Toto Guinevere

I've read a lot a good press on this forum regarding Toto's in general. I have a small bathroom with a 14" rough-in. I would like to get an ADA compliant toilet which means it will be elongated (which always adds 2" to the depth). I especially like the Toto Guinevere because it is 28-1/4" in depth and it looks good too. I want to know if anyone has an opinion regarding (1) the ease of installation of the UniFit Rough-in (2) the functionality of Toto's using the UniFit (I've read bad press on offset flanges and don't want to take a chance) (3) any comments on the Toto Double Cyclone flushing system.

I'm also considering the elongated Drake, since it is so highly praised on this site and others; and it is also one of the shortest toilets in it's class with a depth of 28-1/4"; however, it has a 12" rough-in which means I will have a gap at the wall. I've read about putting a shelf on the wall to overcome this issue; however, my question is "where do you put the shelf?"

All thoughts are appreciated.

The Unifit is not considered an offset flange.

It's a part of the trapway, that can be ordered in different lengths.
Toilets that use the Unift, come standard for the 12" rough-in.

You can also order for the 10" and the 14"

Performance is good with these.

No big thing with the Unifit adapter except you have to drill 4 (or maybe it was six?) holes to mount the thing to the floor. If the floor is tiled, depending on the kind of tile, you might need a diamond bit to do it. Basically, it bolts to the existing flange using shorter bolts like a toilet, then the back of the thing is anchored to the floor. The back part has two closet bolts that fit in it to hold the toilet, so the toilet is attached to the Unifit, the unifit is attached to the floor, and the front is attached to the flange.

I installed two Vespin unifits last winter and from my standpoint they are easier to install than a conventional toilet because you are not wrestling with the wax ring as you set the the entire toilet on the flange. I was a little worried that it would be hard to index the toilet outlet into the unifit inlet, but it is well engineered and that was no problem. There is a funnel shape in the inlet so you don't have to be real close to get the units mated.

I have said before that it took me longer to take the units out of the boxes than it did to install them. The Vespins are two piece and since I was working alone, I set the bowl then put the tank on to minimize the weight, but it was a very simple project.

Going on 11 months with nary a plunge. It is bathroom nirvana.
