So, my wife and I just moved into a new house. The toilet is stamped 1975, so I'm thinking it is a 5-7 gpf-er. I am looking to save some money, as our move made our water/sewer bill skyrocket, probably on account of the toilet situation. I was just going to drive myself to HD and pick up a toilet, but I'm the kind that will research something to death, which is what I have done with a toilet now. I have paralysis by analysis!
I started with a Glacier Bay because it got high ratings on Consumer Reports and it is $88. Decided to skip it. Then I started researching Kohler and American Standard models. In doing that, I have found out about Toto and the HUGE amounts of loyal Toto-ers there are, especially on this forum, which everyone raves about and references.
My wife would like a round bowl because of marking issues after doing your business. I would like an elongated, but feel that the bathroom needs the space, so I'm cool with a round (or something 28ish and below, depth-wise). I have discovered CEFIONTECT and AS's EverClean. Are they really all that they claim to be or is it more marketing hype? Kohler doesn't have one, so what does that mean?
Here is what I'm looking for:
ADA/Comfort/Universal/whatever-you-call-it height
Round bowl
No skid marks
1.28gpf
Ideally, the 1.28, ADA, CEFIONTECT Drake, but it only comes elongated with those parameters (or does it come round?)
I then found the Entrada, but it doesn't seem to come with CEFIONTECT (or does it?), or does this not really even matter much?
So, I'm down to: Entrada (sans CEFIONTECT), a Kohler Cimarron (not great in the skid mark ratings category), Kohler Memoirs, and maybe a Delta Prelude (maybe). I have read enough negativity surrounding the AS Champion 4 and Cadet 3 to sway me to avoid.
So, toilet forum, what say you?
