Easy to install, ru-vid.comUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
I just had 2 Gerber comfort height toilets installed in my home . The Gerber was the recommendation by my plumber. It definitely is comfortable for height .. but with the Government requirement of using 1.6 gallons of water it will never flush as good as the original 1951 toilets that originally were in the house when it was built.
American Standard Champion 4 - my vote for the best. Priced right, well made, reliable, with a powerful flush. I'm 6'1 and 280 lbs. and this toilet has handled all situations I've thrown at it & NEVER clogged. Unless you're looking for bragging rights because you have a designer crapper you don't need to look any further. Just my opinion.
That's a quick fix though - for 5 bucks you can get a new (silicone) gasket from the manufacturer. No different than replacing the flapper on other toilets.
@@r.r.6205 I agree my gripe is I only had the toilet a year before it went out on me and I ended up fixing it but it’s started back to ghost flushing and I’m hoping I don’t have to replace the entire valve assembly.
@@dementedpitbull - well that sucks. When you replaced the gasket did you also replace the small (red) O-ring that sits just under the plastic nut? Not sure if that would cause ghost flushing or not. Have you seen this video before? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WZF9EfnIdGg.html jump to the 2:15 part of the video. Good luck.
@@r.r.6205 unfortunately I did not because I bought one that wasn’t a American standard replacement gasket, but I did order a two pack with the O-ring. Thanks for the luck and posting the video.
Not working very good after some use, flush becomes partial and not sufficient to clear bowl. Must consciously hold flush lever down to obtain full flush. Problem. Shortage of water, need to increase water level in tank by raising height of overflow piping.
Swiss Madison is the most difficult toilet installation out of your list. Except to pay additional for installation and water supply reconstruction most certainly.
I have several 1970s American Standard Cadet toilets which throw 3.5 gallons per flush and they work better than any of these water saver toilets, Toto included. Much better for the plumbing too. No comparison.
I succumbed to the intense hype Toto gets and bought the Drake dual flush model with the plan to buy two more soon afterwards. After having the Drake for a week, I will not be buying any more. Key complaint: the water spot is so small and low, that most of the bowl interior is dry. Solid waste clings to the dry areas and the flush doesn't clean it off. Time to get out the brush.
I don’t like the low water level in the bowl either. And it's hard to shop using that as a criteria because how do you know until you get it installed.
Used the Drake in a 2009 remodel and had the same issues you've outlined. Remodeled our new place last year and installed the Drake II in each the guest suite and the half bath and the Ultra Max in each the master bathroom and hall bath. The Drake II has an improved bowl shape and powerful flush. The Ultra Max has exceptional performance. I'm in California, so low water use of 1.28 gallons is essential due to water rationing.
You are right . Toto toilets are more hype than actual work . In spite of sani gloss coating the waste sticks to the bowl surface . Their Map score is average . American Standard has widest range to offer almost 500 plus models of various brands they own and with 90% percent or more have a a MAP score 1000 grams per flush . I converted my customers from TOTO to American Stanadard
Avsolutely cannot STAND all these toilets with a side profile in the shape of the sewer pipe!! Like, WHY? We love the Kohler Corbelle comfort height toilet with elongated soft-close seat. It has a smooth, easy to clean sidewall.
Any toilet with flat sides is going to be a bitch to replace if it breaks. They’re normally super heavy, and extremely hard to remove without certain tools. Kohler toilets are very susceptible to breaking.
Re: discussion of Toto Drake. There are multiple Drake models. Installed 3 model CST744, larger water surface area and very strong flush, but appears it’s no longer made. Remodeling my other home and had to buy CST776 Drake assuming it had at least as good performance, not even close to the CST744. Both models are 1.6gpm. I won’t buy Toto again either.
I have a Crane Galaxy from 2005. Ballcock & flapper style. 2.5 gallons per flush and never clogs. The older ones are better. You NEED water! Not that eco junk
i have a crane plumbing toilet from 98 that might not be the best toilet but it sure is easy to clean where i never have to clean it witch makes me nice
One with a wide enough base,so it doesn't move , tall enough ,you don't want to deep knee squat, big wide seats and length for those who are bigger down there
Who would you recommend if I wanted a Comfort Height Black Toilet? I've been trying for several months to get one, but everyone is out of stock, or the price is close to $1,000! That's too expensive for me. I'm disabled and on a fixed income! Could you also tell me the difference between a tall toilet and a Comfort Height toilet?🤨🤔🧐😊
Can someone recommend a good toilet that flushes very well that is on the shorter side than normal from the wall? Our bathroom is tiny, and builders forced too many things into it. Our door barely clears the toilet we have now, and that was with a plumber spending over an hour installing to find the sweet spot to not leak and clear the door. I don’t know the model, but it’s an American Standard from Lowe’s purchased 15 years ago. It was the cheapest one they had.
Sounds like you need a toilet to make up for the incompetence of the builder you hired. I'm sure there's a market for that but I doubt there is the magic toilet required.
If you buy a smaller toilet, I believe it's called the round toilet, it is too small and will leave shit stains everywhere. That is why you want the elongated.
I found a toilet out in the trash on trashday,,it was a old standard model from the 50s,,,after spending a day sandblasting the stuck on feces all over I put it to the test...that night I ate 3 bean burritos and for supper had 2 plates of lasagna and at least 5 st Pauli girls beer I had to go several times and used up a full roll of charmin , but it all went right down the drain! Tomorrow Im having a 4 egg omlette with waffles and a hunk of sharp cheese for breakfast, will report back
Actually, when installing a 2 piece toilet , you'll notice there is a neoprene (?) sponge gasket between the tank and the bowl . To stop the neoprene from drying out and disintegrating , consider coating it with vaseline . Do not use any automotive grease for this , as these types of greases can damage rubber . . .
Where you live - maybe so, but here in the States they are referred to as toilets. Just because it differs from your usage doesn't make it wrong. Don't be so quick to judge, as different regions have different meanings (spellings etc.) for words. Best wishes. 😉😉
We have a kohler toilet at home but at my work it’s American standard toilet. The difference? Ones at work have never been known to get stopped up. The guys at my work are on average 5 9. The design is apparently superior. But if you enjoy plunging toilets you’ll be sucking the joy out of your life
Whay is this video talking so much about toilets with materials or products from China? There are many other toilets made in America or other countries that are much better and have higher quality....
American Standard Cadet III 3" .7 gallon flush I prefer standard height and round front for my tiny bathroom. Not cheap but will flush a 1/4 bushel of golfballs (!!!) EVERYTIME! Uses plain-ol' Fluidmaster ballcock and an American Standard flapper you should be able to get 100 years from now, as I have purchased guts for a buddy's wooden tank (head high type) 130 year-old American Standard "Crapper" from a plumbing supply (under $35!) and re-built it in under an hour. Try that with a "contractor's special" $29.95 that takes 3 flushes to clear pee from the bowl! I've been a janitor/maintenance man for supermarket/service station/church in my life and Eljer and American Standard are THE plumbing brands. Kohler changes guts too often...
Only one toilet with dual flush at the top 5? It realy confims Americans being enviromental wastefull. Here in Germany you actually need to go to a museum to find a toilet not having dual flash... And of course Japaneese would lough about none of the "best" toilets have integreted bidet (automaticly washing your butt and for females also front parts...). Theese are practical retro toilets - welcome back in the stoneage.
NO ES AGRADABLE , PARA LOS HISPANOHABLANTES OIR LAS RECOMENDACIONES EN INGLES, ADEMÁS DE QUE HABLA DEMASIADO RÁPIDO, EN CONCLUSIÓN, NO SIRVE DE NADA LA SUPUESTA BUENA INFORMACIÓN
I request who all watches these videos not to get into craze of these toilets since disease follow us .Think over of your loving family who will get into trouble whole of thier life .Use only Indian toilets with flush which are totally safe .Never entertain these types of toilets when U all build new house . When we use western toilets Germs get in to body & bacteria keeps spreading .I hope every body understands let's avoid .
