TOTO Elongated Toilets – The Best Of Elongated Toilets
TOTO is the high end toilet manufacturer, they have all the cool new toilet products that everyone wants. One of the most popular toilets is the TOTO Neorest One Piece Toilet, this toilet is sleek looking for those high end bathrooms. The tankless design is great for compact spaces and water conservation.
What Are The Benefits Of A Tankless Toilet?
No refilling noise and no waiting for the toilet to refill. Nothing is worse that having to flush again and waiting 5 minutes for the tank to fill up. With the Cyclone Flushing System standard with all TOTO Toilets “reflushing” is not necessary.
What Else Does The Tankless TOTO Toilet Offer?
A front and rear warm water washing, and air dryer. It also features automatic operation, which includes lid opening, closing and toilet flush sensors.
TOTO Aquia CST414M Dual Flush Elongated Toilet
The TOTO Aquia CST414M Dual Flush Elongated Toilet features many of the same great designs as list above, minus the tankless design.
Prices are around $435 or so and this toilet features an elongated skirt design for style, functionality it features a Dual-Max Flushing System and push button flushing which is so much better than handles. The Dual Flush provides a high quality rim wash which keeps stains from forming within the toilet bowl. For those of you looking to conserve water this toilet features a 1.6 GPF or an unheard of 0.9 GPF. You can choose which works best for you.
The 0.9 GPF is great if you have a bathroom where people primarily do #1’s (usually a half bath on a lower level), because the reduced water is a big savings for flushing duty #1.
Overall I would give it a 8/10, some reviewers claimed trouble installing over tiled bathroom floors, requiring you drill a different size(larger) hole and complained the instructions were wrong on this part.
Overall though ratings were positive for the most part.

Heated Elongated Toilet Seats – Toast Those Buns!
I never, never thought I would be looking into getting heated toilet seat for the new Toto elongated toilet I installed. This past summer when we remodeled our bathroom I simply installed one of those normal elongated toilet seats you pickup at Home Depot. Being it was about 80 degrees outside when it was installed I never thought about the winter.
The other morning when I woke up it was really cold in the house(we had yet to turn on the heat). I wandered to the bathroom and sat down. Wow I jumped up so fast I nearly stumbled into the shower! That seat was cold man…
So I went on the internet here and was searching for information about heated toilet seats, come to find out they also make heated toilet seat covers(for those of you who sit on the toilet with the lid closed) or elongated toilet lid covers that are heated, when you are getting ready for work or school etc…
Come to find out very few companies make heated elongated toilet seats, so far I have been able to find one by Kohler, Toto, Ultratouch and Brondell. But out of all those manufacturers I have yet to be able to find one that fits an elongated toilet. If you know of one please let me know, I will pay double.
If I had access to so funds I surely would develop a padded heated toilet seat, for both elongated and regular toilets. I am sure they would sell very well in cold climates.
I guess since to be heated they have to have a source of electricity, and with it being so close to water many companies are scared to tackle the challenge.
With proper research and a team of engineers this big companies have access to I cannot believe coming up with a safe design for a heated seat is that hard, maybe they do not think the demand is out there.
One of the up and coming heated toilet seat products is heated seats that are heated via battery power. Right now it really isn’t practical but as batteries get smaller in size with greater power this may be something we see in our house in the future.

Elongated Toilet Lid Covers
Toilet lid covers provide a way to decorate your toilet and make it match your bathroom. nearly 95% of the toilets sold are white or a shade of white so anything you can do to make them look better and more stylish in your bathroom is a plus. If you own an elongated toilet, make sure you purchase a lid cover that specifically fits elongated toilets. Most will come with an elastic band that allows for a little stretching, but if you buy a standard toilet seat cover it will usually not fit.
Most lid covers are made of a nylon polyester blend and are machine washable. This is great because obviously there is a chance they will need cleaned due to being in the bathroom. Oftentimes you can get matching toilet throw rugs that are on the floor in front of the toilet.
If you sit on your toilet seat lid a lot(maybe while getting ready doing makeup etc…) then a padded toilet lid cover may be best for you.
If you have a heated elongated toilet seat, ensure that you are able to have a toilet lid cover on the heated elongated toilet seats. I would check both with the manufacturer of the toilet seat as well as the lid cover manufacturer.
Hopefully you have found this advice useful and if you have any questions please post a comment below.
