Additional Features and Benefits

Here are four additional features of the Toto Vespin II toilet.

#1. Design

This TOTO toilet is made from vitreous china, which makes it sturdy and durable. Its two-piece design features an elongated bowl that offers more room for your legs and a comfortable sitting area.

Its skirted design hides the trap way and with a smooth design. This detail helps make the cleaning process more manageable.

Finally, as mentioned above, the universal seat height of the toilet makes it ADA compliant and suitable for people of all age groups. A chrome trip lever is located on the approachable side of the tank for convenient flushing.

One downside however is that this unit doesn’t come with a toilet seat, so you’ll need to buy a toilet seat and a new seal.

#2. Flushing System

Like the TOTO Washlet, the TOTO Vespin II has a dual cyclone flushing system, which is also known as the Tornado Flush. It consumes only 1.28 gallons of water per flush, which certifies this toilet for EPA WaterSense, meaning buyers qualify for significant rebates on their water bills depending on their location.

#3. Cleaning

This toilet comes with a CEFIONTECT ceramic glaze that keeps its surface clean and shiny, preventing any debris from sticking. When this high-glazed finish is combined with a Tornado flushing system, you get a cleaner and bacteria-free toilet bowl. Additionally, this high-glazed finish prevents the development of stains and mold, and it doesn’t require as much regular manual cleaning.

#4. Ease of Installation

This two-piece unit is incredibly easy to install and comes with a 12-inch rough-in. It is also available in 10-inch and 14-inch options, depending on your specific bathroom. Although it is a two-piece toilet, it’s quite quick and straightforward to install. However, be aware that you might need to change the location of your water supply outlet to avoid interference with the skirt.
