Oddly enough, I had the toilet fill valve go bad in ALL three of my toilets in about a 3-month period. The toilets weren't too old at only six years since the house was built, but nonetheless they needed replacements all around the same time.
We picked this one up on Amazon as I had already bought one from another store and didn't realize that all three ere going to go out around the same time period. This price to this was comparable to other stores and with the convenience that I didn't have to go pick it up.
Installation was a breeze. Turn off water, flush, and disconnect the water line. I did have to adjust the height slightly to make the fill hose align more correctly, but that's easily accomplished with this valve.
I can't tell that filling is any faster than my old valve, but I will say it's much quieter! My old valves still worked, but were causing my toilet to run occasionally and also had a random "groan" occasionally. Now there's no running and they're all nice and quiet.
Pro-tip: Make sure you don't also need a flapper to go along with the valve. I had one flapper that was pretty deformed and was causing the toilet to run. (The valve still needed to be replaced to fix the loud groans though).
Overall, pretty happy with this buy. Super easy to install and solved my problem. Hopefully I can get another 6 years out of this before having to replace again.
