I’m in for it…(and “Howdy y’all” from Nashville)

[Goss92]

Hello everyone!

Excited this exists. I just bought my first home by myself. I live with just a roommate upstairs. I’m trying to fix everything as it breaks around me. Fences, garage doors, toilets, etc. I joined this forum to get advice as I’d like to learn and hopefully save money without big mistakes or frustration. It’s toilet time!

Excited to be here!

If you bought those toilets, then yes. You’re in for it.

Tell me whyy??

Kohlers flush system in my opinion is the worst on the market.

You couldn’t pay me to have those in my house much less me buy them.

Rather than a conventional flapper they have a (flush tower) sometimes the handle sticks against the tank wall I believe there are retro fit kits out there

Makes sense. So if I went for the cheaper Glacier Bay, would that be better or worse? Right now the GB is more than the Kohler.

My current toilet has a tower on it and it doesn’t flush but it’s also 15 years old.

The yellow seals they use are crap IMO

Both are crap

Toto is a good toilet, when you look for toilets check their flushing mechanisms and diameter of the outlet

Get a toilet with a flapper in it

American Standard or Toto is all I will use. I was a Am Standard champ fanboy from way back, but also like the Toto I installed in my guest bathroom.
