Types of Toilets & What Type You Should Buy

With the basics covered, let's go over just a few of the common types of toilets. They all contain the common components but have special features.

• Dual-Flush Toilets: These toilets have two flush button options. A half flush is used for liquid waste and a full flush removes solid waste. The half flush option makes the dual-flush toilet a water efficient one. Though their price is higher, the water savings is good for your budget as well as the environment.
• Touchless-Flush Toilets: Smart technology has introduced sensors in many products and toilets are no exception. Touchless-flush toilets limit your exposure to bacteria and are common in high-traffic public bathrooms.
• Two-Piece Toilet: The most common type of toilet, the two-piece toilet has a separate tank and bowl. They are affordable but their installation is a little challenging.
• One-Piece Toilet: As you may have guessed, the tank and bowl are attached on a one-piece toilet. They are more expensive than a two-piece but more durable and smaller.
• Wall-Hung Toilet: If you want an ergonomic, space-saving toilet, then choose a wall-hung toilet. The tank is hidden inside the wall and the toilet bowl is hung on the wall.
• Smart Toilet: The touchless-flush toilet uses smart technology, but there are smart toilets that use more sophisticated technology. Enhancements include seat warmers, motion-activated lighting, bidets, self-cleaning wands, warm-air dryers, and deodorizing seats.
