| Needing to buy a new toilet, but wasn't sure what I should be looking for (other than functionality - my 7 yr old has a tendency to clog!). Any advice? |

| Toto. Replaced Kohler with Toto in two bathrooms. No regrets. |

| OP here: this is great advice. I would have just picked the basic Home Depot model. Any other thought? Elongated vs round? Dual flush? Etc. thanks. |

Toto Drake (which I don't think you can get at home depot)
Check if the HD one has the same flushing mechanism as the Drake. the other stuff is personal preference |

| We just gutted all of our bathrooms and I have two "boys" (i.e. son and husband) in the house. I specifically told the contractor I needed something that will flush! We went with all Toto, but I did NOT go with comfort height. Personal preference, but if you're not tall or have kids, comfort height toilets will be too uncomfortable - you'll be on your tippy toes sitting. Now my husband is 6'2", so we could have gone comfort height for him, but he said he didn't care and I did. I've used comfort height toilets in hotels, and hate them. Now, once I"m old and retired, I might change them out for comfort height as its easier to sit down on them, but that's quite a few years away. |

| PP here. I forgot - ours are the more expensive Toto toilets that you can't get at Home Depot either. I think they are Toto Drake, but not sure. We ordered them through Fergussen's. |

More fiber? Will make his excrement less dense.
But Toto is the best. Our kohler is nothing but junk and trouble. |

The Drake is the cheapest one that still has the better flushing mechanism. It's the workhorse Toto. At least when I was in the market, which was, actually, a few years ago. Maybe 8.
