OK, it's pretty clear that Toto is a high-quality manufacturer, and American Standard, as least with the mass-marked Cadet, etc, is marginal.
Seems to me that Am Std and Kohler have both had way too many issues in recent years with design, material selection, and manufacturing quality control. They've become sort of the General Motors of the toilet world. (I'm not saying all their products are bad...)
What about Eljer, Mansfield, Crane, Gerber, etc? (I know many of these have been bought up by A/S.) But have any of them managed to maintain quality in their mass-market lines?
