You may want to check out Consumer Reports --- they seem to have reviews every 15 - 18 months.

You may want to do a search in this forum. This question seems to get asked at least once a month and there are hundreds of individual posts on this subject.

Thank you!

I really like my older model (2011) of the American Standard Champion 2004.314.021: tall, one piece, flushes well and reliable (I have two). Might be a bit high for small children. Link to toilet site I purchase from.

I like it a lot better than the Kohler K-3810-0 I had to order for my powder room because I couldn't use an elongated due to space - flushing isn't always reliable on first try.

You might want to take a look at this site in the plumbing forum. https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php  There is lots of discussion, and I think one of the links has the technical data on various toilets (there is an industry test/rating for how well toilets work with flushing solids),

I am in the process of remodeling and am installing a Toto Carolina. I wanted a skirted style because the smooth lines are simpler to clean.

Not scientific, but my friend has quite a few bathrooms in her house and she had some with Kohler and some with Toto. She said that Toto toilets were far superior to the Kohler toilets and replaced the Kohler toilets fairly recently with Toto toilets.

Thank you so much Helen! That helps me a great deal.

I bought a Toto toilet because reviews are good. I'm not sure which model it is, and I doubt that they are all the same, but may I recommend that you look in the bowl. Mine has curves or ridges that make cleaning it a bit of a chore.

I discovered Toto toilets in 2007 when I moved into a new hotel that had them. We were starting a remodel so I went to a local plumbing supply and ordered one. It seemed to take forever to come in, and during that time, the plumbing supply got a shipment of the brand new American Standard Cadet 3 toilets. It seemed to have all the same design elements and some of the same internal parts as the Toto. The day I went to pick up the Toto I changed my mind and went with the Cadet 3. In the past 10 years we have changed homes and remodeled rentals and have bought seven more Cadet 3s. Here's what I like about them: they cost about 1/3 what the equivalent Toto costs; the plumber only charges half rate to install because they install so easily and fast; the porcelain glaze has silver in it to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria; they flush quietly; they refill quietly; they flush completely in 2 seconds without any of that swirly motion that leaves you wondering if it will ever flush; they never clog - at least the seven that I've had in the past 11 years have never clogged; and again, the porcelain glaze has silver in it to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. This last one is just amazing so I repeated it. Nothing grows directly on the glaze. Now I have seen calcium deposits form at the water line, and you can have microbial issues on the deposits, so just keep that stuff off, and the toilet will look clean for weeks.

The Canadians have an annual report on toilets covering every model of every brand sold in Canada. While Toto is not at the bottom of the list, just about every manufacturer has a toilet that out performs the best Toto.

I changed out the 4 annoying toilets in my house over time to Totos and now have had zero clogs in 10 or so years (wellm except for the time some guest tried to flush a popsicle stick and it got stuck sideways in the trap...but I don;t think that should count).

Thank you all. I truly appreciate your time and input.

What did you end up going with?
