Factors to Consider When Buying the Best Flush Toilets

1. Flushing toilet type

There are two common types of flushing toilets, one-piece toilets and two-piece toilets, and they use different flushing systems. A one-piece toilet doesn't need a lot of assembling. Instead, the water tank and the bowl come connected. The one-piece model also has a sleek design and is easy to clean. Furthermore, you won't have to worry about bacterial build-up with this model.

Conversely, the two-piece model is more conservative and better for regular bathrooms. However, you require a good plumber to come and help you install this type of toilet to prevent leaks in the future. A seal connects the tank and bowl. Additionally, the two-piece toilet is cheaper.

2. Shape and size

When shopping for the best flushing toilet models, you need to consider the size and shape to ensure that it fits the bathroom space you have. There are two common shapes; round bowls and elongated bowls. The round bowl is fatter and shorter than the elongated toilet bowls. Conversely, the elongated flushing toilet is 2-inches longer than the round toilets in most cases and measures between 18 inches to 19 inches in length. Besides, the elongated bowls are more comfortable to sit on compared to other gravity flush toilets.

The height can also affect your overall experience. For instance, you can have a heated seat, but you won't enjoy the process if the height is uncomfortable. The standard height is about 13-15 inches tall. Nonetheless, for extra comfort, the range is 17-19 inches high.

3. The water efficiency of the flushing toilets

Before paying for any flushing toilets, you need to know whether they conserve water. In our reviews, we have seen that different flushing toilets use different amounts of water. However, dual flush toilets tend to conserve more water than other flushing toilets types.

Check how many gallons per flush if you are concerned about using the least water possible. Also, ensure you are not flushing multiple times, as this may take away the entire point of using the dual flushing systems. Though solid toilet flushes can be difficult to shift, a good flush toilet will still outdo single flushing toilets when saving water.

4. Quiet operation

When buying a new flushing toilet, you need to consider how loud they are. Unfortunately, the toilets you usually see in public toilets are not the type you want to fit in your bathroom. The reason is that they are very loud when flushing. This toilet uses pressure-assisted flushing technology, which forces water in the bowl by using pressurized air. The pressure causes the flushing to be very loud.

If you plan to install the toilet in the bedroom or where noise could cause issues like a baby nursery, we recommend you to go for a quiet flush toilet that uses the gravity flush system. Luckily, all of our top flushing toilet models run quietly.

5. Flushing power

When buying the best flushing toilets, pay attention to flushing power. A toilet with a strong flush does a better job of ejecting all waste from the system while also ensuring nothing is left stuck to the sides.

6. Toilet bowl shape

When shopping for the best toilet, you might need to consider the bowl shape. Toilet bowls usually come in two standard shapes, elongated and round. Most people will find elongated toilets much comfortable; however, round ones are better in smaller bathrooms since they occupy less space.

7. Additional features

When choosing the best toilet, we recommend you to go for a toilet that comes with additional features. For example, there are toilet models with touchless flushing, where you can wave your hand to activate the flushing. Other advanced features to look for include; heated seats, night lights, overflow protection, bidet capabilities, self-cleaning, and much more. Nonetheless, these toilet options will not only raise the initial cost of the toilet, but they will also require increased maintenance over the life of the bathroom fixture.
