Getting Started
Choosing a toilet will require that you consider your needs and desires in order to identify the toilet best-suited to your requirements and to the reality of your bathroom. This toilet buying guide will help you do that.
To begin, consider these questions:
1. What type of bathroom will your toilet serve? You might choose different functionality for different bathrooms, like cleansing or bidet functionality for a master bath but easy-to-clean designs for a kids' bath.
2. Are you replacing a toilet or are you remodeling an entire bathroom? For a replacement toilet, you may want to choose the same footprint so it fits the space exactly, without gaps or visible marks on the floor.
3. Who will be using this toilet and do they have special needs? For example, you might consider taller than average toilets if someone in your home has difficulty sitting or standing or if you are updating your toilet in anticipation of future needs.
4. Have you considered a toilet with bidet functionality? Toilets that offer personalized cleansing are redefining the way people think about their private rituals.
5. How would you describe the style of your bathroom? Toilets come in many styles and colors, so you can either match or complement your existing bathroom's design details.
