Funnel. The bowl of such a toilet bowl is a funnel with approximately the same tilt angle on all sides and a siphon hole in the middle. The advantages of this design are a minimum of unpleasant odors, economy and the fact that the use of the brush is extremely rare: solid waste is almost immediately hidden under the water in the openings of the siphon, not hanging outside and does not require significant water flushing. The main disadvantage of the funnel is spray; however, many manufacturers use design solutions to minimize this inconvenience.

Visor. This construction is similar to the funnel (see above), but the slope of the bowl walls is uneven - the back wall may have a greater slope than the front, or vice versa. The main advantage of visor toilets is the absence of spray in combination with economy and minimum unpleasant odors. At the same time, solid waste can be trapped on the bowl wall, which will require slightly more water consumption and more frequent use of the brush than the funnels.

Dish. The bowl of this type is equipped with a shelf, usually located behind the opening of the siphon. This ensures that there is no splash; moreover, unlike all other types, the waste does not fall into the siphon until it is washed off, but is on the shelf - this makes it possible to determine their condition, which is important for medical pu
...rposes. At the same time, dish bowls are characterized by strong odors, and solid waste can stay there, which requires frequent use of brush and increases water consumption. In addition, a certain amount of water is constantly on the shelf, which may lead to the appearance of aesthetic divorces. As a result, this design is considered outdated and rare.The country of origin of the brand under which the toilet is marketed. Nowadays, on sale you can mainly find products from such countries (in alphabetical order):
Belgium,
Germany,
India,
Spain,
Italy,
Poland,
Turkey,
France,

Switzerland,
Sweden,
Japan.
There are many stereotypes related to how the origin of goods from a particular country affects their quality. However, in general, these stereotypes are unfounded. Firstly, this paragraph does not indicate the actual place of manufacture of the toilet bowl, but the "homeland" of the trademark (or the location of the manufacturer's headquarters); production facilities may be located in another country. Secondly, the actual quality of the product depends not so much on geography, but on the organization of processes within a particular company. So when choosing, it is best to focus not so much on the "nationality" of the toilet, but on the overall reputation of a particular brand. And paying attention to the country of origin makes sense if you fundamentally want (or do not wa
...nt) to support a manufacturer from a certain state.
