Default Toilet Flushing Mystery

I've got 3 of the same toilets installed in the house I built in
2005. One toilet has me totally freaked out. It doesn't flush
properly and has gotten somewhat worse over time. I can hold the
flush handle down and the flapper opens just fine. The tank is filled
with water and it empties at rate similar to the other toilets. The
bowl just fills up with water the whirlpool starts but it acts as if
it is slightly plugged. It flushes a little and the waste eventually
goes down, but never the normal "empty the bowl" flushes I see in the
other toilets. I've plunged it before so I know there is no clog.

Does anyone have some advice on how to debug this? My instinct says
the bowl was just casted defective. I can't imaging its a larger plug
somewhere else because all the other drains in the bathroom work fine.

Thanks!


ok, was it always this way?

if not, you have an item in it. Pull it off the floor and inspect.
