Best Self Cleaning Toilets of 2026

The Drake paired with a WASHLET seat is the self cleaning toilet we recommend first because it combines the slickest bowl glaze on the market with a powerful full-rim rinse and an automatic pre-mist and wand self-clean cycle, so the bowl genuinely stays clean with minimal effort.

The Drake's bowl is finished with CeFiONtect, an ion-barrier glaze that fills the microscopic pores in the porcelain so waste, mineral scale and bacteria have almost nothing to grip, which is the core of its self cleaning behavior. The Dynamax Tornado flush feeds water through angled nozzles to create a swirling rinse that reaches the full rim rather than dumping it down the front, and that combination of slick glaze and complete rinse lets a single 1.28 gallon flush leave the bowl visibly cleaner while posting a strong 1000 gram MaP score. Add a TOTO WASHLET seat and the system gains a pre-mist that wets the bowl before use so waste is less likely to stick, plus a self-cleaning wand that rinses the bidet nozzle before and after every cycle.

Owners consistently report that the bowl stays clear of the brown waterline ring and hard-water scale far longer than a standard-glaze toilet, and that the pre-mist noticeably reduces sticking. The WASHLET adds a heated seat, warm-water wash and a deodorizer that keep the whole fixture more sanitary. The main downsides are the higher combined cost of toilet plus seat and the need for a nearby grounded outlet to power the WASHLET. For most buyers who want the cleanest bowl with the least scrubbing, this is the default choice.

The Neorest is TOTO's flagship integrated smart toilet, and it is the most fully automatic self cleaning toilet you can buy, combining the CeFiONtect glaze with an electrolyzed-water deep-clean cycle that sanitizes the bowl on a schedule with no manual effort.

The Neorest is an integrated unit, meaning the smart seat and the toilet are engineered as one piece rather than a seat added later. Its standout self cleaning feature is EWATER+, which electrolyzes the rinse water into a mild disinfecting mist that the toilet applies to the bowl and wand before and after use and on an automatic schedule, breaking down waste film and reducing bacteria without chemicals. That works alongside the CeFiONtect glaze and a pre-mist, and the auto-flush and auto-lid mean you can go a full cycle without touching the fixture. The dual flush sips 0.8 gallons on the partial mode and 1.0 gallon on the full, keeping water use very low.

Owners describe the Neorest as the closest thing to a truly self maintaining toilet, noting that the EWATER+ cycle keeps the bowl and nozzle markedly cleaner between manual cleanings. It also bundles a heated seat, warm-water wash, dryer, deodorizer and night light. The tradeoffs are the high price and the need for a dedicated grounded outlet and professional installation. For a buyer who wants the most automatic self cleaning available, it is the clear leader.

The T-0001 is Woodbridge's integrated smart toilet, and it brings automatic bowl pre-misting, a self-cleaning bidet wand and an auto-flush sensor into a sleek skirted body for a fraction of the premium brands' cost.

The T-0001 covers the core active self cleaning features that matter most: an automatic pre-mist that wets the bowl before use so waste sticks less, a self-rinsing bidet nozzle that cleans itself before and after each wash, and an auto-flush sensor so the bowl is cleared without a touch. Its 1.6 gallon full flush posts an 800 gram MaP score, clearing solids reliably, while the lower partial mode trims daily water use. The fully skirted body and tankless look wipe clean fast and suit a contemporary bathroom.

Woodbridge is a newer brand than the established names, so its long-term electronics reliability and parts depth are not as deep, and a few owners note the remote and sensors can be less refined than premium units. Owner reviews are broadly positive on the clean-staying bowl, the heated seat and the strong value, with the usual caution to confirm a nearby outlet and the supply connection on install. For a buyer who wants real automatic self cleaning features without the flagship price, it is the standout value, and it carries over from our roundup of the best Woodbridge toilets.

The Veil is Kohler's integrated intelligent toilet, a compact skirted unit that combines a self-cleaning bidet wand and an automatic UV-light sanitizing cycle with the brand's nationwide parts support.

The Veil packs its integrated electronics into one of the more compact smart-toilet footprints, with a fully skirted body that hides the trapway and wipes clean in a single pass. Its self cleaning features include a bidet wand that automatically rinses itself before and after each use and, on the cycle, a UV-light sanitizing pass that helps keep the wand sanitary between uses, plus an auto-deodorizer. The dual flush sips 0.8 gallons on the partial mode and 1.28 gallons on the full, reaching an 800 gram MaP score so solids clear in one push.

Because Kohler is sold in every big-box store, replacement parts and service for the Veil are easier to find locally than for boutique smart brands, which is a real advantage on a fixture with electronics. Owners praise the compact shape, the heated seat and the clean-staying skirted body, while a few note the feature set is slightly narrower than the Neorest. For a buyer who wants a major-brand smart toilet with automatic wand cleaning in a small modern bathroom, it is a strong pick, much like its standard sibling in our guide to the best Kohler toilets.

The UltraMax II is TOTO's clean-lined one-piece, pairing the same CeFiONtect glaze and Tornado rinse as our top pick in a seamless body that itself wipes clean fast, making it the best passive self cleaning toilet without a smart seat.

The UltraMax II finishes its bowl with CeFiONtect, the same ion-barrier glaze that makes the Drake so easy to keep clean, so waste and mineral scale struggle to stick and a normal Tornado flush rinses more of it away. As a one-piece, it has no tank-to-bowl seam to trap grime, and the smooth exterior wipes clean in one pass, so the whole fixture stays low-maintenance, not just the bowl. The 1.28 gallon flush posts a strong 1000 gram MaP score, clearing solids cleanly while staying WaterSense efficient.

Owners single out the UltraMax II for how rarely the bowl needs scrubbing thanks to the glaze and full-rim rinse, and for the quiet, smooth flush. It does not include an automatic wash cycle, so it is a passive self cleaning toilet rather than an active one, but you can add a WASHLET seat later if you want the pre-mist and wand features. For a buyer who wants the cleanest possible bowl in a seamless one-piece without electronics, it is the best choice, and it features in our guide to the best flushing one-piece toilets.

The St. Tropez Smart is Swiss Madison's integrated smart toilet, bringing an automatic bowl pre-mist, a self-cleaning bidet nozzle and an auto-flush sensor into a low-profile modern body for less than the established premium brands.

The St. Tropez Smart covers the active self cleaning features that matter: a pre-mist that wets the bowl before use to keep waste from sticking, a self-rinsing bidet nozzle that cleans itself between uses, and an auto-flush sensor that clears the bowl hands-free. Its dual flush pairs a low 0.8 gallon partial mode with a 1.28 gallon full flush rated at 800 grams on the MaP test, so it stays efficient while clearing solids. Its appeal is the combination of those automatic features with the brand's signature low-profile, sharply modern skirted shape that wipes clean in seconds.

Swiss Madison is a younger brand, so its long-term electronics reliability and parts depth are not as deep as TOTO or Kohler, and a few owners note the remote interface is less refined. Owner reviews are broadly positive on looks, the heated seat and the clean-staying bowl, with the usual caution to confirm a nearby outlet and supply pressure on install. For a water-minded buyer who wants a modern smart toilet for less, it is a strong value, and it shares styling DNA with our best skirted toilets guide.

The Cadet 3 is American Standard's value workhorse with the EverClean antimicrobial surface, delivering a passive self cleaning bowl that resists staining bacteria and a strong full flush for one of the lowest prices in the category.

The Cadet 3's self cleaning angle is its EverClean surface, an antimicrobial glaze that inhibits the growth of the bacteria, mold and mildew that cause stains and odors, so the bowl stays cleaner and fresher between scrubbings. It is a passive self cleaning toilet rather than a smart one, but the antimicrobial finish plus a strong 1.28 gallon siphonic flush rated at 1000 grams on the MaP test means the bowl clears completely and resists the buildup that forces frequent cleaning, all at a value price.

Owners favor the Cadet 3 for high-traffic and rental bathrooms because the EverClean surface keeps the bowl looking clean with less effort, the flush is strong and reliable, and the ten-year limited warranty signals confidence in the build. It is a plain two-piece with an exposed trapway, so it does not wipe down as fast as a skirted model and has no automatic features. For a buyer who wants an antimicrobial, low-maintenance bowl without paying for electronics, it is the smart value, much like its sibling in our guide to the best American Standard toilets.

The Cimarron is Kohler's dependable comfort-height two-piece, and with its smooth glaze and powerful canister flush it stays clean with less effort while offering the brand's nationwide parts support.

The Cimarron pairs a smooth, easy-clean glaze with Kohler's AquaPiston canister flush, which releases water into the bowl from all sides rather than a single point, giving a strong, even full-rim rinse that scrubs the whole bowl on every push. That complete rinse plus the smooth finish keeps the waterline ring and buildup from forming as quickly, and the 1.28 gallon flush posts a strong 1000 gram MaP score, clearing solids in one pass while staying WaterSense efficient. It is a passive self cleaning toilet, relying on glaze and rinse rather than electronics.

Owners praise the Cimarron's strong, quiet flush and the lower cleaning effort the even rinse provides, and because Kohler is sold everywhere, the canister, seals and fill valve are easy to find locally for years. The canister flush also seals more reliably over time than a cheap flapper, reducing running-toilet leaks. It is an exposed-trapway two-piece without an ion-barrier glaze or any automatic features, so heavy hard-water households may still see some scale. For a dependable, low-upkeep two-piece with easy parts, it is a smart pick, and it appears in our guide to the best comfort height toilets.
