TOTO WASHLET S2 Best Overall
- Bowl Fit
- Elongated
- Controls
- Side panel
- Air Dryer
- Adjustable
- Water Heating
- Instantaneous
The first thing that stands out about the TOTO S2 is how much it does from a fixed control panel. The controls sit on a side panel, which keeps wash mode, temperature, and dryer settings in one place. The seat adds a heated surface, instantaneous warm water, an adjustable warm-air dryer, and a deodorizer. It is a substantial 16-pound seat, the kind you handle with both hands during installation, but the payoff is a bathroom fixture that feels built for daily use rather than a demo.
It earns our top spot because it gets the fundamentals right. The water heats on demand, so a long wash does not turn cool halfway through, and the heated seat is adjustable rather than simply on. We also appreciate the bowl-first cleaning: PREMIST wets the porcelain before use, and EWATER+ helps keep the wand cleaner between washes. Those are quiet conveniences, but they are the ones that matter after the novelty wears off. The oscillating and pulsating sprays are there when you want them, not as the only options.
Fit is the one thing to settle before ordering. The seat runs about 21 inches long, so measure from the mounting holes to the front of the bowl and confirm an elongated fit; on a round bowl, the front can overhang. The seat and lid are easy to wipe down, and the slow-close lid is quiet enough for a bedroom-adjacent bathroom. The side panel does the job, and its fixed position is a large part of why the S2 feels so easy to live with.
What We Like
- Continuous instantaneous warm water
- PREMIST and EWATER+ cleaning
- Adjustable warm-air dryer and deodorizer
- Side-panel controls stay in place
Worth Noting
- Side-panel controls only; no remote
For most bathrooms, we land on the TOTO S2: continuous warm water, TOTO's bowl-cleaning technology, and a heated seat, with controls that stay put on the side panel.
