
It's the weakest coverage-to-moving-parts ratio in this price class — a $599 seat with a motorized lid mechanism covered for one year, where Brondell gives three years on the Swash 1400. Tushy also launched the Aura in late 2024, so the long-term track record is still short.

Electric Bidet Seat

The Ace is Tushy's full electric bidet seat, now in its improved 2.0 generation at $399. A coiled tankless heater delivers endless instant warm water, joined by a five-level heated seat, warm-air dryer, dedicated front wash, oscillating massage mode, and an antimicrobial stainless self-cleaning nozzle — all run from an upgraded capacitive-touch remote. It's Tushy's bid to keep customers who outgrow the Classic from defecting to Toto and Bio Bidet.

Tushy's mid-tier electric seat, launched early 2025 as the bidet-attachment brand's serious move upmarket: ceramic-core instant heating for endless warm water, heated seat, warm-air dryer, night light, and UV nozzle sterilization, all run from a side console. A $399 Cloud+ trim adds a wireless remote and an automatic carbon deodorizer but is otherwise the same seat. CNN Underscored named the Cloud a top pick for undercutting typical $500 endless-warm-water seats.

The warm-water version of Tushy's non-electric seat line: same full seat-and-lid replacement as the Wave, but a second EasyTurn knob mixes hot water pulled from your sink's hot line through an included 6-foot hose and brass adapter. Dual self-cleaning DuoFlow nozzles handle front and rear washes, and a quick-release pops the seat off for cleaning. No electricity, no GFCI — warm washes for $239 in round or elongated.

Tushy's non-electric bidet SEAT — the whole seat and soft-close lid replace yours, hiding the mechanicals that a Classic 3.0 attachment leaves visible in a wedge under your existing seat. DuoFlow gives independent front and rear washes off a discreet EasyTurn knob (bamboo or platinum), nozzles self-clean behind a guard, and a quick-release slides the seat off for cleaning. Cold water only; $169-199 street in round and elongated fits.

The Tushy Classic is the bidet attachment that made bidets an American conversation, now in its third generation. The 3.0 added the self-cleaning SmartSpray nozzle, a precision spray-angle adjuster, and real bamboo or metal knobs over a design-first white chassis. It bolts under your existing seat, tees into the toilet supply line, and needs no electricity. It remains the style pick of the cold-water attachment category, holding 4.8 stars across 18,000+ reviews on Tushy's store.
