I'm finally upgrading the toilets that came with the house. What I want/need in a toilet is something that can clean its own bowl fairly well (removing skidmarks when needed) as well as complete flushes (no bits of debris left in the water after a flush requiring a second round). Clogging shouldn't be an issue (at least it hasn't been with the current Mansfield 160 toilets in the house). The amount of water used also doesn't matter to me, I just want the best performer.
I'll preface this by saying I know most people around here prefer Toto. I've had my eye on the Drake II (which seems to perform better than the Drake as far as self-cleaning due to the Double-Cyclone?) but to be fair I've been trying to look at the competition for it which brought me to American Standard.
So as far as the AS competitors it looks like there's the H2Option and VorMax. The VorMax looks like it's the direct competitor to the Drake II but how does the H2Option compare? They advertise its "PowerWash Rim" as "scrubbing" the bowl, but would the vortex style flush of the Drake II/VorMax clean better?
Speaking of which, do the vortex style toilets (Drake II/VorMax) flush/clean better than the original 1.6 rim style toilets (Drake/Champion)?
Also, are there any other models/brands worth throwing into the mix?
Thanks.
