Toilets that flush and stay clean - Recommendations? (Home Depot, to buy)

Okay, it's really disturbing how many videos there are of toilets flushing on You Tube!

We need some Toto toilets. The ones that came in this townhouse are weaker than my granny.

You may be able to outfit your entire house with Cadet 3 toilets for the price of a single Toto. Totos are the best, but $500+ for a single toilet!?!

Low flow, quiet flushing/filling, large diameter fully glazed trapway. Nearly matches the Toto spec for spec.

Whatever you buy, get it at a plumbing supply firm. Prices will be comparable with the big box stores, but quality is rumored to be much better from the places where the professionals buy.

I didn't pay $500+ for my Toto's - each were around $300 installed from Cary Plumbing. It's been well worth it so far!

And no, I can't install my own toilets!

There are different levels of Toto toilets so don't go with the less expensive model, as we did. They aren't all that great and daughter can still stuff up a toilet in a heartbeat! Yes, even our Toto cannot handle her!

I've never heard of a Toto toilet, but here is a handy tip:

Go to the Habitat for Humanity store. They go to older homes that will be torn down, and salvage fixtures. You can get an older toilet that was made before the conservation-style toilets.

I can't believe that I, a hard-core tree-hugger, just gave this advice. But I have the same problem, and it's gross and I'm frustrated. Even if toilets came with a "big flush/little flush" option, I'd be happy.

I think I've gotten to know some of you much too well after reading this. Then again, I live in an apartment with no need for a new toilet, so who knows what it says about me that I clicked on this :P !

Some toilets do - I know that Costco used to have on with that feature, and may still carry it. My 23-year old "high flow" toilets were terrible, which is why I replaced them with Toto's.
