We installed 3 of those in our last (1998) house. Now we have 3 more in our
new place.
They've always worked well for us and were highly rated.

I'm replacing toilets now and after all the research, I decided on the Toto.
Use the link Doug provided above and I think you'll find the Toto line is
pretty much tops.
I got my Drake versions from www.homeclick.com (free shipping and they have
8-10% off on a pretty regular basis although be prepared to wait about 3-4
weeks to recieve them).

I've gotten one Toto installed and already I know I can move the plunger
from beside the toilet out to the shed.
Another resource you might try is www.terrylove.com as he has a fair number
of customer comments on the site.
Hope this helped.
Cheers,

I can't speak to the toilet's function but one serious problem I see
from the pictures I found on the web is that you can see the trap. I
replaced a toilet that had a smooth base with one that shows the trap
and it's a PAIN to clean all the ins and outs around the trap and such.
Why can't the base be a nice smooth pedistal?

I installed a Kohler in 2002 and a Am Standard in 2005. Both work well,
but I'd give the AS a slight edge. It seems to have more "oomph" on the
flush.

But you won't go wrong on either. The Kohler uses a tripod
configuration to mount the tank on the bowl, and that makes it much
easier to level it up.

Need more fiber in your diet? Quit eating styrofoam peanuts that arrive with
ebay purchases.
