hard hitting question!! round or elongated toilet?
 
i ordered two..elongated.

i think mine only come that way. about 1.5" longer, where it counts for men. (add jokes here - GO!)

what's in your home?

I have round, will replace it with elongated.

If I had room, I would get the taller and elongated ones for adult use. I replaced an elongated one once wit a slightly smaller round one that was a water-saver...and regretted it immediately.

Elongated. And we went with the comfort height. I was super happy with that choice when I had my hip replacement or I am sore after a long day of yard work.

I have found with things like toilets you need to take them for a full test drive before committing.

Add a "squatty potty" too! :D

I hate round toilets.

Or just lean forward for the same effect. I have no issues with sitting in a comfortable position.

Cliff, for a couple hundred bucks more per seat you should go in-wall. Get yourself a Geberit tankless system, they have ones that mount in either 2x4 or 2x6 stud walls, and a Duravit bowl like the Starck 3. This saves about a foot of room in the bathroom and looks cool besides.

The cantilevered bowl can support 880 pounds. You can even get the bidet lid although it's pricey, like $1500.

You would need to run new plumbing off the soil stack as there's no longer a hole in the floor or a wax seal. Not a huge deal if you are remodeling.

Definitely check it out and I'll think you'll find that the price differential is not that much.

^^ thats on the table when we remodel.

but that is behind the kitchen remodel..bare minimum. it's a ways off.

Elongated... no question!!! and geez, it is hard to find a low one now a days. The comfort/taller ones are SO uncomfortable.. No pressure in the right places. Nothing comes out unless I use a step stool thingy.. !

unless you're a pygmy or hobbit, I think the only good answer is oval/elongated/extended.

The folks at home depot frown on that, and it can be difficult when they are mounted 6' up on an angle with a shelf over them.

Clearly, this lady has a much more forgiving HD.

I think you're correct sir. Lack of Orange, and Lowes does their displays like that.

Unless you are 6'4", get the regular height. Elongated is a little more comfortable, but more then anything else, you have a couple more inches of clearance for accidental drips

Noah930 02-23-2018 08:17 AM

Unless space is an issue (such as in our powder room), oval is the way to go.

wdfifteen 02-23-2018 08:30 AM

We just moved into a house with three elongated and two round. The round ones are getting replaced, they are awful.
