    Hi,

    We just got two of these installed to replace the really slow flushing, constantly clogging American Standard Ones, and they work really well! I highly recommend the Toto Drake II and wish I'd replaced my old ones earlier. The three "installed cost" estimates I received ranged from $549.00-$710.00 each. They also have an optional "comfort height" ADA model that is a little bit higher.

    Did you order from Amazon or buy local? The constantly clogging is so true................

    Buy and install yourself. It is not as hard as one might think. Other than the toilet, which will install easily over the original hardware, all you need is a new wax ring and silicon to seal the bottom.

    I've just replaced a toilet. It's not too hard. Home depot has the extra large wax ring if you are scared about it. The ones that come with the toilets are a little small. I don't caulk around toilets I replace. If it leaks I want to know :)

    Trash company took ours out on the street. Didn't have to schedule a pickup or anything.

    We had a plumber install them. We are not DIYers in my house...
