Best Toto toilet for most Canadian homes: Drake
The Toto Drake is the toilet recommended by plumbers when someone wants a reliable replacement without a complicated install. It is a two-piece.

Who should buy it: anyone replacing a standard two-piece. The tank and bowl are separate, so a repair is a part, not a new toilet.

Toto WASHLET: S2, S5, S7 and S7A
A WASHLET is a bidet seat. It fits most elongated toilets, so you do not have to replace the toilet. All four have warm water, a heated seat, a warm-air dryer, a deodorizer, PREMIST before use, and EWATER+ wand cleaning. The differences are the control, the presets, and a few extras.
| WASHLET | Price | Control | What you get over the one below |
|---|---|---|---|
| S2 | From $590 | Side panel | The entry seat. Dryer has three heat settings. |
| S5 | From $955 | Remote, 4 users | Same cleaning as the S2, with a remote and four saved settings. |
| S7 | From $1,791 | Remote, 4 users | EWATER+ cleans the wand and the bowl. Dryer has five heat settings. Auto flush kit available on select Toto toilets. |
| S7A | From $1,966 | Remote, 4 users | Everything on the S7, plus the lid opens and closes by itself. |
The WASHLET S2 is the entry seat, from $590. The control is on the side of the seat, not a remote. It has warm water, a heated seat, a three-setting dryer, PREMIST, and EWATER+ wand cleaning.
The WASHLET S5 is the one most buyers should start with, from $955. Same cleaning as the S2, with a remote and four saved settings. A Drake plus an S5 is the usual way to add a bidet without a new toilet.
The WASHLET S7 is from $1,791. EWATER+ cleans the wand and the bowl after use. The dryer has five heat settings. An optional auto flush kit works on select Toto toilets.
The WASHLET S7A is from $1,966. It is the S7 with a lid that opens and closes by itself. Choose it if you want the seat to do that. Otherwise the S7 is the same seat without the auto lid.
A WASHLET+ toilet, such as the Drake WASHLET+ S2 from $1,196, hides the water hose and power cord. If you are keeping the toilet, buy the seat. If you are replacing the toilet, a WASHLET+ set is the cleaner install.
How to choose
Elongated or round. Elongated is more comfortable for most adults. Round fits a smaller bathroom. Measure the space in front of the toilet before you pick.
Standard or comfort height. Comfort height (also called universal or chair height) is easier to sit and stand from. Standard height matches older toilets and is lower. If someone in the house has trouble standing, pick comfort height.
With seat or less seat. Many Toto listings say less seat. That means the seat is sold separately. If you want a SoftClose seat or a WASHLET, buy the less-seat toilet and add the seat. If you want it ready to use, buy the version with a seat.
10 inch or 12 inch rough-in. The rough-in is the distance from the wall to the centre of the floor bolts. Most Canadian homes are 12 inch. Measure before you order a two-piece. The wrong rough-in does not fit.
WASHLET or WASHLET+. A WASHLET is a bidet seat on a toilet you already have. A WASHLET+ toilet hides the water hose and power cord. If you are keeping the toilet, buy the seat. If you are replacing the toilet, a WASHLET+ set is the cleaner install.

What toilets are recommended by plumbers?
Toilets recommended by plumbers are two-piece models they can service. That is why Drake is the common answer. A one-piece looks cleaner, but the tank and bowl are one unit, so a failed tank means a new toilet.
