Repairs are often accompanied by updating the plumbing, and this issue should be taken seriously. Many brands strive to offer a good price, unnecessarily cheapening their products by reducing quality. Our editors took it upon themselves to choose the best floor-standing toilet. After analyzing customer reviews over recent years and the features of top models, our experts have identified the twelve most successful for 2021. Toilets not only meet modern quality standards, they are convenient, easy to install and clean, and also have a solid appearance that can complement any interior style.
Cersanit
We previously met with the Polish manufacturer Cersanit , which also deservedly ended up on this list. This was mainly due to the wide range of toilets, which, of course, are not the only products of this brand. However, among the products we are interested in, you can easily find a variety of models, be they made of earthenware or porcelain, hanging, floor-standing or monoblock, with different types of descents. They are also distinguished by the simplicity of their details and minimalism, which is very relevant today. In general, regardless of your preferences, you will certainly find a suitable toilet among the models of this manufacturer.

Roca
The rating opens with the Spanish brand Roca , which quite often flashes before our eyes when it comes to the renovation and arrangement of bathrooms. The products of this brand are of high quality, and the range, even if you take only toilets, is very extensive. And this is despite the fact that the proposals of this manufacturer are usually classified as affordable state employees. However, as we have already noted, this company produces reliable products using quality materials and has a wide network of representative offices around the world. Of course, this is where its popularity comes from. The brand’s products began appearing on the Russian market in 2004 and since then they have been actively maintaining and, in some places, increasing their positions.

Each manufacturer that produces plumbing products offers customers standard and unique models. Therefore, it is easy to get confused in the variety available on the market. Products often experience significant stress, which is why emphasis is placed on quality and durability. There are a number of developers who have proven themselves to be the best and are also in demand among buyers.

A little closer to the beginning of our list, we briefly mentioned such a Swiss company as LAUFEN Bathrooms , which in the vastness of the domestic market is known simply as LAUFEN . This brand has been producing high-quality premium plumbing products for more than 125 years, which can say a lot about the professionalism and experience of the company as a whole. They are also confirmed by many other nuances, such as the use of environmentally friendly components or modern creative product design. Economical water consumption and increased hygiene of plumbing due to the WonderGliss water-repellent coating are other advantages of toilets from this brand.

Material of manufacture
When choosing a toilet, you should pay attention to what it is made of. Indeed, in addition to earthenware, there is a large selection of materials: plastic, glass, natural stone, steel, cast iron. But porcelain is the highest quality and most durable. It is from porcelain that expensive types of plumbing fixtures are produced.
- Plastic is the cheapest type of material. The quality matches the price. Such structures are short-lived and susceptible to deformation, but are lightweight and easy to install. Basically, toilets made of plastic are a country option, or an option for dry toilets.
- Steel is a stronger and more durable material. Installed in public places. Stainless steel repels water and dirt. And the durable design protects against aggressive people.
- Cast iron is less popular than steel. This is due to its heaviness and relative fragility. And it will not last long in operation. Basically, such systems are installed in public places where there are not many people.
- Earthenware is the most common type of material for plumbing. The ideal balance of “price – quality” has made faience the most popular among materials for toilets. The top of the toilet is also covered with enamel, which is a repulsive coating.
- Porcelain is made from the same clays as earthenware. Only all impurities are washed out of it. Because of this, porcelain becomes stronger and more durable. The price for it is appropriate.
- Natural stone is the most expensive and high-quality material. This type of material will last a long time. It is also hygienic. Toilets made of natural stone will be appreciated by those who have very large budgets and love design preferences such as baroque, classic and renaissance.
In addition to the toilet itself, you can equip your “white friend” with such devices as a bidet, a heated seat and an automatic flush. The Japanese are the most sophisticated in this regard. And in public places, toilets are stuffed with the newest and most advanced inventions. For example: backlight (I don’t know why), changing the height level.
If you are a pregnant woman, a special button will allow you to relieve yourself as conveniently as possible. All these technological innovations, at the request of the customer, can now be bought at any plumbing store, if your wallet allows it.

The best faucets
Ifo
The middle price segment in the toilet category is also occupied by several interesting and popular manufacturers, one of which is the Swedish brand Ifo . Like some of the other manufacturers on this list, we've encountered this brand before when looking at the shower category. Since then, nothing much has changed for them. The brand is still part of the Geberit , specializing in the production of sanitary ceramics and other bathroom elements using modern technologies, as well as other current developments in the involved areas of production. As for the toilets of this brand, they are primarily characterized by increased comfort and convenience, which is universally noted by users who are satisfied with their purchase.

Santek
If we talk about domestic brands of sanitary ceramics, then perhaps one of the most famous in Russia is the manufacturer Santek . The starting point for the origin of the brand is considered to be 1995, so we can confidently judge that the manufacturer has some experience in its field. Well, if you suddenly worry about the level of quality of their products, especially when you see quite acceptable and relatively small price tags, then you should know that since 2007 this brand has been part of the Roca Group concern, which is located above. This allows the company to achieve the coveted combination of reasonable price and high quality that meets European norms and standards.

Jika
Another popular European brand with a rich history is Jika . This manufacturer was originally engaged in ceramic products and began its work back in the 19th century in the Czech Republic. Already after the twenties of the Goths of the last century, they actively began to produce sanitary ceramics, which were of satisfactory quality at a fairly low cost. Similar motives can still be traced in the brand’s products, although the overall quality has naturally increased significantly since those times. Since 1991, this brand has become part of the larger Swiss company LAUFEN Bathrooms, which we will definitely talk about later. Functionality and comfort distinguish the products of this Czech manufacturer, which has allowed them to become popular among the majority of buyers on the domestic market.
