1. While the technologies vary, what really matters is performance.

2. You’ll need a tool beside your toilet: do you prefer a plunger or a brush?
3. Look for models that meet the new High Efficiency Toilet (HET) standard to maximize water and money savings.

4. In general, more expensive does not mean better.

5. To ensure comfort, try out a variety of toilets with different heights, seat shapes and rim designs.
