The most expensive toilet is not always better in terms of the characteristics of the middle price segment. You may be overpaying for the brand. Also, all new items are mostly found only in the middle and expensive segment. If you just need a "workhorse", then you can take a closer look at inexpensive models. In terms of strength and durability, they are almost as good as their more expensive brothers, but in appearance they are inferior. We have compiled a rating of toilet bowls in 2020 based on customer reviews, rating of online stores and our knowledge.
Alexander Potapenko, a consultant to a plumbing store, helped to prepare a rating of the best toilets of the year.
Types of toilet attachment
Floor. The fastening type is the most common, classic option. Toilet bowls with a similar design are found in most homes and public places. The structure is fixed to the floor with anchor bolts and clamping nuts.
Attached. Represents a kind of floor-standing toilet. The structure is fixed to the floor, but it is placed against the wall. The cistern is built into the wall and hidden from the user's eyes.
Suspension. This design is compact and fits perfectly into small spaces. For installation, a special installation frame is used, which is mounted together with the cistern in the wall. Outside, there is only the flush button and the bowl itself, which is attached to the frame.
Release design
You should think about how the outlet of the future toilet bowl should look like in advance. The following types are distinguished:
Horizontal. It is located parallel to the floor, connected to the sewer riser, which is at the same level with it. There are difficulties in installing the bowl when aligning the branch pipe with the sewer pipe. Frequent blockages are possible due to the rectangular elbow.
Oblique. This type of outlet is inclined to the floor at an angle of 30 - 45˚. Easily connects to the sewer manifold. Moreover, it can be located at an angle of 0 - 40 ˚ with respect to the branch pipe at the outlet of the bowl.
Vertical. The design assumes an outlet that is directed vertically downward. The sewer pipe is located under the bowl. These toilets consume less water, but are difficult to install and repair.

- hygiene - there is nowhere to accumulate dirt;
- aesthetic appearance;
- noiselessness;
