Need updated toilet recommendation
#8
I’m seeking an updated toilet recommendation. I reviewed the most recent thread about high flow toilets but that didn’t seem to meet my need. The other/older threads seem outdated since the most common toilet recommendation, the American Standard Cadet 3 has been discontinued.
What is the current recommendation considering performance, reliability, availability and price? Toto is overpriced in my view. I’m open to other manufacturers.
We’ve not had performance problems with the builder-grade Ferguson toilet other than the porcelain has deteriorated. The current toilet is elongated bowl and chair/ADA height with flange mounting and standard hardware. The current configuration seems ok.
While the discussion is open, are there any advantages/disadvantages of one piece vs. two piece other than housekeeping. We’re amenable to either design.
What’s current thinking and recommendations?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

I’m pretty satisfied with the two Koehler toilets I purchased from Costco. They flush really strong, come with everything you need to install including the seat and are under $200.
Any free advice given is worth double price paid.

Check this, Lowes has plenty of Cadet 3s. If they have I would guess others would as well.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Usually you get an included soft close toilet seat when you buy from stock in the big box stores. You usually won't get that if you order online. Its a cheap toilet seat but better than soaking your cheeks.

BTW.. I've replaced all our toilets with Cadet 3s in this house and our last to house.. Except for Big Blue in the hall bath at the last house. 1980s era throne. My wife wouldn't let me bring it to this house.
