I don't know why Toto products aren't more popular and easy to find / purchase here in the US.

Over the years in my trips to Japan, I've never encountered a Toto plumbing product that failed to impress - showerheads / handheld showers, toilets, toilet seat (heater, bidet, etc), faucets, etc.

I've been struggling to find a nice shower head over the years, going across major brands and a wide price range. Nothing really fit the bill.

I just bought a Toto handheld shower. Simple. One setting. I love it.

Are there BMWs, Benz's, Lexus' of the toiletry world? Sure. But I'm really fine with my Toyota level Toto Drake toilet and new shower head. Simple. Work well. Reasonably priced.

Me too. I'm disappointed.

You just have to look in the right places...they won't be in Big Box stores.

They are pretty easy to find in plumbing supply stores. When I last replaced all my toilets, I went to a place in Natomas that had a wide selection. My plumber picked up what we wanted at a different place that he did business with at a contractor price

Plumbing supply houses and Amazon are your friend.
I have gotten my last 2 toilets on Amazon.
Sadly the first tank lid was poorly made and water would splash out the gap. Toto replaced the lid quickly.

Though a lot of their manufacturing is now being done in China.

Toto is awesome.

I spec that stuff a few times each week. It's less Toyota and more Lexus. It just works and works well. Looks pretty damn good too.

Grohe also makes great faucets and shower heads.

Toto is good stuff. We recently remodeled two bathrooms and we used Toto toilets and sinks. Great quality and nice design. You can find some on Amazon and any large plumbing supply center should be able to order them.

We also used Grohe and Hansgrohe faucets and shower hardware.

I got the new Toto shower from Amazon. I went to a local plumbing store, supposedly one of the larger in the area, but it was very disappointing. Physically large store but with only a single Toto shower head. And a bunch of cheap stuff that I think is even below HD quality.

It's disappointing that these good products aren't more prevalent and readily available in brick and mortar, just like Moen, Grohe, Delta, etc.
