Real Plumber Reacts to $99 vs $499 Toilets 🚽💰 | Which One Is Worth It?
Today I’m reacting to a video from my buddy Jeff Lerman where he tests toilets ranging from $99 all the way up to $499. And let me tell you… when it comes to toilets, you really do get what you pay for.
We’re talking:
Flush power 💪
Bowl wash performance
Glazing quality
Trap design
Water spot depth
And yes… even the famous golf ball test 😂
As a licensed plumber, I’ve installed just about every brand out there—Glacier Bay, American Standard, Kohler, Toto—you name it. In this reaction, I break down what I look for in a quality toilet, why glazing matters more than most people realize, and why some toilets need a plunger way more often than others.
We also talk about:
Why elongated seats are a game changer
The truth about “self-cleaning” toilets
Wall-hung and high-end smart toilets (yes… some even have remotes and sound systems!)
Why I personally run a Toto Washlet bidet seat at home
If you’re a homeowner thinking about upgrading your toilet—or a plumber trying to decide what to recommend to customers—this video is for you.

Drop a comment below and tell me:
What toilet do you recommend most?
What brand do you sell the most?
What do you upgrade customers to when they want “the best”?
And if you’re DIY-ing your own bathroom renovation, make sure you check out Jeff’s channel at Home Renovation DIY. The guy knows what he’s doing.
