The Rundown
- Our favorite bidet seats and attachments are the Brondell Swash 1400 and the Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus.
- Bidet seats offer advanced features like heated seats and air dryers, while attachments provide a simpler, more affordable solution for a fresh clean.
- Key considerations include water temperature and pressure adjustability, ease of installation, and ensuring the bidet's shape matches your toilet bowl.
Bidet seats and attachments are a great way to stay clean and feel fresh in the restroom. They affix to your existing toilet and use a stream of water to wash you. It leaves you feeling cleaner and creates a lot less paper waste.
There are two main kinds of bidets. Bidet seats replace your existing toilet seat and are loaded with features, often ones that require a power outlet. Bidet attachments fit under your existing toilet seat. They’re typically simpler and less expensive, but they usually lack high-end features like seat warming or an air dryer.
After testing dozens of bidets, the Brondell Swash 1400 (available at Home Depot for $549.99) emerged as our top pick for the best bidet toilet seat you can buy. If you prefer a more affordable solution, consider our best bidet attachment, the Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus (available at Amazon).
There are plenty of other great models worth considering, with a wide variety of features and price points. Nearly all of them beat using toilet paper.
We chose the Brondell Swash 1400 as our best overall because it's a comfortable, thorough clean.
The Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus is the best bidet attachment you can buy.
This powerful self-cleaning bidet comes ready to do everything most will need.
A simpler Brondell that's still excellent.

How We Test Bidets Seats and Attachments
To test bidet toilet seats and attachments, we called in more than a dozen products.
To get to the bottom of the best bidets, we researched the most popular and best-beloved models. We tested just over a dozen electric bidet seats and toilet seat attachments. In the years since our initial testing, we’ve rotated in new models to see how they stack up.
We install each product according to its instructions, then spend roughly a week with it, using it as part of our everyday routine, and putting it through tests. We try every feature. We experiment to see whether the controls were intuitive, then check the manual for any features we missed.
We rate each bidet according to whether certain key features are present, ease of installation, ease of use, the adjustability and responsiveness of the controls, the effectiveness of the cleaning (and drying), and more.
We evaluate its stability, how easy it is to use and clean, and whether any settings are painful. (There are consequences to finding the outer limits of that many bidets. But we’re professionals here and dedicated to our work.)
What You Should Know About Bidet Seats and Attachments
Bidet Seats vs. Bidet Attachments
Bidet seats are heavy duty. They’re more expensive, but they tend to be more feature-rich and sturdier. All of the seats that we’ve tested thus far need to be plugged into a GFCI electrical outlet. If you don't have one nearby, you’ll need a compatible extension cord.
The attachments that we tested were all nonelectric bidets. Also called mechanical bidets, they don’t need an outlet—just the water pressure your toilet hookup provides.
The downside of these unpowered bidets is that if you want warm water, you have to route it from under your sink. Depending on your cabinetry, that may be difficult or even impossible. For testing, we avoided cutting holes in the cabinetry in favor of cold-water models and seats that could heat water themselves.
How to Install a Bidet
Your bidet can take some getting used to, and an easy installation can make the process less intimidating. Installation is very similar for both bidet attachments and seats.
- Turn off the water to the toilet, and flush until it’s empty.
- Disconnect the water supply to your tank and add a T-adapter to the water line. This adapter, which should come with the bidet, is a joint that lets water flow from your supply line out to both the toilet tank and the bidet.
- The bidet itself goes into the holes where your toilet seat mounts.
- If it’s a bidet attachment, place it against the toilet bowl, then attach the toilet seat over it. The toilet seat’s screws will thread through the holes in the attachment, holding everything in place together.
- If it’s a bidet seat, you’ll install a mounting bracket onto the toilet. The bracket uses the same holes that a normal toilet seat uses. Then just slide the bidet seat onto the bracket until it clicks into place.
How to Use a Bidet
Using a bidet is simple: After going to the bathroom, turn on the water and let it clean you. Most bidets let you adjust the angle and intensity of the water, for comfort and thoroughness. A gentle pat with a square or two of toilet paper can confirm that you’re clean and dry yourself off a little bit, though if there’s an air drying feature, that can be a nice alternative.
What Bidet Features Do I Need?
Before buying a bidet, note if your toilet has an elongated or a round shape. Most seats are made in both shapes. Also, make sure your toilet seat has enough clearance for an attachment to fit under it.
When buying a bidet, there is a world of features to choose from. Most popular models have rear and front wash options. In many of these, the front wash may actually be positioned at a more convenient angle, and we often use it as an all-purpose wash. (Rear washes are often angled very high and close to the back of the commode.)
Having warm water adds some comfort, as does an air-drying feature. Some models will oscillate the spray, pulse the water intensity, or do both. This can actually help provide a better clean and is always welcome.
Other features aren’t as helpful. Some models have deodorizers or sanitizers, but these often create smells as upsetting as the smells they were neutralizing. In general, if a feature requires a recurring purchase (like some deodorizers, or self-cleaning features) we aren’t thrilled—especially since part of a bidet’s appeal is reducing waste.
Ensuring Bidet Seat Fit
If you get a bidet seat, make sure the shape matches your toilet bowl. Most bidet seat manufacturers offer round or elongated models to fit any toilet. Again, if you’re using an attachment, make sure your toilet seat has ample headroom. Crown and Bemis both make seats that offer enough clearance for a bidet attachment.
Are Bidets and Bidet Attachments Worth it?
Regardless of the features you get, bidets and bidet attachments are worth it. You’ll create a lot less paper waste, and spend a lot less time scraping yourself with dry paper. You’ll feel cleaner and more hygienic, and you’ll know that you’re doing your part to help the environment.
