On what model throne do you do your two?
August 15, 2015 at 3:26 pm
C_L's classic Taboo of Two could be the mother ship to a whole new sub-forum here. A fitting title might be "All Things Brown and Beautiful". I'd like to offer this as the first satellite thread off the mother ship.
We recently sought out, purchased and had installed a Toto. This sucker seems impervious to overflow. In perpetually draught stricken California we have tight regulations regarding how much water you can use in a flush.
When we first remodeled our bathroom more than twenty years ago we bought the cheapest shitter money could buy at one of the big box stores. What a joke. I never took a shit on that thing where I didn't flush twice. First the load and just a few wipes. Then all the additional paper a hirsute gentleman requires to remain clean and spiffy.
A friend recommended a Toto and we are 100% satisfied. It doesn't flood the bowl with water when you flush. Just a big sucking whoosh, followed by the inflow of clean water. Never a problem.
Anyone else got a bathroom ride they recommend?

It's white.
I never paid that much attention to it.

I wound up with an ADA model in my can. It's 1" taller than a regular shitter. I'm tall, it seems right.
No idea the brand. As long as there is some reading material handy it be fine.

I never paid attention to make and model but maybe I should have. They always seem inadequate. I'm afraid I make heavy demands on a toilet.
It would be helpful if toilets were of standard shapes and sizes so they could be matched with a plunger. Perhaps most people haven't noticed but some plunger shapes are not compatible with certain bowl shapes. This is known to me because of my aforementioned heavy demands on toilets, often necessitating the need of a plunger.

Don't know the brands but my master bath has a top-button flush toilet that I hate. I like that it had a soft-close lid tho;I always put the lid down on my toilet, or any toilet I use ans having the soft close makes it so midnight tinkles don't result in a slamming lid.
The other reason I hate it is that it's bright white and right next to an almond-colored tub so it makes the tub look perpetually filthy when it's not.
The hall bath has a baby blue toilet with a typical handle flush, but I hate it because it's really low and the bowl is really weirdly elongated -it seems like more than a typical elongated bowl. On the up side, though, it doesn't clash with the almond tub it's right next to, which is more than I can say for the other commode.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

You'd never need a plunger with a Toto and I understand there are other makes that are just as good.
I have never met a toilet like that. Forgive my skepticism but I place VERY heavy demands on a toilet. My shit is special.
