TOTO Neorest RH review (2026)
- Flagship one-piece integrated bidet toilet (full unit, not a seat)
- EWATER+ electrolyzed-water self-cleaning of bowl and wand
- Tornado dual flush at 1.0 / 0.8 GPF — WaterSense efficient
- Owner-rated about 4.8–4.9 out of 5 across retailer reviews
TOTO's flagship one-piece smart toilet pairs a powerful Tornado dual flush with a fully integrated washlet and EWATER+ self-cleaning, so the bowl and wand sanitize themselves between uses.
Buyers building or renovating a primary bath who want a true all-in-one luxury smart toilet — not a budget seat add-on — and value low-maintenance self-cleaning and water efficiency over the absolute lowest price.
Features & performance
EWATER+ self-cleaning
After each use the washlet electrolyzes ordinary tap water into a mild cleaning agent (similar to a trace of bleach) and mists the bowl and wand, helping prevent buildup so you clean far less often with harsh chemicals.
Tornado dual flush
A centrifugal siphon-jet system rinses the whole bowl at just 1.0 or 0.8 gallons per flush, pairing strong, low-clog performance with WaterSense-level efficiency.
Full integrated washlet
Front, rear and soft-rear washes with oscillating and pulsating action, adjustable warm water (86–104°F), a heated seat (82–97°F), warm-air dryer and air deodorizer — all controlled from the remote.
Hands-free convenience
A proximity sensor opens the lid as you approach and closes and flushes when you leave, plus PREMIST wets the CeFiONtect-glazed bowl before use and a nightlight guides you in the dark.
Pros
- Genuinely self-cleaning: EWATER+ mists the bowl and rinses the wand with electrolyzed water, cutting how often you reach for chemical cleaners
- Powerful, water-thrifty Tornado dual flush at 1.0 / 0.8 GPF that owners say rarely clogs
- Full luxury washlet built in — heated seat, warm-water wash, air dryer, deodorizer and auto lid all in one sleek one-piece unit
- TOTO's reputation for reliability and a clean, skirted design that's easy to wipe down
Cons
- Flagship price — typically $4,400 to $5,100, several times the cost of a toilet plus a bolt-on bidet seat
- Requires a nearby grounded GFCI outlet; many bathrooms need an electrician first
- No UV ACTILIGHT sanitizing (that's reserved for the pricier 750H); the RH relies on EWATER+ alone
- Now an older model that TOTO has been phasing toward the newer Neorest RS/LS, so stock and color options can be limited
What owners say
Owners praise
- Verified owners call it 'pure luxury' and say it 'works like a charm,' praising how clean the bowl stays thanks to EWATER+
- Reviewers love the heated seat, warm-water wash and auto lid, with several saying they'd buy it again
- Retailer reviews average roughly 4.8–4.9 out of 5, with owners describing it as a sleek fusion of toilet and bidet
Common complaints
- At least one owner noted the proximity sensor can be over-eager — using a nearby sink or shower occasionally triggers an unintended flush, and the sensitivity isn't adjustable
- Owners say the manual doesn't clearly explain every feature, so there's a learning curve
- The high price and the need for a dedicated electrical outlet come up as the main barriers to buying
Who it's for
Buy it if: People remodeling a main bathroom who want one seamless, self-cleaning luxury unit, already have or can add a GFCI outlet, and are comfortable in the $4,000–$5,000 range for a flagship TOTO.
Skip it if: Budget-minded shoppers, renters, or anyone without convenient electrical access — a quality toilet paired with a TOTO Washlet seat delivers most of the same comfort features for a fraction of the price.
Alternatives to consider
- TOTO Neorest 750H (MS982CUMG). Step-up flagship that adds ACTILIGHT UV sanitizing on top of EWATER+ for buyers who want the most advanced self-cleaning and don't mind a notably higher price.
- TOTO Washlet S550e on a quality TOTO bowl. A bolt-on luxury bidet seat that delivers heated seat, warm wash, dryer and EWATER+ for far less, ideal if you don't need a single integrated unit.
Our verdict
Frequently asked questions
Is the Neorest RH a full toilet or just a bidet seat?
It's a complete one-piece integrated bidet toilet — the bowl and the washlet are a single unit. You're buying the whole fixture, not a seat you attach to an existing toilet.
Does it need electricity?
Yes. It runs on a standard 120V outlet and draws significant power for the heated seat, water heater and dryer, so it requires a nearby grounded GFCI outlet. If your bathroom doesn't have one by the toilet, budget for an electrician before installation.
How is EWATER+ different from a normal flush?
EWATER+ is separate from flushing. The washlet turns plain tap water into a mild, bleach-like cleaning mist and sprays the bowl and the wash wand between uses, so surfaces stay cleaner with far less scrubbing and chemical cleaner.
