A modern bathroom isn’t complete without a modern Toto toilet. There are thousands of these toilets in the market today, presenting you with the headache of which model to choose over the rest. This article reviews for you the five best Toto toilets based on their cost, size, flush efficiency, user comfort, and tech application.

Before proceeding to the main article, it is worth noting that no product can reach 100% perfection. For the purposes of this article, a lot of emphasis is on their unique features and their most glaring shortcomings.

1. TOTO CST454CEFG#01 Drake II 2-Piece Toilet with Elongated Bowl and Sanagloss,1.28 GPF, Cotton White

With the seat in place, this toilet is about 19 inches from the ground and without it, the height drops to 16.5 inches. This ensures that there is a continuous blood flow through your legs whenever you use this toilet, your height notwithstanding. Its rough-in is approximately 12 inches in size while the tank is approximately 30 inches high from the floor. It has a Sana gloss finish meaning that the toilet bowl doesn’t attract a lot of deposits. That, therefore, means that the toilet is easy to clean with just a non-abrasive brush, a disinfectant, and literally any toilet cleaners at your disposal.

The tank lid curves inwards at an insignificantly small-angle thus making it a perfect surface to place items such as toilet paper. With a dual flush mechanism, this toilet will give you an unbelievably quick and quiet flush that takes everything with it in one go. The tank releases less than 1.5 gallons per flush thus saving water. There are lots of installation videos online so just about an hour or so is all you need to set up this toilet on your own.

Cons: The toilet doesn’t come with bolts, a wax seal, nor a seat.

2. TOTO MS604114CEFG#01 Ultramax II Het Double Cyclone Elongated One Piece Toilet with SanaGloss, Cotton White

Unlike other toilets of its kind, this toilet comes with a toilet seat that is slightly over an inch thick and whose SoftClose hinge system makes it super easy to use. Its bowl is elongated to make it highly clog-resistant, while its double Cyclone flushing technology ensures that the bowl is cleaned in a single flush. The modern tech flush mechanism also means that a single press (a couple of seconds) on the flush handle will get the job done- you don’t have to keep pressing on it continuously.

This toilet measures 27" deep x 17" wide and complies with ADA height regulations. Being cotton white, this toilet will most likely match with your bathroom colors including most bath tab brands. You will need to purchase two bolts that you will then use to screw the toilet to the floor. With the many instructional videos available on YouTube, this shouldn’t be much of a hustle. What’s more, the toilet sits well on the floor drain meaning that you will not need to install any outlet connectors.

Cons: You will need to order a wax toilet ring separately.

3. Toto CST474CEFGNo.01 Vespin II Two-Piece High-Efficiency Toilet, with SanaGloss, 1.28-GPF, Cotton

This toilet’s rim is 17 3/4 inches high while the tank is 30 inches from the floor. It comes with a 12-inch rough-in but you can always substitute it with a 10” or a 14’ rough-in if need be. The flushing mechanism employs the tornado flushing technology which releases about 1.28 GPF of water at a pressure of 8psi per flush. That’s powerful enough to carry bacteria and clogging debris with it down the waste line.

If you need to replace any part be it the flush handle, seat, tank lid, etc., the accessories aren’t the hardest to find. Its bowl is 28.5 inches long, complementing the rounded tank that is designed to give the user a comfortable sitting posture. Due to its Sana gloss finish, you can wash this toilet with any mild washing detergent out there and a soft brush. As for the installation process, you will need about an hour to two to have everything in place. The packaging is amazing and, if you have any questions or complaints after purchase, the customer service is awesome.

Cons: This item doesn’t include a close lid nor the seat.

4. Toto MS992CUMFG#01 Neorest 1.0 GPF and 0.8 GPF 700H Dual Flush Toilet, Cotton White

The unique features in this toilet include an automatic cyclone siphon flushing mechanism and a beautiful skirted design. The lid is fitted with a highly sensitive infra-red sensor that detects your movements the moment you enters the bathroom and automatically flips the lid open, then closes once your business is done. Besides that, it has a heating and cooling mechanism that adjusts the seat’s temperature with changes in the room temperature. With the lid closed, this toilet is about 18 inches high from the floor.

This toilet takes luxury to another level with its inbuilt heater that automatically heats cold water from the inlet; you will not need a hot water inlet anymore once you install the toilet. It also comes with a remote for more comfortable use. With a 700H owner’s manual, you will find the installation process extremely easy and thereafter, whenever you need assistance on its usage, the manual will come in handy. When a power outage hits your home or when the sensor and/or remote misbehaves, the toilet has a manual flush button as a substitute.

Cons: It’s expensive but with all its luxury, this can be overlooked.

5. TOTO CT418F#01 Aquia Wall-Hung Dual-Flush Toilet Bowl, Cotton White

Weighing at only about 700 pounds, this toilet is one of the easiest toilets to install. The toilet hangs nicely on the bathroom wall and, when the need arises, you can use it as a portable toilet for your kid to use around the house. It has a second-level flush system that sufficiently cleans the bowl, leaving you with only a little scrubbing to do. You can clean this toilet using any of the common cleaning detergents.

The tank is wall mounted and fills up quicker than most TOTO tanks and gives you an admirable water economy too. Another special feature of this product is its quiet flushing. Although it doesn’t come with a seat, it is compatible to nearly all elongated toilet seats sold at your local store. The seat measures 21” by 14” and has a customizable height; it is for you to ensure that your installation complies with the ADA height specifications. 19 inches maximum.

Cons:

· The bowl doesn’t feature a SanaGloss finish.

· Works best with an in-wall toilet tank system, which you will have to order separately.

Conclusion:

Toto is a globally recognized brand in regards to the manufacturing of bathroom products. Its innovativeness and unique technology sense makes its products postmodern, high quality, and all-around amazing. From its standard toilets to high-tech toilets, you are assured of zero disappointments upon purchase.

That said, it is imperative that whenever you set out to purchase a Toto toilet, first take note of the features that define your tastes and preferences to avoid unnecessary confusion.
