Caroma Caravelle 305

Pros
  • Dual-flush system saves on water bills
  • Easy-to-use push buttons
  • Powerful, efficient
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Low water level
 
 
 
 

The Caroma Caravelle 305 toilet's dual-flush system uses 0.8 gallons of water for liquid waste and 1.6 gallons of water for solid waste, about 25 percent less than a regular, 1.6 gallons-per-flush toilet. The Caroma Caravelle earns the EPA's WaterSense label due to its lower water usage. Reviewers say this toilet's low-profile push buttons are easy to operate, with molded symbols so your fingers can find them in the dark. However, although the Caroma Caravelle is very efficient and powerful, reviewers note a couple of drawbacks: because its water level is so low, it may need more frequent cleaning, and odor could be an issue.

The most convincing tests of the Caroma Caravelle 305 toilet are discussed in the Maximum Performance (MaP) Testing of Popular Toilet Models, 15th Edition. Users discuss the Caroma Caravelle 305 at TerryLove.com.

In this most up-to-date test, toilets are analyzed using specific and standard items so each toilet gets a fair evaluation. For example, tests are performed on each toilet to determine the capacity of material that can be flushed. The Caroma Caravelle 305 removes 500 grams of solid waste per flush.
