Why my testing is different
there is no more link of the MaP report on Terry's website
The reason the MaP is no longer linked:
1) It only tests for one thing. How much miso paste in plastic liners will it flush without a clog.
2) Anything over 500 grams is overkill. So ratings of 500 plus don't mean much. (the average person does not know that)
There have always been toilets that were perfect in the real world at 450 grams and some that weren't with much higher MaP ratings.
3) The testing method has changed, but they haven't gone back and retested the toilets that were tested years ago. Therefore, you have recent testing with new methods, compared to testing methods that are no longer being done.
4) There is no test for quality control.
5) There is no test for bowl rinsing
6) There is no test for bowl depth
7) There is no test for sound levels or startle factor
8) There is no test for cost of future repairs.
9) There is no test for aesthetics
10) There is no test for, Can you even get the parts?
11) There is no test for how warped the porcelain is and how often they need shimming.
12) There is no testing for how often certain brands will patch a leak on a bowl or tank and put it in a box anyway.
13) There is no test for how many service calls the plumber is required to do on warranty.
14) How easy it assembles
If you disagree with my report on toilets, because I take so much more into consideration than the others,
then I would love to know what car you drive, and why you chose it.
It's like saying you choose a spouse for how many bags of groceries they can carry in from the car in one trip.
Or is that too conceptual for you?
