I worked as asset manager for large office buildings and malls for 35 years and our maintenance folks always used Sloan because most architects were partial to them. Flushmate can be retrofit in some models of toilets (not my thing these days) or you can buy it inside select models of different brands. Reading the tease video from Consumer Reports it seems that their solid waste tests were failed by some of the highly marketed new toilet lines. I'm going to go ahead and pay them for access. This is going to be an expensive acquisition including labor so might as well get some independent data.
