TOTO Neorest LS Review 2026

The TOTO Neorest LS is, without question, one of the most sophisticated toilets available to US buyers in 2026. Starting at $8,007, it sits comfortably in the luxury tier of the Neorest lineup, and it earns that position with a feature set that goes far beyond what any standard bidet seat can offer. The short answer to whether it is worth the price is yes, for the right buyer. This review will tell you exactly what you get, how it compares to the Neorest RS and AS, and who this toilet is genuinely built for.

What is the TOTO Neorest LS?

The Neorest LS (model MS8732CUMFG) is a fully integrated one-piece smart bidet toilet from TOTO, Japan's most respected bathroom brand. It replaced the older Neorest 700H model and introduced several upgrades including EWATER+ coverage under the seat, four user memory settings (up from two on the 700H), a seamless ceramic base for easier cleaning, and a choice of decorative trim finishes in silver, nickel, or black.

The LS stands apart from the rest of the Neorest family through its design language. Where the Neorest RS has organic curves and the AS has a rounded silhouette, the LS pursues sharp, straight lines and a rectangular form that leaves what TOTO describes as a dignified, edgy impression. It is the right toilet for a bathroom with a modern, minimalist, or architecturally precise aesthetic.

Available in Cotton White with your choice of Silver, Nickel, or Black metallic trim, it is one of the most customisable models in the Neorest range.

Key features explained

EWATER+

EWATER+ is TOTO's electrolyser-based self-cleaning system and arguably the most important technology in the Neorest lineup. After every use, EWATER+ automatically mists the wand, the inside of the bowl, and the area under the seat with electrolysed water. This process converts ordinary tap water into a solution with properties similar to diluted hypochlorous acid, effective at breaking down bacteria and residue without introducing any synthetic chemicals into your bathroom or water supply.

The key point for buyers is what this means in practice: the bowl stays cleaner between manual cleaning sessions, the wand requires no separate disinfection routine, and the under-seat area, one of the most neglected surfaces in any bathroom, is treated after every flush. On the Neorest LS specifically, EWATER+ covers all three of these zones, which is an upgrade over earlier models that only treated the wand and bowl.

PREMIST

PREMIST is a simpler technology with a significant practical impact. Before every use, an automatic mist of water coats the entire inner surface of the bowl. TOTO's research shows that a pre-wetted bowl surface with CEFIONTECT ceramic glaze reduces waste adhesion by approximately 80 percent compared to a dry bowl. The result is a bowl that requires less scrubbing and stays cleaner with less effort. PREMIST and CEFIONTECT work as a system: CEFIONTECT provides the ultra-smooth glazed surface, and PREMIST ensures it is always wet before use.

TORNADO FLUSH

The Neorest LS uses TOTO's TORNADO FLUSH system, which uses two powerful inlet nozzles to create a 360-degree centrifugal rinse. The bowl has no rim holes, eliminating the hidden surface where bacteria typically accumulate in standard toilets. Flush volumes are 1.0 GPF for a full flush and 0.8 GPF for a reduced flush, making this an ultra-high-efficiency toilet despite its powerful cleaning action.

Auto open and close lid

The seat and lid open automatically as you approach, triggered by proximity sensors, and close automatically after use. This is a fully hands-free experience from approach to departure. The lid also supports an "auto flush with closed seat" option, which can be programmed for households with young children or pets.

Heated seat and warm air dryer

The seat heats rapidly as you approach, with five temperature settings. The warm air dryer offers five temperature settings as well, and with the instantaneous water heater providing continuous warm water (not stored in a tank), the entire cleansing experience is available from the moment you sit down without any warm-up period.

4-user memory settings

The illuminated remote control stores preferences for up to four users, including spray type, water temperature, water pressure, seat temperature, and dryer settings. Each user can call up their preferences instantly without adjusting anything manually. For households where multiple people have different preferences, this is a meaningful quality-of-life feature.

ADA compliant, universal height

The Neorest LS meets ADA universal height requirements, making it accessible and comfortable for users of all ages and physical abilities. The seat height makes it easier to sit down and stand up compared to standard-height toilets.

TOTO Neorest LS vs RS vs AS: how does it compare?

The Neorest lineup includes four primary floor-mounted models. Here is how the LS compares to the RS and AS:

In terms of technology, all three models are essentially equivalent. The difference between the RS, AS, and LS is almost entirely design. The LS costs more than the RS because of its larger footprint, its trim finish options, and its premium linear design. If your bathroom is modern and architectural, the LS is the right choice. If you prefer a softer, more organic look, the RS at $5,199 delivers the same features at a lower price.

Who is the TOTO Neorest LS best for?

The Neorest LS is the right choice for four types of buyer.

• Homeowners completing a high-end bathroom renovation who want a toilet that looks as impressive as the rest of the space. The rectangular form and metallic trim make it a statement piece that earns its price visually as well as technologically.

• Buyers upgrading from the TOTO Neorest 700H, which the LS directly replaces. The LS adds under-seat EWATER+ coverage, four user memory settings (vs two), a warmer heated seat, and a seamless ceramic base, all representing meaningful improvements.

• Users who value a completely hands-free, chemical-free bathroom experience. From auto lid to auto flush to EWATER+ self-cleaning, the LS requires almost no manual interaction and no harsh cleaning chemicals.

• Anyone with accessibility needs. The universal height seating and hands-free operation make the LS one of the most accessible luxury toilets available.

It is not the right choice for buyers whose primary concern is value for money. If you want the full Neorest feature set at a lower price, the Neorest RS at $5,199 delivers almost identical performance in a different body. If you want the absolute pinnacle of TOTO engineering, the NX2 at $11,452 adds Actilight UV sterilization and TOTO's flagship seamless lid design.

Installation requirements

Before purchasing, confirm your bathroom meets these requirements.

• A dedicated 120V GFCI electrical outlet within 3 feet of the toilet centerline. A dedicated 15-amp circuit is strongly recommended. 

• A standard 12-inch rough-in from the finished wall to the center of the drain. The Neorest LS does not accommodate 10-inch or 14-inch rough-ins.

• A cold water supply line within reach. The LS uses an instantaneous heating system so no separate hot water connection is required.

• Professional installation is recommended. The unit ships with full installation documentation. Most licensed plumbers and electricians familiar with smart toilets can complete installation in two to four hours.

What customers say

Majestic Flush customers who have purchased the Neorest LS describe the experience consistently in a few ways. The hands-free operation from approach to flush tends to surprise even buyers who expected it. The EWATER+ system reduces how often the bowl needs manual cleaning, which is frequently cited as one of the most practical benefits over time. One buyer who made the purchase after a trip to Japan described it as "really excited to start using the toilet" and praised the responsiveness of the support team in helping choose the right model and finish.

The most common note from installers and buyers is to confirm the electrical outlet before delivery.

Our verdict: is the TOTO Neorest LS worth $8,000?

Yes, for the buyer it is designed for. If you are renovating a modern bathroom, want a completely hands-free and chemical-free experience, and care about how the toilet looks as much as how it performs, the Neorest LS justifies its price. The combination of EWATER+, PREMIST, TORNADO FLUSH, and CEFIONTECT means you are buying a toilet that actively maintains its own hygiene. You are also buying a piece of TOTO design that holds its own against any high-end fixture in the room.

If budget is the primary consideration, the Neorest RS at $5,199 offers the same core technology in a different design. If you want to step up further, the NX1 at $11,452 is TOTO's flagship model.

For most buyers who have decided on the Neorest range and prefer a modern, architectural aesthetic, the LS is the right answer.
