But this toilet doesn’t include a seat or the installation hardware, so expect to make an additional trip to the hardware store to get everything you need to install this toilet. We prefer models that include everything you need so you can make a single purchase and move on. Unfortunately, there are areas of the bowl that were missed entirely, meaning you’ll be doing a lot more cleaning with this toilet. But it’s got a smaller two-inch flush valve that doesn’t do as well with that small amount of water as other models we tested. Like many American Standard toilets, this one features a conservative flush that only uses 1.28 gallons of water. But if you have a standard-sized bathroom with a common 12-inch rough-in, then you’ll probably want to skip this toilet. It’s just about the only option for certain smaller bathrooms designed with a 10-inch rough-in. With a 10-inch rough-in measurement, the American Standard Colony Right Height Toilet is a bit different than most toilets. The mechanical parts get a 10-year warranty and the chinaware is warrantied for life. Considering the hidden traps, we would have expected a hygienic one-piece design. We’re surprised at the two-piece design of this toilet that leaves a space between the tank and bowl where filth can get trapped. It’s rated to move up to 1,000 grams of waste at a time, though we’ve never weighed our waste to see how much that adds up to in the real world. To keep the bowl clean, this toilet is equipped with the Power Wash rim that helps keep skid marks at bay.

The whole toilet features the EverClean surface so messes and bacteria don’t stick.

It’s also one of the most expensive American Standard toilets we’ve seen, though we don’t think it offers enough to warrant the high price. The Town Square S Toilet is an elegant toilet with a very unique appearance. Unfortunately, this does mean that you occasionally have to flush twice. It’s also a very economical toilet, using just 1.28 gallons per flush, or GPF. You get a slow-closing seat with this toilet, avoiding slams and pinched fingers. It’s elongated, but it fits into the same space that a round toilet does. This is a compact toilet because of the space-saving design of the bowl. Also helping to prevent odors and messes is the one-piece design of this toilet, eliminating the seam between tank and bowl that easily holds onto nasty, smelly messes. Since these are usually the culprits for most offensive bathroom odors, the end result is a fresher smelling bathroom. This is a special surface on some American Standard toilets that helps to prevent bacteria, mold, and mildew. One of our favorite features of this toilet is the EverClean surface. It’s loaded with great features that we love at a reasonable price that seems cheap compared to some of the pricier models we tested. It was difficult to pick a single toilet out of the American Standard lineup, but if we have to pick just one, it’s the Compact Cadet Toilet.
