I researched this one quite extensively and wound up buying a Kohler which
uses a small electric pump for pressure assist. It has 2 flush choices, a
weaker blast for liquids, and a stronger blast for solids, selected on the
dual push button switch on the side of the tank. This is a one piece low
profile unit which is called the San Rafael, claimed by Kohler to have the
most powerful residential flush in the industry.
It is within a few feet of a Master Bedroom, and I selected it mostly for
its very low noise level. The only downside I have found is that it needs a
110V outlet/A.C. power. I have a natural gas generator power backup so I
don't worry about losing home power, but this could be a big drawback in a
power outage situation for those without backup power or another toilet.
The unit has been in since early 2000, eight and a half years, and works
flawlessly, and is very quiet.
