Have you ever tried to replace the entire flapper assembly in a one
piece toilet?
Also, they are normally low rise, taking away a little gravity from the
flush. I view them as one "piece" of crap



I put in a 1-piece toilet about 3 or 4 years ago. I've had no problems
with it at all, and it flushes much better than my old toilet. It
hasn't needed a new flapper yet. I imagine replacing the overflow tube
and flapper seat would be an interesting chore (where do you access the
nut?) I did replace the pilot-operated fill valve with an old-fashioned
brass ballcock after the plastic fill valve water-hammered itself to
death after just a few months.

I'm remodeling the bathroom now, and I will have to pull the toilet up
to tile behind it, then again a couple of days later to grout. :-( If
it was a conventional toilet I could just remove the tank for each of
these steps.

One-piece are also a lot heavier and cumbersome to move. They are fine
when they are bolted down, and they are easier to clean than a 2-piece.
