On the surface, the TOTO Neorest NX1 and the TOTO Neorest 500H look completely different. Functionally, however, there are few differences between these two high performing units. The main differences center around the look and feel of the units, the materials used to construct them, and a few upgrades to the NX1’s design that increase function and comfort.
Look & Feel
The Neorest NX1 is a streamlined, modern-looking unit with smooth, rounded contours, and its made entirely out of high quality vitreous china. The Neorest 500H features soft curves but isn’t as contemporary and sleek as the NX1, and it is made out of both vitreous china and plastic. However, the Neorest 500H comes in both white and beige, making it easy to match your existing bathroom fixtures, while the Neorest NX1 is only available in white.
NX1 Upgrades
The NX1’s redesigned seat, bowl, and flushing system set it apart from previous models. The new and improved seat enhances user comfort by offering increased stability and support, and the universal seat height (also called “comfort height”) makes it easier for those with mobility difficulties to use. The NX1’s unique, rimless bowl design gives germs and grime no place to hide and is a snap to clean. Furthermore, TOTO’s innovative redesign of the Tornado Flush system delivers an even more powerful flush that targets the areas of the bowl that are most likely to attract residue, making it easier than ever to keep the bowl clean.
Final Thoughts
In our book, it’s almost impossible to beat the TOTO NX1. However, both the TOTO NX1 and the TOTO Neorest 500H are high performing, so determining which is right for you depends on your personal style, materials preferences, and color needs, as well as your feelings about the upgrades in the NX1’s flushing system, seat, and bowl.
