TOTO Toilet.
I have had 5 TOTO Toilets and have not had any issues with what they flush.
I HAVE had issues with the construction and how they flush.
1 - TOTO’s inside tank flush mechanism is a round piston that goes down into a cylinder. The mechanism hangs up and does not seal at times. It does not matter how old your TOTO is – this can happen at any time. I have added a large lead EGG shaped fishing weight to the top of the piston to help assure it goes down. This has worked very well but not perfect.
The inside tank flush mechanism is not the old “flapper” style. I do not know if the other brands current models use the old rubber stopper/flapper(inexpensive to repair) or not. I am only familiar with TOTO.
2 - The flush handle on the outside that is connected to the inside tank lift rod is an issue. They did not build the tank top to accommodate a proper swing of the interior lift arm.
A hard push of the handle can result in the handle being stuck in the down position. This lets the water run until the handle position is corrected. As the homeowner I know how to flush so this does not happen, but the grand kids don’t, and the handle constantly hangs up after they flush. The flush mechanism should be kid proof.
3 - The bowl Interior surface or glaze lets debris stick to it unlike any other brand I have ever seen.

What about mentioning the Flush power MAP rating specifications of the flush, along with the gallons of water utilized. This is very important as for the power of the flush. Flush Performance Rating is very important. I purchased a Tuscany oval toilet from Menards for around $100.00. It does a great job.

Why do none of these toilet reviews show the mechanism inside the tank?

[davejohn]

The Drake is at $267 on Amazon currently.

i like elongated bowl but the higher toilets not good for posture.

[keithb]

I have to one that is supposed to flush golf balls and brand new and already having problems.

[davidcloyd]

Dude, high marks for lack of water use? Do you know what toilets are supposed to do?

[nathanielcarreon]

I tried a lot of brands including the air powered ones and Glacier bay is the best for me.

[pinkfreud]

I have a 17 yr old Glacier Bay. Nowadays it has a pretty weak flush & takes awhile to fill back up.

I would have wanted a close up view of the very first Kohler. I think you should take a look at the American Standard Vormax. Best tornado washdown and flush.

[khokanshib]

does it have a high good flushing rate?

[sgpjyvb]

What keeps the top and bottom green parts together? My bottom drops.

[loripalmer]

so, i have a possibly tmi question. I really want one of the tornado style or Revolution 360, but, i worry that with the water rotating so high with no large rim, that flushing while still on the potty might pose a problem. Has this been a problem for anyone? I'd rather not get wet while i'm trying to courtesy flush.

Shouldn’t you finish with your #2 toilet?

[jdw]

You realize each manufacturer makes a few models right? Some good or bad. Maybe mention which model you are talking about at the time Useless video. Sorry.

I dont like toilet that is too high, is there standard hight of this?

[lesliemills]

Disagree on Kohler. I have two Kohler toilets and I can guarantee that over a few years that flushing mechanism is going to lock up and get stuck causing the toilet to keep flushing. The american standard I have has not done this but both Kohler's and another Kohler I have in a com'l building have this problem. Stay away from Kohler

[baileysc]

This seems like a shill for Toto. Don’t mention models of non-Toto, only in description. But multiple links for Toto products. No demonstration of the “#1” Toto is sus.

[jd]

Totally agree. Kohler is the way to go. American Standard is garbage unless it’s from the 1950’s or 60’s. Absolutely the true facts!

[carlcaesar]

Do not buy American Standard. Lasted 2 years. Keep flushing on its own . When I did check out some reviews a lot of people had the same complaint.
