Women will spend more time in the bathroom getting ready than men.

Men average 1 hour and 45 minutes on the toilet per week compared to women that spend 1 hour and 20 minutes per week on the toilet. This is a lot of time spent on the toilet. And if you’re not using the right toilet, you’re not making your experience as comfortable as possible.

You need to choose the right toilet for you.

We’ve reviewed five of the best toilets in existence, and we recommend comparing them by:

• Flush Valve: Standard toilets come with a 2” flush valve, but many Ultramax models come with a 3” valve. A larger valve allows waste to pass through the system with greater ease, reduces clogs and flushes more efficiently overall.
• Gallons Per Flush: The amount of water used in a toilet will cost or save you money. Older toilets use more water, while newer models can flush with 30%+ less water. High-end models use just one gallon of water per flush. This is an environmental decision, and one that can save you money every month.
• Seats: Most toilets come with seats, and a softclose model will allow for a softer close to allow for less of a “noise” when closing your toilet seat.

Buyer’s Guide –  Is The Ultramax or The Ultramax 2 The Right One for You?

Toilets don’t get the same consideration as many other household necessities. As long as a toilet works, most people don’t give them a second thought. And the lack of innovation in the toilet industry is definitely to blame for people not seeking out new toilets.

UltraMax has changed the way people think about toilets.

The discussion over which toilet is the best has started, and as lot of people will need to choose between the Ultramax and Ultramax II. When you make your choice, you’ll need to consider the following:

• Price: A lot of people don’t realize that toilets can be very expensive. You can expect to spend a mid-range amount on most toilets. If you want the best toilet on the list, you’ll need to allocate more for your budget. The main difference you’ll find is in water flow and gallons per flush.
• Size: The height is the most important feature for older people. If the seat height is above 15”, this will be a higher toilet that is a bit easier to get on and off of for users. Higher seats are a nice addition to any home and shouldn’t be overlooked.
• Ultramax II: If you’re looking for the best model with the newest features, the second iteration comes with the self-cleaning Sana Gloss, which is a nice added perk. Later models of the original came with this feature in some cases, but the prices of the older high-end models are similar to the newer models.

Ultramax offers commercial grade toilets at a residential toilet price, and this is why consumers flock to the company.
