Hi, and great forum...
Advice on the following is appreciated:
Situation is a master bath remodel on first floor. The new bath will have a contemporary/spa look with clean lines. I'm female, and am newly, partly but progressively disabled with dystrophy, and am overweight as well. My mate is taller than me, but he's pretty ordinary otherwise (don't quote me). Assuming I've got a 12" rough-in when they start demo-ing and all's right with the world, I'm interested in a Toto toilet with gmax, CEFIONTECT, elongated, with comfort height. Esp looking at the Drake and Ultramax models. I'm also interested in feedback on the Washlets, maybe the Chloe.
Other than general feedback, have a couple of questions/concerns:
1. Does the ADA Ultramax elongated come in a CEFIONTECT? If so, does it have the glazed trapway? IOW, if you have a CEFIONTECT model, do you automatically have the glazed trapway?
2. Of the Toto toilets, do any of the ADA height elongated bowls tend to tip to the front if you are overweight? I want something esp stable.
3. Are the seat attaching bolts strong, to avoid lateral movement if you approach getting on them from the side? I haven't been disabled that long, so I'm still new at all this. What about if I go with a Washlet seat?
4. I'm not tall (5' 4"). I sat on a Drake ADA that seemed an ok height though (or was it a comfort height--is that different from an ADA?). But if I get a Washlet seat, will that add too much height to the already taller ADA for me? Would the Washlet be harder to get onto, with dangling feet? I have nerve problems under my legs, so am sensitive to undo pressure against my thighs.
5. I live in Georgia, in a house built in 1979, on a concrete slab. Is there any reason any of that would factor into my choice of toilets (esp the slab part)? Wondering also if plumbers are ok with installing Totos? I read their USA plant is in Morrow, Ga, and I live in a booming home-building/remodeling area with $300000 to million dollar plus homes (um, that's not us, though!), so I hoped the Toto might be familarish?
Any issues you'd like to bring up I haven't thought of would be much appreciated as well.
