Lol... it empties fine silly. It just bubbles! Haha
I attempted to edit and add the following comment, but apparently the edit button has been excluded.
If the WC is of the "water saver" type and you hold the flush lever down, thus initiating a double flush, that vacating of fluids in the mouth of the trap leaves an air space, causing bubbles.
Other may as well be a configuration of the rapidity of the expulsion.
Nothing to worry about, just resist the temptation to gasp in amazement.

It isn't a water saver, here is a video.... the other potty doesn't do this at all.

It was new, so assembled
All new WC's are "water saver" in that the flush is 1.6 gal.
One of the tests to determine where the bubbles are originating is to slightly lower the tank level, and thereby the flush volume, flush and note any change, another is to use a 5 gal. bucket of water slowly poured into the bowl, which will initiate a flush and continuing the pour until the bowl refills, and note any bubbles.

Ok... I'll give these a try on Saturday. I work 12 hour shifts the next 3 days

Are you referring to the bubbles floating on top before you flush? Those look like soap bubbles. the actual flush looked fine to me.
No, more like at beginning of flush

What brand is this toilet? Is it the same as the other one?
