I absolutely love this Toto! What it disposes of w/ one flush is amazing! I was tied to a plunger w/ my old water-wasting toilet--no more! I replaced the 2 toilets that are used the most--I would definitely buy another for the guest bathroom if/when the need arises. I cannot say enought good about this product!!

Have it installed about 2 weeks now. Very satisfied with how the product works. Two important points.

One, I bought the Drake round toilet, and the seat (not the opening but the part you sit on) is about 1 inch smaller both ways than the toilet I was replacing. Felt small, but getting use to it.

Two, unless I received a defect, be aware the rounded out part by the cone that fits over the flange is not completely hollowed out as most other toilets. While it will sit flat on the floor, if there is any part of the flange that is above floor level, as is true for most installations, you will need to shim the toilet or otherwise address the situation. I shimmed the toilet.

The Toto Drake was recommended to me by a friend who was frustrated with the poor quality of other water saving toilets. I'm so glad I listed to him because the Toto Drake is awesome! My husband and I installed it in two bathrooms and then ordered another for the third. You can't go wrong with a Toto toilet.

It looks good, was easy to install, and performs well. It flushes quickly and efficiently.
Someone else commented that you'll never need a plunger again, but that's not true. It can handle more than most toilets but can still get plugged. It is easy to plunge, however.

 
Toto Power in Every Flush

Pros:
Durable, Good Value, Water Efficient
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easy to install. As with all plumbing projects, don't start it unless the hardware store will be open for the next several hours. The Toto Drake is one of the best flushing toilets that exist, and has the benefits of low water usage as well. This toilet was designed using some very sophisticated computer modelling to deliver the water to flush in a short time window. Then the passage out of the bowl has been optimized to evacuate the water immediately. The 2 1/8 inch diameter trap is probably the largest out there which will eliminate clogged toilets in our house. [$] What a bargain! That's Toto Power!

Service & Delivery comments:

The color we chose was not readily available, but was shipped shortly before the posted time of six weeks. This is reasonable for a custom color, I suppose. The normal tank and bowl boxes were repacked in an outer box with expanded foam packing material surrounding it. Very impressive! Cost with shipping was the lowest that I found even after calling the plumbing supply houses. I would come back to HomeClick again, based on this experience.

Good flush, could be better rinse.
By PaulVerified Purchaser from Chicago, IL on 1/28/2008
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, Sleek Design, Water Efficient
Cons:
Occasional two flushes
Best Uses:
Guest Bathroom
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The toilet flushes very good. Installed easy.
The weird thing is that if you push the handle and let go, then you get the 1 - 1.5 gallon flush, but if you hold the handle down, then you get the full 3 gallon flush.
The reason I bought this product was because I heard that it rinsed well. I think it does a good job at that, but it could be better, sometimes it requires two flushes to get it clean.
I need a second toilet soon, so I might give the one with SanaGloss a try.
As for the softclose seat, it's nice and quiet.

Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I installed the Drake to replace a 25 year old American Standard Cadet, which cracked, in a basement bathroom based upon the reviews of Kohler, American Standard, and other comparable brands. Installation went smoothly, but the instructions are not written for a novice (DIY'er). The only design issue I had during the installation was with the tank to bowl interface. For a novice this could be a challenge. If it isn't done properly, the toilet will leak until the tank is properly aligned on the bowl. A more fool proof design should be looked into. The flush works great in both modes, but sometimes does not completely clean the bowl. When it doesn't, another flush or two is required defeating the purchasing of a more water efficient toilet. Automatic toilet seat is a great. One important point to note is the quality of the parts and construction of the toilet. After looking at other brands, fixing them in my home over the years, their pieces parts in the same price range and construction, ToTo, although not well known, does produce a very competitive product.

not as advertised
By Tired of flushingVerified Purchaser from Williamsburg, VA on 12/16/2007
Pros:

Poor functioning
Best Uses:
Not for any bathroom
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This toilet is attractice, flushes quickly, and quietly, and uses little water. BUT it does NOT do an adequate job! Stuff remains stuck on the walls no matter how many times you flush it! You have to wipe down the walls where it misses, and you have to flush once to know where that is going to be. It flushes and refills so fast that you physically cannot wipe the walls during a flush. I find I have to flush twice, then wipe walls on the third flush, then flush a fourth time to get rid of what finally loosened with wiping the walls. This toilet was NOT offered with their "sani-gloss" finish, which MIGHT have avoided this problem. I did not get what I expected based on adverising claims and other reviews. I still have to multi-flush, usually four times, and since I use the commode three times daily, that is 12 flushes for one person. I should have shopped around more. And there needs to be a way to view a flush before you buy over the internet. I feel tricked AND taken for my money - the commode was about $[$] with sedona beige finish, plus I had to pay for installation. Sorry for the graphics, but people have to know this to make an informed choice.

I have three of the Toto Drakes - round, elongated and elongated tall (ADA compliant). They all share the same critical feature - they work great! There used to be plungers in every bathroom because we had very pretty Kohler one piece designer toilets. Remember: all that glitters is not gold! All toilets are not created equal and the Drakes led the way with 1.6 GPF high flow systems that did NOT use expensive compressed air tanks or other cosmic stuff that your average homewoner cannot maintain. The flush and fill systems the Drakes use are very simple and easily maintained. After more than 6 years on my first two Drakes I had to replace one small part (no tools required and Lowes had the part for less than $2). While not 'designer' toilets, the lines are pleasing and the base is one of the best on the market becuase they are tip and rock resistant.
