If you have back to back toilets, check the drain configuration. A "T" fitting is not recommended as the waste travels straight across fitting and either goes back into the other toilet or sucks the water from the other bowl. Check Toto's info for this issue and what to use. Roly

I finally found this thread: https://forums.woodnet.net/showthread.ph...ght=toilet
I do not like the search function here. American Standard was more or less the recommendation from that thread. This is not a back to back toilet.

Our last house and the one we're in now I had to change the toilets out (3 in each one). I went with Anerican Standard. This was as much as to get the comfort height toilets for my wife (handicapped) as anything else, but I went with the Champion in the first house. They are great toilets with an (as i recall) enlarged flush valve that does just what you want. In the current house I chose a different model and I think it's called the "Saver". It does not have the enlarged flush valve but still does a quick dump and flushes quite well. If you look at the AS line, they do seem to change the model names every once in a while so the may be called something different by now. Another brand that's always mentioned is the Toto line, you might want to look at them as well.
Edit I went back atnd looked at that thread you linked. I replied in that one, but Barnowl reminded of the name of the ones I have now, they were labeled "Cadet 3", and by the time I bought these were renamed "Saver".
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.

I have three Cadet 3s. They work great. The downside is the water doesn't swirl around the bowl, they shoot straight down so they aren't self cleaning. They need a little more cleaning.

They don't use a lot of water though so not sure is it fills your need to clear the line as well as you would like. I have a dozen places that seem to work with the low flow

60 year old house, 6" copper waste line to 6 year old 6" plastic house to septic line. Two toilets connected individually to waste line. Vent is clear to one toilet, second is probably on a Studor vent.
Replaced both with American Standard Cadet three tall units. Less than optimum performance, but better than existing units. Got tired of plunging and bowls not emptying fully. Installed power assist AM Std. toilets. BINGO!!!! Well worth the extra $300 per unit. Only down side is mercy flushing(while still sitting) is an adventure! Initial WOOSH to empty and then swirling flow to rinse.

BTW, with the Cadets: They will dump about 2/3 of the tank by depressing the flush lever. Hold it down for a bout 2 seconds and they will dump the whole tank. Makes a big difference. There's nothing special about the flush valve... it's the basic off the shelf cheap flapper. They perform the way they do because of the way they are cast.. they don't swirl "much" Just a blast of downward water like a commercial toilet.
