The Best Bidets With a Dryer That Actually Works (2023)

Contents

If toilet paper feels like sandpaper to you or you’d just like to cut down on your toilet paper consumption, a bidet with a dryer function is what you should be shopping for.

These types of bidets are hygienic and soft on the skin, and many have extra features.

I’ve reviewed some of the best on the market, but here are the top 5 best bidets with a dryer that actually works for 2022.

Best Bidets With Dryer Sneak Peak

Why Choose a Bidet With a Dryer? 

We’ve all had moments wishing that toilet paper was softer on our nether regions.

And with the rising cost of toilet paper and the fact that toilet paper has shrunk over the years (no, you weren’t just imagining it!) it’s normal to want to eliminate the need for toilet paper.

However, washing your tush with a bidet leaves you wet, which means you still have to wipe after you use a bidet.

This is where a bidet with a dryer steps in:

Advantages of a Dryer 

Bidet seats offer a gentler and more hygienic alternative to toilet paper, especially if you suffer from hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or anal fistulas.

It may take some getting used to, but once you’ve used the dryer on a bidet seat, it could remove the need for toilet paper altogether.

It gives you a hands-free experience and is great for those with mobility issues, the elderly, or those unable to bend to reach the toilet paper. 

In addition, a bidet with a dryer is a great choice for those who are environmentally conscious.

Disadvantages of a Dryer 

If your nether region is easily irritated you may find that warm air aggravates it, increasing your discomfort.

In that case, use the dryer on a cooler setting. 

What Should You Look for in a Bidet With a Dryer? 

The dryer is a nifty feature, but it’s not the only thing you should consider.

Think about the following:

Heat Settings

Most bidet dryers use warm air to dry your bottom. They include a small warm air fan sitting beside the water nozzle that opens and closes as you activate it. 

If you want heat settings, look for a luxury bidet with a dryer. They give you several configurations for air and water settings.

Power Setting

If you’re lucky, you can find a bidet dryer allowing you to modify the power.

More power also means a better range toward the front, which is especially important for women.

Nozzle Types

Bidet seats’ nozzles can be stainless steel or plastic, and dual-nozzle or single-nozzle. 

There’s always a possibility of plastic breaking in terms of material, whereas stainless steel is very durable.

Both types of nozzles can oscillate and offer a range of wash options for both the feminine and posterior wash. 

Some bidets have self-cleaning nozzles, which prevents a build-up of bacteria, keeping your toilet hygienic.

Heated or Cold Water 

Electric bidets will either have water heating reservoirs, built-in water heaters or you need to connect them to your hot water line. 

Bidet seats also allow you to choose a water temperature setting that best suits your needs.

The only downside is if the toilet has a reservoir and is frequently used. It can take a few minutes before the water is warm enough to meet your requirements.

The Top 5 Best Bidet With a Dryer

Below you’ll find the best bidets with a dryer function, ranging from high-end luxury with all the bells and whistles to more budget-friendly options with fewer of the added luxuries.

Toto S550E – Luxury Bidet With Dryer

If you want a luxury bidet with a dryer, the Toto S550E is worth considering.

It uses a wireless, touch-sensitive remote—similar to mobile phones—to activate the bidet and dryer. 

The dryer uses warm air to remove water and moisture from your skin. It allows for slight temperature adjustments, but all are relatively warm.

Another benefit is customizing your preferred wash settings and saving them to one of the two memory user profiles. This lets you use the bidet at the touch of a button through the remote. 

One of the stand-out features not seen on the other products is that the wand self-cleans before and after each wash.

This keeps your toilet clean and hygienic. Plus, the automatic deodorizer will remove any natural odors.

It also features an LED night light, but this is very limited and only shows up when using the pre-mist function. Another drawback is the water pressure not being that strong.

Pros: 

  • Instant warm water. 
  • Automatically opens and closes the lid.
  • Can store two user settings.
  • Self cleans the wand before and after each use.
  • Automatic air deodorizer.

Cons: 

  • Walking close can trigger the automatic open/close function. 
  • Bowl light only comes on when the pre-mist function activates.  
  • Water pressure isn’t strong.

Brondell Swash SE600 – Mid-Priced With Lots of Features

This bidet features an oscillating stainless steel nozzle, which self-cleans for a convenient, hands-free, hygienic experience. 

Use the remote to control the seat temperature, water temperature, and water pressure to suit your needs. 

Following your wash, press the fan button to activate the warm air dryer.

This is excellent if you have mobility issues or sensitive skin. It’s also adjustable, eliminating the need for toilet paper.

Also, a power-saving eco mode allows the seat and water heater to go into sleep mode when not in use, which keeps the utility bills low. 

Note, as opposed to the Toto, you have to activate the deodorizer manually to remove any lingering odors. This can be easy to forget! 

Also, there’s no user profile function, which other products feature for excellent customization.

Pros: 

  • Customizable wash settings. 
  • Power-saving eco-mode. 
  • Stainless nozzle. 
  • Heated seat. 
  • Warm dryer.

Cons:

  • Deodorizer doesn’t come on automatically. 
  • Can’t store your preferred settings.
  • The nozzle often sprays water outside of the bowl.

Smart Bidet SB1000 – Customizable and Eco-Friendly

The Smart Bidet SB 1000 has five water pressure levels and three water temperature settings. This is perfect if you have particular preferences. 

You’ll also find that the plastic nozzle provides a good range for both front and posterior wash, with a choice of five nozzle positions.

However, it doesn’t reach as far to the front as the Toto. 

Of note is the self-cleaning nozzle that improves your hygiene and reduces cleaning time.

This bidet also features a heated seat and warm air dryer for extra comfort.

The air dryer offers five settings, providing you with even more versatility.

On top of this, the energy-saver mode lets your bidet go to sleep when not in use. This is great for your utility bills and still keeps the seat and water warm in winter. 

Note that if the toilet is frequently used, the reservoir will run out of warm water. This will take a few minutes to warm more water up, so you’ll need to be patient. 

Also, be aware that the included water hose is short. If your water line is far from the toilet, it may not reach.

Pros: 

  • Self-cleaning nozzle.
  • Heated seat.
  • Adjustable settings.
  • Warm dryer.
  • Energy-saving mode.

Cons:

  • Hot water reservoir can take a few minutes to warm the water.
  • Nozzle doesn’t move forward enough, according to some customers. 
  • Water hose is too short for some.

Brondell Swash 1400 – Most Customizable Bidet With Dryer Function

This bidet seat lets you customize wash settings and store them to memory for two people, so you can use the bidet without having to adjust settings every time.

You can also choose from seven nozzle positions, adjust the water temperature and pressure—far more choices than the options above. However, the spray cycles are short compared to the others.

Use the remote to activate the warm air dryer. It’s adjustable, allowing you to set your desired temperature. The power is unfortunately quite low, so it takes a little longer for it to dry.

The unique ceramic-core heating system ensures a constant stream of warm water, but be careful when using it.

Some customers report inconsistency in water temperature, which may result in a cold surprise for your nether regions!

Unlike other bidets that use built-in deodorizers, this one lets you replace the deodorizer if you notice that it’s no longer effective.

Pros: 

  • Can store two users’ settings. 
  • Replaceable carbon deodorizer. 
  • Ceramic core heating system. 
  • Adjustable spray width. 
  • Seven nozzle positions.

Cons:

  • Dryer power is low. 
  • Water temperature isn’t consistent. 
  • Spray cycle is short.

Bio Bidet USPA 6800 – Multiple Wash Options, Energy Efficient

The Bio Bidet USPA 6800 has a feminine wash, posterior wash, pulsating wash, and a wash for kids, all of which use the dual nozzles.

This is similar to the Toto’s settings but with the addition of the kids’ wash.

Also, like other bidets I’ve reviewed, the energy-saver mode makes it more energy-efficient, especially when it’s not in use, and will only start warming the seat once you sit on it. 

This bidet also has a dryer, but you may feel disappointed with this as the airflow doesn’t quite reach the front. This means you may have to use toilet paper to remove excess moisture.

Be aware that the warm water reservoir runs cold quickly and that customers have been disappointed with customer service.

Pros: 

  • Energy-saver mode. 
  • Dual nozzle. 
  • Intensive impulse pulsation.
  • Deodorizer. 
  • Heated seat.

Cons:

  • Air dryer doesn’t reach the front. 
  • Warm water runs out quickly. 
  • Questionable customer service.

Conclusion

When comparing these products to find the best bidet with dryer features, the Toto S550E takes the top spot for me. 

The instant warm water function is unusual and helpful, meaning you won’t have to wait for the water to heat.

I also really like that the wand self-cleans before and after each use to keep things as hygienic as possible, which the other products don’t have. 

Also, the automatic deodorizer purifies the air after each use, keeping your bathroom smelling clean and fresh.
