I have a toto supreme, it works great for us, it is easier to clean. I'm remodeling another bathroom, will get a Toto Ultramax II Elongated 1 Piece Toilet with SanaGloss MS604114CEFG#01 Cotton White, so we can try out the Double Cyclone Flushing System. I am buying from a local dealer (in SF bayarea).

We have the Soiree (3 of them in fact). We got ours at Hardware Design in Fairfield NJ.

I've got three Toto Ultramax toilets and I like the fact that it's all one-piece. Had them for 5 years...never clogged. I bought them locally through my plumber who sells them as cheaply as I can get them online.

sprtphnte: when i searched the forum, its seems that most have the two piece and was wondering "why"

1. Prior to installation, the weight and dimensions of a one-piece toilet make it more difficult to maneuver through the narrow doors that are found in many bathrooms.

2. Generally (though not universally), two-piece toilets are taller, and therefore gravity acting on the flush water gives a bit more of an assist with most two-piece toilets than with many one-piece toilets.

I have the Toto Carlyle II w/SanaGloss and love it.

thank you all for your quick responses!! much appreciated :)

herring maven, thanks so much for your answer, makes sense now. DH does all the work, so never thought to make it easy on him...haha

thanks again!!

We have 2 2-piece and 2 1-piece Toto toilets in our home. While all 4 are great performers, my fave is the new Ames with cyclonic rinse and Sanagloss. One of the 4 is a 2-piece without Sanagloss and it is the only one that requires weekly cleaning. So whatever you pick go with Sanagloss. I found the 1 piece toilets just as easy to install and took less time. They are heavier, but very easy to work with. Check managers specials at Homeclick.com weekly as they have some amazing specials if you catch them at the right time.

thanks for the great info, will be sure to order toilet with sanagloss and will check out homeclick for the specials.

thanks so much!!

Yes, a one piece is spec'd as a two man install job where a two piece is a one man job. It's pretty darn hard to wrestle into place and then set perfectly all in one motion on top of the wax ring with no wiggling around and ruining the wax ring. Those tiny toilet cubicles that are so popular make it even harder.

I actually installed the Toto Eco Supreme all by my little self, although my son carried it upstairs for me. Not THAT heavy.

There is one problem with it though, the flapper doesn't seat right, and the toilet runs. I shift it and it seals and then it shifts back and runs again. Grrr.

It cleans and flushes well. Sometimes a second flush is necessary to remove traces although the first always clears the bulk waste.

We've had 2 Toto Ultramax toilets for 4 years. No problems!
Our plumber carried in and installed both of them without any assistance. Course he's a strong 30 year old :) One Toto is a round bowl, the other is elongated. The elongated is harder to keep clean. Don't know if it's the person using it or the design :o

monicakm: we are planning on a round front so thats good to know.
thanks for the info everyone!!
