I cannot tell you how long my husband has been suggesting we get a TOTO toilet<\/strong>. Truth be told, he has gone beyond suggesting and was well into the nagging phase when we began talking about the renovation of our powder room.<\/p>\n I have seen TOTO toilets in many of the upscale resorts we stayed in\u00a0this summer like the Mirror Lake Inn<\/a>. Seeing them used like this was another indication they must be superior quality. So I decided to look further into them.<\/p>\n Their website<\/a> <\/strong>is very easy to navigate and you will find\u00a0so many styles and designs to browse. They have a special tool\u00a0called\u00a0My TOTO<\/strong> that allows you to view, save, compare, and share products for multiple design projects. You can learn about a product\u2019s features and specifications, save it to a folder for future reference, compare its features and price and even share your favorites with friends and family\u00a0through social media.<\/p>\n The first thing you need to figure out is whether you want a one-piece or two-piece toilet. A two-piece toilet<\/a><\/strong> is generally lighter than a one piece toilet since the tank is separate. \u00a0This can help if you have to carry it up to the second or higher level in your home.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n One piece toilets<\/a><\/strong> can usually fit in tighter spaces and they are easier to clean than two-piece toilets. They also tend to have less issues than two-piece toilets. One-piece toilets generally have a higher price point than\u00a0two-piece toilets.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n TOTO also has a third choice, wall-hung<\/a><\/strong>, which opens up bathroom space but you need to have an in-wall tank system.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Your style will be the next choice you will need to make. For residential use, you can choose from modern<\/strong>, transitional<\/strong> or classic styles<\/strong>. Other choices you will need to make are whether you want an elongated or round bowl shape, flush rate, flushing system and\u00a0color.<\/p>\n I knew, I wanted was a skirted toilet<\/strong>. If you are not sure what that is, it means that the trapway is covered, is so much easier to clean and has a smoother appearance. I also wanted a classic design, elongated bowl and powerful flushing system.<\/p>\n I was able to find exactly what I wanted in the\u00a0Eco Guinevere<\/strong><\/a>. This is a uniquely sculpted one-piece toilet with a 1.28 GPF and elongated bowl. It also features \u00a0TOTO’s highly efficient Tornado flushing system<\/strong>, which uses a powerful combination of gravity and centrifugal force and CeFiONtect, an extraordinarily smooth, ion-barrier surface to help the bowl stay cleaner longer. I also chose the brushed nickel trip lever.<\/p>\n
