American Standard is one of the most trusted toilet brands in the country. It is no surprise that the company has been around for over 100 years. They make toilets that are durable, innovative, efficient, comfortable, and long-lasting. Unlike Toto toilets and Kohler toilets, the American Standard toilets are slightly cheaper but still perform at a very high level.
American Standard has brought several VORMAX models to the market:

What’s the VorMax flushing system?
Getting the toilet completely clean is one of the nastiest jobs, especially those dirty, hard-to-reach spots under the rim. In reality, conventional toilet design is a big part of the problem.
Introducing American Standard’s VorMax Flush Technology – The Cleanest Flush Ever Engineered.
VorMax is the solution to maintaining a cleaner toilet bowl by simply flushing the toilet. Its revolutionary VorMax flushing action, CleanCurve Rim design, and EverClean Surface keep the bowl so clean from top to bottom, that you’ll never have to worry about missing a spot again. VorMax Flush Technology has been independently tested and proven to clean 2 times better than conventional toilets. With a flush that cleans that well you can say goodbye to skid marks, streaks, and splatter for good.
The VorMax flush flips the ratio of water and uses 70% of the 1.28 gallons of water to rinse the bowl clean and the smaller amount (30%) to start the siphon and remove the waste. The bigger percentage of water released to the rim to rinse the bowl will offer much greater scrubbing power and a much cleaner bowl. Both toilets are consuming 1.28 gallons of water but the amount and how water is delivered to the bowl is unique with VorMax.

Elegant and stylish
American Standard Vormax is a chair-height comfortable toilet that can be used in any bathroom. The white finish blends well with most bathroom themes. It is best for larger bathrooms, and not smaller rooms, as it is large.
Two-piece toilet
When choosing a toilet, another factor to consider is its ease of installation. It can be difficult to install toilets, leading to additional costs such as hiring a professional plumber. This toilet is different because it has a separate tank and bowl. The toilet is very easy to install. It is also more durable than the conventional toilets you can buy at your local hardware store.
Vormax flushing system
The powerful Vormax flushing technology is the most impressive feature of the American Standard Vormax toilet. Many users complain about the poor flushing of most toilets. Many toilets leave ugly marks behind, which makes it necessary to clean them regularly. Vortex’s flushing system is different.
One powerful jet of water is used to scrub the bowl using vortex scouring action. Another jet of water is used to flush out the waste. Vormax flushing technology uses 1.28 GPF and is extremely efficient. This is almost the same as the American Standard Optum Vormax toilet. This flushing system is two times more efficient than traditional flushing systems. It helps you to keep the bowl clean.
CleanCurve bowl design
The vortex flushing system is not an all-in-one solution. It is compatible with the CleanCurve surface and the EverClean rim. CleanCurve’s rim prevents dirt from building up under the rim. It’s designed so that dirt and mold cannot hide. The toilet comes with a unique rim design that is easier to maintain and keeps the toilet cleaner.
EverClean surface
To keep your toile clean, the EverClean surface is combined with the CleanCurve edge and Vormax flushing system. The smooth surface prevents waste and odor-causing bacteria from adhering to the bowl. This ensures a bowl clean for longer and requires fewer chemicals.
Elongated Bowl with a longer length
Some toilets can be uncomfortable to use, while others are more comfortable. American Standard toilets have an elongated bowl design and a long handle. It is convenient for different users as it offers additional sitting space. This is however a drawback for smaller bathrooms or powder rooms. For a small bathroom, you can check out the Compact Toto list.
Comfort height
Before buying any toilet online, it is important to know its dimensions. These dimensions include the height of the toilet from the floor to the toilet bowl, toilet tank height, rough size, and many other factors.

It’s the ideal choice for any bathroom.

All requirements of the ADA compliant are met by the toilets. It is easy to use and comfortable for people with mobility issues, elderly people, and tall people. The left-hand chrome trip lever is flushable and the chair height can be adjusted.
EPA WaterSense certified
It is essential to have a water-saving toilet in today’s world. Some toilets use less than 1.28 gallons per flush, but require users to flush at least twice or three times. The American Standard Vormax toilet flushes poop in one flush and uses just 1.28 gallons per flush. It has passed the EPA WaterSense testing. The American Standard VorMax Plus toilets, which only use 1.0 gallons per flush, are more efficient.
Warranty
