Expert-Tested Top 5 Smart Toilets
Once you try a smart toilet, there’s no going back. In places where they’re common, people love them not just for the luxury feel, but because they offer a way better clean—no toilet paper needed. Everyone on our testing team who used the built-in bidet said the same thing: “I can’t believe I ever lived without this.”And honestly, we get it. Between the heated seats, hands-free flushing, UV self-cleaning, and how easy they are to maintain, the higher price totally makes sense. It’s not just a toilet—it’s an upgrade to your daily routine.

In recent years, our specialists have tested over 20 toilets, including American Standard, Kohler, and Toto models. We flush golf balls and sponges down toilets and evaluate their installation, convenience of use, performance (cleaning and drying), design, and more to determine the finest ones for your home.
We deploy smart toilets to consumer testers' homes to get real-world feedback. These are the best smart toilets for bathroom upgrades, according to our lab and testers.
Shape: Elongated
Dimensions: 25" x 17" x 28"
Gallons per flush: 1.0 GPF and 1.28 GPF
For decades, Kohler has led our toilet tests, and its increasing line of smart toilets reflects that quality and reliability. The newest model to pass our rigorous lab testing was the Innate. Its sleek contours, precision water pressure and temperature control, and electrolyzed bowl pre-rinsing to reduce stains impress our product specialists.
The Innate performed well in extensive home testing. "I really appreciate the bidet features," our reviewer said, "the auto-flush is amazing, it's nice to look at and it's much easier to clean than a regular toilet." The one-piece Innate flushes and lifts and lowers its seat automatically for hands-free control from start to finish.
It includes a dual flush and a 1.28 gallons-per-flush efficiency rating that qualifies it for the EPA's WaterSense certification, which our engineers seek for in a top-performing toilet. Comfort-height design makes sitting and getting up simpler, another "aging in place" feature of smart toilets, along with hands-free sanitary cleaning.
This toilet is expensive, even by smart toilet standards, and the heated seat and warm water add energy costs and a large footprint. If your budget allows, the Innate won't disappoint.
Pros
Adaptable personal hygiene
One-piece, sleek design
Seat that is heated and air-drying
Dual-flush system with an ultra-low flush capacity of one gallon
Cons
Pricey
Big footprint
Shape: Elongated:
Dimensions: 28" x 16" x 23"
Gallons per flush: 1.0 GPF and 1.6 GPF (average of 1.28 GPF)
This smart toilet from Woodbridge has many of the same amazing features as more pricier models. An automatic flush, auto open and closure, air purification, and heated seat are among them. Our experts enjoy that you can pick from different wash options (posterior wash, feminine wash, etc.) and that the touch screen remote may be handled or wall-mounted for convenience.
The integrated tank and one-piece design make it look sleek, but the materials may not last as long as other smart toilets on our list. As the tank grows, the toilet becomes bulkier at the bank, making sitting difficult until you get used to being thrown forward. Our home-improvement experts recommend noting the toilet's dimensions, angle valve position, and power supply to ensure it fits your space.
Pros
Automatic flushing, automatic opening and closing
Temperature control for the air dryer and seats
Night-light
Cons
Compared to other smart toilets, the materials might not be as sturdy
Shape: Elongated
Dimensions: 14.75" x 25.0625" x 20.562"
Gallons per flush: 0.92 GPF and 1.32 GPF
Our lab personnel prefer American Standard toilets' unique, practical features and high quality, according to past testing.
It has a warm-air dryer, auto-flush technology, a heated seat with five degrees, adjustable water temperature, and numerous nozzles for a unique cleaning experience. We enjoy that the toilet seat opens and closes on its own and has a soothing night light.
Also included is a deodorizer to keep the bowl fresh. This ultramodern smart toilet is worth buying for its cutting-edge functionality and comfort, but its modest height may deter others. Our experts prefer the enlarged oval shape, which adds a few inches for comfort and a modern look.
Pros
Automatic flush, open/close
Air-dryer and seat temperature adjustment
Night-light
Cons
Low-rise design
Shape: Elongated
Dimensions: 27.2" x 16.1" x 19"
Gallons per flush: 1.6GPF and 1.1GPF
Our market researchers found more smart toilets under $1,000, even if they're still premium items. One of the best EPLO models for value. We love its many features, including high-end smart toilet innovations. For instance, the cleansing wand's fast warm water and built-in deodorizer remove room odors.
The EPLO has unprecedented features like foot sensor-activated flushing and an LED display that shows air and water temperatures. Due to its 15.6-inch seat height, this toilet is harder to get on and off than a comfort-height smart toilet, unlike most of our experts' picks.
Third-party certifications from industry bodies like IAPMO verify the model's dependability and performance. Its 4.4-star Amazon rating is a testament to its value in a four-figure market.
Pros
Outstanding value
Foot-activated LED display and flushing
Integrated deodorant
Cons
Not at a comfortable height
Shape: Elongated or compact elongated
Dimensions: 25" x 22" x 32"
Gallons per flush: 1.28 GPF
Small and elegant, this Kohler smart toilet adds minimalism to any bathroom. We love its self-cleaning wand, air dryer, temperature control, hands-free seat opening and closing, and LED bowl light at night. The EPA's WaterSense-certified single-flush toilet uses 1.28 gallons per flush, like most smart toilets on our list.
We've always liked Kohler toilets, but our experts found the installation instructions lacking. The clean style may also turn others off.
If you want a cheaper bidet, our experts recommend the Kohler PureWash E930 Elongated Bidet Toilet Seat, the GH Home Renovation Awards winner.
Pros
Self-cleaning wand
WaterSense-approved for water conservation
Stylish, compact design
Cons
Not everyone will find design appealing
Just one flush
