Whatever you are considering, take a look at the siphon ( the outlet from the bowl to the connection). It should be a smooth "S" bend. Many cheap loos have a sharp right angle in there that invites a blockage. Think exhaust header vs cast iron manifold.

I replaced one of mine in a water closet about 6 months ago. I'm not interested in fancy toilets. To me a toilet is a toilet, so I went for the Aquasource AT1203 at Lowes for $100 on the Consumer Reports recommendation. It works very well, flushes well, seems to keep itself clean as far as complete flushes are concerned. It's a little higher to sit on compared to the other three I have.

Thanks guys. Will look at Toto and American Standard. I agree on Gerber.. That's what my current toilets are.

Those American Standard videos are awesome! 2 pounds of kitty litter... Yep, 25 golf balls... Yep. 3 pounds orange peels... Yep.
Maybe it's overkill but after three years of frustration with our old toilets these things are just what we need! $410 each at HD. Time to go shopping.

I was just about to start this very topic.
I hate my toilet. It can take up to four flushes to empty the bowl. Even just paper. Is does not develop a consistent swirling siphon. Sometimes if work fine though.Ii can't explain it. KT

I don't know about you folks, but in our house we don't use the toilet for flushing golf balls or orange peels. I think any real test of a toilet's flushing capacity has to involve one's mother-in-law, because flushing capacity depends on two crucial factors that only a mother-in-law can consistently provide... thickness and length of the sample, and excessive use of toilet paper.
Enough said.  __ |

I installed a HD Glacier Bay dual flush 2 yrs ago. Very happy with its performance.

After reading some threads on these forums and a couple of toilet review sites I bought and installed a Toto Drake model that has the Sanigloss coating. Amazon.com was the source. 1.6 gpf version. Replaced a 15 year old Kohler 1.6 gpf toilet. Very happy with this change... should have done it years ago.
