This thread is hilarious.

I have the best flushing toilet in the world. It is Grandma's toilet with the tank above and the pull chain handle. I have to use 2 hands to pull the chain but when that baby lets go it's like a dyson on overdrive, and you'd better be standin back.

and No, he didn't throw a toy or comb down the Kohler but just the ordinary stuff which a toilet should be able to handle without stopping up and causing a flood.

any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
dutch toilets are very very strong.

When I went toilet shopping early this year I wanted a classic design, and one that would live up to my son.

I shopped the Depot, found an American Standard that said "flush right" on it IIRC. I looked at the toilet yesterday to see if I could find the model but don't see it. I don't think I spent more then $150 on it but am very pleased with how it works. We've had it close to a year, so far so good. It even flushes what my daughter throws at it in toilet paper.

I hope that the toilets in the new house are as good as these. If not, I know it's a fairly cheap fix.

The Kohler Cimarron (elongated Comfort Height) for around $260 is a real power flusher and hasn't failed yet!!!

When the Toto G-Max arrives, I'll compare the performance of the two.

I purchased an American standard cadet and we are on a septic system and it just did have enough water to push causing it to not flush properly any suggestion for those who need strong flushing toilets with septic systems

A toilet's ability to flush- well or not- has nothing to do with it being connected to a public sewer system or a septic system.
I have no idea where this "crap" comes from; really!

Buy Canadian or get an old school toilet from a junk yard.

Remember the Maine,
To hell with Spain,
And don't forget to pull the chain!

I looked at one in Sam's Club yesterday that has two "speeds", press 1 for pee, press 2 for poop. LOL
