About this pillar

What makes a toilet “best” depends on who’s asking.

The “best toilet” doesn’t exist. The best toilet for a 5′2″ grandmother with arthritic knees is not the best toilet for a tall person with a tiny bathroom. So we don’t have one best — we have a guide for each kind of person, each kind of space, each kind of budget.

Every recommendation on this site is judged against the same eight criteria — flushing performance, water efficiency, build quality, installation difficulty, warranty, total cost of ownership, and verified long-term owner sentiment. Read the methodology →
