We just replaced two toilets and went with the Toto. I like them. They have the lids that when you put them down, they do not slam down, but go down gradually.

I don't have one but was listening to Whoopi Goldberg on the radio. She has a Toto toilet and loved it. I had no idea what one was so I came in googled it.

Two of my bathrooms have Totos. I'm not crazy about them because when they flush they sometimes "spit" water back at you - which completely grosses me out, even though it's "clean" water, KWIM?

We're doing a total remodel and I don't think I will replace with Totos. I'm really not sure what all the hoopla is over them.

I have Toto. A frind of mine is a plumber, and he says they're the best. Only thing about them (at least mine) is they don't use the "universal" type flappers like they have at Lowes/HD/etc. I've had to get my replacements at a plumbing supply place, and not all plumbing pupply places carry replacement Toto parts, so I have to go to one particluar one that is out of the way. Actually, this last time I went, they didn't even have the right one I needed. I had to get a Fluidmaster specialty kit that fits over the opening in the pipe where the flapper goes. That was actually cheaper than the flapper I used to buy, so now that I know it works, I may go back and buy a few to keep on hand just in case they stop making them!

Othe than having to replace the flapper in the guest toilet a couple of times in the past 8 years, I've had no problems at all with mine.

I really couldn't believe my wife wanted to replace a perfectly good toilet (a Stirling), but the Toto is actually substantially better.

a perfectly good toilet

First time I've ever seen that particular phrase in print. Profound if you think about it.

Yeah, like what's a bad toilet by comparison?

This is funny. The first time I noticed the Toto brand was yesterday. It was at my customer and in their mens room. It was a stand up urinal. And it was a better design IMO than the older style next to it. Their deptartment is facilities management and construction. I guess there giving it a "test drive".
I have yet to see their "home" models so I don't know how they compare.

Does it work?

We have one in our downstairs bathroom, and it's everyone in the family's first choice when they need to really go. It's way better than the regular ones our builder installed, but I'm too cheap to replace the others.

The kind of lid Patty3 mentioned isn't really related to Toto -- you can buy those at Lowe's or Home Depot for whatever kind of toilet you have. You have to replace lids a lot more often than toilets, at least those of us with large numbers of boys do. (Don't think about it!)

Isaac Newton would say so!

We bought a Gerber and love it. Because of DH's knee replacement and hip problems we needed a "tall" toilet. We love it but have never seen a Toto. How are they different?
