TOTOMS853113S#01 Ultramax Round One Piece Toilet, Cotton White

We have replaced all three toilets in our house with Toto one piece Ultra Max units. They are very quiet, the tank refills very quickly and quietly and they clear the bowl very efficiently. I guess the only negative is that they don't clean the bowl very well. I think this is because of the way the flushing action works. The water and matter are just sucked out of the bowl rather than the whirlpool action of more standard toilets. So it is something of a trade-off: quiet speed for a cleaner bowl. But, overall, we are very pleased with this product and it has saved us money on our water bill. One side note: Beware that the price of this item varies widely on Amazon. In the several months in between the purchase of the first Toto Ultra Max Round toilet and the second purchase of the same unit, the price varied as much as $60.00.

The toilet is worth 5 stars. The Amazon delivery and invoice process, well that's another thing. If I could I'd give it negative stars. I hate to ding such a great object but my entire experience was only worth 2 stars.Even though many reviews comment on broken toilets during delivery, these are still shipped with the sole protection of one layer of cardboard. Would not be enough under any circumstance, but with a one piece toilet that leaves the tank very exposed....Please check yours before you go through the pain of hauling it inside the house... The first one I received was broken and I had to refuse it. It was also delivered late (after making a several hours block appointment on a Saturday). What a waste of a great toilet, delivery and Saturday morning. And of the time to get a new one while your project is stalled...Oh, and did I mention that even though it's a Prime item, it's not delivered in 2 days (you need a delivery appointment and the delivery may well be 2 weeks out and your card still gets charged when they ship on the next day, even though it'll wait in a warehouse somewhere for a couple weeks... and be broken). Eventually a second one was sent, but at that point they didn't ask me for an appointment so I had to scramble to be there. Lucky that it was not broken, I guess..After that, it was a breeze. Easy mounting, amazingly fast and efficient flushing, very quiet operation, good looking. It's small, that surprised me, but it's definitely not a problem in a small bathroom. No negatives whatsoever so far.Will definitely buy again for other projects. Very unlikely I'll buy through Amazon unless packing and shipping improves substantially.To my surprise the second one was not better protected than the first... still a single layer of cardboard.

I've had two old (25+ years) toilets in my home and dreading the day they broke in some manner. I've been around enough low water usage toilets to know how poorly many work - taking 2-3 flushes negates the point of a 1.6 gpf toilet. I was also concerned that older plumbing waste systems (mine is 50 yrs old) don't work well on lower water flushes - many of my neighbors have had to dig up sewer lines while mine are working fine. SF also recently reported the problem of thick sludge in their sewer lines from the low water flow.Finally one of my older toilets cracked, and I had to get a new replacement. My son works for a contractor who uses nothing but Totos and recommended them. Even with a house full of children, he said they work well.This one was priced lower than some of the others but fit our bathroom dimensions (round, not elongated, fits in this bathroom). I ordered it, and since some other people here on Amazon reported poor delivery by local companies, I opted to head to my local Yellow Freight and pick it up myself when it arrived.Once installed and plumbed in, we began using it. It flushes well - no other way to say it. I've seen Kohlers at work and they can't flush with 1.6 gallons. This design is amazing, and after four months it has never required a second flush for solid waste.I still try to send extra water down after a solid flush, such as a shower/bath, run the washer, etc., just to be safe. Or even use a second flush if nothing else is going to send water to the sewer. But to clean the bowl or completely flush something down, a second flush is never required.Amazon says to consider a video review of the product in use - in this case, just take my word for it. The toilet works.

Works as well as one can expect for a 1.6gpf toilet.No clogs or misfires after three months of use, but my satisfaction would increase with a higher volume of water.It helps to thoroughly clean out the drain (I know, super gross), prior to replacing the old.High quality materials and very quiet during flush and refill.Comes with one of those spiffy quiet-close seats.Remember to buy a new wax seal and some caulking compound to finish off the install.

Compared to the toilet I was replacing this with, it's very small, which helps make the bathroom look bigger. It's a standard installation with two bolts poking up from the floor and some of the more expension TOTO products aren't as easy. Flushing is fast and complete, a bit louder than I expected but it refills fast. I read somewhere that there were two flushes on this, a smaller one for liquids and a bigger flush if you hold the handle down for 2 seconds but I haven't been able to tell any difference so I don't know if that's true. Comfort wise, it's as comfortable as anything. My legs don't fall asleep at least. The soft close lid is slow but can be forced down. The only issue with that is it can "flick" back and hit the tank if you don't push it down the first two inches, which my wife did one time and woke me up in the middle of the night. It's low flow at 1.6 gallons per flush and where I live there's a $75 rebate from the water company for installing a toilet that uses 1.28 gallons but I didn't realize that until it was too late. The 1 piece design is the best though, much cleaner look and easier to clean.
