TOTO SW3056#01 S550E Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with Warm Water Cleansing, Nightlight, and Fusion Heater Technology

kay: I did very much research and finally settled on the TOTO SW3056#01 S550E Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat. I love it so much that I would get the same bidet seat immediately if something happened to this one. It is so addictive that I hate to use a commode in a public location. It does everything it says it will do and it does it very well. Other reviews talk about the night light not being great…well, I guess it could be a little better…not a deal breaker for me and I don’t have to turn on the overhead light at night. This is one of the more expensive bidet seats and it has been worth every penny to me. I’ll just say one more thing. I don’t like to write reviews and never do; but, this thing is so great I felt compelled to write a review after 10 months of owning this seat.

A. M.: Toto has been the gold standard in bidet for quite some time and this bidet makes no exceptions.

At the time pof this writing, this item has been discontinued as it gets replaced with an updated model. You can still find this model for sale.

Quality is 5*
Features is only 4* as it has some shortcomings adressed by the newer model:
- the sensor for the seat opening is very sensitive, the lid opens every time one enters the bathroom. For those of you with a small-medium bathroom, the lid will open every time. Yes, it can be turned OFF but what is point to get this model when you can get the cheaper model without automatic seat opening?
- Toilet pre-wash happens even when the seat opening is OFF. The only way around is to turn the toilet pre-wash OFF. I wish there was a way to have it triggered on demand, but there isn't (this was fixed on the new model).
- Toilet lid scratches easily, which sadly doesn't appear to have been fixed on the newwer model. Since it cannot be replaced, you would need to order a new unit, so take care of it.

All in all, I would still buy it again. Highly recommended, but take a look at the newer model as well. If the price...

Mike H: I ordered my 550E during the pandemic and man, we were slobs before this thing! I'm writing this review almost 3 years after my initial purchase because the unit went on the fritz and died. I called Toto USA support and a good ole boy from right here in the USA answered the phone. $175 dollar flat fee (all parts included) including shipping for them to fix it and send it back. Very reasonable price and about 10 days turnaround start to finish. I ordered some dude wipes in the mean time but nothing can compare to the toto. Toto earned my repeat business and advocacy!

DMC: We spent a lot of time researching bidets. Finally we settled on this on even though it was VERY EXPENSIVE over other brands. It met all of our wants on the check list. I even asked several customers if it had a night light and was told yes it has a night light. Guess I should have made it extremely clearer with my question about the night light. We had another bidet and it truly had a night bowl light. When the lights went out the bowl lit up a beautiful blue in color which was very helpful for small children and elderly that need a little more guidance in the night. However, the one we had did not have remote which we really like and it did not have the front and rear washer. Why have one without both... right?

Based on the answers and the description about the night light we selected this model even though it was over the top expensive. We like it even though it DOES NOT have a night time bowl light. I called TOTO and they explained that the night light is about a 2 second flash of a light when it detects movement and that is it... NO NIGHT TIME LIGHT UP BOWL LIGHT. So if you are looking for that light up bowl at night this is not the one that does that. So, we added a...

R K: First off... A rating for "Softness?" WTF?

Okay people... I had a WHOLE review written up in my head where I played Captain Kirk and acted out several episodes of wiping out the Klingons! But then I thought... These people don't want a laugh... They want an honest review... So here goes.

I have been using my Toto bidet seat now for a few months now. It installs easily and the hardest part is wiring the outlet needed for it to work. I do all my own work and do it to code. I needed to run a wire up the outside wall to where my toilet was and then cut through wainscoting and drywall to install the outlet. Since I wanted the outlet out of the way... That meant a contorted position for a few hours. So... That took the longest part of the install. Since most of you will install this and run it off an extension cord until you have an electrician install an outlet... I'll go straight to the install.

First off you will remove your old seat. CLEAN very well and install the new seat per directions! It's really THAT easy! Your kid could do it! A few tips on plumbing though and this is generic advice. NEVER USE PIPE DOPE on ANYTHING! If you MUST, and ONLY where called for,...

JVJG: I spent 2 weeks researching these bidet seat and finally decided on the the ToTo 550 E. I have never had or used one previously and realize now that was a big mistake. This thing is a dream! Installation was very easy. The only problem i am having is the flickering lights, as i took power from a wall switch on the opposite side of the wall. The instructions should state to use a dedicated circuit as i believe the amperage draw when running the heater , not mentioned will require a separate circuit. Its not a big problem now but i will eventually run a new line to the panel. The auto seat feature is nice however its something one could do without. The seat with this feature should only be installed if the toilet is in its own room or far enough away from other fixtures so it doesn't lift if you are at the sink. When the seat lifts it sprays down the bowl, as well as after you get up. two user settings can be locked in to control everything from temperature to pressure . The seat is nice and warm(can be adjusted) seat cover Rises when you get close and if your a guy another button will raise and lower the seat. When you leave the seat cover closes shortly after. I wanted one with...

Wolf Stampe: This is probably then nicest looking bidet seat out there, the cotton white is a nice match to the almond colour of our elongated toilet. It’s smooth curves and low profile looks normal open or closed. Good seat too, more comfortable than the original seat, truly feels luxurious just sitting on it. Seat opening is wider and front lower, and the saddle curve just puts you in the he right spot. The seat heating is also constant, some others are barely warm at first then too hot. This is really an experience.
The sounds are pretty muted even though it does a lot. Even the blow dryer is pretty quiet, and it moves a lot of air. I was surprised, it actually dries cheeks and all in under a minute, first bidet dryer that actually works, though not as well on the front wash areas. However if you have a temperature triggered skin condition as I do, it might be better to use more directed drying like the BioBidet.
The sprays are fairly soft at least compared to our BioBidet 2000. That bidet is a real blaster, this one has a harder wash with just a bit of sting to let you know it’s cleaning well, but also a lot of warm soothing settings (hard to tell if they are cleaning something)....
