The TOTO RP wall-hung model is the top pick in this under $1600 roundup: it is the only wall-hung toilet in the pool, and its dual-flush system is listed at 1.2 to 1.4 gallons per flush.

Quick picks
The best fit for you
- For a bathroom without a conventional drain: A macerating upflush toilet can pump waste to an existing line when the floor drain is not below the fixture. The Saniflo Sanibest Pro Upflush Kit includes an elongated bowl and pump in one listing. See pick 6
- For a wall-hung layout: A wall-hung toilet mounts to an in-wall carrier and leaves the floor below the bowl clear. The TOTO RP is the only wall-hung option in this pool and includes the DuoFit in-wall tank system. See pick 1
- For accessible chair height: A chair-height bowl is often easier to sit down on and stand up from. The Kohler K-3578 is the only pick with a stated chair-height bowl. See pick 2
- For a compact round bowl: A round bowl takes less front-to-back space than an elongated one. The Saniflo round-bowl bundle is the only round-bowl listing in the pool. See pick 5

6 Best macerating upflush kit

- Elongated bowl is included
- One of two listings in the pool with a stated pump

SANIFLO 013-087-005 Two Piece Elongated Bowl Toilet With Grinder Pump
- Pieces
- Two-piece
- Bowl shape
- Elongated

- Yes
The SANIFLO 013-087-005 is the other listing with a stated grinder pump, and it is the only two-piece toilet in the pool. It combines a two-piece elongated bowl with a grinder pump, which makes it an alternative to the upflush kit.

Bundle-12 Elongated Toilet with Saniplus
- Bowl shape
- Elongated
$1,542.55 (as of 10/15/2026 22:47 PDT - Details)
The Bundle-12 listing describes a five-piece set with an elongated toilet and Saniplus components, making it the only five-piece bundle in the pool. The five pieces are not itemized in the specs, so its advantage is breadth of bundle rather than confirmed pump details.

- Only five-piece bundle in the pool
Cons
- The five pieces are not itemized in the specs
- Flush volume not stated by the seller

How the picks were chosen
To build this list, we pulled every toilet in the catalog that matched the under $1600 filter: eight listings in total. The field includes SANIFLO bowl-and-tank and pump bundles, two Kohler Barrington toilets, and one TOTO wall-hung dual-flush model. We shortlisted all eight because the pool was small, then sorted them by what the seller actually states: elongated or round bowl, chair height, dual flush, wall-hung mounting, and grinder-pump type. Products with a missing spec are noted as not stated by the seller. The page shows a live price and timestamp from each listing, and those prices can change, so we do not rank by price or quote dollar figures. No unit was tested, handled, or inspected by the site; every pick is based on the listing and the maker's published specifications.
Picking the right one for you
Bowl shape: elongated or round
Bowl shape affects the footprint of the toilet and the length of the seat area. In this pool, five of the eight listings state an elongated bowl, one states a round bowl, one is described as a D-shape, and one does not state a bowl shape. The elongated SANIFLO bundles, the Kohler K-3652, and the two pump-equipped SANIFLO models are the elongated picks. The Saniflo round bundle is the compact choice when front-to-back space is tight. If a listing does not say 'elongated' or 'round', treat that spec as not stated by the seller.
Flush systems and water use
EPA's WaterSense program notes that toilets using 1.28 gallons per flush or less use 20 percent less water than the 1.6 gallons per flush federal standard, and that dual-flush models include a reduced flush mode for liquid waste. In this pool, the TOTO RP is the only listing with a stated dual-flush system and a flush range of 1.2 to 1.4 gallons per flush. The other picks do not state a flush volume, so we leave that specification as not stated by the seller.
Wall-hung versus floor-mounted
A wall-hung toilet mounts to an in-wall carrier, which leaves the floor below the bowl clear. The TOTO RP is the only wall-hung pick in this pool, and its listing includes the DuoFit in-wall tank system. None of the other listings state wall-hung mounting, so confirm the mounting method and rough-in details with the manufacturer before planning an installation.
Macerating and grinder-pump toilets
Macerating and grinder-pump toilets are useful when a standard gravity drain is not available below the floor. Two of the eight picks in this pool state this capability: the Saniflo Sanibest Pro Upflush Toilet Kit and the SANIFLO two-piece with grinder pump. Both include a pump, but neither seller states discharge height or voltage, so confirm those with the maker before planning the install.
Chair height and accessibility
Chair-height toilets raise the seat so sitting and standing require less effort, and they are a common choice in accessible bathrooms. In this pool, the Kohler K-3578 is the only pick with a stated chair-height bowl. For commercial or public projects, the ADA Standards for Accessible Design apply to the facilities they cover; confirm the required dimensions with the standard before purchasing.
What the bundle includes
The listings in this pool combine different parts. The SANIFLO elongated and round bundles state a bowl and tank. The Saniflo upflush kit states a pump and elongated bowl. The SANIFLO two-piece states a two-piece toilet and grinder pump. The Bundle-12 lists a five-piece Saniplus set, and the TOTO listing includes the bowl and DuoFit in-wall tank system. Inventory the included pieces against what your installation needs, because the sellers do not always itemize every part.
Questions
How much water does an efficient toilet use?
EPA's WaterSense program covers toilets that use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, which is 20 percent less than the 1.6 gallons per flush federal standard. Dual-flush toilets add a reduced flush mode for liquid waste. In this pool, the TOTO RP is the only listing with a stated dual-flush system and a flush range of 1.2 to 1.4 gallons per flush.
What is a macerating toilet?
A macerating toilet includes a pump that grinds waste and moves it through a smaller pipe to an existing drain. It is useful in basements or additions where a standard gravity drain is unavailable. Two listings in this pool state this capability: the Saniflo Sanibest Pro Upflush Toilet Kit and the SANIFLO two-piece with grinder pump.
Is a wall-hung toilet right for me?
A wall-hung toilet mounts to an in-wall carrier and leaves the floor clear. It requires wall space for the carrier and tank, so it is easiest to plan during new construction or a major remodel. The TOTO RP in this pool includes a DuoFit in-wall tank system, but confirm the carrier matches your wall construction before buying.
What if a spec is missing from the listing?
If a listing does not state a flush volume, bowl shape, chair height, or pump detail, this guide marks it as 'not stated by the seller.' Do not assume the missing specification. Contact the maker with the model number or check the manufacturer's spec page before you buy.
Which bowl shape should I choose?
An elongated bowl provides a longer seat surface, while a round bowl takes less front-to-back space. In this eight-toilet pool, five listings are elongated, one is round, and two do not state an elongated or round shape. Measure the bathroom before choosing, and if a listing does not state a bowl shape, confirm it with the seller or manufacturer.
