Elongated. We got a round and an elongated and while I don't really care my DH likes the elongated. We got the round in the one bathroom as it gave us a couple more inches of space.

I'm looking for space too

Elongated--it is a guy thing. Women don't notice but all the men--comment.

I prefer elongated.

Round - takes up less space.

Round

Always had round and never wished for long - DH has never mentioned wanting one. I also prefer not to take up extra space with an oversized toilet.

elongated. well i personally don't care that much

we put two elongated and one round-let'em choose lol

I am a woman and I definitely notice and vote elongated 100%.I absolutely hate round. I just replaced every toilet in the house for elongated taller ADA toilets. I have a bunch of perfectly good round ones to give away. I hate when I visit a place that had a round toilet. My husband had no preference.

The I like the ada height first and then the shape. We have one of each but I think I will end up replacing the elongated only due to space

Round for me.

Elongated. For two reasons: (1) it is more sanitary. To be blunt, when sitting down, men's "parts" don't touch the front with the elongated, which is why you only see elongated in public bathrooms. (2) although the round shape gives the illusion of taking up less space, it's mostly an illusion. You should compare the specs that can be found online. You will see that the elongated bowl is 1-2" longer, while the round shape will be an inch or so wider. And, depending on the brand, some elongated bowls are only 1/2"-1" longer. Typically people want to save space width-wise for a toilet, cause length-wise you still need room for a person's legs regardless. So saved space with the round shape will be minimal.

Elongated, unless there just isn't enough clearance in front to pass inspection.

I like the comfort height of my elongated toilet, and the males like the shape of it. I also like that it uses less water to flush. I also have an old round toilet. The shape makes no difference to me, but I miss the height and compared to the newer toilet, it takes forever to refill the tank.

I don't think there's much difference in newer toilets in the amount of water needed to flush depending on the shape. There's much more difference between any new toilet and any old one. My cadet toilets here are round front and five or six years old, but they flush very efficiently compared to older toilets. I'm sure a brand new toilet would be even more efficient.

Elongated. And what freidajune said.

We took a road trip in late summer for a couple of weeks and stayed in several different lodgings. One was an older renovated property and DH hated the toilet. We noted the brand (it was Gerber) in the reno'd bathroom and it was round.

Elongated - much more ergonomic for me.

I'm replacing 2 of my toilets and getting the elongated comfort height. I did read that the round ones are more comfortable for toddlers and young children if that's a consideration for you.

Comfort Height elongated.

Check the specs from the wall and you'll notice MOST elongated steal away less than 1".

Men need elongated unless there are space constraints such as a small half bath.

I wish I could fit taller elongated toilets in all my baths. I now have two and my powder room, built before codes , can not fit one and now I find myself venturing upstairs whenever I need a wee. Well my legs will stay fit at least.

The other thing to consider is a higher bowl. With a standard height toilet some men may run the risk of their wibbles touching the water and who wants that?!

Elongated, unless you are small, it is for a kids' bathroom or space is very limited. We had round in the boys' bathroom in our last house and even replaced that one. Another woman who hates round here. My boys and DH agree.

We have both ... and I prefer the elongated.

The only reason I have a round one is that the plumber noticed that there was NO ROOM for an elongated one unless we sat sideways.

I have and prefer round (non ADA) in my bathroom. My husband has and prefers elongated ADA height in his bathroom. I think every home should have at least one ADA height toilet
