For whatever it's worth, I replaced one with a Cadet III from American Standard - elongated with the elevated seat and was very impressed with it so I've now replaced two more. I can't recall ever having to re-flush and I really appreciate the height although one of the replacements was the shorter version for my wife - she felt like her feet were dangling. I'm sure others have had good success with other brands but this one has sure worked for me.

The Toto (and the Gerber) really are worth the extra $$ if you are looking to avoid problems, particularly if you have only one toilet in your house. I'm an American Standard Cadet kinda person right now, and that's just because 1) it fits my budget, and 2) I have the energy and strength to deal with clearing it every once in a while. Otherwise, I'd be buying one of these babies and never thinking again about my personal waste removal. As John already said, you really do get what you pay for.
We recently remodelled our bathrooms and bought comfort height toilets. I didn't really do any homework (I know, my bad) so I was a little surprised at the height. I'm 5'5" and when I sit on them, I can't put my feet flat on the floor, just the balls of my toes. Maybe I have short legs, I don't know. It was odd, but I'm getting used to it. (On the other hand, I was thinking about that, and even if I'd sat on one in the showroom, I would have had shoes on, which would have allowed me to keep my feet on the floor.) I don't have any other problems with them. I AM impressed by the flushing ability. We got the 1.5 gallon flushers, and despite using so little water, they do flush well.

Maybe he believes that those who believe in "you get what you pay for" foolishly think that a high price indicates high quality. A high price can be placed on a low-quality product, and there's a sucker born every minute.
You could be right, especially some of the time, but they're not fighting about that. The problem was the insult, or iirc 2 of them.
Insult? Anybody who is that sensitive while participating on usenet had better invest in a big box of tissues. -Chris
I wouldn't know.
An ADA compliant toilet has the necessary height and is an excellent choice, even if you don't yet need the height. Every time my wife's elderly uncle visits us, he thanks us for getting the ADA compliant toilet. My recollection is that the ADA compliant model was not that more expensive than the standard model, at least not so that I didn't think it was worth it, but then I was remodeling the bathroom and wanted a quality finished product.
I got a Toto because of their reputation for quality. Mine is not particularly quiet, but certainly not as noisy as others I have heard.

Well now, the quality of that retort well explains the foolishness of your whole argument. Those are the words of a snot-nosed, 12-year-old brat. I had mistaken you for a poorly educated adult. -Chris
Oops! I thought Tim was just the latest identity change for one of the folks who previously participated in this discussion, but when I Googled him, I see that he has spewed his bile all over usenet for years.
My fault. I should have ignored him. -Chris
