Anyone know where American Standard makes their toilets? I was peeking at
the Toto, and although they look wonderful at 400 bucks they're way outside
my range. So I'm looking at the stuff I can get locally and am wondering
which manufacturer, besides Toto, makes their products in the US or Canada.

I remember getting into this problem when looking at faucets and finding
that only one manufacturer made their stuff in the US, Kohler I think it
was.

Have you checked http://www.homeclick.com? They have Toto's starting
at $175.

I recommend supporting Kohler whenever you have the opportunity. They
are one of the few remaining US manufacturing companies and provide
excellent support as noted in my Kohler engines support (same company)
post a week or two ago. Not many companies provide support for a 32 year
old product, much less service manual PDFs with overnight response at no
charge.

I'll take a closer look then. I found one that looks promising, now it's
just a matter of plopping down on it and seeing if it fits.

BTW: I keep seeing Comfort Height and presume that it means the bowl is
higher than normal - but would it be enough of a difference that little kids
would be uncomfortable using it?

I don't think so, since little kids have to climb a bit anyway. The
comfort height ones are largely for the more elderly folks where sitting
down and getting up is more of an issue and a higher seat means less
bend.
