TOTO Drake Two-Piece Elongated 1.28 GPF Toilet vs TOTO Drake II Two-Piece Elongated 1.28 GPF Toilet

The Drake and Drake II share the same two-piece silhouette and 12-inch rough-in, but they're separated by a generation of flush technology. The original Drake uses TOTO's G-Max flush — a 3-inch flush valve and a single siphon jet, reliable, simple, MaP-rated 800g. The Drake II adopts Tornado Flush (dual nozzles at the back of the rim creating a sustained vortex around the bowl) plus CeFiONtect glaze (ultra-smooth porcelain that resists buildup). The Drake II also bumps the seat to ADA-compliant universal height (17.25 inches floor-to-rim) where the original Drake sits at standard 15-inch height. Bowl-clearing thoroughness: noticeable in real-world use. Price spread: about $130-180 (Drake $340 vs Drake II $480). The cost-per-decade is essentially equal once you factor reduced cleaning labor on the Drake II — but the cash outlay is meaningful at purchase.
