What does the TOTO S550e Washlet do?
The better question is, what doesn’t this toilet do? This bidet seat is brilliantly designed to cover all your toilet needs, including post-washing and drying, rewashing the bowl, and even remembering to put the seat down. Ladies, I know you will love that. What’s great is it can attach to your existing toilet and is also sold as a complete Washlet toilet.

Before you even sit down to use the toilet, it automatically raises the lid and turns on an interior light within the bowl. Then, a gush of misted Ewater+ cleans the nozzle to ensure you get the cleanest wash possible.
Ewater+ is a technology used for water purification. It uses an electrical current to produce a solution of hydrogen and oxygen (electrolyzed water) that has antimicrobial properties, making it super effective for cleaning and sanitizing.
With the TOTO S550e Washlet, you can adjust anything, including the seating position of the toilet, to how warm or cold you want the seat and water to be by using the remote control that comes with the toilet seat.
However, it’s important to note that because of the toilet seat’s high-tech features, it will need a power source to plug into nearby. This will allow the features like seat heating and warm water wash to activate.

How does this high-tech toilet seat affect the amount I spend on toilet paper?
Remember how I mentioned the post-washing and drying feature earlier? Well, this toilet seat purposely has those features built-in, so you’ll cut down on using toilet paper dramatically.
Smart enough to prevent a mess
The spray features on the toilet will not activate unless you are seated, so you’ll never have to worry about anyone making a mess in the bathroom, either. You can always keep an extra roll of toilet paper nearby in case the drying features do not meet your standards. However, you’ll at least be using significantly fewer sheets of toilet paper at a time with this smart toilet.

What other ways can I save money on toilet paper?
Don’t worry. We understand if you don’t want to drop $2,000 on a toilet, so here are some other ways you can save money on toilet paper.
- Make every sheet count: odds are, you probably are using too much paper when you go. Wipe effectively and try using less next time you go.
- Note the sheet count and square feet per pack: this information will be listed on the toilet paper packaging. Calculating your total ply square footage could help you save more sheets at a time.
- Avoid ultra-soft toilet paper and flushable wipes: these products might allow you to use fewer sheets at a time, yet they tend to be more expensive than a thin two-ply double roll or triple roll, so you’ll end up spending more in the long run.
- Avoid buying from the grocery store: Grocery stores charge more per roll and square foot, plus they sell in smaller quantities, so you’ll have to run out and buy more frequently.
- Sign up for a toilet paper subscription: if you subscribe to a toilet paper subscription from places like Target and Amazon, they will likely give you discounts on your first subscription order.
- Buy in bulk at a warehouse store: Warehouse stores like Costco and Sam’s Club will give you the lowest cost with their own store brands. You can also buy in bulk with other brands at Target and Walmart.
- Use toilet paper coupons: Keep your eyes peeled for toilet paper coupons. You can find them directly from manufacturers, supermarkets and big-box circulars or coupon apps like Ibotta and Rakuten.
