This one!!

 

That is a nice toilet!! I have one just like it sitting in my shop, along with a really unique 4 1/2' clawfoot tub. Both these fixtures came out of the house that Canadian WW1 flying ace Billy Bishop grew up in (in Owen Sound Ontario).

I used to do a lot of restoration type renos in older homes - restored a lot of old tubs, faucets, and toilets. Don't do that much anymore:sad:

 

Hey, I remember seeing that toilet before. Bet its still in the same spot but I am sure the Festool has moved, though. :laughing:

Mid to high end clients, either Kohler or Toto. Agree that Toto is a dream toilet; not only to install but to use but certainly not cheap. :thumbup1:

 

No, I got her in and flushing!!

 

 

This is the one we like to install.

 

Nice visuals while you
are calling Ralph! :laughing:

 

Reminds me of the movie where the dude had platform shoes that were glass and had fish in them. I would put a pirahna in there for sure!!

 

:laughing::laughing:

Here ya go baby

6 1/2" rough in and no closet bolts

 

Is that the Kohler Escale RBS?

 

Yes. Funny story , it is the original European model. This toilet is actually six years old. It was sitting in a Ferguson warehouse and no one knew what it was or how it worked.

I paid 75 bucks for it:whistling

 

The Gods were smiling down upon you. I need to go shopping with you. Anyone who can wrangle a $1000+ toilet for $75.00 is someone I need to learn from.:w00t:

 

No one knew what it was. It had a 6 1/2" rough and it is connected of the back not on the bottom of the toilet


It was shipped to a warehouse in MD and ended up in DC and sat there for 3 years. They have tons of stuff like that at the Ferguson I ask for a list every six months. The deals are outrageous

 

I like the American Standard Cadet3, the Kohler wellworth and the Toto drake.

 

im with this guy all the way.

toto #1
although the aquios or whatever it is does really pi$$ me off with the stupid flange you gotta bolt down first then slide the toilet into.....

had good luck with the mansfield thus far as well....

as long as its not skid mark aplenty briggs

 

I'm partial to Duravit because they have so many install options, my favorite is their concealed tank models because they take up very little space.

 

A/s

We're hard core American Standard Cadet 3 or Colony

Accept for the Dual Flush which is literally crappy. They're blowing them out at rediculously low prices right now. For Dual Flush I like Caroma.

 

A/S Cadet III and Gerber Viper - Other plumbers have complained about American Standard, but we have had no complaints with the Cadet III. Great toilet for the price.

Toto Drakes are great, but no on likes the price.

 

A/S makes a good product--but they've continually had to upgrade their signature flush systems from issues.

The champion system is in it's 4th generation...cadet the third. As early as last month, we were getting champions with old guts and a bag of new parts to change them out. They flush hard...but in some installations I've had clients complaint at the "splash" from the bowl when flushed.

 

See Mike Finley, he is the crapper king I hear.

 

Toto all the way. Just put one in in a customers bathroom, worked so well I got one for myself. I will not recommend any other brand.


The Japanese truly understand the American consumer, properly engineered trucks, cars, tv's, crappers.

 

I know this is an ancient thread, but I've always recommended A/S cadet 3 toilets....but I just picked one up the other day for my house (round front). And it completely sucks! Have they changed something recently? Can't say I've installed a round front in like 3 years (always an elongated), does that have something to do with it?
I know it's not the plumbing, because I just ran everything new?
Taking it out today and returning,
think I might get a jacuzzi?

 

Best Toilet in the business is Toto

I love the Toto toilets the best as well. I have never had a call back on an install ever. The toilets design is outstanding and the tech support from Mr. Love first class. I first learned about these online forums while researching my first Toto toilet install about 5 or 6 years ago.

Terry's instructions differed somewhat from the suppliers and guess which ones where right? Here is a hint - Terry is a Master Plumber.... :clap:

Here is the toilet I like the best from Toto;

The toilet slides into a special housing and the regular guts are hidden from view. This is a very easy toilet to keep clean. I can't remember the model number...

If you have any questions about Toto Toilets or want to know where to buy them just email Terry Love. He'll point you in the right direction.

I don't think anyone has mentioned going with the "chair-height" models. I've had then in my last couple of personal homes and highly prefer them. However, it does make using a conventional height toilet somewhat awkward when you're at a public restroom. Man, you think you're never going to land.

 

Gerber avalanche, toto drake, caroma anything. In that order.

 

80 percent of clients toilets I use while working in their homes appear to be Toto.:thumbsup:

 

I try to sell this one and mark it up 100%
ha, ha

The throne

 

Gerber avalanche really flushes poop well!
Mansfield is ok and toto is good but not good enough to write a full page story...

 

Toilet for "on the go" professional contractor :thumbsup:
