Saniflo offers 3 dual-flush toilets models in the lineup we track. This page is the Saniflo-specific cut of the broader Dual-Flush Toilets toilets category — same product class, narrowed to the Saniflo catalog only.
Saniflo (a division of SFA-Saniflo, founded 1958 in Brécy, France) pioneered the macerating toilet — a small electric pump unit that grinds waste and pushes it up through a 3/4-inch discharge pipe to an existing soil stack as far as 15 vertical feet away. The Sanicompact, Saniaccess, and Sanibest Pro lines are the workhorses for basement bathrooms, garage conversions, and pool houses where below-grade installation would otherwise require breaking concrete. Saniflo is the named brand in 70%+ of US searches for "upflush toilet" and "macerating toilet system."

If you're cross-shopping dual-flush toilets beyond Saniflo, the following brands also ship in this category:
A dual-flush toilet has two buttons (or a split lever): a half-flush for liquid waste — typically 0.8 to 1.1 GPF — and a full flush for solids at 1.28 to 1.6 GPF. The water savings are real over a year. The maintenance reality is less talked about.
A standard 1.28 GPF toilet uses a single flush mechanism — flapper or piston — that releases a fixed volume of water with each flush. A dual-flush uses a cylinder-style flush valve with two trip points: pressing the smaller button (or pushing the lever down) opens the valve for a shorter duration; the larger button opens it longer. The 3-inch or 4-inch valve seat at the bottom of the tank is larger than a traditional flapper, allowing higher-velocity water release in less time.
