Toilet recommendations?

5 years ago

Good morning. We are renovating 2 bathrooms. We plan to replace the toilets in each. Not knowing too much about toilets, are there any good recommendations? I'm looking at 1 pieces. I saw a few Swiss Madison toilets on wayfair, but again, don't know too much about them. Any recommendations?

I would go to a plumbing supply house and stay off Wayfair for something that will be part of your house for some time. I like Kohler, American Standard and Toto.

I like my American Standard comfort height with the concealed trapways. Much easier for cleaning.

For sure get the comfort height and slow close lid.

My vote is for Toto. Elongated bowl, slow close lid and also enclosed trap (disguise the ugly of the toilet). Here is a good choice

Slow close lid, higher height, and a rimless toilet. Much easier to clean.

American Standard Champion 4215A - it's used in a cabin with a LOT of people. Swear it never needs cleaning.

Thanks!

any quick question, Is it ok to use a 12” rough in toilet in a 14” location? My options seem pretty limited. The toiled I plan to use is a Kohler Santa Rosa. Thanks!
