"It turned out to be the best toilet in the house. It has the prerequisite #1 and #2."

Sounds like a "Glacier Bay" brand. They are great for the price. Left button with one water drop symbol is #1, right with two drops #2. Supposed to use less water for just #1 flushes.

Toilets: Good, Bad, and Exploding โ€” Americans are obsessed with bathrooms, and my house has four. To be fair, it has (conservatively) 10 bedrooms, so it's not really excessive.
