We replaced two of our toilets with American Standard "Champion"
"Right-height" (ADA-approved) models, approx. $250 (bowl and tank, but
excluding seat) at Lowe's or HD.

These have 1.6-gal. tanks, of course, but we have never had to flush
more than once, unlike the old 5-gal. ones, which we replaced because
they simply did not work well and wasted water. When the new ones are
flushed, the "stuff" simply disappears with a "whoosh" -- and no, they
are not pressurized, but the passageways are huge.

following message into cyberspace:

My mom is up in her 70s and with age constipation as the digestive tract dries
out a bit. I want to put in a taller toilet bowl, so that she sits up higher,
that it will assist in crapping process.

I would like to get one that flushes a full 5 gallons and that is handicapped
heighth. What am I looking for, 18 inches? Will I have to buy this used or do
they make decent toilets any longer?
