I'm doing a gut remodel of my space to make it more accessible and open. I'm considering installing a wall-mounted toilet and would love to hear your thoughts on any advantages or drawbacks. One concern I have is whether these toilets operate without electricity, since I live in an area prone to power outages. Also, is this a job for specialized plumbers, or can any skilled plumber handle it? Lastly, are there specific brands you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Toto is definitely the leader in the wall-hung toilet category! Check out a video review I found, it gives a lot of great insights into different options. I’d love to add one, but my renovation plans keep getting pushed back.
I just put in a Toto AP wall-hung toilet in my master bath. The good news is that they’re not electric, so they’ll work fine during power outages. Some pros include a modern look, saving space in smaller bathrooms, and easier cleaning under the bowl — plus, there's less chance of leaks damaging your subfloor. However, keep in mind that repairs can be tricky since everything is hidden behind drywall and tile. But overall, they can last a long time!
That's cool! Do they make a lot of noise? I’m wondering if you can hear the flush if your bedroom is next to the bathroom.
If you're leaning toward a wall-mounted toilet, consider investing in a powered heated bidet. Toto offers fantastic options, and features like auto-flush or auto open/close really enhance the experience. They really set the standard for this type of toilet!
We went that route in our last house, and we loved it so much we installed three in our new place!
Geberit has been around since the early 90s for this type of installation in Germany — they've got a strong reputation too!
