TOTO Drake: A Little disappointed with glazing...
After reading this and other forums on toilets to replace our old 7+ gal. American Standard toilet, I took almost everyones advice and bought a TOTO Drake in the ADA height.
I am very happy with toilet quality and flush power, as well as the large "pool" of water in the bottom of the bowl compared to the little puddles other low flow toilets have, HOWEVER, I am a bit disappointed in the INTERNAL GLAZING job on these Drakes...
On mine (YMMV), the glazing seems to stop when you leave the bowl and enter the trap area and the bottom opening also does not seem to have any glazing on the porcelain surface where the waste dumps out and down the drain.
I stick my fingers into the bowl drain and it feels ROUGH and unglazed. I reach my fingers into the bottom opening and it too is rough and feels unglazed. This is in contrast to my old AS water hog that is baby-butt smooth no matter how far in my fingers go.
It probably doesn't matter, I just expected MORE from a toilet this expensive... At least glazing all throughout the waste path... Mine was made in Vietnam...
But it does flush STRONG and SURE... Just my review of the Toto Drake toilet...
