Hello everyone,
I'm shopping for new toilets and was wondering what the best rimless flushing technologies are. The mainstream ones seem to be Kohler Revolution 360, American Standards Vormax, and Toto Tornado. Are there any other ones? And which one is the best?
Some criteria for the best is:
1. Clearance (the new Toto 746's are so problematic and unsanitary for the men because the bowl isn't deep enough at the front, even for the chair height and elongated models)
2. Amount of splashing (Again, the Toto 746's splash the most)
3. Number of jets (Toto has two, I believe AS and Kohler have one)
4. Power (Toto and Kohler both use flush towers, so supposed they are more powerful, however, most tests show the dual flapper AS one to be most powerful)
5. Skidmarks and residue (It appears that AS is the best, with Toto being the worst)
6. Water level (Toto is the lowest/worst, AS is the highest/best)
7. Odour (mainly a problem with the Toto because of low water level)
8. Packaging (Kohler has the strongest packaging, with Toto having the weakest)
My personal opinion of these companies is: AS has quality control issues, Kohler has great designs but is ultra proprietary, and Toto's new 746 line has so many complaints but the older Drake II's are great. I've heard that a Toto representative said that Toto is aware of the multiple issues and will replace the toilets if needed and that the 746's will most likely be shortly discontinued.
My personal evaluation is that AS seems to have the best rimless technology, with Kohler a close second. If Toto fixes the issues with the 746's it will probably be on par with Kohler.
