Icera Toilet Reviews – Full Comparisons

People often think that the efficiency of a toilet is gauged by the amount of water it uses. The more the water, the better the flush, right? Well, Icera has proved that that theory couldn’t be more wrong. While the brand is not one of the most popular ones, they make some of the best toilet models in California and the United States in general.

Toilets with the Eco Quattro flushing system use 1.28 gallons of water per flush. As high-efficiency toilets, they remove waste by using water velocity instead of water volume. And due to this low amount of water they consume, they contribute to water savings and reduce water bills.

This system boasts an extra large 3 inch flush valve, rim jets, a large glazed trapway, and direct fed water jets.

What is an Eco Quattro Toilet?

After years of continuous innovation in toilet design and technology, Icera introduced the toilet models with the Quattro flushing system. These toilets were engineered to use 1.28 gallons of water per flush when the industry standard was about 3.5 GPF. Even after over 15 years, the technology is still top-notch, as many standard toilets today use 1.6 GPF.  

Despite the low consumption of water, these toilets deliver high-performance flushing. This gives it an edge over many toilet models on the market. Imagine enjoying a complete flush knowing you’re not worsening the shortage of water supply nationwide or contributing to any environmental threat! What a guilt-free advantage!

And of course, its height of 16 ½ inches makes it really easy to use.

Made of vitreous china, this toilet is crafted into a sleek design with well-defined lines and smooth contours that helps it blend into any bathroom decor. The simple, high-end design of this model makes a solid proof that Icera makes highly efficient toilets in beautiful bodies.

This toilet combines aesthetics and comfort without leaving efficiency behind. Its classic elegance is not unnoticeable; neither is its flushing power. With a style that blends well into different bathroom environments, the Julian model offers exceptional performance.

Featuring Icera’s Eco Quattro flushing technology, the 1.28GPF facilitates total flushing with little water. While most toilets on the market stay at 350 grams of the MaP flush test, this unit clears over 1000 grams!

The flushing performance of this unit combined with its oversized 2⅛ inches trapway makes clogging all but impossible. It is indeed a good buy. When you buy it, you don’t have to worry about getting an extra seat. It comes with one, and not just any seat — a premium silent close seat.

Icera is known for producing toilets that come with simple elegance, and the Icera Muse II doesn’t fall short of that. The sophisticated elongated design is matched with high-quality and durable Vitreous china that promises durability. Unlike many toilets that require separate purchases of seats, this unit comes with a comfortable soft-close seat that has a quick release feature for easy removal during cleaning. 

The Icera Muse II provides exceptional performance with a high-quality flushing system that is built to impress. Its gravity flush and EPA water sense technique work together to facilitate an effective flush with only 1.28 gallons of water. It also has a fully glazed internal trapway that helps pass the waste properly, thus preventing clogging.

Icera’s Vista II is a gravity flush masterpiece that utilizes the brand’s Eco Quattro flushing technology to get rid of waste efficiently. At a flush command, the tank floods the bowl with 1.28 gallons of water, sweeping around the bowl with full force to ensure total removal of waste. The water pressure is also strong enough to scrub the bowl so that there are no residual stains. And with the 2⅛ inch trapway that prevents clogging, the toilet is certainly easy to clean and maintain.

Like other products on this list, this unit blends well with every bathroom decor, from modern to transitional. Even though the bowl is elongated, it manages to be fairly compact. This way, it is not restricted to large bathrooms. As long as you have a 30-inch nook in your bathroom, it works.

There are plenty of positives to find in this updated model’s spec sheet. The biggest deal is that it is 30-50% more efficient than most toilets on the market. Its combination of Icera’s Eco Quattro flushing technology and Rimless wash made sure of that. So when we tell you that this unit is capable of clearing over 1000 grams of solid waste with 1.28 grams of water, you better believe that.

If you’re wondering what the rimless wash feature means, just picture large twin jets at the back of the toilet bowl with an open rim. These jets prevent the collection of grime under the bowl, hence facilitating powerful cleaning and better hygiene.

With all the efficiency it packs, this model is not lost on design. It is crafted into a sleek and compact profile that enhances the look of any bathroom regardless of individual style.

A good toilet should be able to clear solid waste without using too much water, and that’s what Icera’s model is mainly about.
