I lifted the tank lid on a Toto Drake at a local shop and noted that the tank was stamped inside as "made in Vietnam". For some reason I thought that North American Toto products were made in the US (I am in Canada). The flapper seemed more pink than red as in the Ultramax I also checked out. Is Vietnamese made usual for the Drake? Should I be concerned? The salesperson just said that toilets are made all over the word. (Yeah, I've heard about some Chinese ones...)
The salesperson also suggested that he didn't think that his company was still carrying the regular Drake - just the Eco Drake (not sure why as we don't live in a place with any requirements for low flush toilets). At any rate, it seemed to me that the model in the showroom was actually a round front regular Drake (at least it said 1.6gpf on it!).
Sure wish the prices up here weren't just about US suggested list price on Toto - and maybe wish I lived closer to Washington State!
