Toto Carlyle toilet Review

[Reader Review]

Toto MS874114SG Carlyle

Love it, love...the skirt is sleek and easy to clean, why didn't manufacturers think of this before. BUT, can't put them in the 2 upstairs bathrooms because it needs more room to be installed. Had to go with the UltraMax for them instead.
Be sure to check with your contractor about fitting in old houses.

The water supply on the Carlyle needs to be at least 7" to the left of center.
If it's closer than that, it can be moved with fittings.

The Ultramax can have the water supply as close as 3" to the left of center.

We bought the Carlyle because of the sleek looks and the Toto reputation. We like it very much but there were a few surprises. We didn’t have a clue how the Unifit works. Neither did our plumber! It took him 4 hours to install. We also had to move our water supply pipe over a few inches to accommodate the skirt which required tearing up the wall and soldering on a new valve. One annoying thing is that when you add water to the bowl and it begins to fill it starts draining down the back of the trap and makes a “tinkling” sound (which is what I try to avoid) while I am using it. Toto says it is because it is not level so the water drops off the back into the trap instead of sliding down it if it is level. I am sure they are right and will install the next one level.

We install the Carlyle for $179.00, the same as for any toilet. It takes us an extra 10 minutes, not three hours.

Have been using a Carlyle daily for almost 3 years. Only once has it required a plunger, then one push and it was unstopped. Other than that, I have never had to flush more than once. I highly recommend it.

I love my Toto! Of all the things we did in a remodel, this was the best. Ease of cleaning is a priority. M. Schneider Dec. 2004

Built a new house two years ago and
put in 4 Toto Carlyles. Didn’t have to
use a plunger once! Quiet, sleek looking
and efficient. Worth every penny!

Not to dis Bob's Plumber, but I (not a trained plumber) installed two TOTO Vespins, with the Unifit in about 4 hours (no moving of the supply needed). To me it was logical how the unifit worked and it was much easier than trying to set a standard toilet with a wax ring.

The only problem I had was the instructions said to drill a 13/64 pilot hole for the supplied hold down screws, but that was too large so I had to substitute some larger woodscrews. Other than that it was a quick easy installation. I probably spent about as much time unpacking the units as I did putting them in.

I replaced both a 3.5 gallon and a early model 1.6 gallon with the TOTO's and they both work far better than either of the old toilets. Ten days now with no Clogs. Of course we set a new record on the third day.

Carlyle ADA: have had for 1 yr after seeing your recommendations. It’s terrific flush—never a problem; no bowl stains, etc. Only complaint from wife: ADA ht is a bit uncomfortable for short legged people.

Have several carlyle's for several years, never a problem. However, we all don't fill them the same.

I recently renovated my house and put in a couple of Toto Carlyles. I love them! Excellent flush and no stains! I highly recommend Toto!
