Cadet 3
Options, options, and more options.
| Toilet Type | Water Usage | Dimensions (in.) | Material | Seat Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| One/Two-piece, Round/ Elongated | 1.28 GPF | 28 ¼ x 15 ¾ x 30 ¾ | Vitreous China | 16.5 inches | 105 lbs |
The American Standard Cadet 3 toilet is one of the most popular toilets on the market today. It’s an all around winner for most people’s needs. For this reason, it’s often used in commercial settings, as well as residential.
The Cadet 3 has a reliable and quiet flush, 1.28 GPF, and an EverClean surface.
Another plus is that it’s full of options. The Cadet 3 comes in round or elongated, and one or two piece versions. This is helpful for a variety of situations, like small bathrooms, for instance. But keep in mind, certain Cadet models are slightly different as one or two-piece toilets. For instance, certain Flowise and Compact Cadet 3 models can come as different builds.
The warranty is excellent as well. There’s a lifetime warranty on chinaware, 5 year warranty on all mechanical parts, and 1 year warranty on seat.
The Cadet 3 is favorable in terms of price as well. Depending on where you purchase it from and what specific model you choose, you’re typically looking at a range of $350 – $500.

H2Option
Dual flush and affordable.
| Toilet Type | Water Usage | Dimensions (in.) | Material | Seat Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-piece, Elongated/ Round | 1.28 / 0.92 GPF | 29 ¾ x 15 x 30 | Vitreous China | 15 inches | 70.1 lbs |
This gravity-flush toilet displays impressive water consumption efficiency through both its engineering and dual flush system. The two-piece design has .92 and 1.28 GPF options that give the user complete control over how much water they use.
What’s more, the H2Option comes with an EverClean surface finish that prevents the onset of stains, bacteria, mold, and other unwanted unsanitary particles. American Standard also equipped the H2Option with a siphon jet bowl technology and a PowerWash rim of a highly effective flushing system.
Also convenient is the limited warranty on the china and mechanical components of the toilet. Finally, users will appreciate the glazed trapway as the design prevents clogging and makes maintenance easier.
Like most models, there are still a few downsides: a MaP score of 600, a standard 2 inch trapway, and a bit difficult to install (even though it’s very lightweight).
All that said, it’s reasonably priced and comes from a very trusted brand.

Optum VorMax
High seat and great warranty.
| Toilet Type | Water Usage | Dimensions (in.) | Material | Seat Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-piece, Elongated | 1.28 GPF | 30.6 x 18.06 x 30.81 | Vitreous China | 17 inches | 92 lbs |
This is one of the best toilets that we’ve reviewed on ToiletsMan. Right off the bat, this is one of the most comfortable models coming from American Standard. With a 17 inch seat height, it’s more convenient than your traditional toilet, especially for people with mobility issues.
By using 20% less water than most toilets, the Optum VorMax is WaterSense certified, and yet it doesn’t sacrifice power for savings. Moreover, it still performs remarkably well at cleaning the bowl and ejecting waste thanks to its jetted scrub.
Another thing that aids in keeping the bowl clean and more hygienic is the CleanCurve rim design that lacks any hidden grooves that may favor debris and particle buildup. Furthermore, American Standard uses its popular EverClean surface known for its stain and bacteria resistance.
The standard 12-inch rough-in makes it fit in any traditional full bathroom setup. The use of vitreous china is a bonus, as is the sleek-looking chrome-plated lever. Some users might also appreciate the telescoping seat feature as it offers a neat way to conceal the seat’s edges.

Yorkville
Pressure-assisted and easy installation.
| Toilet Type | Water Usage | Dimensions (in.) | Material | Seat Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-piece, Elongated | 1.6 GPF | 29 ¾ x 20 ½ x 24 ¼ | Vitreous China | 15 inches | 107 lbs |
Slightly noisier than your average toilet, the Yorkville model is one of the most powerful ones on the market. Unfortunately, it can cause some auditory discomfort, particularly at night.
With that said, the pressure-assisted flushing system does have some situational uses you might want to consider. The compressed air helps the Yorkville model achieve a 1.6 GPF rating with superior expulsion power.
The presence of the EverClean surface is excellent for maintaining hygiene, while the Speed Connect coupling system makes the installation process very easy, even for the inexperienced buyer.
Despite being clearly heavy compared to most alternative models, it’s also very balanced and durable, featuring only premium materials and a strong build.

Champion 4
Good price, good warranty.
| Toilet Type | Water Usage | Dimensions (in.) | Material | Seat Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-piece, Elongated | 1.28 GPF | 29 ¾ x 17 ¾ x 28 ⅛ | Vitreous China | 15 inches | 111 lbs |
The Champion 4 is another heavy hitter from American Standard. Similar to the Cadet 3, it has a great deal of options when it comes to bowl shape and one/two-piece.
For instance, if you need an ADA-compliant version, you’ll need to get the two-piece. Similarly if you want the Champion 4 in a round version.
The warranty is top notch here too. It has a 10 year warranty. Not lifetime, but the warranty covers the entire toilet.
As for price, you can expect to see a range of $250 – $500. The one-piece version is typically more on the expensive side of that range.
One potential downside with this toilet is that it isn’t sold in all states. You’ll want to check in your specific state to make sure it’s available for purchase.

Town Square
Goodbye clogs, hello beautiful design.
| Toilet Type | Water Usage | Dimensions (in.) | Material | Seat Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-piece, Elongated | 1.28 GPF | 30 ¼ x 16 ⅛ x 30 9/16 | Vitreous China | 16.5 inches | 116.4 lbs |
Perhaps the most distinguishing element of the Town Square is actually the look of it. It’s reminiscent of the Kohler Kathryn. The old, yet classy style is felt with both toilets.
This one piece version allows for easier cleaning. However, like many one-piece toilets, it’s cumbersome to maneuver, so you’ll need two people for installation if you plan on doing that yourself.
The Town Square is a Right Height toilet, so it meets ADA requirements. Additionally, because it uses only 1.28 GPF, it’s also WaterSense certified.
From a technical standpoint, this model has a 3 inch flush valve and 2⅛ inch trapway. This combination means is that it’s great at flushing without getting clogged up.
If we had to pick on the Town Square, we would pick on the price. It’s higher than the typical toilet, running between $650 – $950 depending on options. That said, it’s not your typical toilet, it’s much more than that.
