what is the best toilet?

We have a small bathroom near our kitchen. We need a 10 inch rough in toilet in a remodel. Need advice on the best toilet to buy.

There are some lists of top toilets if you Google it. Many times you will see Toto brands at or near the top. Some models are always up there

I would recommend Kay Bojesen's wooden figures. They are really nice, decorative and unique!

Comparison Charts are best to use when you are looking for something specific, say in case you need to buy something, this chart will help you look at their advantages, disadvantages, prices, reviews, features, etc. Thus, making it easier to choose between them easily.

help picking a sofa
Q
Kommentarer (2)
Super nice place with lots of options! Since it’s meant to be a sofa for watching movies in, the only right option (in my opinion) would be something that allows for laying down (or at least allow you to put your feet up). I would look for extra deep couches, something with a chaiselong or matching foodrest. I don’t have any specific sofa’s in mind, but a search on google on “flydersofa” or “dyb sofa” might help you out :) I also think some color would suit the space well :) - maybe a colored sofa, or at least some colored pillows in a more “neutral” sofa. The space already have a lot of beautiful neutrals, so a colored sofa would really stand out (in a good way) - but that is something that very much comes down to personal preference :)

red brick livingroom

Nice room! Iwould keep the red bricks, but tone down all other textures. That means replacing the wood ceiling with a clean, white seamless non-textured ceiling. +Replacing the floor tiles with either wood, concrete or epoxy (which would look amazing in this space) I would stain the loft beams a darker, richer wood color, and consider painting the window trims black - I think it would give more of a “New Yorker” loft vibe. If you absolutely hate the red bricks, you could paint them over (but keeping the texture underneath). Or plaster some of the walls and keep one or 2 as an accent wall. In any case - amazing space. Hope you do something awesome with it :)

TOTO CST744SG#01 Drake is the top rated... Amazon has them if it helps. https://www.besttoiletguide.net

What is your timeline? Do you have a plumbing supply house near you to ask, not a big box store? They’re more likely to have them on hand. Or Amazon as already mentioned. You asked for the best, well most people and reviews will tell you Toto is at the top of their list. There are some good Kohlers and American Standards too depending on what qualities you consider most important?

i will tell you I have 2 Toto Drakes, and one Toto Entrada in my house. I have one more toilet to update and it will be another Toto. Two cons for my Totos, they are a bit loud with the gmax system, something to think about if the bathroom is near a bedroom. And, the lip in the Drakes tend to get and stay dirtier than the rest of the toilet which requires it to be cleaned more often. Neither of these issues are a big concern for me as the performance easily outweighs the cons.

One of the nice things about not buying from your local big-box store is that you can pick exactly what you need. For Toto toilets, I recommend springing for the extra money and getting the Sanagloss finish. Much easier to keep clean. Also, get the soft close lid.

I have in the past bought both from my local plumbing supply store and from internet dealers. Both of them can be fast. And sometimes one is faster, sometimes the other. Check both options. Amazon or Wayfair are frequently really competitive, but my local supply store regularly matches their price. So, check that too.

I really like the Toto Drake, but wasn't quite as impressed with the 1.28GPF model. It sometimes requires two flushes, whereas the 1.6GPF model always finishes the job in a single flush. In fact, it is pretty damn impressive how well it flushes. Great for households with kids.

Make up your mind on whether you want a round or an elongated toilet. I absolutely hate the former, but I have to admit that it is more space efficient, and some people don't seem to mind. Also, make up your mind on whether you want regular height or ADA height. There are pros and cons for either option.

+10 for the soft close lid. You can get others besides the Toto but I'll never own a toilet without a soft close lid again. You just have to remind yourself when you go elsewhere not to simply drop the seat when closing. They're loud :)

The Big Box store is probably not going to have a 10in rough in but if you go to one of your plumbing Distributors they'll have 10 inch rough ins in stock and be able to tell you the best ones.

http://www.map-testing.com/ - more than you could ever want to know about toilets and their performance.

We had Toto's 1.6L Drake in our previous home, thanks to the recommendation of the plumbing supply house where we picked out all our fixtures. It spoiled us for any other toilet.

When we built our current home 12 years ago, we again went with the 1.6L Drake, this time at comfort/ADA height. Like it even better.

Next home will also have "the Drake", as we call it. Comfort height again. 1.6L since we know it works so well. That will be 20 years with the same model toilet. The one downside with the ADA-height model is that it's not available in Sanigloss, but I haven't noticed the regular finish being very difficult to clean.

Google "Terry Love top toilets" and you'll get a pretty good list. I ordered a Drake II from Supply.com and it came quickly, was intact, and was decently priced.

I am getting the Toto Drake for the basement, but am springing for the Vespin II for the upstairs toilets, which is really just the Drake with the p-trap skirt. I am getting the Aquia for the powder room because it just looks a little bit prettier.

Watch the choice on the Aquia. Per the MaP testing, some models only flush 500 gm (where tested) compared to the Drake at 1000 gm. Vespin II is 500 or 800 gm depending on model as well. Check that MaP testing for your specific choices http://www.map-testing.com/assets/files/2018-02-02-All_tank-type_toilets.pdf

Another thumbs up for Toto Drake. Had a few different toilets before and they all clogged up frequently. The Drake rarely has that problem. The flapper/guts also last several years without needing any maintenance also.
