Reviewers say the TOTO UltraMax MS854114S is the best one-piece gravity toilet on the market. Though it's not as powerful as the Gerber Ultra Flush 21-312 (*est. $325), the TOTO works well in homes with lower water pressure. Also, because it doesn't use any fancy technology in its tank, the TOTO is easy to maintain and repair, experts say. Engineers, consumers and plumbers alike repeatedly give this toilet high marks for its powerful flush, and the softclose seat receives kudos for eliminating the loud clanking associated with a dropped toilet seat. Finally, this toilet's one-piece design makes it easier to clean than two-piece toilets. If you don't like the expense of a one-piece toilet, you may want to consider the two-piece TOTO Drake CST744S (*est. $225), which also gets high marks from reviewers.
The TOTO UltraMax MS854114S is tested by a variety of sources, including the National Association of Home Builders, Love Plumbing and Remodel, and Toolbase Services.
