For most buyers, I’d start with the TOTO Drake Transitional with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT: it pairs a water-saving 1.28 GPF flush with a glaze designed to help keep the bowl cleaner. The Drake 1.28 GPF is a simpler alternative, while the Entrada suits buyers who want a more straightforward setup. The main tradeoffs are paying for a bidet seat or upgraded flush and cleaning features, versus keeping the toilet simpler and checking fit carefully. Rough-in size, seat height, and whether a bidet is included can change which model makes sense. Continue reading for the full comparison of all 13 options.

Key Takeaways
- The Drake Transitional with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT stands out as the strongest all-around fit among the standard toilets, combining 1.28 GPF with cleaning-focused features.
- The Entrada and basic Drake models are the simpler choices for buyers who do not need a bidet seat or the most feature-rich flush package.
- 10-inch rough-in models address a specific installation constraint; verify the distance from the finished wall to the drain before choosing one.
- WASHLET+ models bundle toilet and bidet-seat features, but their added electronics and functions make them a different kind of purchase from a standard toilet.
- Flush and glaze features vary across Drake versions, so the family name alone does not identify whether a model has Tornado Flush, CEFIONTECT, or a particular water-use specification.

More Details on Our Top Picks
TOTO Drake Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Cotton White
For a straightforward TOTO two-piece toilet with useful cleaning features included, the Drake 1.28 GPF is my strongest all-around pick. Its TORNADO FLUSH and CEFIONTECT glaze are designed to rinse the bowl and limit waste buildup, while the WaterSense-certified flush uses less water than older, higher-volume toilets. Unlike the Drake Transitional 10-inch Rough-In, this model is set up for a standard 12-inch rough-in, so it suits more conventional bathroom layouts. It also includes a SoftClose seat, avoiding a separate seat purchase, and supports an optional WASHLET+ seat. The tradeoff is that the bidet seat is not included, and buyers still need to source installation supplies such as the wax ring and mounting bolts.
Pros:- WaterSense-certified 1.28 GPF flush limits water use
- TORNADO FLUSH and CEFIONTECT are designed to support bowl rinsing and reduce waste buildup
- SoftClose seat is included
- Elongated bowl and WASHLET+ compatibility allow for a future bidet-seat upgrade
Cons:- Wax ring and mounting bolts are sold separately
- Optional WASHLET+ bidet seat is not included
- 12-inch rough-in limits fit in bathrooms built for other rough-in distances
Best for: Homeowners replacing a standard 12-inch rough-in toilet who want an efficient flush, an included seat, and the option to add a bidet seat later.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a 10- or 14-inch rough-in, or anyone who wants an electronic bidet seat included from the start.
- Model:MS776124CEG#01
- Type:Two-piece elongated toilet
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Flush system:TORNADO FLUSH
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Trip lever:Left-hand, chrome
- Included components:Toilet tank, toilet bowl, SoftClose seat
- Certification:EPA WaterSense
Our verdict“Choose this Drake for a standard 12-inch rough-in and a balanced mix of water efficiency, cleaning features, and included seating.”
TOTO WASHLET+ Nexus Two-Piece Elongated Toilet with S5 Bidet Seat, 1.28 GPF, Cotton White
This is the lineup’s most complete comfort-focused option: the Nexus two-piece toilet comes paired with an S5 electronic bidet seat, rather than leaving the upgrade for later as the standard Drake does. Warm-water front and rear cleansing, a heated seat, dryer, deodorizer, night light, and wand-cleaning features make it a better fit for buyers who want a broad set of functions in one purchase. Its 1.28 GPF TORNADO FLUSH keeps water use in line with the Drake, while concealed bidet connections create a tidier installation. The compromise is added complexity and a substantial 128.1-pound listed weight. Also, fitting a 10- or 14-inch rough-in requires a separately sold adapter, whereas the standard Drake is specified for a 12-inch rough-in.
Pros:- S5 seat includes adjustable warm-water front and rear cleansing
- Heated SoftClose seat, dryer, deodorizer, and night light add comfort functions
- PREMIST, EWATER+, TORNADO FLUSH, and CEFIONTECT support cleaning
- Concealed bidet connections create a streamlined appearance
Cons:- Wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are sold separately
- 10- or 14-inch rough-in installation requires a separately sold adapter
- The electronic bidet system adds installation and maintenance complexity compared with the basic Drake
Best for: Buyers furnishing a primary bathroom who want an included electronic bidet seat with adjustable warm-water washing and comfort features.
Not ideal for: Shoppers seeking a basic, lower-complexity toilet, or those whose 10- or 14-inch rough-in cannot accommodate a separately purchased adapter.
- Model:MW4423446CEFG#01
- Type:Floor-mounted, two-piece elongated toilet
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Bidet seat:S5 electronic bidet seat
- Water cleansing:Front and rear warm-water wash with five temperature and pressure settings
- Seat features:Heated SoftClose seat with five temperature settings
- Additional features:Night light, warm-air dryer, deodorizer, PREMIST, EWATER+ wand cleaning, TORNADO FLUSH, CEFIONTECT
- Weight:128.1 pounds
- Rough-in compatibility:10- or 14-inch rough-in with separately sold adapter
Our verdict“Pick the Nexus package if an included feature-rich bidet seat matters more than keeping the toilet simple.”
TOTO Drake Transitional Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Universal Height, 10-Inch Rough-In, CEFIONTECT, Cotton White
A bathroom with a 10-inch rough-in needs a toilet matched to that distance, and this Drake Transitional is purpose-built for that constraint. It pairs an elongated bowl and Universal Height with a WaterSense-certified 1.28 GPF flush, TORNADO FLUSH, and CEFIONTECT. That makes it a practical alternative to the standard 12-inch Drake, which is not specified for this shorter rough-in. Its ADA-compliant designation and taller seating position may also suit households that prefer easier sit-to-stand movement. The purchase is less complete than the standard Drake, though: the seat is not included, and neither are the wax ring, mounting bolts, or water supply line. Choose it for the fit and height, not for an all-in-one installation kit.
Pros:- Designed for a 10-inch rough-in
- Universal Height and elongated bowl support a taller seating position
- WaterSense-certified 1.28 GPF TORNADO FLUSH
- CEFIONTECT glaze is designed to help reduce waste buildup
Cons:- Toilet seat is sold separately
- Wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply line are sold separately
- The 10-inch rough-in makes this a less flexible choice for standard 12-inch installations
Best for: Homeowners with a 10-inch rough-in who want an elongated, Universal Height toilet with a water-efficient flush.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a standard 12-inch rough-in who want an included seat or a toilet with installation supplies bundled.
- Model:CST786CEFG.10#01
- Type:Two-piece elongated toilet
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Flush system:TORNADO FLUSH
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Height:Universal Height
- Rough-in:10 inches
- Certifications:WaterSense, ADA compliant
- Included components:Toilet bowl, toilet tank, tank-to-bowl gasket and hardware, toilet bolt caps
Our verdict“Choose this model when a 10-inch rough-in rules out the standard Drake and Universal Height is a priority.”
TOTO Aquia IV WASHLET+ Two-Piece Elongated Dual-Flush Toilet, Cotton White
The Aquia IV stands apart from the fixed-volume Drake models by offering a dual-flush choice of 0.9 or 1.28 GPF. That gives households a lower-volume option for lighter flushes while retaining a higher setting when needed. Its skirted exterior also hides more of the bowl’s sides, which can make routine floor-level cleaning less awkward than around the more exposed shape of the Drake. A SoftClose seat is included, and the toilet supports T40 WASHLET+ electronic bidet seats. That compatibility is narrower than the standard Drake’s general WASHLET+ readiness: this model is specified for T40 seats only. The 12-inch rough-in can adapt to 10 or 14 inches, but those installations need a separate adapter, and installation supplies are sold separately.
Pros:- Dual-flush settings offer 0.9 or 1.28 GPF
- Skirted design can simplify cleaning around the toilet exterior
- SoftClose seat is included
- CEFIONTECT and DYNAMAX TORNADO FLUSH support bowl cleaning
Cons:- WASHLET+ compatibility is limited to TOTO T40 electronic bidet seats
- Installation supplies are sold separately
- 10- or 14-inch rough-in fit requires a separately sold adapter
Best for: Households that want selectable flush volumes, a skirted exterior, and the option to add a compatible T40 WASHLET+ seat.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want broad bidet-seat compatibility, included installation supplies, or a toilet without adapter requirements for a 10- or 14-inch rough-in.
- Model:MS446124CEMGN#01
- Type:Two-piece elongated toilet
- Flush:Dual flush, 0.9 or 1.28 GPF
- Flush system:DYNAMAX TORNADO FLUSH
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Design:Skirted
- Seat:SoftClose seat included
- Rough-in:12 inches; adaptable to 10 or 14 inches with separately sold adapter
- Compatibility:TOTO T40 WASHLET+ electronic bidet seat only
Our verdict“Choose the Aquia IV over a fixed-volume Drake if dual-flush control and a skirted exterior are your priorities.”
TOTO Drake II 1G Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, Universal Height, Cotton White
Among these five picks, the Drake II 1G uses the least water per flush: 1.0 gallon, compared with 1.28 GPF for the standard Drake and the two 1.28 GPF alternatives. Its TORNADO FLUSH and CEFIONTECT are intended to support bowl rinsing and reduce waste buildup, while Universal Height offers a taller seating position. It is a focused choice for buyers who prioritize low flush volume and accessible seating rather than included extras. Unlike the standard Drake, the Drake II 1G does not include a toilet seat; some installation supplies are also sold separately. The listed one-year warranty is another point to weigh against the feature-rich Nexus package, which adds an electronic bidet seat and comfort functions at the cost of greater complexity.
Pros:- Uses 1.0 gallon per flush
- TORNADO FLUSH provides centrifugal bowl rinsing
- CEFIONTECT glaze is designed to help limit waste buildup
- Universal Height and listed ADA compliance support a taller seating position
Cons:- Toilet seat is sold separately
- Some installation supplies are sold separately
- One-year warranty is listed
Best for: Water-conscious households seeking a 1.0 GPF toilet with Universal Height and who are comfortable choosing a seat separately.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a toilet seat included, prefer a complete installation kit, or want an integrated bidet seat.
- Model:CST454CUFG#01
- Type:Two-piece elongated toilet
- Flush volume:1.0 GPF
- Flush system:TORNADO FLUSH
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Height:Universal Height
- Trip lever:Left-hand, chrome
- Certifications:ADA compliant; EPA WaterSense; meets California CEC and CALGreen requirements
- Warranty:1 year
Our verdict“Pick the Drake II 1G if minimizing flush volume matters more than getting a seat or bidet features in the box.”
TOTO Drake Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Tornado Flush, CEFIONTECT, Right-Hand Lever, Cotton White
This Drake is the right fit when a right-hand trip lever matches the bathroom layout or the user’s preference. Its Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT glaze are designed to rinse the bowl and help limit waste buildup, while the 1.28 GPF WaterSense-certified flush keeps water use controlled. Compared with the left-lever TOTO Drake Transitional Two-Piece, the core bowl-cleaning and water-use features are similar; the lever position is the meaningful distinction. The standard-height elongated bowl offers familiar proportions, but it sits lower than the Universal Height TOTO Drake Transitional and TOTO Entrada. I would choose this version for a standard-height setup that specifically calls for a right-side lever, and skip it if easier standing and sitting or a complete installation package matters more. The seat and key installation supplies are separate purchases.
Pros:- Right-hand chrome trip lever suits layouts that call for controls on that side.
- Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT are designed to support efficient bowl rinsing.
- 1.28 GPF flush carries EPA WaterSense certification.
- Elongated bowl offers more sitting space than a round bowl.
Cons:- Standard-height bowl is lower than the Universal Height Entrada and Drake options.
- Toilet seat, wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are sold separately.
Best for: Buyers replacing a two-piece toilet who need a standard-height elongated bowl and a right-hand lever.
Not ideal for: People who prefer a taller Universal Height bowl or want the seat and installation supplies included.
- Configuration:Two-piece
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Flush system:Tornado Flush
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Height:Standard height
- Trip lever:Right-hand chrome
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Certification:EPA WaterSense
Our verdict“Choose this Drake when you need a right-hand lever and standard-height bowl; choose a Universal Height model for easier sitting and standing.”
TOTO Drake Transitional Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Tornado Flush, CEFIONTECT, Cotton White
This standard-height Drake Transitional suits buyers who want a familiar elongated bowl with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT, but need the left-hand chrome lever. Its 1.28 GPF flush is WaterSense certified, and the bowl-cleaning features mirror those of the right-lever Drake in this lineup. That makes lever placement—not flush performance—the main choice between the two. Compared with the Universal Height TOTO Drake Transitional Two-Piece, this version has a lower seat height, which may feel more familiar to some users but offers less help when sitting down or standing up. It also resembles the TOTO Entrada in height and lever side, though the Entrada uses an E-Max flushing system rather than Tornado Flush. The seat and installation supplies are not included, so this is less convenient for buyers seeking a ready-to-install package.
Pros:- Left-hand chrome lever matches common replacement layouts.
- Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT are designed to rinse the bowl and limit waste buildup.
- 1.28 GPF flush is EPA WaterSense certified.
- Elongated bowl provides added sitting space.
Cons:- Standard-height bowl is lower than the Universal Height Drake Transitional.
- Seat, wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are sold separately.
Best for: Households replacing a standard-height toilet that need a left-hand lever and want TOTO’s Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a taller ADA-compliant bowl, an included seat, or a complete set of installation materials.
- Configuration:Two-piece
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Flush system:Tornado Flush
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Height:Standard height
- Trip lever:Left-hand chrome
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Certification:EPA WaterSense
Our verdict“Pick this model for a standard-height, left-lever Drake with Tornado Flush; choose its Universal Height counterpart for a taller bowl.”
TOTO Entrada Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Universal Height, Cotton White
The Entrada is the straightforward choice for buyers who prioritize a Universal Height bowl and a quiet, efficient flush over extra bowl-glaze features. Its E-Max system uses 1.28 gallons per flush, and its elongated shape and ADA-compliant design can suit households where easier sitting and standing matter. The 2-1/8-inch glazed trapway is a practical detail, though this model does not list Tornado Flush or CEFIONTECT like the TOTO Drake Transitional Universal Height. That Drake is the stronger match for buyers focused on bowl-rinsing features; the Entrada instead offers a simpler set of specifications and also meets EPA WaterSense requirements. A left-hand lever and 12-inch rough-in fit typical replacement plans. The tradeoff is that the seat and several installation materials are separate, so the initial setup requires additional parts.
Pros:- Universal Height bowl can make sitting down and standing up easier.
- Quiet E-Max flush uses 1.28 GPF.
- ADA compliant and EPA WaterSense certified.
- Glazed 2-1/8-inch trapway is specified for this model.
Cons:- Does not list Tornado Flush or CEFIONTECT, unlike the Universal Height Drake Transitional.
- Toilet seat, wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are sold separately.
Best for: Buyers who want a WaterSense-certified, Universal Height elongated toilet with a quiet E-Max flush and ADA compliance.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who specifically want Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT, or who expect the seat and installation supplies in the box.
- Configuration:Two-piece
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Flush system:E-Max
- Height:Universal Height
- Trip lever:Left-hand chrome
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Trapway:2-1/8-inch glazed
- Certifications:ADA compliant; EPA WaterSense; meets California CEC and CALGreen requirements
Our verdict“Choose the Entrada for a taller, ADA-compliant toilet with a quiet E-Max flush; choose the Universal Height Drake Transitional for Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT.”
TOTO Drake Transitional Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Universal Height, Tornado Flush, CEFIONTECT, Cotton White
This Universal Height Drake Transitional brings together the features that matter to buyers who want a taller bowl without giving up Tornado Flush or CEFIONTECT. The elongated bowl adds sitting space, while its height can make sitting down and standing up easier than on the standard-height TOTO Drake Transitional. It also has an advantage over the TOTO Entrada for shoppers who specifically want Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT; the Entrada instead uses E-Max and a glazed trapway. At 1.28 GPF, this model is WaterSense certified and ADA compliant, with a 12-inch rough-in and left-hand chrome lever. The main compromise is convenience at installation: although tank-to-bowl hardware is included, the seat, wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are not. Its two-piece construction also requires joining the tank and bowl.
Pros:- Universal Height can make sitting down and standing up easier.
- Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT are designed to support efficient bowl rinsing and reduce waste buildup.
- 1.28 GPF flush is WaterSense certified.
- Elongated bowl and ADA compliance support comfort and accessibility needs.
Cons:- Seat, wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are sold separately.
- Two-piece construction requires tank-to-bowl assembly.
Best for: Buyers who want an ADA-compliant, Universal Height elongated toilet with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT.
Not ideal for: People who need a standard-height bowl, a one-piece installation, or a seat and installation supplies included.
- Configuration:Two-piece
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Height:Universal Height
- Flush system:Tornado Flush
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Trip lever:Left-hand chrome
- Certifications:WaterSense certified; ADA compliant
Our verdict“Choose this Drake Transitional for a taller, accessible bowl with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT; choose the Entrada if E-Max flush is your priority.”
TOTO Drake Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Universal Height, 10-Inch Rough-In, Cotton White
This Drake is the clear fit when the existing plumbing calls for a 10-inch rough-in, a less common dimension than the 12-inch rough-in on the other toilets here. It pairs that fit with Universal Height, an elongated bowl, and a SoftClose seat included in the package, making it more installation-ready than the TOTO Drake Transitional Universal Height and TOTO Entrada, both of which list the seat as separate. Its Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT match the cleaning-focused features of the Drake Transitional, and the 1.28 GPF flush is WaterSense certified. The tradeoff is that the 10-inch rough-in limits its use: buyers with a standard 12-inch rough-in should not select it as a substitute. A wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines still need to be sourced separately, and the WASHLET+ bidet seat is optional.
Pros:- 10-inch rough-in serves installations that the 12-inch Entrada and Drake Transitional do not fit.
- Universal Height and elongated bowl support comfortable use.
- SoftClose seat is included, unlike the other listed models.
- Tornado Flush, CEFIONTECT, and a 1.28 GPF WaterSense-certified flush.
Cons:- The 10-inch rough-in restricts compatibility; verify the existing measurement before buying.
- Wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are sold separately.
- WASHLET+ bidet seat is optional, not included.
Best for: Homeowners replacing a toilet in a bathroom with a verified 10-inch rough-in who want Universal Height and an included SoftClose seat.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a 12-inch rough-in or anyone expecting the WASHLET+ bidet seat and all installation supplies to be included.
- Configuration:Two-piece
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Rough-in:10 inches
- Height:Universal Height
- Flush system:Tornado Flush
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Seat:SoftClose included
- Compatibility:Compatible with optional WASHLET+ bidet seat
Our verdict“Choose this Drake only for a confirmed 10-inch rough-in; it adds an included SoftClose seat, but will not suit the 12-inch installations used by the other models here.”
TOTO Drake Two-Piece Elongated Toilet, 1.6 GPF, Universal Height, Tornado Flush, CEFIONTECT, Cotton White
This Drake is the straightforward choice for buyers who want an accessible-height, two-piece toilet with bowl-cleaning features but do not need a bidet seat. Its Universal Height design can make sitting and standing easier, while the elongated bowl offers more room than a compact round option. Tornado Flush and the CEFIONTECT glaze are intended to rinse the bowl and limit waste sticking, so routine cleaning may take less effort. Compared with the 1.28 GPF Drake models in this roundup, this version uses 1.6 gallons per flush; that may suit buyers prioritizing its specified flush rate, but it uses more water per flush. The package includes the tank, bowl, and tank hardware, not a seat or installation supplies, so plan to source those separately.
Pros:- Universal Height is ADA compliant and designed to ease sitting and standing.
- Elongated bowl provides additional seating space.
- Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT are designed to support bowl rinsing and easier cleaning.
- Tank, bowl, tank-to-bowl gasket, and tank hardware are included.
Cons:- Uses 1.6 GPF, more than the 1.28 GPF toilets in this roundup.
- Toilet seat and installation supplies are sold separately.
Best for: Buyers seeking an ADA-compliant-height elongated toilet with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT, without paying for an integrated bidet seat.
Not ideal for: Water-conscious households comparing it with the 1.28 GPF Drake models, or anyone expecting a seat and installation supplies in the box.
- Model:CST776CSFG#01
- Configuration:Two-piece toilet
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush rate:1.6 GPF
- Height:Universal Height; ADA compliant
- Flush system:Tornado Flush
- Glaze:CEFIONTECT
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Color:Cotton White
Our verdict“Choose this Drake if accessible height and a simple two-piece setup matter more to you than using less water per flush or getting a bidet seat.”
TOTO Drake Washlet+ Two-Piece Elongated Universal Height Tornado Flush Toilet with S2 Bidet Seat, Cotton White
The Drake Washlet+ makes sense for buyers who want a built-in bidet experience without moving to the more automated Nexus S7A package. Its included S2 bidet seat adds heated seating, warm front and rear cleansing, adjustable pressure and temperature, an oscillating stream, and a warm-air dryer. The toilet itself uses 1.28 GPF and combines Tornado Flush, PREMIST, CEFIONTECT, and a rimless design to support cleaning. Compared with the standard Drake, this model adds substantial comfort and functionality, but it also needs an electrical connection and more involved installation. Unlike the Nexus S7A, the listed S2 features do not include automatic flushing or an auto-opening lid. The elongated, universal-height bowl may also be a tight fit in smaller bathrooms.
Pros:- Includes an S2 bidet seat with warm front and rear cleansing and an oscillating stream.
- Heated SoftClose seat, night light, and warm-air dryer add comfort and convenience.
- Uses 1.28 GPF and includes Tornado Flush, PREMIST, CEFIONTECT, and rimless design.
- Universal Height is ADA compliant.
Cons:- Wax ring, mounting bolts, and supply lines are not included.
- Requires electrical access for the bidet seat features.
- Its elongated configuration may not suit smaller bathrooms.
Best for: Households that want an included heated bidet seat with adjustable cleansing and ADA-compliant height, but do not need hands-free flushing.
Not ideal for: Buyers with limited bathroom space, no suitable electrical access, or a preference for a simpler toilet without electronic seat features.
- Model:MW7763346CEFG#01
- Configuration:Two-piece toilet with S2 bidet seat
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Height:Universal Height; ADA compliant
- Bidet seat features:Heated SoftClose, night light, warm-air dryer, adjustable temperature and pressure, oscillating stream
- Toilet features:Tornado Flush, PREMIST, CEFIONTECT glaze, rimless design
- Color:Cotton White
Our verdict“Pick the Drake Washlet+ if an adjustable heated bidet seat matters more than automatic flushing or the simpler installation of a standard Drake.”
TOTO WASHLET+ Nexus Two-Piece Elongated Toilet with Auto Flush and S7A Bidet Seat, Cotton White
This Nexus pairs a two-piece toilet with the lineup’s most hands-free feature set: automatic flushing, an S7A bidet seat, and a design that conceals the seat’s water supply and power cord. The seat adds five spray settings, a heated seat, an illuminated remote with memory for four users, and an auto-opening and closing lid. At 1.28 GPF, it also uses less water per flush than the 1.6 GPF Drake reviewed here. Cleaning-focused features include EWATER+, PREMIST, CEFIONTECT, and Tornado Flush. Compared with the Drake Washlet+ S2, the Nexus emphasizes automation and a tidier installation appearance rather than a more basic bidet feature set. The tradeoffs are compatibility limits to T40 WASHLET+ components and separately sourced installation parts; adapting its 12-inch rough-in to 14 inches also requires an adapter.
Pros:- Automatic hands-free flushing reduces contact with the flush control.
- S7A seat includes five spray settings, heated seating, and four-user remote memory.
- WASHLET+ design conceals the seat’s water supply and power cord.
- Uses 1.28 GPF and includes EWATER+, PREMIST, CEFIONTECT, and Tornado Flush.
Cons:- Wax ring, mounting bolts, and water supply lines are sold separately.
- A 14-inch rough-in requires a separately sold adapter.
- Compatible only with T40 WASHLET+ components, limiting replacement options.
Best for: Buyers building a premium bathroom who want automatic flushing, a feature-rich bidet seat, and concealed seat connections.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who want a basic, easy-to-source two-piece toilet, need a 14-inch rough-in without buying an adapter, or prefer to avoid electronic features.
- Model:MW4424736CEFGA#01
- Configuration:Two-piece elongated toilet with WASHLET S7A bidet seat
- Flush rate:1.28 GPF
- Flush system:Automatic hands-free flush
- Bidet seat:WASHLET S7A; five spray settings
- Remote memory:Four users
- Rough-in:12 inches; adaptable to 14 inches with separately sold adapter
- Color:Cotton White
- Compatibility:T40 WASHLET+ electronic bidet seat and toilet bowl components
Our verdict“Choose the Nexus if you want automatic flushing and a polished, feature-rich bidet setup and are comfortable with its parts and rough-in requirements.”
How We Picked
I compared the 13 models on the factors that most affect a two-piece toilet purchase: stated water use, flush design, cleaning features, rough-in fit, universal-height availability, and whether a bidet seat is part of the package. I also treated installation compatibility and day-to-day complexity as practical buyer concerns, rather than assuming that more features automatically make a better choice.
The ranking gives priority to broad usefulness: the leading standard pick combines a 1.28 GPF rating with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT, while simpler Drake and Entrada options rank well for buyers who want fewer add-ons. WASHLET+ models earn distinct roles for buyers seeking integrated bidet functions, but they are not ranked above a standard toilet for everyone because they add equipment and setup considerations. Models with 10-inch rough-ins are included for their specific fit advantage, not as universal replacements for standard rough-in toilets.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Toto Two Piece Toilet
Before choosing a model, I’d separate installation requirements from comfort and feature preferences. A toilet that fits the room and drain location matters more than a longer feature list; after that, compare flush configuration, water use, cleaning needs, and whether a bidet seat is genuinely useful in your household.
Measure the Rough-In Before Comparing Features
Measure from the finished wall behind the toilet to the center of the floor drain, not from the baseboard or an unfinished wall. Many buyers focus on a model’s flush system and discover too late that the rough-in does not match their plumbing. The 10-inch rough-in Drake versions in this lineup are aimed at tighter installations, while a standard rough-in model may not fit the same space. Also check clearance to side walls, doors, and nearby vanities, since an elongated bowl needs room in front. If the measurement is uncertain, confirm it with an installer before ordering; a compatible rough-in can matter more than moving up to a more feature-rich model.
Choose Height for the People Who Use the Toilet
Universal height can make sitting down and standing up easier for many adults, but it is not automatically the most comfortable height for every household member. A taller seat may feel awkward for shorter adults or children, and the final sitting height depends partly on the seat selected. When replacing an existing toilet, compare the old seat height with the new model rather than relying on the label alone. If several people share the bathroom, think about the shortest and tallest regular users, not just the person choosing the fixture. Height is a lasting comfort decision, so it deserves attention alongside water use and flushing features.
Match Flush Features to Your Priorities
A 1.28 GPF model uses less water per flush than a 1.6 GPF option, but buyers should compare the complete model specification rather than assume every Drake flushes the same way. This lineup includes versions with Tornado Flush and versions where that feature is not listed. Flush design may affect how water moves around the bowl, while the listed gallon rating tells you about water use; they answer different questions. If water conservation is your priority, start with the 1.28 GPF choices, then check that the exact model includes the flush features you want. Do not choose a higher-use model just because the number seems like a proxy for performance.
Decide Whether CEFIONTECT Is Worth Prioritizing
CEFIONTECT is a glaze feature intended to help the bowl resist residue, which may appeal to households seeking an easier cleaning routine. It does not remove the need for regular cleaning, and it should not be treated as a substitute for suitable cleaning products or maintenance. Several Drake variants include it, while some closely named versions do not, so check the full product name and specification. Buyers who value a simpler setup may prefer a model without extra features, while those focused on bowl upkeep may favor a version that includes the glaze. Compare the actual feature list rather than assuming all toilets in one family share the same finish.
Treat WASHLET+ as a Separate Bidet-Seat Decision
A WASHLET+ package combines a toilet with a bidet seat, making it a different purchase from a standard two-piece toilet. Before choosing one, decide whether bidet functions will be used often enough to justify the added equipment and setup requirements. Check electrical access near the toilet and review the specific seat’s functions, since the lineup includes different S-series seats and an auto-flush option. A bundled package can simplify matching the toilet and seat, but it may limit flexibility compared with buying a conventional toilet and selecting a seat separately. If you only want a dependable toilet, a standard Drake or Entrada avoids paying attention to features you may not use.
Check What the Listing Includes and What Installation Requires
Product names can make a toilet appear ready to install, but buyers should confirm which components are included and which must be purchased separately. Check the listing for the seat, tank components, supply connection, and any required electrical connection, especially for WASHLET+ models. Confirm the bowl shape and color against the existing bathroom if you are replacing only one fixture; “Cotton White” should not be assumed to match every other white finish. Two-piece construction can make handling and access easier than a one-piece design, though assembly creates a joint that needs correct installation. A quick parts and compatibility check can prevent delays after delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether I need a 10-inch rough-in toilet?
Measure from the finished wall to the center of the floor drain, keeping the measurement square to the wall. A 10-inch rough-in model is intended for an installation with that shorter distance; it is not a general upgrade over a standard rough-in toilet. Do not measure from the baseboard, since its thickness can affect the result. If the drain is difficult to locate or the measurement falls between common sizes, ask a plumber to verify it before ordering. Choosing by appearance or model family without checking the rough-in can lead to a toilet that does not fit.
Is a 1.28 GPF toilet always the better choice than a 1.6 GPF model?
Not automatically: the lower figure indicates less water used per flush, but it does not by itself describe the flush design or prove that a particular model suits every household. This lineup includes both 1.28 GPF and 1.6 GPF Drake options, with other differences in stated features. Compare the exact model’s flush system and your household’s priorities rather than using gallon rating as the only measure. If lowering water use is a central goal, the 1.28 GPF choices are the natural place to start. For any model, follow the manufacturer’s installation and maintenance instructions.
Do I need an electrical outlet for a WASHLET+ toilet?
WASHLET+ packages include an electronic bidet seat, so plan for the seat’s electrical requirements before installation. Check the instructions for the specific seat in the package, since the lineup includes different models and feature sets. A nearby outlet can affect placement and may require an electrician if one is not available. Do not assume a standard toilet rough-in or water connection covers the electrical setup. If adding power is impractical, a standard Drake or Entrada avoids that extra installation step.
Will CEFIONTECT mean I no longer need to clean the bowl?
No. CEFIONTECT is a bowl glaze feature intended to help resist residue, but it does not eliminate routine cleaning. It can be a useful preference when comparing otherwise similar versions, particularly for buyers who want to make bowl maintenance easier. Check the exact model specification because not every toilet in the Drake family lists the feature. Continue to use cleaning products and methods suitable for the toilet’s finish. If cleaning simplicity is not a priority, a model without the glaze may still meet your needs.
Should I buy a WASHLET+ bundle or a standard toilet and bidet seat separately?
A WASHLET+ bundle makes sense when you already want an electronic bidet seat and prefer a coordinated toilet-and-seat package. Buying components separately may give you more freedom to choose a different seat or keep the toilet purchase simple. Compare the included seat’s functions, power needs, and compatibility before deciding; the S2, S5, and S7A options in this lineup are not the same package. Also check whether the bundle’s flush and height specifications suit your bathroom. If you do not expect to use bidet features, a standard two-piece model is the more direct choice.
Conclusion
For most households, I’d choose the Drake Transitional with Tornado Flush and CEFIONTECT as the best overall balance of water use and cleaning-focused features. For best value, consider a straightforward 1.28 GPF Drake or the Entrada if you want to avoid bidet-seat extras; the Entrada is also my best for beginners when simplicity matters more than a longer feature list. The best premium direction is a WASHLET+ Nexus or Drake package, with the Nexus S7A and auto-flush model suited to buyers who want more integrated functions. For specific installation needs, choose a 10-inch rough-in Drake only after measuring the drain location, and favor universal height when it fits the regular users. My final check would be rough-in, outlet access for electronic seats, and the exact model’s feature list before placing an order.
