Unique Benefits of TOTO Ultramax II Toilets
TOTO toilets come with fantastic options that set them apart from other toilets. Here we list six key features to consider when choosing the TOTO Ultramax II.
★ Comfortable Seat Height
A comfortable seat height is a crucial factor to consider when purchasing a toilet. The Ultramax II has a 17 ¼ -inch toilet seat, similar to a basic dining chair. This height will work well for average to taller individuals, although it may not be as comfortable for shorter people or children. This seat height does qualify for ADA certification, making it perfect for the elderly and physically-challenged individuals.
★ E-Max Flushing System
This toilet offers a great dual cyclone flushing system that’s both quiet and powerful. It easily flushes both solid and liquid waste and helps the bowl stay cleaner longer. Further, due to the CEFIONTECT™ glazed finish, the bowl remains shiny as new and prevents the growth of bacteria.
★ Water-Saving Technology
Just like the TOTO Vespin II, this model comes with Tornado Flush, supporting a 1.28 gallons-per-flush consumption rate. This low gallons-per-flush rate means the toilet is eligible for EPA WaterSense certification, saving both water and money over time. Depending on your location, you can also qualify for rebates on your water bill by installing an EPA WaterSense certified toilet.
★ Wide Color Assortment
★ Durable and Easy-to-Clean Material
Made from durable vitreous china, this model also features CEFIONTECT™ glaze. Thanks to its large trapways, the toilet is less likely to leave waste behind. Additionally, the trapway features a popular Sanagloss finish, which forms an ion barrier that prevents bacteria build-up, stains, and mold. This finish also prevents corrosion, improving the lifespan of the toilet. You’ll want to use mild chemicals when cleaning to avoid any stains or damage to the toilet seat. The toilet also features a SanaGloss finish which forms a specific ion barrier that prevents bacteria buildup, mold, and waste-sticking.
★ Ergonomic Design and Standard Warranty Offered
The Ultramax-II is a one-piece toilet with a chrome-plated trip lever. The unit weighs around 100 pounds and has a slim and solid design. This toilet also comes with a SoftClose toilet seat, which is quite popular among high-end toilets. This seat prevents unintentional slamming, which increases the seat’s lifespan. The seat is also specially designed to ensure maximum comfort. Finally, like other models in the same price range, this toilet includes a 1-year limited warranty.

Toilet Functionality
This toilet works simply and effectively. Pushed by centrifugal force, water travels into the bowl. This surge of water collects all waste, cleaning the bowl completely while minimizing the volume of water needed. Additionally, the flushing mechanism ensures that no water splashes the seat.
Ultramax vs. Two-Piece Toilets (Comparison)
The Ultramax II is a one-piece toilet, which has some advantages. Because the bowl and tank are attached, there is no risk of leakage, and cleaning is easier. However, a drawback to one-piece models is their weight. One-piece toilets are also slightly more expensive, including this model. If you’re looking for a lighter or more affordable option, you might consider a two-piece toilet instead.
Alternatives to Consider
If the Ultramax II isn’t the right choice for you, there are still some great alternatives. For example, considering other TOTO toilets, you could choose the C200, Carlyle II, Eco Soiree, Vespin II, or Aimes. These models all typically fall in the same price range, so they’re worth checking out.

Summary of Recent Reviews
Customers are raving over this one-piece TOTO toilet! The design, glaze, and powerful flush makes this an easy-to-clean toilet. The comfort height and elongated bowl provide a comfortable experience every time. “This is an amazing toilet with an excellent design and flushing system.”
Installation Tips
This one-piece elongated toilet uses a standard 12-inch rough-in for its fitting. Its installation is only a two-bolt process. However, as a single-piece toilet, this model weighs more than two-piece options, so we recommend having someone to help with installation. When installing, make sure that a new toilet seal is used as well.

Yes, cleaning the CEFIONTECT™ and SanaGloss finishes on this toilet will be very simple. All you need is a soft brush and dish soap to get a great clean.
