Quick verdict
Before looking at prices, measure the distance from the wall to the centre of the waste outlet: that decides whether you need a short or long pan, and it's what causes most returns. Within that, the Piazza Garda long with cistern is the most balanced buy; the short Pringles Onix is the cheapest; and the Ferrum Andina if you want the reference brand with spares in any hardware shop.
What to look for before buying
- Short or long: the outlet measurement — It's the first thing and the only one you can't improvise. The distance between the finished wall and the centre of the waste outlet decides which pan fits: short is around 40 cm and long around 60 cm. Buy the wrong one and there's no way to install it without breaking up the floor. Measure it before looking at a single price.
- Cistern: close-coupled, wall-mounted or concealed — A close-coupled cistern sits directly on the pan and is the most common and simplest to install. A wall-mounted one sits higher and gives more flush force. A concealed push-plate looks better but requires building work. For a direct replacement without breaking anything, close-coupled is the practical option.
- Dual flush — Dual-flush buttons let you use around 3 litres or around 6 as needed, instead of a full flush every time. In a four-person household the difference in the water bill and in consumption is concrete across a year. Practically every new model includes it today and it doesn't add to the price.
- Seat: included and soft-close — Check whether the seat is included, because bought separately it costs a meaningful share of the total. And soft-close — the hinge that lowers the lid slowly instead of slamming — is one of those small improvements you appreciate daily, especially at night and with children in the house.
- Brand and spare parts — On a toilet, the first thing to fail isn't the ceramic but the cistern's internal fittings: the valve, the float, the button. With an established brand those spares are available in any hardware shop for very little. With an unknown brand you can end up replacing the whole toilet because no replacement valve exists.

Buying a toilet has a preliminary step you can’t skip and that explains most returns: measuring the waste outlet distance. If that measurement doesn’t match, no installation is possible without breaking up the floor.
First: short or long
Measure with a tape from the finished wall to the centre of the waste outlet hole in the floor:
- ~40 cm → short pan
- ~60 cm → long pan
It’s the only measurement that decides. Take it twice before looking at a single price.
What to look at next
- Close-coupled cistern: sits on the pan, installs without building work. The practical choice for a direct replacement.
- Dual flush: ~3 or ~6 litres as needed. It shows on the water bill.
- Seat included, ideally soft-close.
- A brand with spares: the first thing to fail isn’t the ceramic, it’s the cistern fittings.
Our pick
For most people the Piazza Garda long is the most complete buy: cistern and seat included, no separate-accessory surprises. If your outlet is short and budget rules, the Pringles Onix. And if you want the reference brand, Ferrum Andina: its real advantage isn’t the ceramic, it’s that you can get a replacement valve in any hardware shop in the country.
The detail almost nobody checks
On a toilet the ceramic lasts decades; what fails within a few years is the cistern’s internal fittings: the valve, the float, the button. With an established brand that’s replaced for very little in any hardware shop. With an unknown brand you can end up replacing the whole toilet because a cheap spare doesn’t exist.

Frequently asked
How do I know whether I need a short or long pan?
Measure with a tape from the finished rear wall to the centre of the waste outlet hole in the floor. If that distance is around 40 centimetres, you need a short pan. If it's around 60, a long one. It's the only measurement that matters and it decides everything: buying the wrong one means the toilet doesn't sit over the outlet, and the only fix is breaking up the floor and moving the plumbing. Measure twice before buying, and if the bathroom already has a toilet, measure against the existing one.
Close-coupled or wall-mounted cistern?
A close-coupled cistern sits directly on the back of the pan and is today's standard: easy to install, no building work and a huge range of models. A wall-mounted cistern is fixed higher up, and that extra height gives more flush pressure, which can help in older installations with awkward drainage. In exchange, installation is more work and the look is more old-fashioned. If you're replacing a toilet without touching anything else, close-coupled is the practical choice.
Is a soft-close seat worth it?
It's one of those small improvements you notice every day. The damped hinge lowers the lid on its own, slowly, instead of dropping with a bang: no noise at night, no chipping over time, and no trapped fingers for a child. Many toilets include it already; if the one you chose doesn't, you can buy the seat separately, but check the dimensions match because not all are universal.
