Choosing a New Toilet

Baron · Jul 22, 2008

I had an earlier thread started about replacing a toilet flange -- and I appreciate everyone's help on that --

Now I need to pick out a new toilet.

I'm interested in the Toto Drake series -- and I have also looked at the Kohler Cimmarron and American Standard Champion toilets.

Just want a reliable -- good (1) flush toilet.

Any feedback/recommendations on these or any other toilet Manufacturers?

Thanks.

I have one (1) toilet in my house and three (3) people. The Toto Drake has never let us down in the two years we've owned it.

The Drake would be the better of the three mentioned.
Then the Kohler,
then the Champion.
Installing the Champion is a bit harder than the others.
I have the least amount of problems with the Toto.

I just installed the Toto Gweneth over the weekend, so far very nice.

I say why pussyfoot around the issue...
The Am Std. Champion was a dog the day it came out...
And 4 redesigns later its still a dog...

If you get one it will let you down!

Look at this thread right here! How many of them are thrilled customers?

I guess that's why the neighbor across the street gets his toilets from me now. He used to have the Champion. It became a leaker too.
And the neighbor next to him has Toto.

There's a Toto dealer in my area -- looks like I'll be going there this weekend.

Thanks.

Space Saving

Does Toto make a space saving model??

Space Saving?

The Toto is fairly compact compared to other brands.
It's just one more reason that plumbers find it an easy install.
It's less likely to hit doors.

Ok -- I'll download their spec sheets and take a look at them.

Thanks for the feedback.
