Best Toilet From Home Depot for a Small Bathroom

The best toilet from Home Depot for a small bathroom is the DeerValley Compact One Piece, a 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in fixture with a 1.1/1.6 GPF dual flush that clears waste without eating floor space. If you want a taller chair-height seat instead, the HOROW T0338W steps up to a 17.3 in seat height. Pick wrong and you pay for it twice: a bowl that is too deep leaves your door catching, or too short leaves tall users hunched. Footprint decides this, not flush strength.

How I ranked these fixtures

I compared the published specifications side by side rather than reaching for brand reputation. Three criteria carried the most weight, in this order.

1. Footprint. For a small bathroom, the length and width off the wall decide whether the room still works. I ranked compact one-piece bodies ahead of full elongated two-piece units.
2. Seat height. A standard bowl and a 17.3 in chair-height bowl feel different to sit on, so I flagged which is which.
3. Setup effort. A unit that ships with a wax ring, bolts and a wrench asks less of you than one that leaves you sourcing parts.

Price position and how fast each one sells here broke ties, but neither outranked fit. I also kept two portable seats and one replacement seat in the set, because the search term pulls them in and a buyer deserves to know they are not plumbed fixtures.

Here is the honest part. This is a small field, and it leans toward one brand. I named that where it matters rather than pretending the set is wider than it is.

Best toilet from Home Depot at a glance

About the Home Depot search term

You searched for a toilet from a specific store, and the results do not all match that intent. Read this before you buy. The store name did not filter these listings, so the qualifier is not something I can promise on any single pick.

Two things follow from that:

• The store name is not verified here. I cannot confirm from the data which of these ships from any one retailer. Judge that yourself on the live page.
• The set mixes fixtures with accessories. Two picks are bucket seats. One is a replacement seat, not a whole unit. The rest are full toilets.

So treat this as a comparison of what the term actually returns, not a store-specific shortlist. If you need a stocked-in-store guarantee, check availability on each product page before you commit.

One-piece or two-piece: which fits your bathroom?

This is the real fork in the road for a small bathroom, and the obvious specification misleads. Buyers fixate on flush strength. Footprint decides comfort day to day.

A one-piece toilet fuses tank and bowl into a single body. The DeerValley units here measure 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in and weigh 78 lb and 86 lb. Fewer seams mean fewer crevices, which the maker frames as easier cleaning.

A two-piece toilet bolts a separate tank onto the bowl. The Gerber Viper Force runs 31.8 x 29.5 x 16.5 in at 78.2 lb, so it needs more depth off the wall.

• Pick one-piece if your floor space is genuinely tight.
• Pick two-piece if depth is not the constraint and you prefer the elongated bowl.
• Measure the rough-in first. Both DeerValley units and the HOROW state a 12 in rough-in.

The best toilet from Home Depot for you starts with a tape measure, not a brand.

1. DeerValley Compact One Piece Toilet Standard Seat Height — Best overall

The DeerValley Compact One Piece is the best toilet from Home Depot here because its 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in body clears a small bathroom while a 1.1/1.6 GPF dual flush does the work.

Best for: a cramped bathroom that needs a full replacement Skip it if: you want a taller chair-height seat

What sets this apart in the set is the balance. It is a full one-piece fixture at 78 lb, the lightest of the two DeerValley bodies, and it lists a proper installation kit. DeerValley says the box includes the toilet body, a pre-assembled valve, wax ring, bolts, a wrench and a manual, which is more than the Gerber's tool-free seat claim covers on its own.

The skirted design hides the trapway, and DeerValley says that removes hard-to-reach crevices for cleaning. The dual flush offers a 1.1 GPF light and 1.6 GPF full, and the brand claims a 28dB soft-close seat. It also carries a stated 1-year warranty, which the other DeerValley here does not list.

It sits mid-pack on price and sells faster than most of the plumbed units in this set. The trade-off is height. This is a standard-height bowl, so taller users who want the 17.3 in chair height should look at the HOROW instead.

Pros:

• Compact 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in footprint for tight rooms
• Dual 1.1/1.6 GPF flush per the listing
• Installation kit with wax ring, bolts and wrench included
• Stated 1-year warranty
• Skirted body for easier cleaning claim

Cons:

• Standard seat height, not chair height
• 78 lb makes solo installation awkward
• Only one seller lists it
• Warranty is a single year

2. HOROW T0338W One Piece Toilet with ADA Chair Height — Best warranty

The HOROW T0338W wins on seat comfort with a 17.3 in ADA chair height, the tallest seat among the full toilets here.

Best for: taller users who want a 17.3 in seat height Skip it if: your floor space is very tight

The seat height is the story. At 17.3 in from floor to seat, HOROW pitches this as a chair-height experience, which matters if standing from a low bowl is hard on your knees. That alone separates it from the standard-height DeerValley overall pick.

It measures 26 x 26.6 x 15 in and weighs 99.2 lb, the heaviest fixture in this set. HOROW claims a siphon flush with a fully glazed 2 in trapway and dual flush options. The listing also mentions both 10-inch and 12-inch rough-in versions, so confirm which one you are ordering against your existing waste line. A soft-close PP seat is included, screw-fixed to stay put.

It carries a stated 1 Year warranty and sits at a premium position among the toilets here. The catch is bulk. At 99.2 lb and 26.6 in deep, it asks for more room and a second pair of hands than the compact DeerValley bodies.

Pros:

• 17.3 in ADA chair-height seat
• Fully glazed 2 in trapway per HOROW
• Both 10 in and 12 in rough-in versions offered
• Soft-close seat included
• Stated 1 Year warranty

Cons:

• Heaviest unit here at 99.2 lb
• 26.6 in depth eats more floor space
• Full flush figure is cut off in the listing
• Only one seller lists it

3. DeerValley Compact One Piece Toilet with Comfortable Seat — Most versatile

This second DeerValley one-piece matches the overall pick's 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in footprint while leaning toward a more comfortable seat height.

Best for: a second bathroom needing a clean, skirted look Skip it if: you need a published warranty

The pitch here is a comfort-height take on the same compact body. It shares the 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in dimensions with the Best overall DeerValley, so it slots into the same tight rooms, but it weighs a touch more at 86 lb. That extra mass is the main physical difference between the two.

DeerValley lists the same feature story: a 1.1/1.6 GPF dual flush, a fully skirted body for cleaning, and a 28dB soft-close seat. The installation kit is described the same way too, with the body, valve, wax ring, bolts, wrench and manual.

It sits mid-pack on price, one step below the overall pick, and it is the slowest-selling of the DeerValley pair here. The real trade-off is documentation. Unlike the Best overall unit, this listing does not state a warranty, so if a written guarantee matters to you, the sibling model is the safer buy. Choose this one when you want the skirted compact look for a guest bath and the warranty gap does not bother you.

Pros:

• Compact 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in footprint
• Dual 1.1/1.6 GPF flush per the listing
• Skirted body for easier cleaning claim
• Full installation kit described
• Second-cheapest full toilet here

Cons:

• No stated warranty
• 86 lb, heaviest of the DeerValley pair
• Slowest-selling toilet in this set
• Only one seller lists it

4. Gerber Viper Force Elongated Two-Piece Toilet — Best premium

The Gerber Viper Force is the elongated two-piece choice, trading a larger 31.8 x 29.5 x 16.5 in footprint for a full-size bowl and a tool-free seat.

Best for: a full-size bathroom wanting an elongated bowl Skip it if: your room is short on floor depth

This is the only two-piece toilet in the set, and the only elongated full fixture. Gerber lists a single 1.28 GPF high-efficiency flush rather than a dual system, paired with a Fluidmaster 400A fill valve and a 3 in flush valve, which the brand says deliver quiet refills and a strong clear.

The ReadySet soft-close seat is the standout convenience claim. Gerber says it installs in seconds with no tools and lifts fully off for cleaning. The glazed trapway is pitched as clog-resistant for everyday use.

At 31.8 x 29.5 x 16.5 in and 78.2 lb, it is the largest footprint here, so it suits a full-size bathroom rather than a squeezed one. It sits at the top of the price positions in this set and is the slowest seller of the group. The trade-off is plain. You get the elongated comfort and the tool-free seat, but you give up floor depth and the water savings of a dual-flush light setting.

Pros:

• Only elongated two-piece in the set
• 1.28 GPF high-efficiency flush claim
• Tool-free ReadySet soft-close seat
• Fluidmaster 400A fill valve named
• Glazed trapway for clog resistance claim

Cons:

• Largest footprint at 31.8 x 29.5 x 16.5 in
• No dual-flush light option
• Highest price position and slowest seller here
• No stated warranty in the listing

5. KOHLER 4636-RL-0 Cachet ReadyLatch Elongated Toilet Seat — Best minimal setup

The KOHLER Cachet is a 5 lb elongated replacement seat, not a toilet, and it is the fastest way to refresh a bowl you already like.

Best for: keeping your bowl and swapping the seat only Skip it if: your bowl is round, not elongated

Read the category before you buy. This is a seat, listed under Toilet Seats, and it exists in this roundup because the search term catches it. If your bowl is sound and you only want a quieter, cleaner seat, it is the smallest job on this page.

Kohler describes Grip-Tight installation hardware that fastens entirely from above the bowl, so you are not reaching underneath. The ReadyLatch hinge locks the seat in place yet releases so you can lift it off to clean. It is a soft-close, contoured elongated seat at 5 lb, measuring 2.19 x 18 x 14.2 in.

It carries a KOHLER Toilets and Seats Limited Warranty, the only named brand warranty program in the set, and it sells faster than anything else here. The obvious trade-off is that it does nothing for a worn bowl or a weak flush. Note too that Kohler states seats are not returnable once opened, so confirm your bowl is elongated first.

Pros:

• Only 5 lb and installs from above the bowl
• ReadyLatch hinge releases for cleaning
• Soft-close contoured elongated seat
• KOHLER limited warranty program
• Fastest seller in this set

Cons:

• A seat only, not a toilet
• Fits elongated bowls, not round
• Not returnable once opened per Kohler
• No price position listed here

6. 72 HRS Premium Portable Camping Toilet Seat with Lid — Best upgrade

The 72 HRS seat turns a 5 gallon bucket into an emergency or camp toilet at just 0.7 lb, the lightest item here.

Best for: camping and emergency use on a 5 gallon bucket Skip it if: you need a plumbed fixture

This is not a bathroom fixture, and I want that clear up front. It is a snap-on lid and seat for a standard bucket, listed under hygiene and sanitation. For a power outage, a campsite or a boat, that is exactly the point.

72 HRS makes it from polypropylene and calls it crack and pinch resistant. At 0.7 lb and 12.6 x 13.31 in, it packs flat and weighs almost nothing in a pack. The brand also flags the material as recyclable at end of life.

It is the second-cheapest pick here and sells fast for its category, well ahead of the plumbed toilets on that measure. The trade-off is obvious against the budget campersville seat: you need to supply your own bucket and bags, and there is no tank, no flush and no plumbing. Buy it as a backup, not a bathroom.

Pros:

• Very light at 0.7 lb
• Fits standard 5 gallon buckets
• Polypropylene, crack-resistant per maker
• Packs flat for storage
• Second-cheapest pick here

Cons:

• Not a plumbed toilet
• Bucket and bags sold separately
• Count field lists 0, so confirm quantity
• Only one seller lists it

7. campersville Portable Emergency Toilet Seat — Best budget pick

The campersville seat is the cheapest way to keep an emergency toilet on hand, a 0.9 lb snap-on lid for a 5 gallon bucket.

Best for: the cheapest emergency backup seat you can stash Skip it if: you want a real bathroom fixture

Like the 72 HRS lid, this is a bucket seat rather than a toilet, and it is the cheapest pick in the whole set. If your only goal is a backup for outages, road trips or hunting, it does that for the least outlay.

campersville makes it from high-density polypropylene and lists it at 13.5 x 13 in with a 1.5 in height, which it says fits most 5 to 6 gallon buckets. At 0.9 lb it is easy to toss in a vehicle. The maker frames it as an emergency toilet at home or an outdoor seat.

It sells steadily for its category. Against the 72 HRS lid, the trade-off is small: this one is marginally heavier at 0.9 lb versus 0.7 lb, and the listing gives less detail on lid design. Either works as a bucket seat. Choose this when the lowest price wins and you already own a bucket.

Pros:

• Cheapest pick in the set
• Fits most 5 to 6 gallon buckets
• High-density polypropylene per maker
• Light at 0.9 lb
• Doubles as home emergency or outdoor seat

Cons:

• Not a plumbed toilet
• Slightly heavier than the 72 HRS lid
• No lid detail beyond the seat
• Only one seller lists it

Do you need a whole toilet or just a seat?

Half this set is not a full toilet, so answer this before you spend. Match the fix to the problem.

• The bowl is cracked, wobbly or clogging often. You need a full fixture: the DeerValley overall pick, the DeerValley comfort model, the HOROW or the Gerber.
• The bowl is fine but the seat is stained, loose or slams. You need a replacement seat: the KOHLER Cachet at 5 lb, which installs from above.
• You have no working toilet and need a backup. You need a bucket seat: the 72 HRS at 0.7 lb or the campersville at 0.9 lb, plus your own bucket and bags.

One more check. The KOHLER seat fits elongated bowls only, so measure your bowl shape first. A round bowl needs a round seat, and this one is not it.

What the listings do not tell you

A few gaps in the data are worth naming so you are not surprised on install day.

1. Rough-in must match your waste line. Both DeerValley toilets and the HOROW state a 12 in rough-in, and HOROW mentions a 10 in version too. Measure from the wall to the drain center before ordering.
2. Weight means a two-person lift. The HOROW is 99.2 lb and the DeerValley bodies are 78 lb and 86 lb. Plan help.
3. Warranty coverage is thin. Only the DeerValley overall pick, the HOROW and the KOHLER seat list any warranty, and two of those are a single year.
4. Every pick has one seller listed. That is worth noting, not alarming, but confirm the current page before you buy.

None of these are dealbreakers. They are the questions the specs answer only halfway, so verify them on the live listing.

The verdict

Match the pick to your budget tier and your bathroom, and the choice is clear.

At the entry tier, the campersville bucket seat is the cheapest way to keep an emergency toilet ready, with the 72 HRS lid a hair lighter at 0.7 lb if pack weight rules. Neither is a plumbed fixture, so buy them only as backups.

In the middle tier, the best toilet from Home Depot for most small bathrooms is the DeerValley Compact One Piece. Its 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in footprint fits tight rooms, its 1.1/1.6 GPF dual flush saves water, and it is the only DeerValley here that lists a warranty. The KOHLER Cachet sits alongside it for anyone who only needs a seat swap.

At the premium tier, two picks split by need. The HOROW T0338W earns the nod for taller users with its 17.3 in chair-height seat, though at 99.2 lb it is a heavy install. The Gerber Viper Force is the elongated two-piece for a full-size bathroom, trading floor depth for a roomier bowl. The cutoff is space: under tight depth, go DeerValley; with room to spare and a taller seat wanted, go HOROW.

FAQ

Is the best toilet from Home Depot worth buying over a two-piece?

The best toilet from Home Depot in this set, the DeerValley one-piece, is worth it when floor space is tight. Its 27.8 x 24.6 x 13 in body is shorter off the wall than the Gerber two-piece at 29.5 in deep. A one-piece also has fewer seams to clean. Choose the two-piece only when you have the depth and want an elongated bowl.

Is a bucket toilet seat worth it for emergencies?

A bucket toilet seat is worth it as a cheap, light backup, not as a daily fixture. The 72 HRS lid weighs 0.7 lb and the campersville is 0.9 lb, and both snap onto a 5 gallon bucket. You supply the bucket and bags. For outages, camping or a boat, that is enough. For a bathroom, you need a plumbed toilet instead.

What seat height should I choose for comfort?

The seat height you choose changes how easy standing up feels. A standard-height bowl like the DeerValley overall pick sits lower. The HOROW T0338W lists a 17.3 in ADA chair height, which is easier on knees and hips for taller or older users. If comfort standing matters most, the taller seat wins; if not, the compact standard bowl saves space.

DeerValley or HOROW for a small bathroom?

DeerValley or HOROW comes down to footprint versus seat height. The DeerValley is 24.6 in wide and 13 in deep with a standard seat, so it fits tighter rooms. The HOROW is 26.6 in deep and 99.2 lb but offers the 17.3 in chair height. Pick DeerValley for the smallest footprint, HOROW when a taller seat outweighs the extra bulk.

What mistake do first-time toilet buyers make?

The mistake first-time toilet buyers make is ignoring the rough-in measurement. That is the distance from the finished wall to the drain center. The DeerValley and HOROW toilets here state a 12 in rough-in, and HOROW offers a 10 in version. Order the wrong one and the toilet will not sit flush to the wall. Measure before you buy.

Start with a tape measure and your drain center, then match the rough-in and footprint to the DeerValley Compact One Piece if space is tight. It is the pick that solves the actual small-bathroom problem: a full fixture that fits, flushes on 1.1 or 1.6 gallons, and ships with the wax ring and bolts you need to install it. If your bowl is fine and only the seat is tired, the KOHLER Cachet is the smaller, cheaper fix. Confirm the details on the live page, then buy the one that matches your room, not the biggest bowl on the shelf.
