Just a quick survey of opinions:
I've never replaced a toilet in my life, though I do lots of stuff around the house repair-wise. My parents have three American Standards that use 7GPF, so they wish to replace them with something that's more efficient and less prone to being clogged. I've narrowed the toilet choices down to two:
1) Eco Drake Round bowl
2) Eljer Titan round bowl
The Eljer could be bought and transported by myself locally from a hardware store, and the Toto's would have to be shipped. I'm concerned that the toilets may get damaged in transit, so I'm considering just buying the Eljer (that and it can handle more waste per flush than the Eco Drake). Am I being paranoid here? I've heard the Toto's are awesome, and I like the 1.28 GPF of the Eco Drake. The Eljer uses more water by comparison, but it seems to not be put together as well and is prone to leakage.
Because of these concerns, I haven't taken the plunge on either water closet. Can anybody sway me in either direction? Which should I pick up and why? The Toto's get the best reviews across the board, but a round-bowl Eco model isn't as forceful as a Titan...
