Moved into a new place all 3 toilets need to go. Any recommendations for two piece, American Standard or Kohler for the best flush, no clog, quiet flush and 20+year life. Something Home Depot or Lowes would carry. Let me know if you have a favorite. Just too many choices. Than you John

White, floor mount, nothing fancy, just the best choice for seniors

During the greater NYC toilet change out, I installed over 3,000 Gerber Avalance with ZERO call backs.

I bought American Standard, never installed it they replaced the bowl section 3 times and I gave up. Quality was terrible on all of them. I bought a Mansfield and it's been good only complaint is the flush flap is special and not easy to find. When I needed another toilet I bought the Lowes brand project Source and it's worked great. I need another for the master bath and it will be a Lowes Project Source.

Gerber Viper is a fantastic toilet. I have also installed AS Champion (terrible), AS Cadet (fine/meh), and Glacier Bay (surprisingly good).
Curious what about the AS Champion you didn't like. I have AS Cadet Pro with the special finish that is not very special as it still gets urine/salts/mineral build-up.

I installed the Gerber Viper as well as the Avalanche. I had zero callbacks with either

The "Bold look" was terrible as the BOLD LOOK never mentioned quality

It did not flush solids well, frequently requiring a second flush.

It did not flush solids well, often requiring 2 flushes. It was one of those with the tower style flush valve. Only had it installed for 3 years before the wife said it had to go.
