Nope that's not it. There is a lot of cheap $39 garbage toilets out here. Some are just badly engineered. They sound like shit and work like shit. Cheap trash.
Plus if you are in an older house , chances are there is a kids toy stuck in there, that makes it plug more. One rental unit me and my brother fixed up had the heel of a small shoe stuck in there.
There was nothing wrong with the old toilet. I've always just wanted a premium toilet with some bells and whistles. I hate cheaping out on things that you use every day. I want to shit like a boss. First time this morning. The extra inch of ride height is great.
I highly recommend a toilet upgrade. I feel better than if I bought a new truck
