Cadet 3 Flushing System
In the most recent independent MaP (Maximum Performance) tests, the Cadet 3 flushing system received the highest possible rating, handling 1,000 grams of solid waste in a single flush. This means you can count on your Cadet 3 toilet for dependable one-flush performance.

Cadet 3's smart gravity design delivers higher performance with fewer clogs. Engineered for a stronger, more reliable flush, the Cadet 3 flushing system means you don't have to flush twice.

2-1/8-Inch Siphon Trapway
With a larger diameter than the industry standard, Cadet 3 toilets have a fully glazed siphon trapway. This trapway features no choke points and a two-inch ball pass to help prevent clogging, which means it can move a 60 percent larger mass than a standard two-inch trapway.

EverClean Surface
Treated inside and out, Cadet 3 tanks and bowls feature a permanent EverClean surface. This system incorporates a patented silver-ion additive right into the material to protect it from mold, mildew, algae, and fungus that could cause deterioration or staining. You'll love how the mirror-like EverClean surface is easy to keep clean and stays cleaner longer, even after years of use.

Five-Year Worry-Free Warranty
The Cadet 3 toilet is backed by a five-year warranty that covers everything inside and out.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok but NOT good or great. Spend a bit more and get a Toto Drake., September 25, 2011

This review is from: American Standard 2829.128.020 Cadet-3 FloWise Round Front Two-Piece High Efficiency Toilet, White (Tools & Home Improvement)

Two years ago I had to replace a toilet upstairs in one of my rental units. At the time, it seemed like a good idea to try out the American Standard Cadet 3, based on the info at one of the big box stores. I didn't do my usual thorough research for that one but it just didn't seem overly necessary since that toilet is a mere 3 feet from the main vertical sewer stack that emtpies directly down into the horizontal main 2 floors below. This vertical pipe is also fully vented to the roof just above that unit. Pretty much ideal circumstances for any toilet to perform perfectly.

And given these ideal circumstances, the Cadet 3 is adequate and it does it's job. But I would not describe it as overly powerful or particularly fast - at least not compared to a Toto Toilet. We finished a bathroom remodel a month ago and installed a Toto Drake there. It costs only perhaps $30 more than the Cadet 3 via online sources.

Ok! So now I ccould compare the performance of:
- A Toto Drake with a HUGE horizontal run and vented merely by an air admittance valve to
- A Cadet 3 with a TINY horizontal run and MASSIVE venting

There is just no comparison. The flush of the Toto Drake is VASTLY more forceful and quick. And the Toto uses less water while doing it . Last night I examined part of the horizontal main where I added a cleanout valve near the Drake. And it's all nice and clean. All the "water slugs" actually made it all the way from the Drake down some 25' of piping that doesn't even include the final 15-20' ... all the way to the sewer main. Sweet!

Spend just a bit more money and you will have a much better toilet. You can also have many choices in your choice of finish. We went with Colonial White (soft muted white) instead of a standard Cotton White (bright white). Same price ...

This review is from: American Standard 2829.128.021 Cadet-3 FloWise Round Front Two-Piece Toilet with High Efficiency, Bone (Tools & Home Improvement)

The toilet (model 2829.128.021) arrived by UPS in two boxes: the bowl (model 3011.001) and the tank (model 4021.128). I inspected the boxes and even opened the shipping boxes to inspect the factory boxes before I signed for delivery. Everything appeared together. Unfortunately, days later when I removed the old toilet and was in the process of placing the new tank on the new bowl, I noticed a hinge on the plastic flapper had broken. The tank was packaged well enough for shipment to me, that I believe it had broken either at the factory or in transit from the factory. I called American Standard and the service rep told me the flapper, a Fluidmaster model 540, was a new part and they were out of stock and wouldn't be able to ship a new flapper to me in less than three weeks. Quite unacceptable, but a return to Amazon was not ideal at this point in the installation. So, I put in a request for a warranty replacement part. The local HomeDepot did not carry the Fluidmaster 540 or third-party equivalent either because it is a new model flapper. Luckily the piece which had broken off was still in the box, so I bought some Loctite marine epoxy for $6 and glued it back together. It's holding for now until the replacement arrives. Other than that, the toilet has a powerful flush and works great.
I also have the "Right Height" version of this toilet (model 3377.128.021). You may read about the other flapper issues I've had with that toilet in my comments to the 3-star review by 'K. Stuckey "kateling"'. It has the same tank (model 4021), but uses a different flapper and valve assembly.

This review is from: American Standard 2829.128.178 Cadet-3 FloWise Round Front Two-Piece Toilet with High Efficiency, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

So far so good with this toilet. I never thought I would be buying a toilet online, but black toilets aren't something you find in every store these days. The toilet works great. I would never have thought a toilet could work with so little water. The tank is small to begin with, but then it only fills about a third of the way up. When flushed, it flushes perfectly and very quick. It almost seems like there is a vacuum on the other end. I would recommend this brand/style of toilet to anyone. I received it quickly. Had a small issue with the price of shipping that was resolved immediately.
