I noticed this is significant lower (bow height) than most of the standard toilets. Why nobody mentioned it? is this over-worry or real concern here?

I don't see that it's any lower than any other standard toilet. I'm a bathroom remodeler and install a lot of them. No complaints. Are you comparing it to a comfort height toilet, which is higher.

this is definitely one of the shortest "standard" (non-ADA) toilets out there which is exactly why I'm buying it. ADA "comfort height" must have a minimum height and for those of us with short legs, they are incredibly UNcomfortable. there is no standard for standard height toilets- even the Toto standard height toilets are all different, but it's nice because they give you a variety of configurations to choose from. 14.5 inches, baby. never thought I'd get excited about a toilet.. but I'm very happy my feet will no longer be dangling.

Bowl height is 15". With seat it is 16". Doesn't cause a problem for us and we are 60+. If your concerned, they do make chair height toilets.

A standard height toilet like this one is really good if there are small kids who also need to use the toilet since they can reach it better.

I believe you meant Bowl instead of bow. The bowl, as far as I can tell, isn't must different than other toilets. Overall the toilet works great. The "water spot" meaning target for the "stuff" to hit seems smaller but hasn't really been a problem for us.

I'm not sure what you mean by bow height but I had 2 of these toilets installed about a month ago and they are absolutely great.

Yes to both. I have an elongated and higher toilet. The legs will wobble a bit, but, is very sturdy. I've been using mine the last 4 months. Works great.

Yes, no problem just take out the bowl and adjust the height~we also had to leave the toilet lid up because it works better, very nice commode for the price...

Seat height is irrelevant. You do NOT want this toilet if its been like the TWO I purchased. There is little power to the flush. There is some floating toilet paper after every flush that it can't seem to suck up. I have to clean this toilet 3X per week because it starts to get a gross growth under the water line. I don't believe that the toilet is made well enough or of good enough materials.

Seems to be a tough answer as the actual toilet the unit is attached to is likely completely different. Ours works and is positioned just fine.

NO! Definitely NOT!!! I had to buy a new toilet because of this. I had a good Toto. It was taken apart to install the elongated riser. The bolts did not fit the Toto. I will trash the elongated riser without ever using it!~ The manufactures should have stated that it will not fit all toilets! Another waste of my good money!

I feel your pain! I had to do a ton of research on this. The toilets that have the rear outlet have that outlet at different heights. And adjusting the height is very hard. So I recommend that you download the specs from the American Standard site and make sure that the height of the outlet is very close to the height of the outgoing pipe in your wall. Good luck!

It is slightly more than 24" deep, and close to 29" high. Most important, it is designed for a 10" rough-in, meaning the center of the sewer pipe is 10" from the wall. 12" is standard in the USA, so you want this toilet only if your sewer pipe location is closer to the wall than normal. Without taking up your existing toilet, you can measure to the wall from the bolts that hold the toilet to the floor. There should be one on each side, measure both and they should be the same.One answer here says the seat height is only 10". That must be for a special kid-size toilet - this one is normal height, not the taller "handicap" height. It is slightly more than 24" deep, and close to 29" high.

It depends on the kind of toilet you have. The one in our master bedroom was raised just a tiny bit but I guess that's just normal. It does not affect the seating nor does it look raised. The one in the guest bathroom (old toilet - we are in an old apartment); the toilet is one of those small round ones, the seat raised in such a way that it scared us to sit on it. But we got those round rubber spacers (from the hardware). Fits perfectly now and bidet works perfectly.

Post a picture of your toilet. We are in a rental and the toilets are so low. I have a bad back. This seat was a lifesaver for us and so great the toilet seat sits on top and you can close the lid.

Without even checking there are two watchouts... the flush buttons are on the top (I personally would be frustrated every time I would have to negotiate my fingers to flush the toilet in such a tight gap and #2 you really should have easy access to the toilet basin in case you need to access a leak or malfunctioning flush mechanism...and if you are positioning this under a shelf, unless it is resting on pins, will impede your ability to lift the lid on that tank. It is a great toilet and does exactly what it says about the power of the flush and the cost savings. I am looking to replace my other two toilets with the very same unit based on its quality.

Hello V. L. Maples,If you would like find more information about this toilet, you could follow up this link below:http://assets.totousa.com/product-files/0GU9100_NEOREST_500_EN_OM.pdf

well you're definitely taller than it is! Cant tell you exactly, but it is very close, within an inch or so of a standard toilet. Plenty comfortable for everyone.

I think it's to stabilize the frame. You step on it as you are sitting down and standing up, and that keeps the frame in a steady position. I do think it's about the best safety frame you can find for the toilet.

I don't believe the style of toilet is an issue. As long as you can get access to the water hose, you should be fine. (I had a plumber install mine because I did not know how.) I haven't had any problems with mine, beyond the fact that the water temperature takes some getting used to.

If one is large enough to require "Big John" for comfortable toiletting, then the opening is necessary, especially for females. And why not have the opening? It in no way affects the overall strength of the seat.Robert

I don't know the answer to this question. It is probably out there if one cares to investigate. All I can say is this is the best toilet we have ever purchased and would buy it again.
