Which one did you go with? I may consider something like that on my 348.

So how is the noise with it? How much noise does it make? And for how long after finishing your business does it run (for #1 vs #2). I'm concerned about the noise and whether it's bothersome enough to wake everyone up if used at night.

The previous owner of my 268 put that on, and I love it.

The noise is moderate and short lived. My wife will sotmetimes use it late at night and the kids don't wake up. Just sounds like a motor dicing up your business.
It works great

So is this a complete removal of the existing toilet and vacuum equipment or a disconnect and installation of the electric device?
