I researched toilets for quite a while, using this site and others and from that research, concluded that the Toto Drake toilet was the one I wanted.
So yesterday, I went to a Toto dealer and purchased a Toto Drake toilet.
Today, I unpacked the toilet to install it. WOW, UNBELIEVEABLE !!!
First thing that I noticed was that the toilet wobbled on the floor, I mean not just a little wobble, but 1/4 inch.
Then I turned the toilet over to see if I could determine why it was so out of kelter.
At that point, things went from bad to very bad. At the discharge of the toilet, there is a crack that goes 1/3 the way around the trapway.
Then I noticed that the inside of the trapway is as rough as a corncob. Not only that, but at the very end of the trapway, there is a 1/4 inch lip (very convenient for catching solids to clog at that point.
Then I turned the toilet back upright and discovered that the glaze in the bowl goes just barely past where you can see. If you stick your finger in just a little ways, the trapway there is also as rough as a corncob.
If you clicked on the link above, you'll notice that one of the stated features is a 'fully glazed trapway'.
Well, tomorrow it goes back to the dealer.
How people give this toilet a thumbs up is beyond me !
