I plan on buying a new Toilet this weekend. My current Toilet is a Sterling from 2010. I don't know the exact model of it, but it has seen better days and it is just completely wore out. I plan on either buying a Glacier Bay One Piece or the Kohler Highline Arc One Piece.

I am fairly convinced I am going to buy a One Piece Toilet due to how sleek they look and how dust can't build up in hard to reach cracks. I'm not going to break the bank but if someone can help me make a final decision on which one I'll be buying that would be great.

I've got an older 1970's Kohler that's still going strong.
Remember those 6-7 gallon Full Flush models made before all that "water conservation" crap?

The thing to consider is, I've heard from neighbors that they had to pay a plumber multiple times to clean out their sewage pipes leading out to the street main - an expensive procedure.
Because the toilet paper and crap gets clogged under the house's pipe because not enough water pushes the crap though, it sticks, builds up, then you've got a problem.

So, I'll stick to the old style flush.
At least I know that the "crap" makes it out to the street in one flush. :LOL:
 
My "favourite" toilet was an old Armitage Shanks dual flush Syphonic Toilet, which used syphonic action to suck the crap and paper down, so was nigh on impossible to block. Sadly, although with their dual flush they were originally considered water saving, they've been banned because they used too much water, I think up to about 9 litres if you held the handle down for a full flush on some models.

If/ when I replace one of my toilets, I'll be looking for a concealed tank one, where the pan butts up to the wall, all the way to the bottom, so it is easier to clean round.
