We need to replace an old toilet in our 1938 house (although the toilet itself is not from 1938). The bathroom is very small--seriously just enough room for a vanity, a toilet, and a bath: about 5x8. The rough-in is 14" and the plumbing is not new (in another post I made, I noted that one site said that only a skirted Toto could be used to unifit for a 14" rough-in). Our current toilet (a basic American Standard) has clogged several times, but I'm assuming that the problem is the toilet and not the plumbing. We would like to get a low-flush but have been told that they are not powerful enough to flush in one flush and that they don't work well in old houses. I was also told that round-seat toilets do not have as strong a flush as elongated toilets. The ones we are looking at are the Drake, the Dartmouth, and the Promenade (although I've read that the Promenade is a bit loud). Sana-gloss and G-Max would be great--but again, maybe too much toilet/power for an old house/plumbing? In terms of cost, we don't want to spend a fortune, so the higher-end Totos are not an option.
I've been driving myself crazy, looking on this forum and on several other sites, trying to collect the information I need to make the right choice. Instead, I'm now just thoroughly confused. This forum seems to have the most knowledgeable folks, so if anyone has any suggestions for a model that would fit our needs, I would be eternally grateful.
