Canadians go through a lot of toilet paper every year, and that isn’t great for our wallets or our plumbing. Plus, it isn’t the most sanitary option. It can even have negative effects on our health and comfort. Using toilet paper also requires a certain level of mobility, and it isn’t easy or accessible for everyone.
In many Asian and European countries, bidets are the norm, even in public bathrooms. And there are so many reasons for it. Bidets can improve hygiene (yay), and comfort (yay again), and help cut down on your toilet paper use (yay some more). They’re very easy to install and can fit pretty much any toilet, too.
If a bidet is the next great addition to your home improvement efforts, we support you. And we want to help you get the right one. There’s a lot of variety in the bidet world, and they’ll be different in things like price, water pressure levels, wash types, and even whether they can dry you or not. It can get overwhelming.
This comprehensive guide will investigate the best bidets in Canada right now and outline the criteria you should consider while making your purchase decision. Let’s dive right into our top five products.
Top Pick: Luxe Neo 185 Bidet
Hot Water Pick: Luxe Neo 320 Bidet
Upgrade Pick: Tushy Spa 3.0 Bidet
Budget Pick: Samodra Series 7 Ultra-Slim Bidet
Runner-Up: Brondell Thinline SimpleSpa SS-150 Bidet
There are a lot of things we like about the Luxe Neo 185 Bidet. It's pretty affordable, which is a major high point, and we’re very happy to tell you that it has the two wash types needed to serve everyone. It will fit pretty much every North American toilet, and won’t leave that annoying seat gap! It’s really easy to install as well since it doesn’t need any electrical power to work.
The dial design is much better than some other Neo versions — they’re smaller and easier to use, and less in the way. You’ll love the self-cleaning nozzle, too. No one wants to clean these things by hand, right? We’re also big fans of the nozzle guard — the nozzles will automatically hide behind it after every use, so you won’t have to worry about them while you’re using the toilet. Hygiene is everything.
There’s only one low point that we want to share with you. And it’s the water pressure settings. Rather than the super common variable dial for controlling water pressure, this one has four preset pressures to choose from. Obviously, this can’t offer the same level of adjustability or precision. It’s not an ideal setup, but it does still get the job done well and offers some degree of customization.
Reviewers are thrilled with the quality of the Luxe Neo 185 Bidet. There haven’t been any comments about leaking connection sites or broken dials, and the installation instructions were easy for everyone to follow. Everyone seems happy with the two wash types, as they ensure everyone gets the customized cleaning they need.
Water Temperature: Cold
Pressure Settings: 4
Wash Types: 2
Self-Cleaning: Yes
Warranty: 18 months
Pros:
Wash nozzles automatically hide behind the guard after each use to keep them clean
Fits most North American toilets without a toilet seat gap
Dials are small and easy to use
Cons:
Preset pressure settings aren’t ideal
Performance: 4.5/5
Usability: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Quality: 5/5
All in all, the Luxe Neo 185 Bidet is one of the best all-around options out there. We don’t love that it has preset pressure settings instead of a variable dial, but everything else about it is designed for ease of use and a great wash. And you just can’t go wrong with that. The price doesn’t hurt either.
The Luxe Neo 320 Bidet has a lot going for it. One of the most unique things has to do with the installation process. Rather than having extra hose length just hanging out in the bathroom, you can cut the hose to fit the space better. You won’t need to worry about an electrical hookup either. Plus, if you’re ready to commit to a bidet long-term, this one is a great choice. It won’t give up early.
With an adjustable water temperature and water pressure, every member of your family will be able to get a clean bum without any discomfort. The dials provide enough resistance to be precise in your adjustments, too, so you get a full range of options. You can choose between a rear wash and a front wash as well. It’s got everybody covered, including itself with the self-cleaning nozzle.
We’re very happy to say we don’t have any issues with the performance of this bidet. However, the visual design leaves a little something to be desired. The control dials are large and clunky, and we just aren’t fans. Plus, the overall visual is not pleasing at all to the eye, so hopefully you don’t care too much about throwing off your bathroom’s décor.
Reviewers have a great opinion of the Luxe Neo 320 Bidet. Since the water temperature and pressure are both adjustable, they’re able to have a super relaxing wash. Since it has a rear wash and front wash option, it’s a perfect choice for everyone. Some people have been using it for years and it’s still in perfect shape.
Water Temperature: Cold and warm
Pressure Settings: Variable
Wash Types: 2
Self-Cleaning: Yes
Warranty: 18 months
Pros:
Hot water hose can be trimmed to match your sink to toilet distance better
Built to last
Dials offer enough resistance to allow for precise adjustments of water pressure and temperature
Cons:
Control dials are a bit clunky
Design is not pleasing
Performance: 4.5/5
Usability: 4.5/5
Price: 4/5
Quality: 5/5
All in all, the Luxe Neo 320 Bidet is the best choice for everyone who needs a little warmth from their bidet. You might not love the aesthetic or the clunky controls, but we can almost guarantee you’ll enjoy everything else it has to offer.
The Tushy Spa 3.0 Bidet has literally every feature you could possibly want. Whether it will be your first step into the bidet world or you’ve been using them for years, this one will wow you. It doesn’t need any electricity to work, and the gorgeous white/bamboo aesthetic is just stunning. And suited to every décor scheme.
The adjustability of this bidet wows us. Everything about it is customizable — the water pressure, the water temperature, even the spray angle. You can set it up to match your anatomy to perfection, and it can be comfortably used by the entire family. You’ve even got an intelligent and automated self-cleaning nozzle to keep things hygienic.
There are only two small notes we need to make before you fall head over heels for this bidet. Its price is higher than most other bidets, so you’ll need to be prepared for a little extra investment upfront. We promise it’s worth it. Also, for the hot water hookup, your toilet needs to be within six feet of your sink. This will rule out some bathrooms.
Reviewers are in love with the Tushy Spa 3.0 Bidet. They like how much they can adjust the wash experience — the adjustable water temperature, water pressure, and spray angle are simply an unbeatable combination. Most of them decided to buy more of them for the other toilets in their house.
Water Temperature: Cold or warm
Pressure Settings: Variable
Wash Types: Variable
Self-Cleaning: Yes
Warranty: 1 year
Pros:
White control box with bamboo dials creates a gorgeous aesthetic
SmartSpray nozzle automatically cleans the bidet nozzle before and after every use
Can adjust the spray angle to suit your anatomy
Cons:
Has to be next to a sink (within 6 ft)
More expensive than most
Performance: 5/5
Usability: 5/5
Price: 4/5
Quality: 5/5
All in all, the Tushy Spa 3.0 Bidet is a top-tier choice. It doesn’t get better than this. You’ll have to fork over a fair amount of moolah for it, but as long as you have the right toilet-to-sink setup, you’ll never want to leave the bathroom without using this bidet again.
The Samodra Series 7 Ultra-Slim Bidet is a neat little option. And we say little because of its ultra-slim design. Not only will it fit almost every toilet, but you’ll also be able to avoid that unsightly toilet gap and the need for toilet seat risers. It installs like a dream, too. It doesn’t need any electricity and it’s got easy-to-follow instructions.
The thing we like most about this bidet is the handle. To control the water spray, you just need to rotate the handle. Twist one for a rear wash, and the other way for a front wash. You can easily adjust the water pressure — just rotate more or less! It could not be simpler for kids or bidet newbies.
The one thing we’d change about this bidet is the cleaning process. As it is, you have to clean it by hand. And that’s just not fun. We would prefer it had a self-cleaning nozzle like so many other bidets — it would be more hygienic day-to-day and would also take one chore off your to-do list.
Reviewers are very happy with the Samodra Series 7 Ultra-Slim Bidet. They love that it doesn’t require any electricity or toilet seat risers, and the two wash types do an awesome job of actually cleaning their target. The main critique that popped up was people wishing for a hot water connection as well, but for the price, they don’t mind too much. The rotating control is a huge hit with everybody.
Water Temperature: Cold
Pressure Settings: Variable
Wash Types: 2
Self-Cleaning: No
Warranty: 18 months
Pros:
Slim design prevents toilet seat gaps and warping
Rotation control is durable and easy to use
Cons:
No self-cleaning nozzle
Performance: 4.5/5
Usability: 4/5
Price: 5/5
Quality: 5/5
All in all, the Samodra Series 7 Ultra-Slim Bidet is our favourite budget-friendly option right now. It might be lacking in versatility a bit, but we can guarantee you’ll love the rotating handle and the effectiveness of the wash. You won’t have any regrets, we promise.
Raise your hand if you love a simple, easy-to-use bidet! We know we do. There’s a time and place for fancy digital things with tons of options, but sometimes, that place is not your bathroom. That’s why we love the design of the Brondell Thinline SimpleSpa SS-150 Bidet so much.
The control knob is the standout feature for us. Not only does it create a sleek and out-of-the-way look for the bidet, but it also makes it incredibly easy to use. You twist one way to turn the water on and adjust the water pressure, and you twist the other way to activate the self-cleaning nozzle. Easy, right?
Since this bidet doesn’t need any electricity, you can install it in any bathroom. It’s built to last, too, since everything inside it is corrosion-resistant. The ultra-slim design is another one of its big draws. It won’t create an annoying toilet gap or wear down the integrity of your toilet seat. After all, a bidet is supposed to solve problems, not create them.
The main problem we have with this option is how limited it is. It only offers one wash type so it won’t be as useful for everyone. People who prefer warm water will also be disappointed. They can’t all do everything, right?
Reviewers really like the Brondell Thinline SimpleSpa SS-150 Bidet. Some of them even prefer it over their fancy digital bidets. The knob control makes it really easy to use, and people love it for their elderly parents for that reason. It feels durable and offers a great rear wash.
Water Temperature: Cold
Pressure Settings: Variable
Wash Types: 1
Self-Cleaning: Yes
Warranty: 1 year
Pros:
Ultra-slim design prevents a toilet seat gap
Control knob is sleek and incredibly user-friendly
All interior parts are corrosion-resistant
Cons:
Limited adjustability
Performance: 4/5
Usability: 4/5
Price: 5/5
Quality: 5/5
Overall, the Brondell Thinline SimpleSpa SS-150 Bidet was a no-brainer as part of our top five. It can be installed in any bathroom (no sink connection or electricity required!) and fits most toilets too. You won’t have all the bells and whistles with this one, but for the price, you really can’t do better.
Some bidets will cost less than $50, but others can cost more than $500. The most expensive bidets will offer a ton of versatility in water pressure, temperature, and spray angle, but they’ll also be equipped with heated dryers and temperature-controlled water. If you don’t need the extras that come with an electrical setup, you’ll be able to find a great bidet between $100 and $250.
Most bidets will come with a variable dial for water pressure. They offer the most precision in adjustments and are just more popular. However, some will come with preset pressures instead, so you’ll need to keep an eye on this feature if customizability is important to you.
There are a few options when it comes to the water temperature of a bidet. Some will only have a cold water hookup, others will also attach to your sink for access to hot water, and others still will have the ability to heat the water themselves. Some people really dislike the feeling of cold water spraying at them, and if that’s you — depending on your budget — you’ll want one of the latter two options.
Many bidets are self-cleaning, and for many people, it’s a must-have feature. They can be tricky to clean by hand depending on their design, and the self-cleaning ones will usually clean the nozzles before and after every use. No one will be doing that by hand, so self-cleaning bidets are also more hygienic.
A bidet can have up to two wash types. Every bidet will have a rear wash, but some will also have a second wash type for the front. It can be invaluable for pregnant people and during menstruation.
Bidets can come with several different control types, so you’ll be able to pick your favourite. The most common controls are dials, but you can also find a long rotating handle or a small rotating knob.
