So it was time to replace one of toilets in house and I have been doing research for the past 2 weeks. General consensus is that Toto toilets are the best flushing ones around. Been waiting for a deal and looks like this is the best one so far. I know people will think ~$300 for a toilet is crazy, but if you want that poop or dead hamster to be sent away at the first flush all the time, this is the brand to get. Ask any plumber and contractor..

Did a lot of research on toilets here before doing my bathroom three months ago. The Drake is awesome. I still smile when I see that fantastic flush action. It is that good. You will feel pity when you visit other people's houses and see their pathetic bowls. Also, the unpublished, but well known "half-flush" feature is true- and you'll very rarely need more than half.
The poster above me points out a price that does appear cheaper, but don't forget that at that site (and some others) the bowl, tank, and seat are each sold separately. Also shipping is not a trivial cost with these bowls, and must be factored in. That being said- stop being a cheapskate and go out and get this toilet (I got the Sanigloss model). The price premium is absolutely trivial compared to the performance.

You should get the Toto S400.

http://www.totousa.com/washlet_features.asp

The new S400 offers the following features:

* Auto Flush Activated by Sensors or the Simple Touch of a Button
* Automatic Open / Close Lid Activated by Sensors, or the Simple Touch of
a Button on the Remote Control
* Gentle Aerated Warm Water
* Front and Rear Washing
* Massage Feature
* Warm Air Drying with Variable Three-Temperature Setting
* Automatic Air Purifier
* Heated Seat with Temperature Control
* Convenient Wireless Remote Control with Large LCD Panel
* Docking Station for Easy Cleaning & Installation
* Cleaner, Sleeker Look
* Reinforced Base Plate for Enhanced Durability

If you check different sites you will find it cheaper. Use it to convince the Plumber that you can get it cheaper online then he can sell it to you. Use your Brain, the USA was built on the barter system. Just an "Old Fart Plumber". John

PS: Sani-Gloss is my cost $53.214 MORE, But Worth the price if you intend to keep the home.

ADA, Is American Disabities Act, Requiring a bowl be at least 16 3/4" in height

Tyrant504 said:jeez thats it? seems like a big difference in price for just that. But i checked the specs and your right the non ADA is shorter.

thx john and mac.

I also wanted to ask about the ADA because the sanagloss finish drake only comes in non ADA version that I saw anyway.

here is the one im looking at, white elongated sanagloss but non ADA.

The height of the non-ADA is usually around 14 5/8" and the ADA adds a couple of inches to 16 1/2". If you have elderly folks, it will make it a lot easier for them to get up with the ADA version. I bought it for this reason and I personally like to sit on a high throne. I read some review somewhere that someone bought the ADA and it was a bit uncomfortable for their spouse who was 5'3" tall.

I deeply regret not putting Toto units in my new house. Two plumbers told me about them and I did extensive research that backed up their performance claim. Two years later and I'm still double flushing on a daily basis and have a plunger handy in all bathrooms for the Home Depot Kohler ADA units I opted for ( I was on a budget). The ADA height elongated bowl is nice however and guests comment on them all the time.

I got two of the Toto's with Sanagloss a few years back and they are amazing.
They practically never get clogged.

I special-ordered from Home Depot and they price matched a local plumbing distributor that had them real cheap.

Go for it, you'll be glad you did.

Oh and the contour of the soft close seat gets some getting used to at first, but you'll appreciate it after awhile... No more numb butt syndrome....
