Bird nest, debris, whatever."

That's a great idea, I didn't think of that. It's a condo so I'll have to
call our association to have them come out and check the vent pipe. This
could be why the solution has been so elusive.

"Is the OP using the blue toilet cleaning stuff in this unit?
Put some food coloring down the dip tube and flush. Does it come out
good all the way around the bowl?"

Nope no blue stuff, and I tried the food coloring. No leakage. That's why
this has gotten me so stumped, everything seems to be working in good
order except that the water just doesn't evacuate from the bowl properly.
Vent stack could be the culprit; unfortunately our condo association isn't
the fastest in responding to maintenance issues.

To the previous poster: the water does actually make it into the bowl upon
flushing. There's just a lack of pressure during the bowl evacuation phase
which is causing the problem.

The food cloring wasnt to check for leaks!

Try flushing the color must go ALL the way around the bowl........

Might be internal sediment, might try giving it some acid to clean the
internal passages. Low cost easy to do- Hide quoted text -

If it is the stack, then pouring water into the toilet would not
work. The OP didn't say if the water in the tank went down slowly
when he flushed, it it goes down slowly, the problem is in the siphon
area and an earlier poster said to fish around which is what to do.
