Kohler 3493-96 Highline Classic Comfort Height two-piece elongated chair height 1.6 gpf toilet, Biscuit

Act quickly before this model is regulated/banned by the various state governments. It uses 1.6 gallons per flush. Flush is fantastic and cleans the bowl - every time. Most people are buying the 1 gallon per flush toilet models to help conserve water. Problem is (every parent knows this) the water wise toilets do not flush well - frequently requiring three and four flushes. In addition, you need to keep a plunger and toilet bowl brush close by as there is simply not enough water to do a proper flush. Instead of saving money, sometimes you are left what looks like a "crime scene" and even bigger water bills. I am going through a remodel and this has proven one of the best remodeling investments I have made. New paint, crown moldings, new floors all seem better because of these new toilets. The toilet itself is at comfort height, high quality and super easy to install. The tank within the tank is already installed so you are flushing in less than 30 minutes. Whats it like when you flush? The water in the bowl and contents are gone in less than two seconds. I mean - all gone. Toilet bowl then fills almost immediately. There is additional flush noise but is very acceptable considering you now only flush once. These toilets do NOT use conventional flappers so leaking or constantly running toilets that can and $hundreds to your water bill is history. I installed the Lumilux LED toilet bowl lights to add some color and drama. The lights are motion activated and you have your choice of color. Lights stay on for about 15 seconds or until you turn on the bathroom light. Three AA batteries required and they last up to a year. My favorite color is blue. Guys, this blue light helps improve your aim 100% at night. Helps keep kid's toilet terrors away. when they have to use the toilet at night as the toilet becomes their friend - not the monster they have nightmares about. I changed out three toilets in my house and now each bathroom has the same toilet. My wife was skeptical and my son said he didn't care. Now they both say the benefits are amazing and feel this represents one of the best improvements you can make. Your house guests, women in particular cringe when they have to use their host's bathroom. When they flush and their freshly produced brown buddies will not go away, they are mortified and will flush to infinity until they are finally gone. The Kohler K-3493 solves this particular and embarrassing problem. One flush and the waste is sent to the next zip code. Conversation piece. Amazon shipped them perfectly. Toilets are packed to withstand rough and tumble delivery.

I wanted a toilet that would not clog unless I was putting something in there that most definitely should NOT be in there, and on that, this toilet delivers. It's extremely powerful and you can say goodbye to clogs. Performance wise, you have a commercial grade commode that gets rid of your waste with authority. The toilet is designed with efficiency in mind to go along with the pressure, having the biggest trapway I've seen. There are absolutely minimal obstructions for any waste/paper to cling on to. Like I said before, unless you're putting something in that most certainly should not go in there, you should never get a clog. Of course, there might be a problem with the plumbing down the drain line but it's EXTREMELY unlikely the Kohler will be at fault. It looks very nice too, like a premium toilet should (excluding those crazy $1000+ Japanese ultra-fancy models I can't comment on those). As for the packaging, it came in two absolutely huge boxes. These boxes had enough oh-so-environmentally friendly styrofoam packing that it nearly filled my (previously empty) garbage dumpster. I suppose that's the price you pay though, for making sure the fragile porcelain doesn't arrive cracked. I can't comment on ease of installation, as I had my plumber do it. I will say though he had no issues that I could see; it went without a hitch. This toilet is LOUD. Not as loud as the earlier pressure models, but I don't know if I'd want this installed in the master bathroom, unless your SO doesn't mind hearing a loud whoosh when he/she's trying to sleep. YMMV. Only slight problem I had was with the flush bar. It kept coming loose. I adjusted the flush actuator up a bit because I felt it had a bit too much clearance from the bar, it hasn't come loose again after that but I'm keeping an eye on it. Overall I highly recommend this toilet if you are sick and tired of clogs and you want to buy a toilet you can be absolutely SURE won't clog again!
