As the title of this review indicates, this
TOTO CST744SL#03 Drake Elongated Hdcp Bowl and Tank, Bone
is the best toilet I have ever owned. That includes toilets my parents owned when I was a child. My wife says the same thing.
We have a relatively small house which has 2½ baths. We bought the house new in 1992 and it came with three builders' grade American Standard Plebe toilets.
Over many years, we had nothing but trouble with those toilets and had to replace various parts many times and we even replaced the entire mechanism three times.
Finally in 2014 we had "had it" with these units and decided to buy new toilets.
After much research by both my wife and myself, we chose this one.
We were naturally going to buy them through our plumber but we found that Amazon beat the plumber's best price by $100.00 per toilet (and he said he would sell the toilets to us at his cost).
So, even with some trepidation, we ordered them from Amazon on May 1, 2014. We ordered at the same time three
TOTO SS114#03 Transitional SoftClose Elongated Toilet Seat, Bone
; this is the best toilet seat we have ever owned (even though we have sometimes needed to offer usage instructions to guests ["Toilet Seat 101"!]).
Everything arrived two days later via UPS; the toilets were packaged in two parts each, all in separate boxes. The UPS driver was kind enough to place all of the boxes in our foyer.
As Prime members, in addition to the good price, we even received free shipping!
Our plumber came the next day and installed them for us, charging only his installation fee (which was very reasonable).
I have waited three years to write this review because I wanted to make certain that the excellence of these toilets was no fluke and that they would be long-lasting.
They are.
Last year I purchased three

"just in case" but so far have not needed to install them. (I did install one when I first received them just to make sure that they fit; they do.)
My wife and I cannot recommend this toilet (and the seats we purchased) too highly. They are comfortable, quiet, easy-to-clean and so far they have not clogged even once!
They just work.
For what more could you ask?
Obviously I highly recommend them and I also recommend that you at least consider buying them through Amazon. As I mentioned, we were a bit leery of buying something like this online but, in the event, the process was as smooth and as excellent as it could be. Amazon packed the toilets well and the free Prime shipping was "icing on the cake." Were we to need toilets sometime in the future, we would buy them from Amazon (not that we think that we'll need any new ones in the foreseeable future!)
Thank you for reading this review and for considering my opinions.
