10 best toilet bowls

When we are faced with the choice of the toilet? When repairing, most often - or if it breaks (the armature fails or something falls on the bowl ...). And it seems to many that choosing a toilet for the house - just to spit, go and buy, what's the difficulty? And then such exclamations appear on the forums: “It seems that in every store they make their toilet bowls, there are so many different modifications everywhere. It turns out that the choice of a toilet bowl is also a problem! ”So in order for you not to have such a problem, check out our rating. It is based on the analysis of the opinions of customers and on these online stores. But first...

Criteria for choosing a good toilet

First of all, you need to pay attention to the technical characteristics:

• The way to connect to the sewer. The toilet can be connected to the drain pipe obliquely (oblique), horizontally or vertically. The first two types are the most popular. The method of connection is determined by the direction of output in the back of the toilet. Some models have a universal outlet - it can be connected to any sewage system (through a corrugation, a straight pipe or a corner). Such toilet bowls are more expensive. But they get rid of the agony of choice.
• Bathroom area. It depends on it type and size of toilet bowl. In separate or combined toilets of a small area, in the bathrooms it is better to put a suspended toilet or compact.
• The material of the toilet and fixtures. It is better to take porcelain or earthenware, do not experiment with materials. Fastenings can be metal and plastic. The first is safer. Therefore, for example, seats with metal mounts are more expensive.
• Rebar quality. In cheap models can be installed the same cheap plastic fittings. You will save on the purchase, but spend time and effort on setting up, and then, perhaps, on frequent repairs.

The remaining parameters are simply listed:

• water connection type (bottom, side - with the help of a flexible liner, adapters, water connection is no longer a problem, some models have two holes at once - a universal connection);
• bowl shape, the presence of shelves - the choice is determined by your requirements for appearance and wishes regarding the spray;
• drain method, the presence of a saving mode;
• additional functions (Bidet function, seat with microlift, water disinfection system, etc.).

We advise you to invite a plumber and find out with him all the technical details, and then read our rating carefully. Good luck with your choice!
