TOTO Drake Two-Piece Elongated 1.6 GPF Universal Height TORNADO FLUSH Toilet with CEFIONTECT, Cotton White - CST776CSFG#01

Excellent toilet! I was a little worried about buying a toilet on Amazon and having it shipped especially with the horror stories about many coming damaged. I checked for damages once it arrive and all was good. It was packed very well with tons of packing materails and came in side a box, inside a box. The tank will be in a separate box. The 2 main reasons I purchased on Amazon was the price was good and this one does NOT have the hole for the bidet. I'm not interested in a squirtgun in the toilet with kids lol.It was a straight forward install and comes with good instructions if you need them. It does come with hardware to assemble but you will need to purchase a wax ring. I just bough the extra thick wax ring kit with hardware from HD. It does come with the caps for where the toilet mounts.The toilet flushes very well compared to my 12 year old Delta. I added a Hibbent soft close toilet seat that has a button on the side for quick release which is great for cleaning. It matches and works pretty well with this toilet.Overall I recommend and plan on buying another one when I refinish my other bathroom.

**UPDATE** Can you love a toilet? Yes!! I've had it for months now and I still LOVE IT. So easy to clean! Great flush power. Comfortable. AWESOME**UPDATE 2** My plumber recently asked if I wanted to replace the plain seat I have with a Toto toilet seat. He had a bunch of new ones left over from other clients who didn't want them. Oooh how fancy! They're expensive and I'll have a matching set instead of my regular old big box store seat? For free? Yes! I'll take it Well, after he installed it - Oh nooooo...it became instantly clear on why he had a surplus. People aren't putting them on because they're bad! Like really bad! Feels like you're sitting on the rim without a seat at all. OUCH! I've become more used to it now but it's still not good. In fact I think its been putting too much pressure on certain delicate parts that should not be strained. I'll need to get a new seat.***You are not missing out on anything - they are doing you a favor by not including the seat.***Go get a regular one from the local store.--------original comment:The toilet is awesome: very modern and comfortable height. I got it for a good price. The flush is strong. I don't like that it didn't come with a seat - but I knew that when I ordered it. I would buy again

Yes, this is the best toilet. It is ADA compliant which means more comfort for the 6 foot tall crowd. This will be a welcome relief to the aged, the infirm and the not very flexible. There was one reviewer who mentioned getting wet while flushing and sitting down: we have never had that. The insides of the toilet are nice too. There is no flapper valve to get misaligned. It uses a fancy pants flush valve that is always lined up. Another nice thing for some people is that Toto makes a nice washlet to go with this toilet, a cheaper way to explore more of the bidet and other functions of a Japanese style toilet. As is, I think this is the best toilet that is just a toilet.

The media could not be loaded. This toilet was long overdue at my dad’s house. I did a lot of research, and plumbers seem to laude the Toto Drake as the gold standard in mid-priced toilets. To that end - it’s indeed fantastic. It looks clean and sleek in cotton white. The elongated bowl is better for large-bottomed folks, but also men, I’m told. (It isn’t ridiculously elongated - just seems like a standard residential toilet.) I AM glad I ordered the universal/chair height — which is a couple inches taller than the standard version. I’m 5’8 and it doesn’t seem noticeably tall at all. Moreso, I appreciate my dad doesn’t have to struggle as much sitting down or getting up off of it. I highly recommend this height more than the standard version. Also, the flush isn’t overpowering as others have said - yes, it’s on the strong side but the sound isn’t any louder than a standard home toilet flush.HOWEVER… the installation was awful. Granted, I’ve never installed a toilet but I’m a sharp gal who’s comfortable with household repairs. (Plenty of YouTube videos to teach you - and these were infinitely more helpful than the folded paper instructions.)Here are some important tips for first-time installers, or if you’ve never installed this type of toilet. FIRST - you need to buy mounting hardware/screws for the floor (I anticipated this as the small print and reviews stated this kit does NOT come with them. The screws/nuts/metal and rubber washers for the tank are included, as are the plastic caps to cover up the screws on the floor.) The floor mounting screws are usually included in the new wax seal or “Better Than Wax” seal that you will also need to buy ($9). I also HIGHLY recommend getting an extra tank mounting kit/set of screws and rubber washers - mine cost like $6 at Home Depot - AND a small tube of silicon sealant ($8–12).As others have noted, after I installed it the first time, the bottom of the tank started leaking - BADLY - as soon as I turned the water on. I’ll add that I followed directions to the letter - and carefully tightened each side of the tank screws little by little to ensure an even fit. It was hard gauging how tight to screw everything because you don’t want to crack the porcelain and ruin your toilet. So, after failed installation #1, I went through the tedium of scooping the water out of the tank and unscrewing the tank mounting bolts to try again. After installation attempt #2, there was still a tiny bit of leaking when I turned on the water - which I thought I fixed by tightening one of the tank screws. However, when I flushed - same problem. Water would seep out of the bottom of the tank. This is when I cried. You know that scene in “Christmas Vacation” when Clark Griswold freaks out when his Christmas lights fail? I felt like that times 26.My dad, an expert family handyman, extolled me to try the silicon. He said it looked like tightening the screws sucked part of the rubber washer into the mounting hole, creating a faulty seal. This was surprising because the toilet comes with *thick* rubber washers, but I had better luck with the store-bought ones. Because I mentally couldn’t handle a third failed attempt, my dad showed me how to apply a thin layer of silicon under the rubber washer before affixing the inside-the-tank screws. We also applied a thin line of silicon along the outside of the rubber gasket where it affixes to the plastic ring around the bottom hole in the tank. You want to use the bare minimum amount of silicon to create a good “all the way around” seal - while wiping up any excess, which could dry and create a lumpy barrier that might prevent things from fitting as intended. I was irritated to have to wait 24 hours to let the silicon dry - but I’m glad I did. (In other words, the screws were affixed to the tank, but we let the tank and components dry completely before attaching it to the base of the bowl.) FINALLY - hallelujah - when I affixed the tank the third time, THERE WERE NO FRICKING LEAKS!! Just be sure to look carefully at the two tiny upward, porcelain mounds at the front of the toilet bowl, and the one in the back of the toilet. Once you’ve tightened enough so that all three are gently touching the tank - and the tank doesn’t move when you try to wiggle it - you should be set. That said, I would never, ever, ever attempt this again without the silicone to reinforce the seal.

5 stars as we love the toilet, the flush, rimless and so easy to clean. We like it so much ordered another for a spare bathroom.However it may take many orders and returns to get one that doesn’t arrive broken. First one came broken though replacement arrived intact. For the second bathroom we are now on our 3rd order as first 2 arrived cracked. Fingers crossed that the 3rd arrives intact. The packaging really needs to be improved and boxes marked fragile
