I was wondering where the best place to get TOTO toilet bowl in Klang Valley. I been to Top Idea jalan ipoh, is it me, TOTO toilet bowl is quite small, like a bit narrow when sit on it.

I am in a hurry to get a toilet bowl, hopefully this week.

Hi @zheilwane,

Can I get your advise please. I'm renovating a subsale house which has the WC rough in of 140mm x 3 bathrooms and 170mm x 1 bathroom
I'm trying to avoid relocating the outlet and looking for a WC which is direct S-trap

Instead of relocating the outlet, I was thinking of getting my plumber to insert a 2-3 inch offset pan connector so that the rough in can extend to 200mm.
And I understand that using this method can only be applied to direct S trap and not the more common P-S traps WC's in the market.

Can I get your opinion :
1/ is the 2-3 inch offset pan connector for direct S-trap extending the rough in to 200mm doable/logical?
2/ assuming no 1/ is doable, could you recommend a WC with 200mm set out which is fully covered (ie, back part not exposed) and smooth surface (for easy cleaning)

TQVM!

I order via online. Arrive at my current house. I wonder if this toilet bowl really really fragile? This thing is damn heavy. Scare to move it around would brake it. And I need to move it to another house soon. Any advice on how to move it safely?

Thanks

Seems Toto has the most offering of toilet bowl eh.... and it is pretty premium.

What would be a good alternative for it? I've seen American Standard has some good offering too...

As for Sorento... they are local brand?
any wall hung model? it is worth to install?

many brands hav wall hung model.... but u nid to plan how u gonna install ur wall hung.... like the flushing unit inside a wall? or the flushing unit is actually outside the wall like a 3 inch box infront of the wall?



the latter 1 sure ez for maintenance cuz the whole thing is outside.... but if for look, concealed inside wall is the best in look.... the maintenance is juz the small flush button panel.... think twice....

user posted image This is the external flush unit....

yeah... came across this
it is certainly good price and good design

how is the after sales support ? Especially when too much electronics integrated. There is concern the system gone case and no parts to repair and need to hack off the whole unit

Thinking to upgrade my toilet. Looking at rimless back to wall, can be either close-coupled or one-piece.

What's the disadvantage of back to wall as opposed to curved back?

Any other options around the price range of RM1000? I found Johnson Suisse Vicenza and Rigel WC9030F so far to be within range. No one-piece option at this price range found so far

Hi, is it worth getting the rimless toilet bowl? There seems to be more pros than cons compared to normal type. Browsing through the price, it's about the same or cheaper than normal toilet bowl?

depending on the wc quality, some rimless are cheaper than non-rimless, some more exp, so depend which quality u getting. first meassure hole distance only decide what to buy, from what i know most rimless wc are 250mm

Thanks for the reply Zein, cause I was actually comparing the Sorento you recommended, against another same brand but rimless, and the rimless is cheaper. smile.gif

means the quality of the WC is lower grade, price of a WC is not because rimless or not, is the material and quality

Had similar preference such as yourself and I finally went with Sorento. Most important like what a poster above said, get the measurements first then only you'd know what brand and model you can get. I renovated my place and 3 of my bathrooms all had different hole distances.

Sorento was the only brand that could work for me. Still had to get 2 different models though.

there is a new wc in town. Sorento SRTWC8122. Tankless design, direct flush system. Traditional WC, water stored in cistern (tank) 6L and some brands 4.5L. SO, the flushing power is only limited to the water stored in tank, there is no way to improve flushing power. With SORENTO direct flush system, flushing strength relies on incoming water pressure, so the stronger the water pressure, the better the flush. Recommended to have 2bar and above.

Here is a demo
