Our Review Criteria: Flush performance and clog resistance were the first criteria we weighed for every Toto model, followed by water use against the EPA WaterSense 1.28 gallons-per-flush standard. We compared bowl shape and seat height, noting where a model meets the ADA 17 to 19 inch comfort range, along with ease of cleaning and how involved the installation is. For smart and washlet models we weighed the bidet features, the heating method, and whether the unit needs a GFCI outlet. Toto’s published specifications were cross-checked against independent reviews and verified owner feedback. Every recommended model is confirmed as a current product, and we swap in the up-to-date replacement whenever Toto discontinues a line.
The best Toto toilets are simple to shortlist once you settle three things: your rough-in measurement, the bowl shape you want, and whether a plain gravity flush is enough or you want a heated bidet seat.
Toto sells dozens of models across one-piece, two-piece, dual-flush, and integrated washlet lines. The differences that change daily life are the flush design, the seat height, and how much scrubbing the bowl glaze saves you.
We compared five buying scenarios below, from the value two-piece to the tankless Neorest, so you can match a model to your bathroom instead of guessing in a showroom aisle.
Are Toto Toilets Any Good?
Yes, Toto toilets are among the most dependable fixtures you can buy, and the reason is the flush hardware rather than the badge. Toto has manufactured toilets since 1917, and two in-house features do most of the work: CeFiONtect (formerly SanaGloss), a fired-on glaze that stops particles bonding to the ceramic and cuts staining, mold, and algae buildup, and the Tornado Flush.
Tornado Flush replaces the old ring of rim holes with two angled nozzles that spin water around the bowl, so the whole surface gets scrubbed on the way down. Feeding it matters as much as the nozzles: on the Drake, the flush valve measures 3 inches across and empties the tank quickly enough to clear the trap on one press (1).
Toto produces everything from high-end luxury models to budget-friendly fixtures. They manufacture signature lines like the Ultramax and Drake, as well as the Washlet. The Washlet is a high-tech bidet seat featuring heated surfaces and warm water sprays for superior hygiene.
What Types of Toto Toilets Are There?
Toto sells five formats: one-piece, two-piece, wall-hung, the tankless Neorest, and the Washlet bidet seat that upgrades a bowl you already own. Each solves a different mix of budget, cleaning effort, and bathroom size.
One-Piece
One-piece toilets offer a sleek profile and are easier to clean because the tank and bowl are molded together. This eliminates the gap where dirt and bacteria usually hide. They are generally easier to install since you do not have to bolt a tank to a bowl.
If you want a modern minimalist style, a one-piece is a solid choice. Keep in mind that these models are typically more expensive than their two-piece counterparts.
Two-Piece
Two-piece toilets are the traditional standard found in most American homes. The tank and bowl are separate units that you bolt together during installation. While they can be slightly harder to clean due to the seam, they are generally more affordable and easier to move during shipping.
Wall-Hung
Wall-hung toilets take modern design to the next level. The tank is concealed behind the wall, leaving only the bowl floating above the floor. This saves significant floor space and makes mopping underneath a breeze. However, installation is complex and usually requires a professional plumber to rework the wall framing and plumbing.
Neorest
Neorest toilets are the luxury vehicles of the bathroom world. These tankless smart toilets feature automatic lids that open as you approach, heated seats, nightlights, and self-cleaning technologies.
They utilize integrated bidet functions for a hands-free experience. Be prepared for a higher price tag, as the Neorest line represents the pinnacle of Toto’s technology.
Washlet
The Washlet isn’t a toilet itself but an advanced electronic bidet seat that fits onto your existing bowl. It established Toto as a global sanitary leader. Features typically include heated seats, warm water sprayers, air dryers, and deodorizers. It turns a standard toilet into a spa-like experience.
How Do You Choose the Best Toto Toilet?
Choose a Toto by matching four things to your bathroom: the configuration and rough-in it needs, the bowl shape and seat height, the flush volume, and the features you will genuinely use. Work through them in that order and the shortlist gets short fast.
Product Reviews
These five cover the buying scenarios most people land in: a clean-lined one-piece, a value two-piece, a bidet-equipped washlet pairing, a tankless flagship, and a dual-flush model built around its flush. Each is a current Toto you can order today.
Toto Neorest NX2 Dual Flush Toilet
Best Modern Toto Toilet
The Neorest NX2 is the top of Toto’s range and the pick for a fully loaded, design-forward bathroom. It is a tankless integrated smart toilet with a low, sculpted profile that reads more like furniture than a fixture. The dual-flush system runs on just 1.0 or 0.8 gallons, using a siphon jet to keep clearing power high despite the low water volume.
What sets the NX2 apart from a standard bidet toilet seat is its self-cleaning system: ACTILIGHT pairs a UV light in the lid with a photocatalytic, hydrophilic glaze so the bowl breaks down residue and sheds it with water, while EWATER+ mists the bowl and wand with electrolyzed water between uses. You also get the full comfort suite, a heated seat, warm-water washing with adjustable spray, a warm-air dryer, an air deodorizer, a nightlight, and a hands-free auto lid. It is the most expensive way to buy a Toto, and it depends entirely on power, but nothing else in the lineup matches it for technology.
Pros
- Tankless, low-profile statement design.
- Dual flush at 1.0 or 0.8 GPF.
- ACTILIGHT and EWATER+ self-cleaning.
- Full integrated bidet with heated seat and dryer.
- Hands-free auto lid and nightlight.
Cons
- The most expensive toilet in this roundup by a wide margin.
- Tankless operation needs adequate supply-line water pressure.
- Fully dependent on electricity, so a long outage means no smart functions.
- Heavy unit that usually needs professional installation.

Toto Ultramax II One-Piece
Best One-Piece Toto Toilet
The UltraMax II is the one-piece we point most homeowners to first. The tank and bowl are molded as a single skirted unit, so there is no tank-to-bowl seam collecting grime, and the smooth sides wipe down in one pass. The Tornado Flush sends water through two angled nozzles instead of standard rim holes, scrubbing the full bowl on 1.28 gallons per flush.
The bowl carries CeFiONtect glaze, an ion-barrier finish that keeps waste from bonding to the ceramic, so it stays cleaner between scrubs. It sits at Toto’s Universal Height (taller than a standard 15-inch bowl) to meet the ADA range, and the current version is WASHLET+ ready, with a built-in channel that hides the cord and hose if you add a Toto bidet seat later. A SoftClose seat is included. It is a strong fit for a main or guest bathroom where you want low upkeep and a clean modern profile.
Pros
- One-piece body with no seam wipes clean fast.
- Universal Height meets the ADA range.
- WaterSense certified at 1.28 GPF.
- CeFiONtect glaze resists staining.
- WASHLET+ ready with concealed connections.
- SoftClose seat included.
Cons
- A one-piece unit is heavy and awkward to lift during install.
- Costs more than a comparable two-piece.
- A cracked bowl means replacing the whole unit, not just the tank.

Toto Drake
Best Two-Piece Toto Toilet
The Drake is the two-piece we point most budget-minded buyers to, and it is the model that built Toto’s name in American bathrooms. It runs the same Tornado Flush and CeFiONtect glaze as the pricier Drake II, but in a plainer bowl, so you get Toto’s flushing performance for less. It flushes on 1.28 gallons, about 20 percent below a standard 1.6-gallon toilet, through a wide 3-inch flush valve and a siphon-jet bowl that clears the trap in one press.
It sits at Toto’s Universal Height, taller than a standard 15-inch bowl and easier to lower onto and rise from, and the current version ships WASHLET+ ready with a SoftClose seat included, so you can add a Toto bidet seat later and hide the cord. Plan the space and the lift before delivery day: it weighs 94 pounds and measures 28.375 inches deep by 17.1875 inches wide by 30.125 inches tall, over a rough-in of 12 inches (3). The trade-off against the Drake II is the bowl itself: the standard Drake has an exposed trapway with more contours to wipe around, where the Drake II hides its trapway behind a smooth skirt. Pick it when flushing power and price matter more than a showroom-clean silhouette.
Pros
- Tornado Flush and CeFiONtect glaze at a lower price than the Drake II.
- WaterSense certified at 1.28 GPF.
- Wide 3-inch flush valve clears the trap in one flush.
- Universal Height for an easier sit and stand.
- WASHLET+ ready with a SoftClose seat included.
Cons
- Exposed trapway has more contours to wipe than a skirted bowl.
- Wax ring, bolts, and supply line are bought separately.
- The included seat can feel loose until it is snugged down.

Toto Drake WASHLET+ with S2 Bidet Seat
Best Toto Toilet With Washlet
This pairing is the way to get a full Toto washlet experience without stepping up to a Neorest: it bolts Toto’s S2 electronic bidet seat onto the proven Drake two-piece, using the WASHLET+ concealed connection so the cord and supply hose are hidden for a tidy look. Underneath the smart seat you get the Drake’s 1.28-gallon Tornado Flush and CeFiONtect glaze.
The S2 seat handles front and rear warm-water washing with five pressure settings and an oscillating option, a heated SoftClose seat with three temperature levels, a warm-air dryer, an air deodorizer, and a built-in night light. PREMIST wets the bowl before each use so waste struggles to stick, and the wand self-cleans inside and out with EWATER+. Because the heating is instantaneous, the warm-water stream keeps going instead of running cold like a reservoir seat. The controls sit on a panel at the side of the seat rather than on a wireless remote, which keeps the price down but means reaching to the side to adjust. It is the comfort pick of this roundup for anyone who wants spa-level features for far less than a Neorest.
Pros
- S2 WASHLET bidet seat with a concealed WASHLET+ connection.
- Heated SoftClose seat with warm-water front and rear wash.
- Instantaneous warm-water heating that does not run cold.
- PREMIST plus a self-cleaning EWATER+ wand.
- Built-in night light and warm-air dryer.
- Drake 1.28 GPF Tornado Flush bowl underneath.
Cons
- Needs a nearby GFCI outlet to run.
- Two-piece seam and a bolt-on seat, not a single molded unit.
- Side-panel controls rather than a wireless remote.
- Electronics add more potential failure points than a basic toilet.

Toto Aquia IV Two-Piece
Best Flushing Toto Toilet
The Aquia IV is for the buyer who cares most about how water moves through the bowl. It uses Toto’s Dynamax Tornado Flush, which routes all of the flush water through the rim in a swirling, hole-free pattern rather than through old-style rim holes, so it scrubs a wider area, runs quieter, and clears the bowl more completely on a single press.
It is a dual-flush, skirted two-piece, giving you 1.28 gallons for solids or 0.8 gallons for liquids, and the smooth skirt hides the trapway so there are fewer ridges to wipe around. The bowl carries CeFiONtect glaze, and the toilet is WASHLET+ ready, with a routed channel that conceals the cord and hose if you add a Toto bidet seat down the line. It ships as the toilet only, so the seat is a separate purchase. Pick it when flushing performance and a clean skirted look matter more than a tall comfort-height seat.
Pros
- Hole-free Dynamax Tornado Flush scrubs the full bowl.
- Dual flush at 1.28 or 0.8 GPF.
- Skirted design hides the trapway for easy cleaning.
- CeFiONtect glaze resists staining.
- WASHLET+ ready for a future bidet upgrade.
Cons
- Standard height sits lower than the Universal-height picks.
- Sold as the toilet only, so the seat is bought separately.
- Skirted bolt covers make removal fiddlier than an exposed-trapway toilet.

Toto Toilets FAQs
Which Toto Toilet Should You Buy?
Buy the Drake if you want Toto’s flushing performance for the least money, the UltraMax II if a one-piece with no tank seam to scrub matters more, and the Aquia IV if flush design is the part you care about. Step up to the Drake WASHLET+ or the Neorest NX2 only if you genuinely want a heated seat and warm-water washing, because that is what the extra outlay buys.
Before you order, measure your rough-in (the distance from the finished wall to the center of the floor bolts, usually 12 inches), confirm the bowl shape and seat height suit the people using it, and check whether the model needs a GFCI outlet nearby. Get those three right and the installation is the easy part.
