Cloakroom (Toilet & Basin) Macerators

Yes, these cloakroom macerators are designed to work with any toilet and basin combination, including wall-hung, freestanding or furniture units. They chop and pump waste and water into your existing plumbing so you aren't limited by the toilet style. For example, you can pair a wall-hung pan with a small furniture basin and feed both into a two-inlet macerator.

For a simple toilet plus basin you'll normally need a unit with two inlets, which three of the products on the page provide. A three-inlet or four-inlet macerator lets you add an extra fixture such as a bidet or small shower, and one listing even offers a four-inlet Max Slim model. So if you think you might add a shower or additional basin later, choose a model with more inlets up front.

The Flo-Force Max Slim is explicitly a slim macerator and is priced competitively at around £130, making it a good choice where depth is limited. Flo-Force also offer compact Extra and Ultra variants (the Ultra has a high-grade motor casing for longevity) at similar price points, so you can balance size with build quality. The Saniflo and Grundfos units are larger and sit higher in price, so they're better if you need extra capacity or service access.

Flo-Force models on the page cover slim, budget and heavy-duty motor-cased options and are well suited to typical cloakrooms; they're the lower-price range here. Saniflo models such as the Sanitop Up and Saniaccess 2 sit higher in price and tend to offer easier service access and established brand support. The Grundfos Sololift2 WC-1 is a single, trusted alternative at a mid-to-high price point, so match the model to the number of inlets you need and how much you value long-term serviceability.

Expect basic servicing like occasional clearing of debris from the basin trap and periodic checks for blockages; the Saniaccess 2 model explicitly offers easier access for servicing. Models with robust motor casings, for example the Flo-Force Ultra, give greater durability and reduce service frequency. Regularly running clean water through the unit after use helps keep the cutter and pump working smoothly.
