My mom works at HD and when we were looking for a new toilet the guys in plumbing (working there you find out who actually knows what they're talkin' about) told her that the pressure-tank model didn't do much. We just got a nice Kohler and it works like a champ.

If you want the BMW M5 series of toilets, buy a Vespin or Carlyle Toto toilet and add their G-Max flushing system and SanaGloss Glazing (truely amazing).

my parents have a pressure tank model that beats the crap out of the old high-flows (pardon the pun). it has only clogged once in 5 years, and that was my little brother, who can clog anything. the previous standard low flow toilet in there used to clog like once a day, to give you a reference. the downside is it is pretty loud. it's sort of an explosion type of sound. but it gets the job done, after you gets yours done. ;)

I present to you, the Toto Prominence One Piece Toilet.

Prices:
White - $935.00
Basic - $1,075.25
Premium - $1,402.50

:eek:

That thing looks like one of our old ( Home Depot's ) "toilet in a box" models that were like $60 tank and bottom. I don't see what is so special.

I want a prison toilet. Big ass stainless steel mofo. It will suck down a blanket.

When I buy a house, the first thing I'm changing is the toilet ... a $1,000 Toto and a magazine/newspaper rack.

MY house's bathroom:

Power Toilet
802.11b WAP
Stereo/MP3 with speakers built in and 3 control panels (one in the shower, one next to the TP rack, and one next to sink)
2 phones. 1 with a long cord and one cordless

I'm debating about the mini fridge though.

Oh, and I'll need a 60" Exhaust fan with a 3 HP dayton motor on a belt drive too. (evadman knows what I'm talkin about!)

Well first things first: 802.11b is just because I can ferengi a good deal on the equipment somewhere.

And I'm not sure on speaker qty. Might be 10, might be 3.

If 3, they'll be the size of stonehenge!

I wont need HDTV! I'll have my $1 Dell lappy and a WAP. ATOT is all I need when I'm spending quality (if you can call it that) time on the hopper!

Yeah, aren't toilets in the US regulated as far as GPF now? I love those public ones that have no tanks, just a jet turbine on the other end when you flush - bah-WOOOOOOOOOOSH.

Nicely put heheh :D
