Best TOTO Toilets of 2026: All Models Ranked

The TOTO Drake is the toilet that built TOTO's reputation with working plumbers in North America, and independent MaP flush testing confirms it deserves that standing. At a perfect 1,000-gram MaP score using just 1.28 gallons per flush, it clears more waste in a single flush than most of its rivals while using less water than older 1.6-gallon models.

The G-Max flush system works by pairing a wide 3-inch flush valve with a 2-1/8 inch fully glazed siphon-jet trapway. When the valve opens, a large, fast volume of water enters the bowl and pulls waste through the trap in one forceful motion rather than relying on swirling for thoroughness. Owners consistently describe it as a "powerful pull" rather than a "weak swirl," and clog reports are notably rare in aggregated reviews even in households with mixed flushability habits.

The Drake is a two-piece toilet, which means a tank-to-bowl seam that collects grime. The trade-off is lower weight, easier installation and a broader range of available seat accessories, including TOTO Washlet bidet seats that mount directly to the bowl. TOTO also offers the Drake with optional CeFiONtect ion-barrier glaze, which repels particles and mineral deposits and measurably reduces how often the bowl needs scrubbing.

The Drake II is the direct evolution of the original Drake, carrying the same G-Max flush system and identical 1,000-gram MaP rating into a taller comfort-height bowl and a slightly more contemporary aesthetic. If you already know you want Drake-level power but prefer a modern bowl profile and the option of CeFiONtect glaze as standard, the Drake II is where TOTO put the next-generation packaging around the proven engine.

The performance story between the Drake and Drake II is essentially identical: both hit 1,000 grams on the MaP flush test at 1.28 gallons per flush, and both use the G-Max 3-inch flush valve with a wide, fully glazed trapway. What the Drake II adds is a taller bowl that meets the Americans with Disabilities Act recommended seat height range of 17 to 19 inches, which owners in households with older adults or mobility considerations consistently cite as the deciding factor.

CeFiONtect glaze is available on the Drake II across a wider range of base SKUs than the original, which matters because the nano-particle ion barrier genuinely reduces how quickly mineral scale and stains build up in hard-water areas. Owners in those regions frequently note that the CeFiONtect bowl looks noticeably cleaner at the same cleaning frequency compared to standard-glaze porcelain.

The TOTO UltraMax II is the pick for owners who want a clean, minimal aesthetic and a bowl that resists buildup between cleanings. Its Tornado Flush system replaces traditional rim holes with two powerful nozzles that spin water around the full bowl circumference in a cyclonic motion, and its seamless one-piece body with CeFiONtect glaze gives dirt far fewer surfaces to cling to. Owners consistently describe the bowl as "staying clean longer" compared to their previous toilets.

The Tornado Flush nozzles direct water at an angle rather than straight down, creating a rim-wide centrifugal rinse that reaches the parts of the bowl that straight-down rim jets miss. The trade-off versus G-Max is a lower MaP score at 800 grams versus 1,000 grams, but for households without a pattern of heavy-duty flushing, 800 grams is more than adequate and the cleaner bowl experience is a genuine daily quality-of-life improvement.

The one-piece body means there is no seam between tank and bowl where bacteria and mineral scale accumulate. Combined with CeFiONtect's nano-particle ion barrier, the UltraMax II's exterior and interior stay cleaner at the same cleaning frequency. It pairs with every TOTO Washlet seat, which is a key consideration for anyone planning to add a bidet seat now or later.

The TOTO Aquia IV is the model to choose when cutting water consumption is the primary goal. Its dual-flush Tornado system offers a 0.8-gallon partial flush for liquid waste and a full 1.0-gallon flush for solids, both of which sit below the standard WaterSense threshold and among the lowest GPF figures available in a full-size residential toilet. Over a year of daily use, the water savings versus a 1.28-gallon model are measurable.

The Aquia IV uses the same Tornado Flush nozzle architecture as the UltraMax II, which means that despite its very low 0.8-gallon partial flush volume, the water enters the bowl at speed and covers the entire circumference rather than pooling in one spot. Owner reviews on the partial flush note that it clears liquid waste cleanly without the weak trickle owners sometimes report from budget dual-flush models.

The 1.0-gallon full flush reaches 800 grams on the MaP test, which is a strong result at that volume and reflects the efficiency of the Tornado Flush delivery system. For comparison, many toilets need 1.28 gallons to hit 600 grams. If your household actively manages water consumption or you are in an area with tiered water pricing, the Aquia IV is the most efficient TOTO model available without moving into pressure-assist territory.

The TOTO Vespin II is engineered from the outset as a system component: a toilet built to receive a TOTO Washlet bidet seat at the same time or in the future, with a skirted tank and concealed trapway that give it the clean lines expected in a high-end bathroom pairing. Its Tornado Flush system at 1.28 GPF hits 800 grams on MaP testing, and CeFiONtect glaze is standard.

Where the Drake and Drake II prioritize raw flush performance and the UltraMax II prioritizes cleaning simplicity, the Vespin II prioritizes the complete bathroom system experience. Its concealed trapway and skirted tank create a visual foundation that makes sense next to a Washlet seat, turning what is usually a utility fixture into a considered design piece. Owners who have installed a Washlet seat note the hardware proportions and color matching are seamless in a way that aftermarket bidet seats on standard toilets rarely achieve.

The Tornado Flush at 1.28 GPF and CeFiONtect glaze are the same specification as the UltraMax II, so day-to-day flushing and cleaning performance are equivalent to that model. The difference is format: the Vespin II is a two-piece, which reduces weight for installation while maintaining the skirted aesthetic. If you are planning a bathroom upgrade and want to add a Washlet now or later, this is the starting point TOTO recommends.

The TOTO Carlyle II takes the UltraMax II's one-piece Tornado Flush formula and expresses it through the Carlyle's distinctive high-tank silhouette that has been a recognizable fixture in design-forward bathrooms for years. It carries the same 800-gram MaP score and 1.28-gallon flush as the UltraMax II, paired with CeFiONtect glaze and Universal Height seating, but the visual statement is noticeably more assertive.

The Carlyle II's flush and cleaning performance are functionally identical to the UltraMax II because they share the same core specification: Tornado Flush nozzles, 1.28 GPF, CeFiONtect glaze, and a rimless bowl. Where it differs is the aesthetic weight of the high-tank one-piece form, which sits more prominently in a bathroom and reads as a design element rather than a utility fixture. Owners with master bathroom renovations frequently mention the Carlyle II as the piece they built the rest of the design around.

At this position, the Carlyle II competes with premium Kohler and American Standard one-piece models that offer similar flush performance. The differentiator is the Tornado Flush's self-rinsing bowl quality and the nano-particle glaze, which owners in those comparisons consistently rate as superior for long-term cleanliness.

The TOTO Entrada is TOTO's accessible entry-level model, positioned to bring the brand's core G-Max flush engineering to buyers who cannot stretch to Drake positioning. It uses a modified G-Max system that hits 800 grams on the MaP test at 1.28 gallons per flush, carries EPA WaterSense certification, and maintains TOTO's manufacturing quality standards at a notably lower cost than the Drake.

The Entrada is the right answer for buyers who want TOTO build quality and flush reliability without paying Drake positioning. Its 800-gram MaP score is strong by any measure, outperforming many name-brand competitors that cost significantly more, and the 1.28-gallon G-Max delivery still provides a decisive, clean flush in standard residential use. Owner reviews at this positioning consistently praise it as significantly outperforming its market segment.

The trade-offs versus the Drake are real but limited to the use cases where they matter: no CeFiONtect means the standard glaze accumulates buildup faster in hard-water areas, the standard-height bowl is less accessible than the comfort-height Drake II, and the 200-gram MaP difference is noticeable only in households with heavy-duty flushing demands. For a guest bathroom, a rental property or a tighter budget, the Entrada is the value pick the market has consistently rewarded with strong reviews. For broader budget comparisons, see our guide on best budget toilets.

The TOTO Legato is the most visually minimal toilet in the lineup: a fully skirted one-piece with concealed internal components and an almost sculptural exterior that looks closer to a bathroom design piece than a utility fixture. Its Tornado Flush at 1.28 GPF hits 600 grams on the MaP test, which sits in the solid range for a skirted one-piece, and CeFiONtect glaze is standard.

The Legato is not the strongest flusher in the TOTO lineup, and buyers prioritizing raw MaP performance should look at the Drake or Drake II instead. What the Legato offers is a premium for design coherence: a toilet whose exterior shape could be mistaken for a Scandinavian design object, with a completely concealed trapway, no exposed hardware, and a fully smooth exterior that wipes clean in seconds. In a bathroom where the fixture is a visible statement, this matters.

Owner reviews on the Legato separate into two clear camps: buyers who prioritize design rate it very highly, while buyers who expected Drake-level flush power are occasionally surprised by the lower MaP. The Tornado Flush's full-bowl coverage at 600 grams keeps the bowl clean in typical household use without double-flushing for normal loads. For households with consistently heavy demands, the Drake II is the more practical choice at a lower position.
