Costco Toilet 150 MaP ?

Question

Costco has a one piece Milim Globe Ridge Water Rdge # 386082 toilet reduced from $280 to $164.

It has a rating of 150 MaP which is how many grams of waste it removes in a single flus.

I believe that 150 MaP is really low and that this toilet would often need to be plunged.

They say it lhas a large fully glazed trap. The trap way Min is 1 3/4 "

It is a dual flush HET High Efficiency Toilet

Costco usually dowsn't sell junk and was considering purchasing it, if there were any problems they have a excellent return policy, but then again do I want to remove it and reinstall another one?

Is this junk? Should I waste my time?

Seems like the trap diameter is rather small to be as efficient as itshould. It might be perfect for a family of very small people who eatlight. More research is indicated.Joe

few extra bucks for something that will last 30 years or more.

Wow, one (small) turd at a time. That would be a lot of mid-stream flushing for most of us!

I'd agree with that.

I guess their definition of 'large' and the rest of the world's definition varies by a large amount (sorry, could not resist)

Only when not used. Used, it would probably take about five flushes to match a standard toilet.

Well...

I can see it now:

"I'd like to return this toilet, it doesn't work well." "Have you used it?" "Of course" "Next in line, please!"

It's your time. You decide. I think you really know the answer, right?

That version of the MaP report is from March 2007, and does notlist the Costco one piece toilet in question.Here's a newer version (January 2008), with the Costco Waterridge EL 1-piece listed with the horrendous 150 MaP:"...minimum (250 grams) waste removal performance...recommended by MaPTesting""...minimum (350 grams) waste removal performance...specified by theU.S. Environmental Protection Agency for their WaterSense Program " too, saw that 1-piece toilet at Costco and thought hey this looksgreat, and 1/2 the price of the Toto Ultramaxes (MaP 700) I recentlybought for our 9-unit apartment building. Glad I checked online first!I haven't used the Toto Ultramax but at least one tenant has said theylove it, compared to the Kohler Wellworth ELs (MaP 250) theyreplaced.I also was surprised Costco would carry such a badly ratedproduct....I would suspect this is a case of sloppy or no researchthat slipped through at Costco, rather than a new trend (I hope!)2) More accurately:  "Buy a toilet...
