Drake Two-Piece Elongated 1.28 GPF Toilet
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
TORNADO FLUSH clears the bowl in one flush on just 1.28 gallons
The TOTO Drake is the two-piece toilet that plumbers and review sites keep coming back to. This is the 1.28 GPF version in Cotton White with an elongated bowl and a 12 inch rough-in, so it drops into most standard layouts. Its TORNADO FLUSH uses two angled nozzles instead of rim holes to spin water around the bowl, which clears waste in a single flush while using only 1.28 gallons, and the CEFIONTECT glaze leaves the ceramic so smooth that less sticks to it between cleanings. The result is a toilet that flushes hard, runs quiet, and stays clean with less scrubbing. It carries a left-hand chrome trip lever and ships as tank plus bowl with the mounting hardware. Two things to plan for: this is the standard-height Drake (TOTO also sells a taller Universal Height version), and the seat is not included, so budget for a TOTO SoftClose seat or a WASHLET bidet seat.
