I installed the Guinevere with a 14" unifit adapter about a month ago. I purchased it, with some trepidation, after having trolled through all of the internet forums/reviews that I could find. The toilet we were replacing was a very old two piece toilet, with an enormous wall mounted tank, conncted to the bowl by a chrome pipe. My old toilet flushed beautifully, but probably used 6-7 gallons per flush. I fully expected to be disappointed with even the best of modern toilets. To my surprise, I am delighted with the Guinevere. We have never had to double flush, nor have we had to use a brush to clean the bowl after use. The Guinevere can acually be used as a dual flush. Do a standard flush for liquids, and hold the lever up longer for solids. Works like a charm. Installation was a pain. The base is so wide that we had to move our water line. And yes, it does make trickling noises during use; but who cares. It works great and uses very little water.

Thanks astridh. I appreciate the feedback. I'm looking for something not-so-modern looking, along the lines of the Kohler Memoirs. I looked into Caroma and I see they have a model called the Colonial. This is the closest thing I've seen to what I'm looking for...thanks for pointing me to Caroma :) If anyone knows of any other 'traditional style' high efficiency toilets, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

If you have a large household (and thus, many flushes per day), or if you live some place where conserving water is a major priority because of drought conditions or because water or sewage rates (based on water usage) are a major concern, then it makes sense to go with the most water conserving appliances that you can find. Otherwise choose a standard 1.6 gallon flush toilet, or if you want to be eco-minded, a dual-flush toilet. Otherwise, the premium you'll pay for the lower volume flush units probably doesn't make sense. Is one better than the other? I don't know. Off-hand, I'd say that a toilet using less water would be the better choice, but the 1.6 gallon units now have a reputation for working well. The reputation of the 1.28 gallon units is less well-proven. If you're very much inclined toward saving resources, it might make sense to go with a dual-flush unit. That way, you can be the judge and decide which works best on a flush-by-flush basis.

We bought a Toto Legato for our master bathroom last year and we aren't that impressed with the sanagloss finish. More "stuff" sticks to the sanagloss than it ever did with our "old" 1.6g American Standard toilet.
