IPU, there is one correct answer here: TOTO. And I am being completely serious. This was one of the best parts of our remodel a few years ago. It is a Japanese company, and the Japanese really know their shit about toilets (so to speak).

You need two parts. First of all, select your toilet:

I think we got the Drake 2-piece. Don't get the Pacifica with the vertical sides on the bottom. You will have to reconfigure your plumbing. We got that one and had to take it back. In the 2-3 year period we have had this thing, it has NEVER clogged. They say you can flush 20 golf balls at a time.

Next, you pick your washlet seat:

You should definitely go with the S300. Pricey, but worth every penny.

I don't know if you have ever used one of these, but they are awesome. Almost every home in Japan has one (or two or three).

You can get them at Standard Plumbing here in Utah. The folks at the Orem store told me that TOTO brand is their best-seller.

You can thank me later.

One more thing, you may need to run a wire to the wall next to your toilet. The main unit (washlet) requires an electrical outlet. The remote control runs on batteries and attaches to to wall. You don't need to do anything special with your plumbing. It all fits standard connections.

Thanks for that info Jeff.

20 golf balls? That sounds like what I'm looking for. I want a man's toilet. The wife can do the rest of the bath as she sees fit.

I'll stop in at Standard Plumbing tomorrow and take a look.

Jeff is correct. The TOTO is the way to go.

My bro used them in his house for his kids, who previously managed to clog the toilet at least once a week.


Since that time, he's had just ONE clog, which required a plumber to use an auger to drill whatever the kid flushed out of the pipe.

What I read in the paper is that they use stainless steel in parks because they are more difficult to vandalize then the porcelain ones. I guess vandals like to smash the latter.
