Any assistance from someone who has recently replaced their toilet

Must have features: elongaged shape, "comfort" or ADA compliant height. I was
looking for a toilet that would flush in one shot compared to the weaker one it
was replacing. I ended up with an American Standard Champion.

It's not quiet at all, but that wasn't important. It so far hasn't choked on
anything that's been dumped in it, pardon the pun. What it doesn't do well is
clean the sides of the toilet when it flushes. Everything will go down but you
may be left with skid marks on the sides.

Whatever you decide, there are no down sides to choosing elongation and comfort
height. If your kids are that small where they might fall in, be sure to have a
roll call every evening before bed to make sure they're all still there.

I installed a Toto. Outstanding. The part about the skid marks is
true. Probably true of all 'low flow' brands. Anything that doesn't
land in water leaves a skid mark and you can't have 'low flow' and a
large water pool at the same time.

Noise - yep, mine is too. I will gladly accept the noisy flush over
the repeated flushes of the POS I replaced.

I had forgotten just how miserable those 'non-comfort height' or non-
ADA toilets were until today. Had to use one at the house of a guy I
was helping out. Thought I had missed the seat before I finally hit
it.

I gaurantee anyone replaceing a toilet and doesn't use one of the
taller ones will regret it when they get up to the senior years.
