There's usually like a stick with a brush thing on the end beside the bog for pushing the logs round the bend. It may have other uses.

It’s the cheap toilet paper that gets me an the aul brown finger

Learn to shit at school or work .

do smaller shits

It’s fuck all to do with it being rimless, whoever fitted it for you hasn’t set the cistern fittings correctly, it’s either not letting in enough water to the cistern, or not set to let out enough water into the bowl. Or both!

We have a clean flush toilet at work with the little flap thing that directs the water around... It does do a better job of cleaning the bowl. As an IBS sufferer, that's great. But I have on occasion splattered the damn flap and it doesn't clean itself.

Got a Estilo rimless for $149 from Bunnings, great for the price. Cleaning is much easier and even safer as I don't have to crouch to look under the rim. The soft close seat is shit but not damaging, flush power has slightly declined over 3 years but it gets the job done. Overall it's a solid unit, like many I've dropped into it.

I have one and adore it, they are so so much more hygienic and cleaner and slightly higher which my back issues love

Got one. Would recommend for sure.

We got the standard Luna in our recent reno. The rimless ones look pretty good but went the standard option. It's in a laundry not our main toilet. No big deal.

Not sure if they changed the design, but the rear two rubber bumpers under the seat that are supposed to cushion and contact the bowl did not sit on the bowl at all, so every time you sat down it levered the lid away from the cistern and when you got up the lid would bang against the cistern. It would have cracked that fitting eventually. Really annoying. Got a Caroma guy out to fit slightly taller bumpers which fixed it.

For a reasonably priced against the wall toilet, they're pretty good. Not a particularly comfy seat, but it does the job.

Toto toilets with their tornado flush seems to go along rim. I don’t have one so I can’t speak to effectiveness. They also have a pre-misting function to produce a water barrier.

I have a Toto topper/bidet and it does a spray of the bowl after using it, and that does help. But I’m guessing the full toilets do a much better job.

The highest end Toto bidets have “e-water” cleaning that sprays the inside down with hypochlorous acid.

I actually bought a hypochlorous acid appliance(~$150) and make my own that I use to spray down the toilet manually, way less expensive than the $1200 Toto.

I don't have a self cleaning toilet, but a Clorox toiletwand with disposable soap-loaded sponges makes it a lot easier to clean the toilet frequently!

I know many recommended Toto’s but even those you need to clean. I got Nexus with S7A washlet and all the bells and whistles, it gets gross pretty quick if I don’t keep up with cleaning

lol. We def leave some poop on the bowl. Hahaha

Bowl jets are clogged,CLR maybe ( calcium,lime and rust)

Might want to stop with the blue stuff in the tank, hard on flush componants.

Mirror? Just stick your head in there and take a look.

I honestly think you have a partial clog in that line pour a 5 gallon bucket of water and see how it drains.

The blue water sure looks pretty doesn’t it🤔Too bad it is going to destroy all the rubber seals inside that tank

I wish someone had answered this bc I have a similar but way less informed question & you put it so succinctly! So thank you for posing it anyway.

Bumping this because I have had no answers. Anyone?

I bet that's just a made up excuse for a bad design, there's nothing stopping you examining your poo when it's submerged in water and more importantly who the fuck examines their poo in the first place, now or ever?

I have never understood why non stick technology never found its way into the toilet sector.

Strange things happen when turdling round the twist.

In my toilet the pool is wider than the exit to the u-bend so my turds have a habit of sitting sideways and getting stuck wh we re no amount of flushes will budge them. I'm considering getting a poop knife.

I’m in a new build, toilet is like that. It then takes one flush for most of the solids, another flush to get rid of the last of the paper and a third flush for the loo brush.

Pretty sure it’s meant to save water…

Yes this exactly with my in laws. Lived with them for a couple of years and always had to lay loo roll down before my morning number 2.

FIL helped do up our house and when replacing the loo kept wanting to buy the same one as his. No thank you.

Siphon suction would occur if you did it that way.

Decisions, decisions...

I have both in my home, unless someone is in “my” bathroom I avoid the round bowl like the plague. The elongation gives you freedom, if you use the round bowl you run the risk of your junk touching the bowl.

Every time I have to use the round bowl I’m reminded why I will never own another once this one is gone.

As for flush capacity that is determined by the throat size where the tank dumps into the bowl, the throat size between the bowl and the plumbing, and finally the water capacity of the tank.

He's right about elongated toilets from years ago, but the modern ones are just great. Even the cheapest ones are quite good. I have no qualms about using Glacier Bay dual flush toilets and I never have to use a plunger.

If I got an elongated toilet, especially in my powder room, my knees would touch the wall. And in the master bathroom the toilet would stick out past the vanity and that would look like shit.

> they are more modern in terms of resale value or wow factor.

Short of one that potty trains your kids for you, no toilet is going to "wow" anybody or affect the resale value of the house as long as it flushes. Pick the toilet you want. They are cheap and easy to swap out later if you want.

Elongated if it’s a full size bathroom. If it’s a smaller room there’s issues with doors not being able to open. There’s a reason they still make round toilets.

I love elongated, but that's because i am 6'4" and it fits my larger frame and A$$ much better. Round works, but man, it's just not the same. I say, have compassion for your fellow taller larger humans, and put in the elongated.

Those of us with tiny bathrooms respectfully disagree.
