Easy to install & no more plunger

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2014

This is a great toilet for a household that is routinely using the plunger.
It has been in use for about 5 months now. With my old toilet the kids clogged it almost daily. With this new toilet, I may have pulled out the plunger 5 times, if that.

Pros
Powerful, fast flush
No more plunger!!!!
Easy to install
Less flushing = saves water

Cons
Noisier that standard toilet, but not excessively so.

Installation Notes
I purchased the Fenco wax free toilet seal from my local big box hardware store. This was a breeze to use. No worries if the wax flange sealed OK. If you do not know your sewage pipe size, I suggest buying both the 3" and 4" sizes before hand, and returning the unused item.

When I first installed the toilet, the water kept running and running. After LOTS of troubleshooting, it was a simple fix. The screws that connected the flush rod to the reservoir were tightened down too much at the factory. Unscrewing a quarter turn fixed the problem. No stars taken off.

Toilet paper won't go down.

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2016

I've owned this toilet since 2012. This toilet was less expensive than the local price. When I installed this, the bolts that hold the tank to bowl were loose and would not tighten (spinning inside tank). I called the manufacturer as i didn't want to remove the internal tank and pressure system. The service people said to get the nut far enough up the threads and hold the threaded end with locking pliers, so I did. After nthe toilet was installed, the flush is fast and strong but even toilet paper gets stuck on the wet sides. It turns out that the interior bowl is so rough that almost everything sticks. I can blow my nose and toss the tissue in the toilet and flush multiple times, still stuck. I thought that after use for a while the toilet might get better due to the water running over the interior of the bowl. After 6 years now, still this morning, I put a small piece of toilet paper in the bowl and didn't hit water only, so 3 flushes later, it's still there. I think that American Standard is selling the defects online. I can't imagine all their products are like this, but maybe I got the rare defect. Anyway, if I will buy locally on items like this, so I can inspect the surface finish.

Although it the seat is higher ( easier to get off & on) and has the power flush & self-clean ( the self-clean part leaves a lot to be desired) you still
have to clean the bowl, build up is not nearly as bad as a reg. commode)
The toilet appears to have a tough time flushing down the tissue, the water only comes down on one side, thus if tissue is on other side of commode
it won't always carry it down.
The power flush works great, but it is loud but only for a few seconds, because of high pressure.
The floor ( 0) ring works great and you don't have to worry about movement.
The power seat (toto) brand is quieter than a mouse & works in the up position as well (the last couple of inches)
Home depot doesn't offer but a few w/power flush, my old toilet was gravity feed that I wanted away from. Have read that (power flush) can damage pipes because of pressure, this house was built in 1972--no problems yet.
Is it or was it worth it-if your old toilet is working You can always put a couple of jars in tank to save water If you have a high water bill.
the newer toilets are a lot nicer in design & function, efficiency even w/the gravity flush type I had to get one that didn't sit on the floor (bad back,
bad legs) might as well dug a cat hole.
PLEASE read specs on all toilets, what they can & can't do.
This toilet cost me $400.00 plus another $100 for a friend that is a pro plumber. Seat & wax ring included.
I like it getting more used to it very day!

Finally it flushes!

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2014

Style: ToiletVerified Purchase

I bought this for my husband who was famous for taking several flushes to ever get anything to clear and often flooding the toilet as a result. The packing was great very secure and safe nothing broke or chipped. The installation was very easy, ensrue you buy a wax ring it does not come with one. It is not ridiculously loud, but louder than a normal toilet. It has only taken one flush to move everything successfully, FINALLY! the only small note for women....if you are only throwing in toilet paper aim for the back, dropping near the front wont make it go down as there are no water jets up there.. overall very happy with this purchase and will be buying a second.. (there was recently a recall on this model for the jet in back, but it only requires a fix it solution and not sending the whole toilet back. one HUGE blow for this order, was I bought it as a prime purchase with guranteed shipping during XMAS time, what Amazon failed to tell you was that with the weight it required third party shipping which delayed the shipment and additionally required to make an appoitment time to have it delvivered and they only delivered one day a week .. that being said my two day shiiping took a month!! Be aware!!

This toilet will not plug!

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014

Style: ToiletVerified Purchase

I had one of these in a previous house (which I installed as well) and always loved that I never had a plugged toilet. The only slight negative (well for me it was funny) is it was just loud enough that it would scare my little kids. They would flush it and run out or just not flush it.

The kids are grown up and now we don't have to deal with scared kids. The toilet was, like any toilet, simple to install. There is not special knowledge or tools needed just because it has the pressure device - it is completely self-contained and functioning out of the box.

As noted above, it is slightly loud, but not overly so. If you are looking to have a nice quiet, downstairs, guest toilet and don't want to embarrass your guests, you probably should not use this one - however I have it downstairs since that is where I "go #2" most often. It is actually more of a conversational piece now.

The one in my previous house was very reliable, no issues - I expect the same from this one.

Works well, but a bit louder than expected.

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2013

Style: ToiletVerified Purchase

I have owned this toilet for about 1 month. It works well and seems to have a strong flush.
I had heard pressure assisted toilets were louder than gravity flow, but also heard new models are almost
as quiet as gravity flow. However, clearly the flush of this toilet is pretty loud.
Every time I flush it I want to say, fire in the hole or torpedo away!

Anyway, its a nice toilet and works well. I am happy because during the summer my old toilet seemed to sweat an awful
lot. This toilet, of course, does not. I may purchase another for my other bathroom.

It took two tries for Amazon to get the whole thing here and intact. It comes in two boxes. It is loud but I expected that, no more plugged toilets since installing. Added a lighted heated bidet seat and now everyone is happy in the house.

Great pressure, easy install

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016

Style: ToiletVerified Purchase

I replaced a standard flush toilet with this one. It is in a commercial environment and it made a world of difference. I regret waiting so long and I will be buying more as time permits and swapping out the 7 toilets we have. They aren't too loud and the pressure flush is pretty strong. We haven't had to plunge this toilet and it's been installed in a bar for 2 months.

Flushes great but is super loud! We haven't yet clogged this toilet with our compostable flushable diapers. But don't flush at night or you will wake up the whole house!
