For example, some models can be represented by too large a size or have an inappropriate depth of the bowl, and in others, they may be insufficiently completed.

Models without a rim differ primarily in the structure of the bowl itself. If you cut a bowl of a standard toilet bowl, you will see a P-like section, under which dirt collects. The rimless models have no such problem, because the rim itself is missing. In this case, some manufacturers have a small groove on the surface, while others have completely smooth walls.

For this, different technologies were created. One of them is the Rimfree technology, which provides for special patented devices that separate water. Another technology Tornado Flush, used by the brand Toto, is the outflow of water from 3 holes with the creation of a vortex.
