Last year I bought a Kohler Cimarron and installed it in a tiny bathroom that had been added onto our house God knows when. The first major problem I ran into was although the base of the toilet fit perfectly, the tank stuck out an extra inch or so in the back. Sadly I am impatient and wanted it installed no matter what so I cut into the wall about 3/4 of an inch.
I was confident that the superb flushing abilities of the cimarron would keep my wife from pointing out the fact that the bathroom now looks strange with the tank set inside the wall. The flushing abilities are wonderful but the bowl cleaning issue that others have commented on are driving me over the edge. I hate cleaning and my wife is a clean freak so it's been a long year at my house.
I hate to spend money but I can't take it anymore. I want to solve my rough in size problem AND the dirty bowl problem once and for all by installing a new toilet. That's where you all come in!
The new toilet needs to be able to handle 500 grams. It needs to have a large water spot and not do the little cimarron trick where it starts of pretty high but then quickly "adjusts" to a small spot. It needs to be able to rinse the darn bowl. It needs to have a rough in smaller than 12" since I know that is too large after my cimarron experience. I read where Terry said that the TOTO drake lists a rough in of 12" but in reality is an 11". That's ok with me IF the cimarron is in reality 12" because an inch less is all I need. I did also see that I could get a rough in adaptor on several models so that would be an option as well.
I read through the consumer report and it provides exellent information. I want to make sure I get it right this time though so I'm hoping that some of you experts out there will be patient enough to read through my novel and help me out. Thank you very much in advance!
