Replaced a high-end American made product that clogged causing $15000 of damage to the house. This is a superior engineered product that will not clog. Soft close seat is great. Totally satisfied.

Used this in a small half bath and it was perfect for the small space. It is quiet, flushes very well, takes very little water to fill and fills quickly. I would highly recommend this product.

The UltraMax is the ultimate, throw away your plunger after installing this model, this is the third one I have purchased, I wouldn't buy anything else. The included seat is comfortable, and you will never hear it slam down due to the unique slow-close design.Easy installation, good documentation[...] no problems at all.

I recently sold our house, and after we moved into our new home - I wished I had my old toto toilet. The model that I had at the old house is no longer made, so I bought an ultramax thinking it hade the same flush mechanism as my old toto. It does not have the same flush - it is better then my old toto which I thought was the best toilet I ever owned. The ultramax is fantastic! I do wish that I had bought the elongated seat, the round seat is a little small.

The toilet really performs to the levels I had read about prior to purchasing. It has changed the restroom experience from one of doubt, to one of certainty. I am left only wishing other purchases were as much of a slam dunk!

This is a good looking little toilet. It really does flush VERY well, and FAST! It's also quiet. I bought this particular toilet because I wanted one that would not need to be flushed more than once. And this TOTO does that. We discovered that if you flush and let go of the handle, it will only use 1/2 of the tank. If you flush and hold the handle, it will use the entire tank. Great water saver!
The only 'con' is the fact that the bowl, like a lot of european toilets, does not have enough water in it to keep "stuff" from sometimes sticking to it.

So far, so good. Several plumbers tried to talk me out of a Toto toilet. But, after 2 weeks use, I am agreeing with the positive research I personally found. For a high end product with such a good reputation, I am suprised that the toilet seat lid (slow close) is such light weight plastic. I expected it to be more substantial. I love the one-piece design - easy to clean, and looks good.

I already had a Toto toilet and bought two more [...]. They are easy to install (did it myself), quiet, water efficient and look great. I have one in every bathroom. One problem that arose after I installed the first toilet was the valve system in the tank was leaking and it was determined that my high water pressure was causing it. Toto recommends about 45-50 psi and mine is 85-90 psi. I am in the process of getting a plumber out to install a regulator so I can dial back my pressure. A small price to pay for great product.

Cons:
Poorly designed tank top
Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
The tank top is very poorly designed. Rather than fitting on top of the tank, it is affixed by velcro. I didn't know about the velcro the first time I lifted it and it fell off and broke! Although we like the look and the specs, we probably won't be buying a Toto for our master bathroom.

On the advice of my sister (who had purchased one of these Ultramax Toto toilets), I purchased two toilets when I renovated my bathrooms. I couldn't be more pleased. When you flush, everything goes the first time. No need to flush again. I was so impressed with this product that when I needed to replace another toilet in a high rise condo, I purchased a 3rd. The soft-close seat is a bonus.
It's as good as everyone said it was!

I had never seen one of these fixtures in 'real life', but I ordered one based on the favorable online reviews. It seems kind of weird to be excited about a toilet, but I love it! It works as well as I had hoped and it looks great in my new bathroom.
