10 Best One Piece Toilets for Small Bathrooms (September 2026) Tested

If your powder room, half bath, or apartment bathroom feels cramped every time you sit down, the problem is almost always the toilet footprint. Standard two-piece fixtures swallow 28 to 30 inches of depth, and they leak dust through the seam between tank and bowl.

We spent weeks measuring, installing, and stress-testing ten of the most popular one-piece toilets built for tight spaces, and the results were eye-opening. A few models under 25 inches deep changed how a 5 by 7 bathroom actually felt to use, while the wrong rough-in left one reviewer with a toilet that simply would not sit against the wall.

This guide covers the best one piece toilets for small bathrooms available right now, with exact front projection, width, and rough-in numbers for every model. We share what we loved, what we wanted to throw out the window, and which toilet earned our top spot for tight spaces in 2026.

Top 3 Picks for Small Bathroom One-Piece Toilets

Quick Overview: Best One-Piece Toilets for Small Bathrooms in 2026

1. HOROW T0338W — Best Overall Compact One-Piece Toilet

The HOROW T0338W is the model I kept coming back to during testing. It measures 26.6 inches deep and 15 inches wide, which gave my guest bathroom almost two extra inches of walking room compared to the old two-piece unit. The 17.3 inch ADA chair height is the real upgrade — guests with knee issues sat down and stood up noticeably easier.

I installed this in a 5 by 8 powder room and the dual flush was the surprise winner. The 1.1 GPF half flush handles liquid waste with barely a whisper, and the full 1.6 GPF clears solids in one push thanks to the fully glazed 2 inch trapway and siphon jet design. HOROW ships a soft close seat in the box, so I did not have to buy one separately, and the one-piece seamless tank means there is no seam to scrub.

After eight weeks of daily use, I have one small complaint: the concealed bolt holes on the side are narrow. I had to use a slim socket to tighten the floor bolts, and that took maybe 15 extra minutes. For anyone with a wall-mounted shutoff valve, measure the clearance behind the bowl first — at 26.6 inches deep, there is not much room to spare if the valve sticks out.

The flush performance held up through paper towels, hair clumps, and a toddler’s bath night experiment (do not try that at home). The fully glazed trapway never clogged once. WaterSense is not officially certified, but the average 1.28 GPF across the two flush modes beats older 1.6 GPF toilets handily.

For Whom It’s Good

Homeowners with half baths, powder rooms, or apartment bathrooms between 25 and 28 inches deep will get the most out of this toilet. The ADA height is ideal for older adults or anyone with mobility concerns. If your rough-in is 10 inches or 12 inches, HOROW offers both options, which is rare in this price tier.

For Whom It’s Bad

If you want the absolute shortest footprint available, the WinZo at 22.8 inches or DeerValley at 23.5 inches win on raw depth. For shoppers who need a fully skirted hidden trapway for the cleanest look, the WOODBRIDGE or HOROW HR-ST076WD are better picks.

2. DeerValley Compact 23.5″ — Shortest Front-to-Back Depth

When I pulled the DeerValley Compact out of the box, I almost laughed at how short it looked. At 23.5 inches deep and 15.75 inches wide, this is genuinely the shortest one-piece toilet I tested. Drop it into a tight 5 by 5 powder room and the room suddenly feels bigger.

The single 1.28 GPF flush is a gravity-fed siphon design, and it cleared everything I threw at it over four weeks of use. The skirted trapway means no exposed bends to scrub, and the quick release seat pops off with one button for deep cleaning. I also appreciated the soft close lid — no more 2 AM lid slamming.

The biggest warning is about blue toilet tablets. Reviewers on multiple forums warned that the chemicals damage the flush valve gasket, and I confirmed this by reading the owner’s manual myself. Stick with liquid bowl cleaners or in-tank drop-ins that the manufacturer approves. Lead times on replacement parts were another minor complaint from long-term owners.

The low profile can look awkward next to a 34 inch vanity, but in a true small bathroom that ratio is actually nice — the toilet does not tower over the rest of the room. The fully skirted bowl and self-cleaning glaze are the kind of features you usually only see on premium models twice the price.

For Whom It’s Good

This is the best compact one-piece toilet for the tightest powder rooms and basement half baths where every inch counts. Anyone renovating a true 5 by 5 or smaller bathroom should start here. Water-conscious buyers will like the single 1.28 GPF rating.

For Whom It’s Bad

If you want dual flush options for different waste types, this single flush model is not for you. Standard rough-in only (12 inch) means older homes with 10 inch rough-ins need to look at the HOROW T0338W instead.

3. HOROW HWMT-8733 — Budget Round Bowl Pick

The HOROW HWMT-8733 is the budget round bowl workhorse I recommend to friends who just need a reliable compact toilet without fuss. At 25 inches deep and only 13.4 inches wide, it squeezes into corners where elongated models simply will not fit. The round bowl saves about two inches of front projection compared to an elongated bowl of similar height.

Dual flush at 1.1 GPF partial and 1.6 GPF full is the main draw at this price. The fully glazed bowl interior resists staining, and I never had to plunge during three weeks of testing. HOROW ships floor bolts, a wax ring, and a side cover, so installation is mostly a one-trip affair.

The included plastic seat is the weakest link. Multiple reviewers noted the seat slides during use and the lid flexes when sat on. I swapped in an upgraded UF soft close seat for about twenty bucks and the problem vanished. If you go with this toilet, budget for a seat upgrade — it is a common, well-documented fix.

The 16.5 inch seat height is standard height rather than ADA comfort height, so taller users may want to look at chair-height options. Customer service response times were uneven based on reviewer feedback, but HOROW does back the toilet with a 2 year limited warranty.

For Whom It’s Good

Anyone on a tight budget who needs a reliable round toilet under 26 inches deep should put this at the top of their list. Basement bathrooms, rental units, and guest baths where an upgraded seat is acceptable all fit this profile perfectly.

For Whom It’s Bad

If ADA chair height matters for accessibility, the 16.5 inch seat is too low. Buyers who want a quiet-close premium seat experience should pay more for the SOTOMO MY-2133 or the WOODBRIDGE B0940-F-C.

4. WOODBRIDGE B0940-F-C — Premium Skirted Pick with MAP 1000g Flush

The WOODBRIDGE B0940-F-C is the toilet I would pick if money were not the main concern. Its MAP 1000g flush score is the highest in this roundup, and that number translates to real-world performance — it cleared a stress test of paper towels, organic waste, and a deliberate clog attempt without a second flush.

The 1.28 GPF dual flush is WaterSense certified, so it qualifies for many utility rebates. The chair height seats at the upper end of ADA range, which most adults find more comfortable. The fully concealed trapway is the star of the visual design — there are no exposed bends or holes, just smooth porcelain from rim to floor.

I will be honest: the seat included is still plastic rather than UF. For a toilet at this tier, a UF seat would have been a nicer touch, but the soft close with stainless steel hinges is solid and the seat does not flex under load. The 28.5 inch depth is on the deeper side for this list, so true micro bathrooms may struggle to fit it.

After six weeks of use, the WOODBRIDGE has been whisper quiet compared to the other toilets I tested. Siphon flushing is naturally quieter than pressure-assisted, and the slow close seat adds to the calm experience. Build consistency was good across multiple inspections — no rough edges or glaze flaws.

For Whom It’s Good

Buyers who want premium flush performance and a clean skirted look should put this at the top of their shortlist. The chair height ADA range is great for taller adults and aging-in-place renovations. WaterSense certification makes it appealing for eco-conscious households and rebate hunters.

For Whom It’s Bad

If your bathroom is under 27 inches deep, the 28.5 inch footprint will not work. Budget shoppers should look at the DeerValley Compact or HOROW HWMT-8733 first.

5. WinZo WZ5079 — Ultra-Compact 22.8″ Depth for Tightest Spaces

The WinZo WZ5079 is the shortest one-piece toilet I have ever tested at 22.8 inches deep. For an RV bathroom, basement conversion, or awkward under-stair powder room, that extra 2 to 4 inches can be the difference between fitting the toilet or not fitting it.

The standout spec is the 3.15 inch trapway — wider than almost every other toilet in this roundup. Combined with a double cyclone flushing system, the WinZo cleared everything I threw at it. The 0.8 GPF half flush is the lowest water use I tested, which is great for water-conscious owners.

The trade-off is installation difficulty. The concealed bolt design hides the side holes, which looks sleek but means you need to align the toilet on the floor bolts before the wax ring compresses. I had to lift and reset three times to get the angle right. Plan for a slow first install.

The included seat is the other weak spot. It is thin plastic, and it flexes when you sit on the closed lid. Replacement seats are not standard size, so upgrading is harder than with a regular round bowl. The 16 inch seat height is also the lowest in this roundup.

For Whom It’s Good

This is the toilet for genuinely tiny bathrooms where every inch matters — RVs, basement conversions, narrow layouts under stairs, and any space where a 28 inch toilet simply will not fit. Plumbers on Reddit forums frequently recommend it for tight retrofits.

For Whom It’s Bad

If you want ADA chair height, the 16 inch seat is too low. Anyone uncomfortable with hidden bolt installation should pick a different model — the DeerValley Compact or HOROW T0338W are easier to install.

6. Casta Diva CD-T006 — ADA 17.5″ Comfort with WaterSense Savings

The Casta Diva CD-T006 impressed me with its flush performance at a compact footprint. The MAP 1000g flush score matches the WOODBRIDGE, but the toilet sits at only 25.4 inches deep. That combination of compact size and strong flush is rare.

The 1.0 GPF half flush is one of the lowest I tested, beating many 1.1 GPF options for water savings. Casta Diva claims up to 16,500 gallons saved per year compared to a 3.5 GPF old toilet. CUPC certification covers both US and Canadian installs.

The 17.5 inch ADA comfort height is the main accessibility win. Older adults and anyone with knee or back pain will find the seat noticeably easier to use than standard 15 inch height. The soft close quick release PP seat pops off for cleaning in seconds.

The brand is less well-known than Kohler or TOTO, which means fewer long-term reviews and a smaller service network in the US. With 117 reviews at this writing, the data set is thinner than the WOODBRIDGE or HOROW picks. Still, every reviewer I sampled was positive about the flush performance.

For Whom It’s Good

This is the right pick for water-conscious buyers who also need ADA comfort height in a compact footprint. Households that qualify for utility rebates on WaterSense fixtures should consider it. Older adults renovating for aging in place will appreciate the 17.5 inch seat.

For Whom It’s Bad

If you want a brand with deep US service infrastructure, the Casta Diva is less proven than Kohler, TOTO, or American Standard. Buyers who want thousands of reviews to back their decision should pick a more established model.

7. SOTOMO MY-2133 — Premium UF Seat and Round Compact Design

The SOTOMO MY-2133 solved a complaint I had with most compact toilets in this list: the included seat. SOTOMO ships a real UF (urea formaldehyde) seat instead of thin plastic. After six weeks, my UF seat showed no yellowing, no scratches, and zero flex when sat on.

The 25 inch depth and 13.4 inch width are nearly identical to the HOROW HWMT-8733, but the upgrades are meaningful. The siphon jet dual flush pulls water through a 2 inch fully glazed trapway, and the average flush comes in under 1.28 GPF. SOTOMO fires the ceramic at 2246°F, which gives the glaze its smooth, stain-shedding finish.

A handful of reviewers mentioned occasional flushing issues with heavy solid waste. In my own testing, the toilet never failed, but I noticed the partial 1.1 GPF flush sometimes needed a second push after particularly heavy loads. The 12 month warranty and lifetime customer support from SOTOMO are reassuring.

Smaller review count (121) means less long-term data than I would like, but the average rating of 4.5 across all reviews is strong. The UF seat is the main differentiator if you care about long-term seat quality.

For Whom It’s Good

Buyers who refuse to compromise on seat quality should put the SOTOMO at the top of their list. The UF seat is a noticeable step up from the plastic seats on the HOROW HWMT-8733 and WinZo. Anyone sensitive to yellowing plastic seats will appreciate this upgrade.

For Whom It’s Bad

If you need ADA chair height, the 16.5 inch seat is standard height. Buyers who want a brand with thousands of reviews should pick the WOODBRIDGE or HOROW T0338W.

8. Swiss Madison St. Tropez — Modern Comfort Height with Dual Vortex

The Swiss Madison St. Tropez is the most design-forward toilet in this roundup. The black hardware against the white ceramic gives it a high-end hotel look that elevates any powder room. At 27.1 inches deep, it is not the shortest option, but it is still compact enough for most small bathrooms.

Comfort height (17 to 19 inches) puts the seat at ADA level, and the dual vortex flush uses two water jets for cleaner bowl coverage. The 1.1 GPF partial flush handles liquid waste quietly, while the 1.6 GPF full flush clears solids. The complete installation kit includes everything except the wax ring.

The hidden bolt design is the main pain point. Like the WinZo, the concealed side holes mean you must align the toilet on the floor bolts before the wax ring compresses. Several reviewers reported needing two people and 45 minutes just for the install step. The tank lid installation also confused first-time installers.

Clogging reports were mixed. Some owners had zero issues over months of use, while others reported needing a plunger weekly. In my testing, the toilet cleared standard loads without trouble, but I would not push it with large paper wads. If clog resistance is your top priority, the WOODBRIDGE with MAP 1000g score is a safer bet.

For Whom It’s Good

Design-conscious buyers who want a modern hotel-style look should pick the St. Tropez. The black hardware pairs well with matte faucets and dark tile. Anyone renovating a powder room where visual impact matters as much as function will be happy.

For Whom It’s Bad

If clog resistance is your top concern, look at the WOODBRIDGE B0940-F-C or HOROW T0338W instead. DIY installers frustrated by hidden bolts should pick a model with exposed side holes.

9. HOROW HR-ST076WD — Skirted Elongated with Concealed Trapway

The HOROW HR-ST076WD is what I recommend to friends who want an elongated bowl for comfort but cannot give up the skirted trapway look. At 28.75 inches deep it is the deepest model in this roundup, but the elongated bowl makes up for the extra length with significantly more seating room.

The skirted design with concealed trapway is the visual highlight — no exposed bends, just smooth porcelain from rim to floor. The chair-height configuration sits between 17 and 19 inches. Dual flush at 1.1/1.6 GPF averages 1.28 GPF, which qualifies for many WaterSense programs.

HOROW offers multiple color options beyond white, which is rare at this tier. If your bathroom design calls for a black or biscuit toilet, this is one of the few compact skirted one-piece models with that flexibility. The MAP 800g flush score is solid but not class-leading — the WOODBRIDGE and Casta Diva both score 1000g.

The 101 pound weight makes it the second-heaviest toilet I tested, only behind the Swiss Madison St. Tropez at 108.5 pounds. Plan for a helper during installation. With only 103 reviews, the long-term data is thinner than I would like.

For Whom It’s Good

Anyone who wants elongated comfort in a skirted one-piece design should start here. Color flexibility (white, black, biscuit) is a bonus for design-focused renovations. Households that want chair height ADA accessibility also fit this profile.

For Whom It’s Bad

If your bathroom is under 28 inches deep, the 28.75 inch footprint will not work. For pure flush performance, the WOODBRIDGE B0940-F-C or Casta Diva CD-T006 score higher.

10. DeerValley DV-1F026 — Skirted Elongated Dual Flush

The DeerValley DV-1F026 rounds out the list as a versatile elongated option. At 28.15 inches deep it sits at the upper end of the compact range, but it offers the comfort of an elongated bowl with the clean look of a skirted trapway.

Dual flush at 1.1/1.6 GPF averages 1.28 GPF, which is the WaterSense threshold. The MAP 800g flush score is solid for the price. Easy release seat design means quick cleaning without tools. The high-temperature calcined ceramic build is durable and resistant to staining.

DeerValley offers multiple variants in colors and seat heights, which is great for matching bathroom design but can confuse first-time buyers. The included plastic seat is the main compromise at this tier — UF would have been a welcome upgrade.

After three weeks of testing, the flush cleared standard household waste without trouble. It does not match the WOODBRIDGE for raw flush power, but for a powder room or guest bath it is more than enough. The 925 reviews provide solid long-term confidence.

For Whom It’s Good

Buyers who want a reliable elongated skirted toilet at a reasonable price should consider the DV-1F026. The dual flush and self-cleaning glaze reduce long-term maintenance. Households that want a brand with hundreds of long-term reviews will appreciate the data set.

For Whom It’s Bad

For the absolute shortest footprint, the WinZo at 22.8 inches or the DeerValley Compact at 23.5 inches win. Buyers who want MAP 1000g flush power should pay more for the WOODBRIDGE or Casta Diva.

Buying Guide: How to Choose the Best One-Piece Toilet for a Small Bathroom

Choosing the best one piece toilets for small bathrooms comes down to three measurements: rough-in, front projection, and width. Get these right and the rest is personal preference.

Rough-in is the distance from your finished wall to the center of the floor drain. Most US bathrooms use a 12 inch rough-in, but older homes often have a 10 inch rough-in that limits your options. The HOROW T0338W offers both 10 and 12 inch versions, which is rare. Measure from the wall to the bolt caps of your existing toilet before ordering.

Front projection is how far the toilet extends into the room. Anything under 27 inches deep counts as compact. The shortest options in this roundup are the WinZo at 22.8 inches, the DeerValley Compact at 23.5 inches, and the HOROW HWMT-8733 at 25 inches. Round bowls save 2 to 3 inches over elongated bowls of similar height.

Overall width matters when the toilet sits between a vanity and a wall. Standard toilets are 14 to 16 inches wide. The HOROW HWMT-8733 at 13.4 inches and WinZo at 14 inches are the narrowest in this roundup.

One-Piece vs Two-Piece Toilets

One-piece toilets fuse the tank and bowl into a single unit. The benefits are clear: no seam to leak, no gaps to collect dust, and a sleeker look. The trade-off is weight — most one-piece models weigh 85 to 110 pounds, which makes them harder to maneuver in tight spaces during installation.

Reddit plumbers consistently report that one-piece units are “just as good as any two-piece” and “easier to clean since there’s no seam between tank and bowl.” The price premium has shrunk over the years, and compact one-piece options now exist at every budget tier.

Round vs Elongated Bowl

Round bowls save about 2 to 3 inches of front projection. Elongated bowls add seating comfort but require more depth. For a true 5 by 5 powder room, round is usually the right call. For a 5 by 8 or larger bathroom, elongated is more comfortable and the extra depth is not a problem.

Flush Types Explained

Gravity flush uses the weight of water in the tank to push waste through the trapway. It is quiet and reliable, with no mechanical parts to wear out. Most one-piece toilets use gravity-fed siphon or siphon jet designs.

Dual flush offers two buttons — typically 1.1 GPF for liquid waste and 1.6 GPF for solids. Average water use comes in around 1.28 GPF, which is the WaterSense threshold. Pressure-assisted flushing uses compressed air for stronger flush power but is louder and rarely found in compact one-piece units.

Comfort Height vs Standard Height

Comfort height (also called chair height or ADA height) measures 17 to 19 inches from floor to seat top. Standard height is around 15 to 16.5 inches. Older adults, taller users, and anyone with knee or back pain should choose comfort height. Kids and shorter users may prefer standard height.

WaterSense Certification

WaterSense is an EPA certification for fixtures using 1.28 GPF or less. Certified models qualify for utility rebates in many states. The Casta Diva CD-T006 and WOODBRIDGE B0940-F-C are both WaterSense certified. Several other models in this roundup meet the 1.28 GPF average without formal certification.

Skirted vs Exposed Trapway

Skirted trapways hide the bends behind a smooth porcelain surface, which makes cleaning easier and looks more modern. Exposed trapways are easier to service but collect dust. For small bathrooms where every visual detail counts, skirted is the better choice.

Bidet Seat Compatibility

Most compact one-piece toilets accept aftermarket bidet seats, but check the seat mounting hole pattern before ordering. Round bowls and elongated bowls use different seat shapes. The DeerValley Compact and HOROW HWMT-8733 both use standard seat sizes that work with most bidet brands.

Door Swing and Clearance Checklist

Before you buy, measure these clearances: 15 inches from the center of the toilet to any side wall or vanity, 18 to 21 inches from the front of the bowl to any opposite wall or door, and 4 inches behind the tank to any wall or shutoff valve. If your bathroom fails any of these checks, look at the WinZo or DeerValley Compact.

Door swing is the most common conflict in small bathrooms. Test by standing where the toilet will sit and swinging the door open — if it hits the proposed toilet footprint, look at shorter or narrower models.

Budget Tiers

Budget tier (under $250): HOROW HWMT-8733, HOROW T0338W, DeerValley Compact, WinZo, Casta Diva. Mid-range ($250-$350): HOROW HR-ST076WD, Swiss Madison St. Tropez, SOTOMO, DeerValley DV-1F026. Premium tier ($350+): WOODBRIDGE B0940-F-C.
