TOTO Aquia vs TOTO Drake vs Drake II vs Vespin II
Comparing the four models from Toto. Aquia, Drake, Drake II and Vespin II
Some people ask which toilet should they get between the four.
It's kind of a personal taste thing.
They both work very nicely.
And they are originally from different parts of the world.
The first Aquia toilets we were installing were from Thailand.
Skirted bowl, with small water spot.
The flush is a washdown, meaning that all of the water for the flush pours in from holes under the rim of the upper bowl.
The holes are cut at an angle, so the water swirls around the bowl as it flushes.
TOTO Aquia CST414M
The Drake was designed in the US, with a larger water spot.
The flush works on siphon.
Most of the water enters their lower trapway from an opening down low.
The water pours in below the surface, starting the bowl to siphon, and then the surface of the water in the bowl collapses and disappears down the drain.
Some of the water is diverted to the rim holes under the rim, they are cut straight so the water rinses straight down the bowl.
The Drake II has a similar bowl to the Drake, except that instead of many rim holes tucked under the rim, it uses two rinse outlets, that angle horizontally, with two rinse jets circling the bowl.
They call that double cyclone rinse.

The Vespin II, is like the Drake II, except that the bowl is also skirted.
TOTO Vespin II, CST474CEFG
The Vespin II and the Drake II comes standard with Sanagloss in the whites and off whites, Bone and Beige.
The original Drake can be ordered with Sanagloss in the Cotton White as an option.

Go for the TOTO Drake II :)
I went with the TOTO Drake II. My friend and her husband just purchased it and only had good things to say about it.
I went with the Cotton Finish rather than Bone finish...I'm very picky when it comes to finishes/colors. It was easy to match with my bathroom decor. The best part is that I save water and the flushing power is great!
If you are looking for the right toilet...go with the TOTO Drake II!!!

Does anyone know how ecofriendly this toilet is? Does it really save money on water? How can you know? I went to purchase this item and held off. The price was great but wanted to check out the specs. Any info would be great!

All of the Watersense toilets save water. Yes, they really do.
Toto Drake vs. Toto Aquia
This is new construction and I have several comparison questions. The item numbers are listed below.
1. TOTO Drake vs. Aquia - The Drake has an awesome reputation for flushing (throw away your plunger). Does the Aquia flush as well?
3. TOTO Drake CST743E-01 - Is the only difference between these two the elongated bowl?
TOTO Drake CST744E-01
4. TOTO Aquia I Dual Flush Toilet - Is the only difference between these two the elongated bowl?
TOTO Aquia II Dual Flush Toilet
Thanks in Advance!

In reply to Shayna Deck's question regarding how eco friendly the Drake II is. It is very friendly. In theory all low flow toilets should be eco friendly, but in truth many are not and here's why. Many of them don't flush all of the debris on the first flush. So, flush a second time and there goes the eco friendly down the drain. (Pun intended) I have two Totos in my home and have never had to flush either one a second time. I know it is hard to believe at low flow toilets actually can perform, there were many very bad experiences when these first came out. Unfortunately, some manufactures still are turning out products that don't perform well, but Totos do what a toilet should do.
