I'm happy with my Toto; plan to add another when the existing one
craps out. You can compare Totos he

Look for one with a fully glazed trap, bigger than 2" Toto's "Drake"
fills the bill, and seems well thought of. There are good ones in
other brands

And no, I have nothing to do with Toto, other than being a satisfied
user.

If you're looking at a Toto there's nothing to avoid. Nice toilets,
work well. Check eBay for prices then call the company - I've had
them quote lower prices over the phone.

R

Gerber makes nice toilets but I would only buy an extended height version.
Their water level is very high in the normal height version. Consumer
Reports recommends buying taller toilets anyway though I wonder if that is a
problem in a house with young children.

Toto may be swooped up in a Tornado and take to OZ.

Mike,

Consumer's Report did a pretty comprehensive review and comparison of
toilets in the last year or two, and Toto was highly rated. You might check
with the local library or the CU website to see if you can get this
comparison. It will also tell you which brands to avoid.

Stay away from the "Plebe" model. I forget who makes it, but they are the
cheap kind that are put in by builders. They clog easily.

I recently installed a Kohler and an American Standard. The former clogs
much more than the latter. Kohler's are easier to install, but they don't
seem to work as well.

I have 2 Toto's. They work great. One, a Gmax model, which has 3 inch
flap gives better flush than other one with 2 inch flap.

I strongly suggest you avoid the various self appointed expert web sites or
annecdotal reports and download the latest copy of the "Maximum Performance"
toilet test report he

Have been plumbing for 30 yrs and have never had a complaint about
American Standard.

American Standard.

And indeed, according to the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA)
tests most American Standard models other than the EL and RF ones perform very
well. OTOH, as with many manufacturers, AS makes bad performing ones as well.
The EL and RF models perform extremely poorly.

Whoops. EL and RF refer to the bowl style. The AS models (of either style) that
do not perform well are the FloWise, Plebe and Revenna models, among others. See
the report for specifics...
