Kohler / Electric Bidet Seat

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 / Electric Bidet Seat

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.

Kohler / Non-Electric Bidet Seat

Kohler Puretide

The big-box default non-electric bidet seat and the anchor of the manual-seat category. The Puretide — Kohler now sells the same K-5724 seat under the name PureWash M250 — 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 big-box staple for years at around $100, in both elongated and round versions.
