I decided to purchase a Toto Carlyle toilet to replace an old toilet in my son's bathroom (he just moved to college, and his toilet has had a hard life). I have a Drake in the guest bathroom I bought a few years ago, and love it. My dilemma now is that the Carlyle I is available with the G-Max 1.6 gallon flush (like the Drake, which I know will be good), or I can get the Carlyle II which has the Double Cyclone 1.28 gallon flush. The price difference is a few dollars. Which is better, the G-Max, or the Double Cyclone? Does the double cyclone flush really keep the bowl cleaner than the G-Max? But, can a 1.28 gallon flush really be better than a 1.6 gallon flush? We don't get watersense rebates here, so that's not an issue. Any opinions will be much appreciated.
Another question, on the Drake toilet we have, the front of toilet moves slightly from side to side when you push on it, which makes me wonder if the plumber installed it correctly. Is that normal? Shouldn't it be tightly connected to the floor? We've never had any problems with it, but I may look for a different plumber to intall the new toilet. Toto toilets don't seem to be common in this area, I've had several plumbers tell me they'd never seen one before.
