Design

First, let us talk about the design of this unit. This model is a two-piece, thus it is much easier to install in a smaller bathroom. Also, the base is lighter, making it easier to move and lift.

What makes this toilet one of the bests on the market is the universal height. Meaning, the height, and the shape comply with the ADA specifications. However, the flushing system works via buttons instead of a lever. This means that the toilet doesn’t fully comply with the ADA specifications. Therefore, it cannot be installed in the restaurants, cafes, and other public places.

As for the appearance, this is Cotton White model. It looks gorgeous and elegant, due to its simple design. You might think that the toilet cannot improve the overall look of your bathroom, but that only means that you don’t have the right toilet. However, that’s about to change with this model.

In case you are looking for something different, then choose the Ebony model. Its dark finish will add a powerful and mysterious touch to your bathroom. There are also a few more colors to choose from – Bone, Colonial White, Sedona Beige, and White, to suits everyone’s taste. So, whichever one you opt for, rest assured that you will love its modern look.

Performance

Thanks to the dual-max flushing system, this toilet uses less amount of water, making it ideal for those who are concerned with their water bill as well as with the environment. There are two flushing options you get to choose how much water will be used. The first one uses 1.6-GPF and the second one uses 0.9-GPF. However, keep in mind that the low flush function may not always leave your toilet clean like the more powerful options will.

Furthermore, the toilet meets the EPA water sense standards. This toilet is highly efficient, contributing to the water consumption.

What’s more, this toilet is quiet. So, you don’t have to worry about the noise. This is a great plus, considering that many toilets on the market make too much noise.
