What is the best toilet brand?

TOTO. The best.

Charmin ultra soft. Good for even tender…... Well, you know….

not toilet paper toilets in general….and i use charmin it’s my favorite

I’ve had the same two American Standard toilets for the last 28 years, with no problems. I’ve replaced the tank assembly inside once on each toilet. The heights vary, so figure out what you’re most comfortable on, and shop according to that.

@ alfreda do you mean those ones that make a loud noise and take forever to swirl and finally go down the drain? I’m not a fan of those if that is what you mean.

Hmmm, not sure if mine do that; I usually don’t pay attention to that sort of thing. But now that we’ve established that’s important to you, it’s helpful information in narrowing recommendations. What other yet-unspoken criteria do you have? It would be nice to know that upfront, so we don’t offer well-meaning suggestions that will be criticized.

sorry….it isn’t me it’s my dad…14 year olds dont search for toilet…didn’t mean to be mean.

Maybe he could go on a house-to-house scavenger hunt, trying out the neighbor’s commodes? Wouldn’t that be a funny video? Showing up at the neighbor’s with a role of Charmin in hand, and asking, “mind if I use your loo? I’m researching the pros and cons of porcelain…”

I’m not sure of the brand name of this one but it looks cool. Might not be too good for the fish though when you flush!

no weak toilets and anti-clog/overflow

Here’s recommendations from a plumber

Interesting reading.

interesting! some of theme are overpriced- $4000 for a toilet! some are good prices though…my parents bargain too much but I think it will be OK

I can’t imagine spending that much on a toilet.

Andrew is quite correct, Toto manufacture the highest quality toilets. When I was in Japan a few years ago I had the pleasure of using one of them. It had so many buttons on the side, yes buttons, for things like a jet of water (more buttons let you control the temperature of that water) or a cool breeze on your bum. One button even made water flushing sounds in case one was shy of making their own bathroom noises. Deluxe indeed. Toto created a Western-targeted toilet apparatus called the Washlet that rings in at about $1000.

@ dynamicudo—i can tell toto is popular
sorry i can’t promise i will buy the washlet, but I SO wish i could’ve used one of those japanese toilets.

TOTO!!
I have way too much enthusiasm for toilets.

yay toilets

Toto! Toto!! Toto!!!

By the time we redid our bathrooms, Clinton had issued the whole low flow proclaimation.

It was either smuggle something in from Canada (which seemed ridiculous), buy one used (ewwwww) or go w/ the recommended Toto. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Just plain ol’ white toilets. But they work reliably. I don’t remember them being way too expensive. ($400 or so…?)

Porcelain, the holiday gift that keeps on giving…

Just replaced all 3 in house with Toto.They are great! Way less trouble with those then older higher H20 volume jobs.

@Snoopy: You can get TOTO toilets without a washlet for a wide variety of prices. I’m looking at a brochure right here.

I watched the video on the washlet. Frankly, it looks a little scary.

I would like the “soft” close seat. I listen to the the “thwap” of the seat dropping all day long from other house members.

@snoopy: Yes, but it feels… it feels so good.

@andrew You have test driven one of those things?!? It looks like an alien probe!

although the warm seat would be nice

The flash video site for the washlet is…creepy.

I so needed this question answered! I have a horrible bathroom to remodel. Toto it is!

Ferguson.

BOWWW-WUSH!

The Toto Washlet You gotta see this!

(thanks to Judi for sending me to this site a few weeks ago)

Ok, those video clips are hilarious. But, now I really want one!

/me already sold mine. Nyah nyah nyah!

Why did you sell it? Not all it’s cracked up to be? heehee…crack.

[Does a soon-to-be-gettin’-me-own-Toto dance.]

@augustlan Nope. I’m upgrading!

sorry im not buying the washlet, too expensive. plus, it’s kind of disturbing when i’m trying to do business.

BOOW WOSH!!!

?

Yup, go…(pardon the pun) TOTO

We still haven’t bought a toilet :S. Anyone else agree that toilets are a stupid invention (but still kinda cool)?

@90s I think you’ve learned enough about toilets from this post to qualify as an expert. teeheehee

Yeah, everything about TOTO. ;) My dad really doesn’t want an expensive toilet.

Stupid invention?! Sure beats digging a hole in your backyard.
