I was worried about shipping a toilet by FedEx, but the way it was packaged it was quite well protected. I'm pleased.

"Amazing Toilet. I'll never buy anything other than a Toto ever again." PROS: Easy to Install,Great Design,Functional,Works Great OTHER THOUGHTS:   VERY strong and effective flush. We redid our master bath and used this toilet based on many good reviews. It exceeds every expectation that I could have. Install was easy and straightforward. The flush is VERY fast and powerful, yet uses only 1.6 gallons per flush. It is VASTLY more powerful and effective than an American Standard Cadet 3 that I installed upstairs only 2 years ago. This is really significant when one considers that the Cadet 3 has a total horizontal run of only 3 feet to the main vertical sewer stack and is vented directly to the roof. The Toto Drake has a HUGE horizontal run of 25' to the main horizontal run to the street and is merely vented with a single air admittance valve. There is no comparison between the two. The Toto Drake is vastly faster and more powerful. We still own a plunger but no longer keep them in any of the bathrooms - they just won't be needed anymore.

"Great Toilet" PROS: Easy to Install,Great Design,Functional,Works Great OTHER THOUGHTS:   I had read many good reviews and a few bad reviews about the Toto toilet. This toilet works great. A few reviews talked about the toilet having to be brushed after use. I have not had this problem and the toilet always flushes everything away on the first flush. Also half of this toilet (the tank) was made in the US. Many of the US brands are totally made in overseas. This is a great product and was very well packaged to avoid any breakage.

"None" PROS: Installed my mail-order Toto Drake last week and am happy to say it went in well and works as advertised. I got very tired of the stuff going round and round and wondering if it would go down. And now it just burps a little and its all gone, whoosh. Hardly any sound, very quiet and it refills very quickly. One quick flush rather than two or three. Date Reviewed: Apr 28 2009 4:26PM Overall Rating:   Ease of Install: Flush Rating:

"Great Toilet" PROS: The toilet is sleek, uses very little water, is relatively quiet, and FAST! No waiting around to see if everything goes down -- it is GONE in a jiffy. It is also easy to install; the directions are very clear. CONS: More than I wanted to spend on a toilet, but worth every penny. It does not come with a seat or wax ring; you have to buy those separately. The instructions contain the wrong measurements; the dimensions are for the elongated bowl even though I bought the round bowl. So I had to be careful when buying the seat. OTHER THOUGHTS:   I was very impressed that nationalbuildersupply.com has free shipping over $100 even for a 98-lb. toilet! It arrived fast and packed extremely well. No cracks, chips or missing pieces. Extremely satisfied and have already recommended it to family and friends. Date Reviewed: Mar 23 2009 2:15PM Overall Rating:   Ease of Install: Flush Rating:

"None" REVIEW:   I LOVE THIS TOILET! Its flush is very quick and very quiet. And everything always goes down in one flush.

"None" REVIEW:   I installed the Toto Drake last year based on rave product reviews. Although its clog rate is lower than my Kohler low-flush, unclogging it is awful. Due to the ridges in the bowl, a standard plunger cannot get good closure on the bowl. Splashing of unclean water is unpreventable if this toilet clogs, so you need both a plunger and a mop to unclog it. My next toilet will have a smooth bowl. As far as installation goes, it was easy except that the flange I was installing it on protruded from the floor by about 3/8 inch. Due to the limited clearance around the throat of the outlet, I was required to put the toilet up on a plywood shim to prevent it from rocking on the flange. Other toilets I have installed have more clearance around the outlet. Date Reviewed: 9/14/2007 Overall Rating:   Ease of Install: Flush Rating:
