Why Gerber?
Gerber toilets are distinguished by their flush technology. The flush technology is fast and efficient with most units. They also have an 8 cm flush valve that provides a powerful and efficient water flow. The water will flow faster, which provides a stronger flush and helps to remove waste. The flush valve is also corrosion-resistant, durable, reliable, easy to replace, and highly reliable.
Gerber is a great choice for families with people with disabilities. Gerber units can be adjusted to meet ADA requirements. Standard units have a 38 cm seat height. Gerber units are also energy-efficient and WaterSense certified. Some toilets use less than 5 Liters of water per flush, while others are extremely efficient.
Gerber Toilets Special Features
First, let’s mention that all Gerber toilets come with a FluidMaster flapper. This is a part of the valve that stops water from running continuously from the tank and prevents weak flushes. This valve also keeps the toilet quiet, which is an added benefit.
All toilets are equipped with an ErgoHeight bowl. The bowl height is 42 cm, which makes it ideal for elders and young children. Their Dual-Fed Siphonic Jets dramatically increase flush pressure and create incredible suction.
Gerber units also have a glazed trapway that is coated with a glaze to make it slippery. This will ensure that the toilet is cleaner longer and does not leave any marks.
Review Of Top 5 Gerber Toilets
1. Gerber Viper With Elongated Bowl
This toilet is a great choice for older and modern bathrooms. It is made of durable ceramics and, although it does not have any special coatings, the surface keeps dust and waste from sticking to it.
It also features a color-matching lever on the right, which adds to its minimalistic design.
Gerber Viper flushes efficiently with just 6 Liters of water thanks to its dual-fed siphonjet. We love how simple it is to install this unit. Everything you need to install the unit comes in the box, including the wax rings, floor bolts, and toilet seat. We were disappointed in the quality of this lever. It is made of metal-like material but it can still crack and break.
Pros
Simplistic design
Flushing very efficient
2. Gerber Maxwell 21-970
Gerber Maxwell may be the best option if you are looking for a wall-hung unit. The toilet is manufactured in China and has a great performance.
This WaterSense certified toilet flushes with 6 Liters of water, just like the previous one. It will averagely reduce your monthly water bill by 20%.
It is also ADA-certified which means it is suitable for children and persons with disabilities. It has a MaP score of 600g, which may not be sufficient in certain cases. Toilets in this category have a higher score, and can even exceed 1000 grams. The company also offers a 5-year warranty for vitreous china.
Pros
Chinaware comes with a 5-year warranty
WaterSense and ADA certification
3. Gerber Allerton
Although Gerber offers some great warranty options, we didn’t expect the 10-year warranty. The toilet is constructed of high-quality parts, and performs amazing. The toilet has an 800 gram MaP score and comes with a Fluidmaster Fill Valve, which improves anti-siphon operation. It is also durable. It is corrosion-resistant and easy to replace.
This Gerber model has an elongated bowl, and the WaterSense certification. It is not ADA-certified so it may not be suitable for people with disabilities or young children. The toilet is still relatively affordable. However, if you desire Biscuit colors, you will have to pay more.
Pros
Fill valve that is corrosion-resistant
Great warranty deal
Excellent price
4. Gerber 21-372
We were impressed by the positive reviews and decided to give this unit a shot. The package contained every part you would need to install the unit when it arrived. We did however crack the base during tightening, and had to reorder.
Although the unit is WaterSense certified it still uses 7 Liters for each full flush. The Ultra Flush is also more powerful due to slightly higher water consumption. You will be able to see that the waste is not stuck due to the coating and surface. Skid marks are extremely rare.
Pros
WaterSense certified
Superb Ultra Flush
5. Gerber Avalanche
Let’s take a look at Gerber Avalanche, an excellent option if you are looking for quality at an affordable price. Avalanche is the unit with the highest MaP score, at 1000 grams. This is amazing. A double-nut mounting system and a Fluidmaster fill valve are included. The seat height is adjustable, making it suitable for all ages, even children. The seat is not included in this package.
Its extremely powerful dual-fed siphon significantly improves flush speed and results in a high MaP score. The water surface is large, which allows for complete cleaning of the bowl on every flush. This model uses approximately 7 Liters per flush and will save you about 13,909 Liters each year. This product is not WaterSense certified. It is almost a standard today.
Pros
Annual water savings of approximately 13,909 Liters
Excellent MaP score
Affordable
Buying Guide: How Do I Buy The Perfect Toilet?
It can be hard to decide between the many toilets on the market if you’re buying your first toilet. We have some great tips for you!
Considerations When Buying A Toilet
Bathroom Size
When buying a new toilet, the first thing you need to consider is how big your bathroom will be. All the toilets in this list have elongated tubs. Even though the bowl is only a few inches larger than normal, it can be a significant difference. It is better to choose a smaller, more compact, round-shaped toilet if your bathroom is small.
The Height and the Length
Even if you have a large bathroom, the length and height of your toilet is also important. You may find it uncomfortable to sit on the toilet, and you might not be able put your feet flat on ground. You should also remember that children under the age of 5 cannot sit fully back on the toilet. The long toilets will force them to sit at the edge. This could lead to waste falling on the toilet’s edge, which would require more frequent cleaning.
The color of the toilet
You should also consider the color. While most units are available in white today, you might prefer a different color depending on the style of your bathroom. You should also remember that different toilets have different colors at different prices. You might have to pay more if you choose a Biscuit color for your Gerber bathroom.
One-piece, Two-Piece
It is important to decide whether you prefer a one-piece or a two-piece toilet. A one-piece unit, for example, is more difficult to transport, while a 2-piece unit is simpler to maintain. You will also need to replace the entire unit if the toilet is broken.
Wall-Hung and Floor-Mounted Units
Wall-hung units usually have a seat above the floor and the tank behind the wall. These units give bathrooms a modern, contemporary feel. However, floor-mounted units have a visible tank behind their bowl, so they might not appear as luxurious.
Warranty
When purchasing a new unit, make sure you consider the warranty.
Most elongated-bowl toilets last a long time and are very durable. It is a good idea to have a warranty in case of damage to any small parts.
Why You Should Buy An Extended Bowl Toilet
Gerber toilets come with elongated bowls, as mentioned. Elongated bowl units offer many benefits. They are easy to use at first, especially for men, as they have larger dimensions that are more difficult to miss. They are also more comfortable that their round counterparts. These units are designed to support the thighs and allow for longer sitting on the toilet. The larger opening makes it easier to clean and prevents you from touching the seat while wiping. Larger dimensions make it easier to clean elongated bowls.
A unit with an extended bowl is better for clogging. They can hold more water and handle bigger wastes better than standard units. They are also sleek and suitable for modern bathrooms.
Bottom Line
Gerber toilets are a great choice if you’re looking for a toilet that works well and is affordable. Gerber products are strong, durable, and easy to install.
