The one-piece toilet is immediately the distinguishing feature of modern bathroom environments. With chair-height and elongated dimensions, the Karo emphasizes comfort, exceptional performance and water conservation as well. Featuring Icera’s EcoQuattro flushing technology, the Karo is 30-50% more efficient than most toilets. Plus, the skirted trapway facilitates cleaning, and installs easily over existing floorboards for remodeling. The Karo is EPA WaterSense-compliant, using only 1.28 gallons per flush and capable of clearing over 1,000 grams MaP in independent testing (as compared to an industry average of only 350 grams). With an oversized 2-1/8” trapway (larger than industry standard), clogging is virtually eliminated. Best of all, the flush mechanism is quiet. A premium, “silent close” toilet seat is included. The package also includes all accessories needed for in-home installation (basic tools are required), and comes with an installation guide. » Vitreous china one-piece toilet

In our tests of single- and dual-flush toilets, the top overall scorers were priced about midway in the group. The best toilets also save water while still delivering worry-free performance. This is one plumbing fixture you depend on for reliability, especially in a large household—and it should last a decade or more without much maintenance.

Large Framed Mirrors Houston TxTo simulate a bathroom's worst nightmare, we deployed a measured mix of baby wipes, sponges, plastic balls, and water-filled latex sleeves to see whether a toilet would clog.

We also gauged how well the flush cleans the toilet bowl and moves waste down the drain line. Top performers leave the bowl pristine, and carry waste far down your drain pipe, reducing the likelihood of clogs. More water flushed sometimes (but not always) means more complete flushing. But toilets flush away about 30 percent of all residential water in U.S. homes, so it's not surprising that water conservation has become a serious concern. A 1995 U.S. Department of Energy requirement limits new toilets to 1.6 gallons per flush. All the toilets we tested met that standard, and the majority of the tested models met the stiffer California standard, which limits toilets sold in that state to 1.28 gallons per flush. The high-efficiency models that satisfy the California standard carry a “WaterSense” label. Get the Right Size Toilet for Your Space Narrow your shopping options by making sure the new toilet matches the existing toilet’s “rough-in” measurement—the distance from the wall to the center of the toilet flange (the hold-down bolts).

A measurement of 12 inches is standard, but 10-in. and 14-in. models are also available. "Comfort height" toilets, which sit about 17 to 19 inches high, or about two or three inches higher than usual have become the most common choice. The added height makes getting on and off easier. While there are many features to consider when buying a toilet including height, bowl shape, color, style, and flushing technology, most toilets fall into two basic types: gravity feed and pressure assisted. Gravity feed toilets dominate the market, but pressure assist can be a worthy consideration. As their name implies, these toilets have a flush valve that relies on gravity. Water drops from the tank into the bowl to move waste down the drain. They can work with as little as 10 pounds per square inch of household water pressure. Models with a beefy 3- 3 1/2, even 4-inch wide flush valve delivered more thrust in our tests than did those with a 2- to 2 1/2-inch valve. You can ask to see the manufacturer's specifications for the flush valve.

Pros: Gravity-feed toilets flush more quietly than pressure-assisted models. Many we tested worked every bit as well as the best pressure-assisted models, and with far less fanfare—an advantage in close quarters. Cons: Models that perform comparably to pressure-assist units typically cost as much, while lower-priced models may not be able to properly displace waste. As water compresses air within the sealed tank, it creates pressure that thrusts waste forcefully down the waste line. A pressure-assisted toilet is an especially good choice for large families, but it does have a noisier flush. Before buying, be sure that your home has at least 25 pounds per square inch of water pressure, the minimum required for a pressure-assisted toilet to work properly. You can check with a $10 gauge that connects to an outdoor spigot. Pros: The pressure-assisted toilets dispatched our simulated solid waste with few clogs. Cons: These toilets are noisy; the loudest ones emitted an emphatic whoosh.
