you can get a 5gal. bucket from the home despot for abot $6. (yah, i know $6 for a friggin' bucket!)
I've installed several of the Glacier Bay chair height elongated bowl toilets. I hate Glacier Bay faucets, but this toilet has Fluidmaster guts, and one of the best rated flushes in the store, according to their propaganda. It's one of the newer high efficiency jobs, uses even less water than usual. I find the flush works fine for piss, but the handle needs to be held down just a second longer for the heavy stuff. Europe has gone to a two-button toilet, with one button sort of a half-flush, so I think these new HE toilets are following that example. The toilet goes for $109 locally at Home Depot and is complete- seat, wax ring, bolts & caps, everything. I toss their s***ty wax ring and get the reinforced bad boy, and I always replace the angle stop (valve) and supply line.
BTW, you would have gotten this same response from me in the correct forum.

you can always go the garbage bag in a cardboard box route.
Damn. Beat me to it.
If you have a local "habitat for humanity re-store" they should have a $25 crapper. Goes to a good cause too.

A recycled Kohler.
Best toilet I ever used was the Kohler elongated when I had my residential business for 22 years...never one call back. So you say "how strong does he really feel about them"?...I put over 48 to date here at the college and have not had ONE BIT of trouble with any of them to date.
It has a "short flush" but if you hold the handle down for an addtional 8-10 secs you get a "complete" flush...lets just say it'll send the mother load packing.....lol.
The same model I buy from WinnNelson is available at Lowes.

How would a recycled generator help him?
Yep, save yourself twenty bucks and twenty minute's work today. Wait 'till the stupid thing breaks and puts 2 inches of water over your floors while you're on vacation. Been there, seen it, the mildew smell never goes away, even when you replace all the drywall near the floor, all the doors, casings, flooring, baseboard... And that was the valve itself breaking, not the supply line.
Buy the angle stop from a plumbing supply store, The Brasscraft ones at HD suck. Dahl is a great product. Remember, after you replace that toilet, you won't look at it again until it gives you a problem. Don't let that problem be a flooded house.
You'll have to look at it, but I've never seen one that was soldered on. Most common nowadays is a compression fitting, or it might be a threaded fitting. What kind of pipes do you have- galvanized steel, or copper, CPVC, PEX...? If they're galvy, it's probably a threaded fitting. Anything else is probably a compression fitting, which are the easiest to change out.
You can either re-use the nut and ring, or buy a puller (HD, HF both carry them near me) and go all new. Post up a pic of what you have, if you want.
I like the Kohler Wellsworth or the Toto.
You can get the Toto Carusoe in white and elongated for around $135.00
