I haven't gone toilet shopping, but I stayed in a hotel once that had the small lo-flo setup, but it had a pressurized tank in the back. It literally shot the water into the bowl. For a 1.2ish gallon setup, it blew away anything else I've seen.

It did scare the living crap outta me the first time I used it...

dunno if something like that is commonly available.

I bought my home from an owner who owned a HVAC/plumbing contracting company so all mechanical systems in my home are top shelf. Our master has a Sloan flushmate system (Flushmate). When you look into the tank it has what appears to be a CIS airbox in there complete with pop off valve. And probably a WUR and what ever other black magic makes the system work.

I will say this...it is efficient. I'm afraid to sit on the crapper and flush lest I never be heard from again. We're careful to keep small pets 25 meters away when we hit the go button. Sounds like a jet after burner being ignited when you flush.

That is like what I saw. Seriously, if you get that, you need to put a sign up for guests!

We upgraded our bathrooms to the uncloggable toilets. They are wonderful. The cheap builder toilets that were in the house when we moved in were horrible. We get the "comfort" height version.

My 18 year old son clogged our Toto once. No paper. Don't know how he did it. He's proud of it. Pretty sure it's on his resume.

hey vash, you plan on dropping some biggies? Turd of the year? Hope everything comes out in the end, don't forget the paper work.

This site is great, the comfort version just cracks me up, I didn't even know they had stuff like that, I gotta get out more, I'm spending to much time with the cars and it looks like life is passing me by.

I'd get the jet engine one, now that sounds cool, is it better than the ones on the plane?

In my other house we had one made by Borg/Warner, no joke. That thing was unbelievable. in the 8 years of trying, it never stopped up, and I had tried. Even a 3 loop snake was no match for it.

I build my own. Goosenecks with separate flushbox. Have 2 of them. You can find the china in good shape for about $50. The internals, feed line, bung and gooseneck can run about $150 if you get good brass and chrome. $20 for a decent seat. The biggest expense is water at about 7 gallons per flush.

It's not hard to build an awesome and beautiful toilet - if you can find good china.

I am going to submit American Standard for last place.
There is little in this world that I dislike more than toilets which require you to hold the lever down while they flush, until the water is flushed and hopefully the turds are gone.

I would submit Kohler for the #2 position (no pun intended).

the best flushing toilets are the illegal ones that actually flush everything down. i still have one in my upstairs bathroom and they will take it from my cold, dead hands.

Porsche Crest Caroma...

Half (pipi) and Full Flush (caca)...

4" hole at the bottom. If you block this toilet, water on the floor should not be your main problem as in dial 911

It's from Down Under but still flush "clockwise"...
