ᐅ Experiences with Rimless Toilets

We also have a rimless toilet; it’s a house brand from a well-known supplier of our plumber, so nothing special.

That’s sufficient, as this ceramic is not really "worse" than a comparable branded product. Perhaps it lacks a specific glazing "x" or coating "y"—whatever these inventive terms might mean (I'm sure @wrobel can explain)—compared to another supplier of similar bathroom fixtures. Often, the choice of sanitaryware is related to prestige.

I chose the rimless version simply because it is easier to clean; consistently throughout all wet rooms. I don’t care at all which name is stamped on the ceramic... and I know many who feel the same... their toilets all serve the same purpose.

And as always, it’s usually the seat and lid that wear out first, not the ceramic.

Better this way than the other way around. I’d rather replace the seat than the entire unit.

Standard seats should work with many systems (for example, ours, as mentioned on the previous page), but often it doesn't make sense visually to use them. There’s usually a reason for the original design. A seat can last several years and doesn’t cost a fortune in the end.

But seriously... just visit a showroom and sit down – for example, I found the Toto model way too large, others uncomfortable, and so on.

My wife was initially enthusiastic about the Toto model in the showroom. My then 3-year-old daughter was too. Both tested its practical use (it was installed as a guest toilet) – nobody fell in . There was special excitement about the "whirlpool" effect (hence Tornado Flush).
What can a man do when two women have already made up their minds? Then the price was no longer an argument.

Well, the seat and the lid shouldn’t get wet either.

Here I can proudly say – even with the seat up, nothing splashes over. Everything stays where it should.
Except: our 3-year-old points his little stream (while sitting) in the wrong direction and enjoys how well he is peeing .

Okay, thanks for the info.

What I’m personally still interested in – and I’ve kind of lost track – for which rimless models can you mount standard seats (e.g., from home improvement stores)?

Honestly, I can’t say exactly. We took the seat with soft-closing function from the manufacturer. We didn’t ask further.

Is it possible that Toto does not offer urinals?
I can’t find any information about them, or am I just overlooking something?

We purchased the RIO wall-mounted toilet from Toom hardware store... at the time, the price was reduced from 199 euros to 159 euros, so we bought two (for the guest bathroom and the main bathroom). We installed them ourselves... Cleaning is very easy, but we still occasionally experience splashing... There is an opening in the middle that releases a jet of water to the left, right, and downward. These jets meet at the lower edge of the bowl in the center, which causes the splashing... The toilet is now being sold at the regular price of 139 euros.

The rimless toilets from Villeroy & Boch are also frequently advertised there for around 150-160 euros... maybe those are better? Unfortunately, for us, it’s too late...

I am also curious about which toilet fresheners you use? Normal ones don’t work properly without a rim. I have been using the fresh seal stamps for a while...

No more toilet fresheners.
For a while, my wife used something similar that you "stick inside." But she stopped using those as well.
