High-Efficiency Toto Aimes Toilet Review in 2024

Material: Vitreous China (Why Choose This Material?)

With the Toto Aimes toilet, worrying about how long it will last is unnecessary. This is because it is constructed using vitreous china, a sturdy and long-lasting material. It is a coating applied to porcelain or ceramic to smooth the surface. So the toilet prevents rings, spills, stains, or scrapes. The manufacturer also offers a warranty, which helps to instill confidence in the buyers as they can get a replacement in case of damage.

Bowl Type: Elongated (Who Should Buy This?)

The Toto Aimes is a comfortable toilet with an elongated bowl design. This bowl is more comfortable than round bowls because it offers more sitting space. An elongated bowl is much easier to clean. But you need enough space in the bathroom as the seat size is bigger than a round toilet seat. For compact bathrooms, a round toilet seat is recommended.

Height: Comfort Height (Is it more comfortable than a regular toilet?)

Besides having a comfortable elongated bowl, this toilet has a cozy height bowl. This makes sitting down or standing up to be easy. Additionally, the comfort height is ideal for many people compared to the toilet’s standard bowl height. Most comfort-height toilets are between 17 and 19 inches tall, while regular toilets can be up to 15 inches tall. So the toilet is best suited for tall adults, not kids. It is better suited for people with disabilities as well.

Flush: Tornado Cyclone (How Powerful the Flushing System is?)

One of the most exceptional features of the Toto Aimes toilet is its Tornado flushing system. The flushing system is powerful and ensures that all waste in the bowl is cleared in a single flush. So, no more waste buildup in the bowl.

The Tornado flushing system is an upgraded version of the Double Cyclone flushes with three jets instead of 2 that are better clean under the rim. Also, the system uses less water and produces less noise than traditional toilets.

Since it has a dual nozzle water propulsion system, it flushes more consistently when compared to the traditional rim hole, which can be found on most toilets.

Finish– SanaGloss ceramic glaze (How does it help maintain the toilet?)

Many homeowners hate cleaning the toilet more often. The Toto Aimes toilet eases things with a powerful tornado-flushing system that clears contents swiftly. Almost all Toto toilets have a Sanagloss finish (Cefiontect), a patented glaze. It cleans the toilet particles from sticking to the bowl surface. But you need to spend an additional $40-$60 compared to a regular bathroom without Cefiontect. The SanaGloss ceramic gaze also helps prevent a buildup of bacteria, dirt, and germs on the surface of the toilet. As a result, cleaning is greatly minimized, and fewer cleaning chemicals will be used in the long run.

Design: Skirted (Why should you avoid a non-skirted toilet?)

The nooks and crannies are located behind the bowl. The streamlined skirted design of the toilet hides the Trapway making the toilet more beautiful. Toto offers a Skirted in most of its high-end toilet designs. Since the Trapway is concealed, cleaning is made easy.

The modern seamless design will make your bathroom more attractive. But the toilet is expensive and difficult to install (need to hire a plumber) compared to regular exposed trapway toilets.

Seat: SoftClose/No Slam (Is the heart included?)

The Toto Aimes one-piece toilet hahas an elongated SoftClose seat, so you won’t be required to buy a seat separately. With this toilet seat, you won’t have to slam it anymore as it has a durable stainless steel hinge that slows down as it lowers the seat and lid.

Water Usage: High-Efficiency (Is the toilet EPA certified?)

The toilet is ADA and EPA WaterSense certified, which means it is environmentally friendly and utilizes 20% less water than traditional bathrooms.

This is a high-efficiency toilet, as it only uses 1.28 gallons per flush. You will be able to save water and get rebates in some states. The tornado flush system is also very efficient; you will not have to flush twice.

Rough-in: 12-inch (Is it a standard measurement?)

The toilet has a 12-inch rough-in size, standard for your modern bathroom. And it has an optional rough-in of 10” and 14”, but they are expensive and have limited options. So, I always recommend a 12-inch rough as it can prevent clogs, dampness, and humidity.

Conclusion

The Toto Aimes toilet is beautifully designed to fit in compact bathrooms, offer great performance, and save water at the same time. This great investment will ease your work of cleaning the toilet as the powerful Tornado flushing system, and the SanaGloss finish simplify things for you. If you want to add a washlet, you can do so, as it comes with clean lines for wiring.

What we don’t like:

  • It is pretty heavy and difficult to install. You will need a helping hand to install it safely and easily.
  • It has a left-handed trip lever

Hi, this is Robert Crossan, the owner of this website, has 17 years of experience in the installation, maintenance, and repair of toilets and plumbing systems. After completing the Level 2 Basic Plumbing course in 2005, I started working in both domestic and commercial buildings as a professional plumber. So I can figure out the core difference between different toilet models and brands. It also helped me monitor their work performance and setbacks.

  1. I have an 11 inch rough-in for a 17 yr old ultra max Toto one piece elongated toilet. Will the Aimes model work ? Will the dimensions require any modifications(I have ceramic tiles)?

    • Toto Aimes rough-in is 12″. But, this TOTO Aimes skirted models can be adapted to 11″ with the purchase of a separate outlet adapter.

  2. Other than the design, what is the difference between this Aimes skirted model and the similar, but more expensive Carolina model as far as quality, function and features?? Both can be upgraded to the washlet features, that I know. We would not need or want the washlet feature, maybe down the road a few years. Thanks for the information that will be helpful. Gar Petersen

    • Same Product. Not much difference in quality, function, and features.
      The only difference I have found that Toto Aimes Water Surface 7-3/4″ x 9-3/8″ and Carolina II Water Surface 6-7/8″ x 9-3/4″.
