I have the Drake (I think), can't remember for sure and I don't see it
on there anyplace.

It has the gravity flush. It is _very_ effective but is a bit noisier
than the one I replaced. I don't see any way around a noisy flush.
You can either have quiet and whimpy or a bit noise and effective. Go
for the raised hieght one if it is available. I replaced mine because
it was so low and both of use are now up there in years. Amazing
difference getting up off a reasonable height one.

Also, if there is a spot, put a 'grab bar' within easy reach for
assistance in getting up. I don't need it (my wife does) but I use it
every time. Nice!!


I see you answered you other question about the g-max. As well as the
gravity flush works, I see no need for the g-max.

Another recommendation - use a 'waxless' toilet seal. Makes things
much easier and way less messy.

The Drake comes in ADA height, it's a bit more money.

Look at the Chinese building supply stores as they sell the Toto toilets
for much less than the high-end plumbing fixture stores.

Hmm, do these seal as well as a wax seal?
