The Washlet by Toto Integrates Cleansing and Hygiene Technology

— March 2, 2026 — Lifestyle
The Washlet by Toto is a shower toilet that combines an electronic bidet system with a streamlined, compact form. The unit features an adjustable warm-water spray with multiple cleansing modes, alongside controls for water pressure, temperature, and wand position operated by a remote. A heated seat, integrated warm-air dryer, and deodorising function are built into the design. The system also includes a premist feature that sprays the bowl before use to help reduce residue.

The toilet uses electrolysed water technology to clean the wand and bowl after each use, limiting bacteria without chemical agents. An optional automatic flush version selects water volume via sensor. The seat ring is designed with a smooth profile to reduce dirt accumulation, while a soft night light and automatic lid function support ease of use in residential bathroom settings.
