Should you choose TOTO Aimes or Drake?

These two are not really competing on specification. Both flush 1.28 gallons with TORNADO FLUSH and both use CEFIONTECT glaze, so cleaning power is equivalent.

They are competing on form and budget. Aimes is a skirted one-piece with no seam between tank and bowl and no exposed trapway. Drake is a conventional two-piece with a visible trapway.

The price gap is the largest on this site. A bare Drake is $482. The cheapest Aimes is $1,607 and includes an S2 washlet — but a Drake with the same S2 washlet is $938, still $669 less.

Drake also offers configurations Aimes does not: 1.6 GPF for long drain runs, a round bowl for tight rooms, and 14 models against four.

What Aimes gives you is a toilet with far less to clean around and a more finished appearance. In a guest bathroom or a renovation where the toilet is visible, that is worth something.

If the bathroom is functional rather than showpiece, the Drake does the same job for a fraction of the money.
