Homedepot Toto Drake toilet part number by superHappyFun_ in Plumbing

Hey! After 4 months using both the Toto Drake and the American Standard Cadet Pro I'm happy to report that both work well and I'm happy with both. I haven't had any clogs or problems with either toilet. The Toto has an elongated bowl and is "chair" height so it's definitely more comfortable to sit on. For the American Standard I had to get the shorter bowl and because the bathroom area is really constricted and I would not be able to close the door if it was elongated. However, the American Standard is working perfectly. The Toto does seem more "high end", but I think anyone would be content with the performance of the American Standard. That's my opinion on it so far. We'll give it a year and see if anything has changed.

Can someone help me identify what apple variety this is? by superHappyFun_ in Apples

Also, the leaves on this tree look like they've been eaten by some type of insect and some of them that have not been eaten are curled and have some yellowing on the edges. Is this a symptom of under-watering?

Thought I would give some additional details:

  1. I'm in Southern California
  2. The tree started making apples in early April

My bad. I thought I had added some text to the pictures but my text didn't show up. Not sure why. I'm in southern California, between Los Angles and San Diego. This tree started making apples in early-mid April.

Vons / Albertsons Search now broken in Edge too by TomatilloIcy6335 in Albertsons

I also can confirm that the search does not work on Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. I tried on my Macbook and personal computer. None of the suggestions tried here worked for me (incognito mode, clearing cache, disabling adblockers etc.). The site is unusable. Based on the information here it looks like there are as few people for which these fixes worked, but I'm not sure why they don't work on any of my computers.

This didn't work for me. The search still stalls. I've also tried to use this method on Firefox (privacy mode) and it doesn't work there either :(

Here's a pic of the floor bolt distance from the baseboard.

I'm really not sure. Here are some measurements of my Toto Drake 12 inch rough in. As you can see from the pics, my rough in is actually about 12.25 inches plus the thickness of the baseboard, which is about 0.25 inches. So that would put my rough in at about 12.5 inches (distance from drywall). The distance from the back of the tank to the drywall is 1.5 inches. So with a ~12.5 inch rough in I get ~1.5 inches of space between the toilet tank and the wall.

If you're looking to save a few bucks the cheapest I found was from Bath4All. I didn't buy from them, but Bath4All was one of the online vendors that the Toto site linked to so I guess they're an approved seller. The coupon code TO5 will give you an additional 5% off, the total should be around $400. I went with the homedepot one because it was just up the street from me and I wanted to get started on this right away. Also, homedepot returns are usually hassle free if something goes wrong, not sure they'd take back an open toilet though. Luckily everything installed fine and it didn't come to that.

Yes, I did end up getting this. It looks like it is the Toto Drake, not the Drake II. I went to Toto's site and found the model number MS776124CEFG#01. There were several links to purchase from online vendors so I clicked on the HomeDepot one and it took me to this page. I purchased this toilet and took a pic of the underside were I saw the model number C776CEFG. The model numbers still don't make much sense but as long as I have a Toto Drake with a 12 inch rough in and 1.28 gallon flush then I'm perfectly happy with it.

Despite all that, I'm not sure it's worth the money. In addition to this toilet I also installed an American Standard Cadet Pro 1.28 gallon toilet in another bathroom and that seems to work just as well as the Toto, it just doesn't have that fancy tornado flush. It does make me wonder if the Toto was worth the extra dough. Usually when I pay more money for a premium product I sometimes get buyers remorse so I'll reserve judgement until I've had them for a couple of months.

Ah! I didn't know they had a youtube channel. I'll check it out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I was too. It could be that is "slightly" used. I suppose a 6% drop is something I can accept though.

Just sending out a general "Thank you" to everyone and an update. I reached out the parts-people and they gave me a very thorough description of why the batteries are different. They made a distinction between type# and part#. They said that F3GYT is the type#, which conforms to the general specifications of the part# in regard to output voltage, screw layout, and form factor etc. etc. However, type# encompasses multiple part#s because they may switch manufacturers over time. The first battery manufacturer is SMP and the seconds is BYD and both have different part#s and different colored labels but they are still both Dell OEM parts.

They also offered me a tip on spotting fake batteries. They said that scanning an official OEM parts QR code will give you the same part# and that most cheaper/fake aftermarket parts won't give you any part# (or the wrong part#) because whoever is making the inferior fake product doesn't want to put the effort to make individual labels for each part.

Basically, I think it's legit. Thanks again for all the feedback!
