If your toilet just keeps breaking down and needs to be fixed, it may be a smart investment to pay your maintenance person who knows how to perform commode repair to just install a new toilet for you instead of having them continue to fix your old toilet. When looking for a new toilet, the two major factors you need to take into consideration is noise and size.

Noise

When choosing a toilet, think about where it is located and how much noise is okay. A toilet that is located in your downstairs basement and play room may be okay to operate louder, whereas a toilet that is located right next to your bedroom may not be as reasonable.

The noisiest types of toilets tend to be pressure-assisted toilets. There are a lot of great benefits that come with pressure-assisted toilets, such as a clean towel bowl that never clogs. However, one of the downsides is that they tend to be really loud.

Look into the noise rating of any toilet that you are interested in purchasing to make sure that it fits within your noise tolerance levels.

Size

There are numerous size elements that you need to take into consideration when purchasing a toilet.

Length

To start with, you need to pay attention to how long the toilet is. You need to make sure that you have enough space between your toilet and the wall, or the bathtub or whatever else is directly in front of the toilet, to make sitting there comfortable.

Height

The next thing you need to take into consideration is the height of the toilet. Some toilets are a little taller, and some are a little shorter, than the standard size. A shorter toilet is great if you have a bathroom for children or if your family is a little on the shorter side. A taller toilet may work well if you need a handicap accessible toilet or if you have really tall family members. Make sure the height of the toilet works well for your family's needs.

Bowl Shape

Then there is the shape of the actual bowl or seat. Round bowls are nice if you are short on space in your bathroom as they don't take up that much space. However, although they take up more space, many people find that elongated bowls are more comfortable.

When purchasing a toilet, be sure to consider all the different size parameters in order to find the right toilet to fit your space and your unique needs.
