I just bought a Champion last week to replace a big old water waster with a
cracked bowl. The Champion does flush with a single noticable "clunk", but
does an excellent job clearing the bowl. Judging by the performance and
design inside the tank, I don't think it will ever require a plunger to
clear. The "water spot" could be a bit larger, and the bowl "wash down"
could be better.

I installed a Kohler Wellworth in another bathroom a few months ago, and was
pleasantly surprised. Bigger water spot, and a "two stage" flush, i.e.,
press the handle briefly for a "light" flush, hold the handle down for a
more complete flush. A good value for about $179 (IIRC)

If I have to buy another toilet in the future, I might buy the Wellworth
instead of the Champion and save $100.

I'm not sure why power-assisted flushing would be needed. The two American
Standard Champions (not power assisted) we installed have never needed to
be flushed more than once.

Hi all: Can anyone refer me to web site(s) where I can read about
currently available flush technologies? I'm replacing the toilets in my
home and want to learn about the alternatives, with particular interest
in units offering power-assisted flushing. Thanks for your replies! PE
