Lloyd One Piece Toilet, 1.6
From humble beginnings in 1917 Japan, TOTO is now the largest toilet maker in the world (that's 7 million annually). They are also now a growing presence in the US, and we admire them for their sleek, space saving designs and chuckle mightily at their "legendary flushing performance" and their new "Washlets" and "Neorest" toilets that seek to remove toilet paper from the bathroom forever. Click here to learn about this sensual, luxurious experience with "the wand."
Available through local dealers, there is a new showroom on Mercer Street. If you are in a small apartment situation and you don't want to go Duravit or Italian, TOTO should be checked out. Below are a few of our picks.

to be blunt...toto sucks. just visit totosucks.com if your not sure. When it comes to toilets you have to stay American and go with the Champion 4.... 10 year warranty inside and out! Oh and at 1000 grams...its the gift that keeps on taking.
shapirodave: totosucks.com was apparently a short lived idea since the domain is dead now. (barely a year later)
I'm no toilet expert but it seems a simple case of fixing any of the problems I've seen listed above in 2 1/2 years. Flapper hole blew out? Drill a new one and connect the chain with a paper clip. Do you need someone to customerly service your hand for every product you're ever purchased? I hope not.
I just bought a new Aquia and it is obviously more technically evolved than most toilets I've dealt with, however I anticipate no immediate problems. I would expect it to be more evolved considering it has 2 flush modes.
I personally love the human driven extensions of our need for effieciency and convinence we call technology. Whether a bit of tech is abusrd and dissapears a year later or lasts for centuries like say, a pencil. I enjoy the persuit of making our lives easier and more comfortable through whatever devices.
For Toto's sake and the persuit of technology: Intelligence Toilet II. "The new “II” is equipped with all of the original health monitoring features (urine sugar analysis, blood pressure check, BMI and body weight measurement), plus an additional function designed to appeal to women: urine temperature measurement and analysis. "

It may be short lived and seemingly silly to most people (including me), but it's the thought that counts right? It could be the dumbest idea ever but at the same time it might have unthinkable consequences for human evolution ever thought of at its conception.
I also think it's obvious that it doesnt matter what country its made in either. Saying I need an american made CHAMPION 4 to me is like saying I need a Ford Dominator F650 to "get the job done".
I like my Toto Aquia and it's not even installed yet. If it malfunctions I'll be a resourceful human and figure out how to fix it.
Apparantly buying a Toto is a "crap" shoot. I spent my $400 for a fancy Promenade, and it runs continuously. My contractor changed the flushing mechanism twice. It can't be fixed. Mr Wick, when I spend $400 on a toilet, I expect it to work! I'm not intending to fix it. That's absurd! I'm intending on putting the piece of crap in the alley and buying a Kohler - or put back my 75 year old american standard that always worked. STAY AWAY FROM TOTO! Unless you love to gamble with your hard earned money.
