My house is 25 years old, which means it has the first generation of toilets meeting the then new federal mandate for water conservation. What _that_ means is if you use more than two sheets of toilet paper, the damned things clog up. I know the technology has changed radically in 25 years and new toilets that meet the mandate work a lot better. So I want to upgrade. The question is, what do I want to look for in the way of features? For example, the OrangeBigBoxStore has 6 Kohler models alone that run from approximately $330 down to $160, and the description cards on the shelves say almost the same things for each model. The only advice the Helpful Person could offer me was "Don't buy the most expensive and don't buy the cheapest." Right. So what do I want to see printed on the box or on the shelf card to know I'm getting a good, efficient, toilet? TIA...

This link is entitled "How to choose a toilet". I have 2 American Standard Cadet 3 toilets and I am extremely satisfied. I bought one during a bathroom remodel and after using it for a year, I replaced my other toilet with one. We've never had a clog in either toilet after years of use. Watch the video available at that site. AS also has a Champion 4 line which looks like a higher end series than the Cadet 3. That might even be better than mine.
