Apartment Therapy's Annual Guide Best Small Toilets 2013 Back in 2006, Maxwell started a list of the best toilets for small spaces. Back then, water saving toilets with small footprints were difficult to find. There are more options today and yet there are still a couple toilets that review the best among readers. Based on reader comments, TOTO seems to be the most popular brand but we also saw shout outs for Kohler, Duravit and others. Check out the full list after the jump... Watch this tip for achieving great storage in your small bathroom: TOTO's Aquia II Dual Flush Toilet is by far the most popular and well regarded toilet. Over the years readers have consistently raved about it for style, quality and dependability. You can find the Aquia for under $400. We have the TOTO Aquia and love it! It's been installed for about 3 years, has never seen a plunger, and rarely do we need to use the #2 flush. Plus, the modern design of the bowl and hidden bolts makes cleaning super easy.
When we did our bathroom remodel, we had really tight dimensions to work with - the floor space is about 4x4 - and I really really wanted the Toto Aquia - great modern lines, great look, dual flush and good reviews - so was crossing my fingers that the Toto Aquia would fit - it did and I absolutely love it! Great flush, single or double. We've had our Toto for 2 years now and only had to pull out the plunger once - which was awkward because you've got a round plunger and an oval cavity. TOTO's Eco Supreme Toilet has a lower profile tank for spaces where that is a concern. Kohler's Rialto, with its low profile tank and sleek one-piece design, has been praised for its durability as well. It sells for around $600.It is compact and flushed well. I would purchase it again if I were re-doing another bathroom. Commenter bepsf pointed out the Persuade model as another space saving option from Kohler. Duravit's wall mounted Starck toilet, designed by Phillipe Starck, is stylish in its simplicity.
It has also gotten high marks from readers. We've been using two wall-mounted Starck 2's for several years now and have never had any problems other than a block of bleach getting stuck in the cistern once and disrupting the water flow. I would definitely buy them again as I like the clean classic lines. If a wall mount won't work for you, Durvit also make a standard one-piece Starck. Porcher's Veneto is another great option that has been praised by readers. Pricing is around $900. Our family loves the Veneto toilet by Porcher too! It's in a 1/2 bath that gets used a lot by kids that sometimes use way too much TP and then only needs to be cleared a couple of times per year. It is also very comfortable, as some seats just aren't. We liked it so much that we purchased an additional one when Expo went out of business and will go in a remodeled master bath someday. Caroma's Brisbane is a two-piece toilet with a round bowl. Retails for around $600. Commenter laffcat says "I just posted on AT about my new Alexis dual-flush toilet from Sam's Club!
Get this - it was $99.00! I did some research and found nothing came close in this price range!"

Do you want a floor mounted toilet? Examine these options before you shop to help narrow your selection and find the best toilet for your bathroom. What to consider when toilet shoppping: Rough-in size: A rough-in is the distance from the wall to the center of the hole on which the toilet is mounted. A rough-in can be 10,” 12” or 14.”
Be certain and measure your rough-in prior to purchasing your new toilet to avoid complications. Toilet type: Toilets come in one or two pieces. One-piece toilets are made for easy cleaning, while two-piece toilets fit in a traditional bathroom. Bowl shape: Toilet bowls can either be round or elongated. Elongated bowls offer modern style, while round bowls are great space-savers. Toilet height: Toilets are available in either standard height or comfort height. A standard height toilet is a lower bowl, and a comfort height toilet is standard chair height. Flush system: A single flush system features a larger trapway, which can reduce or eliminate clogging issues. A dual flush system offers full and half-water flushing, which makes the toilet water efficient. Ferguson associates are the toilet experts.
