We bought a Toto Aquia III last year for our master bathroom. It LOOKS great, and is very comfortable, and never clogs. But my DH really hates the "skid marks".
We'll be purchasing another toilet for our hall bathroom this fall, and I need recommendations. I need to stay under $250, ideally less than that. I have spent hours researching this on this forum and others, and the 3 toilets that seem to keep coming up are Kohler Cimmaron, AS Cadet 3, and Toto Drake. But I read horrible things about the Cadet's defects and the splashing it does on flushing, so I think I ruled that one out. Cimmaron also is not top of my list.
We had Kohler Wellworths (circa late 90s/early 2000s) in our old house, and they both performed perfectly well and were cheap. My husband is saying, "Let's just get another one of those!" What's the story with those? I never hear about them in "What's the best budget toilet?" threads....
From my point of view, I would like:
~ Good flushing, skid marks as minimized as possible!!
~ Compact elongated (small bathroom!)
~ Would definitely prefer skirted but realize that's probably not an option in my budget
~ Under $250
~ Good design, good aesthetics, more sleek/modern than traditional if possible.
So are "skid marks" just a function of the new, low-water-use toilets? Are they unavoidable? Even if so, I expect some toilets are better for this than others, right? Our Toto Aquia III has a VERY small water spot...
Thank you, toilet gurus!
