I'm strongly considering buying a Caroma Caravelle One Piece Easy Height Round Front Plus toilet model 989668W/BI. However, when I viewed Caroma's installation video it's clear they don't have a method of bolting the toilet to the floor. You're just supposed to bolt a small mounting flange then place the bowl over it and use silicon caulk around the base.
Is this really secure? What's to stop the whole thing from tipping over if you have the misfortune of having an oversized guest?
By comparison, the Toto Aquia Dual Flush models look like they have lots of plastic parts in the trap connections which to me is just asking for trouble in the future.... something plumbers probably don't mind.
Given the cost of these things, they need to last and be trouble free for many years.
Is the Caroma a better fit for the long haul?
