Tell me why the Toto toilet is so superior
Comments (8)I was going to keep my old toilet in my remodel since there is nothing wrong with it and it does work. I posted here about it and no one could say anything compelling as to why I should lay out any $ I didn't need to. Then I asked the plumber. Bear in mind, he is paid the same to replace a toilet, the old one, the new one, makes no difference to him. He immediately informed me that my old toilet is the cheapest American Standard you can buy (I didn't build the house) and asked how many time I have to flush it or how often it clogs. Well, I don't keep a plunger next to it for nothin'. According to him, the Toto Drake is THE throne, powerful. efficient and is a little taller than my 10 year old toilet, which he insists will make a big difference in terms of comfort. He can get it for me with a soft close seat (no more seat slamming to wake me up!) for less than I found it for online, too. So I capitulated and I am actually a little excited about it. (It doesn't take much!) If you are still skeptical, google "Toto Drake" and look for reviews on the various message boards. That did it for me. Apparently this is THE place to shop online, if you are interested: Here is a link that might be useful: Toto toilets...See MoreKohler Memoirs toilet is awful -- replacement?
Comments (5)I've had a Toto Drake (comfort height, not sanagloss) for about 2 years now in our Master Bath. We are happy with it. No residue and it does a quick thorough flush. Strangely enough despite 24 years of NEVER stopping up the old purple brown Kohler master toilet in this house, about 1 month after the new Toto was installed, we had a clog that required the plunger. I was NOT happy. But it was a one time occurence and we've never had it happen again. I'm wondering it there was some wax ring or something from the old toilet that caused the clog....See MoreQuestion about Toto and Jacuzzi toilet
Comments (20)sandsonik, I'm here to your rescue.....sorta, I hope. I have both the Jacuzzi Perfecta and Era, and I also have a ToTo Drake with the washlet. I bought the Jacuzzi toilets almost two years ago to replace toilets in our lake home that were original from 1952. Anything would be an improvement on those. HA! I bought the Jacuzzis simply because I liked their look and hubby wanted me to find toilets fast so that meant Lowe's. Now granted, they have not had a ton of use because we are still remodeling our lake home. We have not put them through the typical everyday #2 use if you know what I mean. But, I do like them and have had no real problems thus far with minimal use. The only thing I will say is that the Perfecta has a VERY LOUD flush/fill in my opinion. I do not like that. Maybe the Era does too, but I really notice it with the Perfecta. As far as the ToTo Drake, it has been great but it is a totally different look and feel as to what I wanted in my "old" lake home. It flushes great and is quieter but not at all the style I wanted in my lake cottage...nor the price I wanted either. That's all I can think of to say right now...let me know if I can answer any specific questions. pup...See MoreMy Toto toilet hums and it's driving me nuts.
Comments (9)water fill noise can make a reverberating sound, but that usually occurs during the flush/fill cycle. If it's continuing after the water flow has stopped, it may be the fan. There's usually a way to turn the fan off through the setting menu. Most practical way would be to turn the features off one at a time. Fan, seat heater, water heater, etc. That may help isolate. Some washlets have an over-sensitive sensor. As soon as the door is open, it starts a heating/fan cycle, etc. I know a few folk who have disabled or reduced it's sensitivity with tape....See Morezeebee
