Listed below are 6 high performance toilets that offer great value for money backed up by the world’s best toilet brands. In our review we focused first and foremost on flush performance. We wanted to find toilets that do not clog however heavily they are used. In particular we have chosen toilet models that clear away all wastes in a single flush.
Factors like trapway diameter, siphon jet design and flush valve size are vital when it comes to flush performance. We also kept an eye on the size of the water spot or water surface (which is the amount of water held in the bowl between flushes) so that you can avoid those messy streaks and stains.
Aesthetic and style considerations also came into our analysis but only after we determined quality as described above. When it comes to water consumption all the toilets in the review use 1.6 gallons per flush or less which is far less than toilets manufactured before 1994.
