Toto (Drake) Ultra. It's low flow, doesn't have a noisy power flush, and I
can't even remember where the plunger is. Couldn't say that about my old
water waster.

Haven't had any problems with Kohler Wellworth and the Toto is just awesome.
Some of the no name, cheap ones are pretty good too. Standard is 1.6 gal,
don't know about the ultra low flush around 1 gal.

In any case, my preference is Toto.

Google this group for "Toto" and/or "Toto Drake". Enjoy.

Many areas have rebates available for switching to a low flow toilet. Check
with your municipality or water company. If a rebate is available you might
as well pick from one of the approved models, if there is a specific list,
or ensure you pick one that meets the listed specifications.

Check carefully. In order to qualify for the rebate you may need to
pull a building permit, which will cost money and possibly require more
upgrades.
