The unique Niagara Flapperless N2226 toilet eliminates flappers (or any other type of flexible seals), meaning you don't have to replace these parts as you would with ordinary toilets. This theoretically maintenance-free toilet uses an economical 1.6 gallons of water per flush (gpf), and receives positive reviews from owners posting their opinions online, as well as good ratings from the Maximum Performance (MaP) Testing of Popular Toilet Models 15th Edition. This toilet is available through the manufacturer, and is comparable in price to the Toto Drake CST744S (*Est. $255).
The Niagara Flapperless N2226 is reviewed by two sources: Niagara Conservation (which manufactures this toilet) and, more objectively, the Maximum Performance (MaP) Testing of Popular Toilet Models, 15th Edition. We didn't find many user ratings for this toilet.

Testers flushed soybean paste encased in a latex membrane "similar to a sausage" or uncased media to test the performance of hundreds of toilets. The Niagara Flapperless N2226 flushes 400 grams of solid waste per flush.

Niagara Conservation Corporation manufactures high-efficiency resource-conserving products such as ultra-low-flow toilets. The site features the two toilets the company currently manufactures: the Niagara Flapperless and the more water-efficient EcoLogic. The toilets, which have a permanent 1.6- or 1.28-gallon flush, can decrease water usage by 50 percent compared to traditional fixtures. There are also some nice resources for those seeking information on energy-conserving toilets, including a Tests and Report Data page with links to several studies.
