I'm in the process of researching the purchase of three new toilets and I've stumbled across this site. What a great help this has been! I've learned a lot so far, but one of the models that I'm considering doesn't seem to be discussed much (actually I don't think it's mentioned at all). I've basically narrowed the search down to either the Toto Aquia or the Vortens Rhodas, both elongated bowl, ADA height, dual-flush. The Vortens is considerably cheaper than the Toto (roughly $160 per toilet). Another consideration for us is that my wife is not a big fan of the push buttons on the Toto. She has a bit of arthritis and finds them a little harder to operate (and you can't put anything on top of the tank...like a box of Kleenex!). So I'm leaning toward the Vortens at this point. My plumber tells me that he's sold and installed a lot of both models and he's very happy with both of them, and has had very few problems with complaints. The MAP data on the Rhodens seems very good too.
So, I was hoping to find some reviews on either the Rhodas model in particular, or Vortens toilets in general, but I'm not having much luck. Is this not a common or popular brand in the USA? Has anyone had any experience with this brand or model that they would like to share?
