This toilet’s unique look is one of its best assets. 

Flushing Power

The TOTO Aimes has one of the most effective flushing systems on the market, called the Tornado Flush. The Tornado Flush uses a dual-nozzle system to harness gravity to create a centrifugal force that makes the bowl stay cleaner for longer.

The toilet reliably provides effective, clog-free flushing while using only 1.28 gallons of water per flush. Plus, due to its smooth and sleek surface, it will always keep the bowl perfectly clean, and prevent bacteria, mildew, dirt, and particles from sticking. It’s an ideal choice if you are looking for a powerful, effective, and hygienic unit for your bathroom.

Design Features

The first thing that you’ll notice about the Aimes’s design is its minimalistic, sleek, and luxurious design. The tank is angular and flows nicely into the glossy bowl. The clean geometric shape not only looks elegant, but is also easier to clean due to the lack of nooks and crannies.

The toilet is available in cotton and sedona beige. Made to order models are available in bone, colonial white, and ebony (without CEFIONTECT). A chrome plated trip lever is included.

CEFIONTECT is TOTO’s glaze technology that prevents bacteria and tiny particles from sticking to the toilet’s exterior. This means all you have to do is give the toilet a nice wipe down every other week with mild soap and water. You can purchase the MS626124CEFGA model with CEFIONTECT glaze and the SoftClose seat or the MS626124CEF model without CEFIONTECT and the seat.

The included seat is the SoftClose model, which prevents unintentional slamming. The seat is designed to close slowly once pushed down to avoid noise. The slow closing of the seat also increases the seat’s lifespan by significantly decreasing wear-and-tear.

The Aimes comes with the standard 12” rough-in but a 10” or 14” rough-in is available as well.

One of the great factors of this toilet is that it is ADA compliant, if the trip lever is installed on the approach side. With a seat height of 17.25” and an elongated bowl and seat, the toilet is accessible to all users. What’s better than a toilet that is as comfortable as it is stylish?

TOTO’s premier removable bidet, the Washlet+, is compatible with all models in the Aimes collection. You’ll notice on the TOTO website the Aimes toilet collection consists of different units that look and sound the same except for the letter-number combo at the end of their name.

These letter combos correspond to different control mechanism types for the Washlet+. While this is a minor difference, familiarizing yourself with what control type works best for you makes the overall user experience exponentially better.

Pro and Cons

What We Love
  • 1.28 gpf and Tornado Flush system
  • SoftClose seat included
  • CEFIONTECT glaze
What Need Attention
  • On the expensive side

Summary of Recent Reviews

The TOTO Aimes has over 70% five star reviews on Amazon. Users love the toilet’s quality, angular design, flushing system, and height. The most common complaint is the toilet’s price. Considering the cost of Washlet+, purchasing the Aimes and the bidet results in a pretty hefty upfront cost.

READ AMAZON REVIEWS

Final Verdict

As you can see, the TOTO Aimes is an excellent choice if you are looking for a one-piece unit. Although it comes with a warranty of only one year, it’s relatively affordable and provides some great, useful features.
