TOTODrake Two-Piece Elongated 1.6 GPF TORNADO FLUSH Toilet with CEFIONTECT, Cotton White - CST776CSG#01

First of all, this is a 5 star toilet. If you look at the 1 star reviews bringing the overall score down, they are ALL due to shipping problems: those buyers received broken parts. Those reviews have nothing to do with the quality of the toilet.Perhaps those buyers purchased from a different seller. Mine was impeccably packaged. Both tank and bowl were separately packaged with plenty of protection, then those two boxes were in a larger box that was stuffed with protection.Installation was easy. I'm a 68 year old man and I've worked in construction but this was only my second toilet installation. I used a "Better than wax" seal to make things easier. I installed the bowl first, then the tank. This made installing the tank a little more challenging (I had to lie down on the floor and squeeze under to access the bolt nuts.) But I knew that would be the case. I did it that way so I would only have to lift the bowl to attach to the floor. (The bowl is around 60 pounds, the tank around 30 pounds. At 68, I'd prefer not to lift 90 pounds!)The tornado flush is uber-efficient, and takes about 3 seconds. It takes 30 seconds for the tank to refill.The CEFIONTECT works great. When I get up to pee at night I don't flush so I don't wake my wife. Even after a month of that the bowl looks pristine.I've seen several YouTube videos where plumbers rave about the Toto Drake, calling it hands down the best toilet on the market in this low price range. If, after years of use, I have some reason to change this review, I will. Until then, I very highly recommend this toilet.

Looks great and works flawlessly—it arrived without a crack or chip, thanks to TOTO’s excellent packaging. Having it delivered saved me hours and fuel. Most importantly, while TOTO is a Japanese company, the Drake model is manufactured in the USA (Georgia and California), delivering outstanding quality with domestic craftsmanship.

It’s true that this indeed may be a superb toilet if one were to get one not broken in dozens of pieces. I have ordered TWO of these now via Amazon and they both came completely shattered. The Amazon delivery guy was literally throwing it around and turning the box upside down, etc. also not easy to return as they are heavy and bulky. I guess it is a mistake to order a toilet on Amazon although maybe just my bad luck with not one but two consecutive.

OMG, this toilet is amazing! My teen son constantly plugged up our other toilet, but not this one! It's truly incredible. If you're looking for a super-flusher, you found it!

I ordered two of these toilets. One came perfect. The other came busted because Amazon used UPS for shipping. For me UPS usually breaks 50% of the stuff I have shipped. As for the toilet, I think it's wonderful. It comes with everything you need for installation except for the wax ring and the toilet seat. But it's very well-made and I like the hurricane effect when you flush it. Amazon replaced the broken one, and now I have two of them installed. I would buy this one again as long as it's not shipped UPS. If you buy the extra help and delivery to inside your house, Amazon will deliver it themselves. Then you have a much better chance of it being in perfect shape and not cracked.

latterly the powerful flush on this toilet pulls the flapper valve apart after just a few flushes, access is easy and after digging the 1 to 2 parts out of the toilet tank its easy to resemble and put back in place, 30 seconds or so. So I determined I needed a new flapper unit, well it was difficult to find the correct part, and am not sure I want another engineered so poorly. My solution after several hours lookng for new parts, was to take some "Show GOO" and just glue the part on that holds the flapper gasket in place, this Click to install system is easy but a rather STUPID design. The toilet overall works great, flushes better and stays cleaner as advertised, just shocked they would include such a simple and inferior part in their system. Highly recommend if they reengineer this part if not get your self some shoe goo.
