The latest and greatest seat from the global industry
The TOTO washlet S550e is the latest and greatest seat from the global industry leading TOTO. Built with the same great quality and design as its predecessors, the TOTO S550e wash-let comes with a bit of a twist. The S550e is available in two new designs for its lid, the contemporary and the classic. The remote control is also updated with a touch pad style and features radio sensory frequency. They are only available in the Elongated size at this time.
The TOTO S550e washlet is different from the S500e washlet in that it includes the automatic opening/closing lid and LED nightlight features. It is otherwise identical.
These two new designs for the S550e add diversity and a more custom look for your toilet. The contemporary lid presents a sleek silhouette and clean lines more suited for modern décor. The classic lid is better for more traditional or embellished bathroom décor with its beveled edge
Technology and luxury are the major defining traits of the TOTO S550e washlet. It boasts remarkable presentation with its auto opening/closing lid. There is nothing more striking than a bidet seat that opens automatically when you approach and closes when you walk away. The motorized seat and lid can be programmed to either lift automatically via proximity sensor, or can be controlled via buttons on the remote.
Another new feature of the TOTO S500e washlet is the addition of an LED nightlight. TOTO’s flagship bidet seat now boasts an LED white light that is easy on the eyes during night use. The night light adds to the ‘wow factor’ for bathroom guests, and also allows you to use the toilet at night without having to blind yourself with bright bathroom lights.
Presentation is a fundamental cornerstone for TOTO. As a result, TOTO has updated its wireless remote control for the S550e washlet. The remote is a dual sided, user friendly remote that comes with a wall mount. The front side features illuminated, touch sensitive buttons that offer the basic operations. The reverse side allows for more fine tuning and advanced settings. The remote can also save the basic settings for 2 user profiles.
The TOTO S550e produces a soothing/strong dual action aerated stream. The front and rear sprays each have two difference modes, soft or hard depending on your preference. While TOTO washlet’s do not have the strongest sprays on the market, they are very comfortable. This stream is able to be adjusted in 5 different positions and 5 different pressures, all while producing consistent heat temperature of up to 104 degrees.
The S550e washlet uses a tankless water heating system that produces unlimited warm water for the duration of the wash. Its tankless water heater is capable of instantly producing, and maintaining temperatures of up to 104 degrees.
The dryer on the S550e is also a strength. In general, bidet seats do not have strong dryers for health reasons as you don’t want a strong fan blowing around your dirty toilet bowl. TOTO’s high end washlets have above average dryers and seem to move more air than other brands.
One unique feature that Toto is known for is Ewater+. Ewater+ is a fun feature that mists your toilet bowl with electrolyzed water between uses. This happens after each use and every 8 hours of being idle for maintenance and helps disinfect your toilet bowl. The new S550e washlet also cleans the nozzle with eWater+. This happens pre-wash and post-wash, assuring users get the cleanest wash possible.
The TOTO S550e also includes all the typical luxury bidet seat features you’d come to expect including heated seat, deodoriser, self-cleaning nozzles, and so on. See below for the full feature list.
