Are these not used basically everywhere now? Most new installations in Ireland seem to use one, and the not-super-up-to-date (has an analog-in TV!) French hotel room I’m in at the moment has one.

  Yep, in Italy as well, at least in relatively recent installations.

These are getting increasingly common in Mexico, also.

The site actually does have a page about dual flush toilets. https://toilet-guru.com/dual-flush.php https://toilet-guru.com/dual-flush.php

  Interesting I can't see it on the main page (but it's in the HTML source). Also the page misses the Australian connection.

These are standard in all the new constructions I see in Arizona.

Dual flush toilets are extremely common in the united states. I haven't seen a toilet installed in the last 5+ years that isn't dual flush. That said, the Australian style flush is pretty different than most of the toilets I see in the US. I was in a hotel in Boulder CO and thought my toilet flushed pretty weird, so I googled the brand (Caroma) and fell into a rabbit hole of toilet information. The one in that hotel regularly required two flushes to clear my waste, so I'm not sure I really buy the advantages of the Australian style vs the siphon flush I'm used too.

  I've heard of Dual flush toilets, but never seen any in real life. Maybe more common in places with a drought or bigger cities. I've seen a bunch with sensors that automatically flush though, I've figured that's the most common in commercial spaces.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I have this in my home and never figured out why the flush button was split in two!

  Same (I live in China). I actually had to double check it was split in two because I wasn't sure, muscle memory I guess.
