Toto -vs- St. Thomas Toilets
I plan on renovating 3 bathrooms and wondering which toilet would be best. I presently have the old water tank (1960’s), which at times tends to clog do to a paper buildup from my 3 children. Now I’m wondering about the problems I’ll probably have with the newer toilets 1.6 GPF. I was informed that…

I was informed that Toto makes excellent toilets, yet the St. Thomas collection is very stylish. Does anyone have any experience with either one? The Toto has G-Max: Quiet, powerful, commercial grade flushing performance Fast Flush, a wide 3†flush valve which is 125% larger than conventional 2†flush valves, and a wider, 2 1/8†computer designed, fully glazed trapway. Its other model is Power Gravity with a 3″ flush valve, and 2 1/8″ glazed computer designed trapway, and siphon jet action. Where as the St. Thomas has an extra large 3†flush valve & an extra large 2 1/8 glazed trapway.
As far as it’s use…. the Powder Room is on the 1st Floor and will be used by entire family & guests, the 2nd floor one is in a private bathroom for adults and 3rd floor used by 2 toddlers and a teenager (who’s always clogging the toilet).
Bought my TOTO on-line as well. No problems.
Buy your Toto toilets on-line…do not buy them from a plumber or supply store…the price differentials are absurd….
I got my toilets delivered within a week..paid someone to install…saved $300+ per toilet…one did arrive broken but they replaced it immediately at zero cost…
In December Toto opened a showroom at 25 Mercer Street.
I have a Toto and love it–it was provided with a great seat that has spring loaded springs so it doesn’t slam if you drop it. One of the best parts of my bathroom.
A&K Tile at 336 9th Street in Park Slope sells Toto toilets. No – I don’t work for the store. My dad just ordered one through them and he’s very happy with it. And Anonymous at February 22, 2006 10:13 PM – don’t linger on the toilet. Thats how you get hemorrhoids!
We have a Toto on the 4th floor (where the water pressure is lowest) and in our rental (where there was something funky with the rough in that caused us to replace an American Standard that kept getting blocked). Both perform flawlessly. We have a St Thomas in our master bath because it matches the other fixtures. It’s completely fine but does occasionally need the help of ye good olde plunger.

the elongated is comfy.
Does anyone know where you can purchase Toto toilets locally (i.e., Brooklyn)? And do other Toto owners agree that the seats are comfortable?(We had heard that they might not be.) Thanks.
If you are looking at Toto, check out the Japanese style ones with the heating and bidet features. Amazing!
