A direct comparison of toilets with rotational flushing – Geberit Acanto is test winner
20 May. 2025Geberit Acanto was rated the best toilet ceramic appliance with rotational flushing in the test of the German specialist magazine SBZ and the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences. The Geberit model stood out in particular for its flushing performance with low water volumes.
How good are toilet ceramics with rotational flushing? The German magazine SBZ, which focuses on the HVAC and plumbing industries, wanted to find out. In collaboration with the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, ten models were tested in which the flushing water flows through the ceramic in a rotational movement. The focus was on flushing quality and hygiene. The test included both standardised tests according to the DIN standard and practical applications. The ceramic models examined came from ten different suppliers operating in Germany.
The independent experts from the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences came to the conclusion that rotational flushing systems are superior to conventional flushing systems. All the models tested received ratings ranging from good to very good. Geberit Acanto, with its TurboFlush technology, impressed with top scores in all test categories, from the toilet paper and plastic ball flush tests to the ketchup smear tests. In the overall ranking, Acanto clearly beat its competitors.
Clean flushing with low water consumption
“Acanto's clear top performance in the flush tests with reduced water volumes and the sound level measurements is particularly pleasing,” says Tobias Ambauen, Head of the Ceramics and Bathroom Furniture Product Line. The outstanding results underscore the extensive hydraulic expertise of Geberit. The asymmetric interior shape of the Acanto guides the water in a precise and powerful vortex through the ceramic appliance. Thanks to this ideal control, the TurboFlush technology reduces the amount of water required for a thorough flush and minimises the flushing noise.
TurboFlush range expansion in 2025
In addition to the already well-known products Geberit Acanto and ONE, as well as the AquaClean shower toilet series, Geberit expanded its range of toilet ceramics with TurboFlush technology this year. Several models in the iCon series and Renova/Selnova models are also now available with TurboFlush. This means that Geberit is making TurboFlush technology accessible for various installation situations and in all price segments.
