TOTO CST744SL#01 Drake 2-Piece Ada Toilet with Elongated Bowl, Cotton White

We regularly had clogged toilets in the past. Our last clog we could not clear ourselves, so we paid a plumber $110 to clear it. I told my husband I wished we had put that money toward a new toilet. Consumer Reports rated this toilet highly, but it was pricey. My husband, an engineer, looked at the design online and thought it looked good and different from other toilet designs. The hole in it is larger also. We decided to give it a try. If it is a good toilet you get decades of use from it. It came very well packaged. No damage. The boxes are heavy. And note it does not come with the seat or the wax ring. They must be ordered separately. My husband installed it himself. We were so tired of our little low toilets we went for the tall one. Big mistake! My 6'1" husband is perfectly comfortable on this tall toilet, but I feel like a little kid again sitting on a huge toilet. I am 5'7", so not short. You wouldn't think an inch or two would make much difference, but with toilets apparently it does. So really measure your toilets that you use and think about what height is comfortable for you. It is next to impossible to return a toilet after it is installed and you find out it is the wrong height. Back to the toilet. It is amazing! Flushes everything! If you have small children that like to flush toys or whatever though, this could be a problem. They could probably flush all the toys in their rooms down this toilet, no problem and the family dog too. It is pretty quiet. It has a very short flushing sound that makes you think it didn't flush correctly, but surprise, it does! We are going to replace all the toilets in the house with Toto, but will pay more attention to the height issue next time. This purchase was a test to see if we liked it.

This is an awesome toilet, it has a very large water surface area compared to most all other toilets made today and it has a unique flush where the water travels from the back around the top side of the bowl to the front and flows directly into the hole pushing everything down . You can not beat the price of this toilet from this seller.The toilet and bowl came packed extremely well like the best I have seen yet . I have installed thousands of toilets yes thousands of toilets so I know very well what is and what is not worth your time or money and this definitely is a great buy.

This toilet just works. No problems with flushing, stays clean, and looks great. It was a bit of a tight fit, so measure before installing. Measured standard 12" from wall to center of pipe, but a tight fit. We purchased the taller and longer style which has been great. I thought if anybody was going to complain about the height, it would be my ten year old daughter, but if I may be graphic, it is her toilet of choice in our three bathroom house.PROS: Stylish, so far has flushed everything (to those who clog toilets, I really wonder what you're doing and/or eating. A courtesy flush half way through would seem to solve the problem. I'm guessing a lot of toilet paper on top of the organic material). Film does not build-up on the sides of the toilet, stays VERY clean after two months. Have not had to take a brush to it yet and looks like the day it was installed. The lid I purchased feels different, but it is not bad as others have noted - but I can see their point. Like the slow closing cover, fits fine. I did take the advice of another poster and purchased a different lid than what I think is recommended. Definitely get the slow-closing lid if you have kids. Its been great not hearing a slamming lid on porcelain. Finally, flushes incredibly quickly and re-fills the tank fairly quietly in comparison to the old toilet.CON: Really the only con I have is cosmetic. The tank cover doesn't look like it fits properly - or what I'm used to seeing. We had the toilet professionally installed since they were doing some plumbing work anyway (so I can't comment on the difficulty of installation). Anyway, I asked the plumber if it was supposed to fit like that as it didn't cover the sides, just kind of sat on top of the tank. He assured me that it was the right cover, and that it just sits that way and looks a bit odd - but was indeed correct. I can see how the toilet seat can be a negative as it feels different, like it "leans" or "slopes" down and inward, but have become used to it. Again, just a different feel than the 'flatter' toilet seats, but not uncomfortable per say.CONCLUSION:I used my American Express points to purchase and on top of the more than 40% sales discount, received it for free. Would have definitely paid more, though, as its a quality toilet. It fills quickly and is quiet. It flushes very quickly and efficiently. I'm not sure about the engineering, but it flushes straight back versus the gravity swirl of older toilets.Give this product my highest recommendation.
