I recently had a Kohler Cimmaron Comfort-Height Elongated toilet installed in my house, and so far we're very pleased with it.

Likes:

* Comfort height seating: the extra height is more forgiving to people with back and/or knees difficulties.

* Class 5 Flush & Wide clog-free outlet: say goodbye to the plunger because chances are high you won't need it anymore.

* Quiet: It operates quietly (although it does tend to 'chug' a bit at the end of a flush), and it has a quiet slow-close lid, which prevents noisy lid clatter.

* One piece construction makes cleaning a cinch (fewer crevices), and gives the toilet an elegant appearance.

* Quick-release seat: no more fiddling underneath the toilet in order to remove the seat ... just lift the catch, squeeze the release, and off comes the seat for easy cleaning or replacement.

Minor Nits:

* The in-sloped seat is a very slightly uncomfortable, but tolerable.

* I wish the toilet flush volume were a bit more adjustable. It comes set for 1.6, but can only be changed to 1.4. It'd be nice if you could increase it to, say, 1.8 or 2.0 if you wanted to. The toilet flushes fast and quietly, but it seems to cry out for just a slightly larger volume of flush water.

Recommended. A tad pricey, but worth it. Also, as with all all merchandise, it pays to shop around ... I got mine for under $400.

I feels so good to be flushing with so little water. The only way to flush with less would be dual flush and that's more complicated should it need to be repaired. I don't feel it needs more water to flush. In an instant it's empty. I've been living with it for a year now. The best toilet I've ever lived with!

I bought three of this style for my home renovation and am returning all 3. Only 1 has been installed. It has a serious design flaw and I was up until late in the night trying to figure it out. Upon flushing, the tank empties no problem, but the bowl does not!! My plumber, who is doing all of my renovation work was here 1st thing this morning, shaking his head. He told me that because of the 1.6 gallon (more water efficient ) tank size, there is not enough pressure to empty the bowl. He has had many customers with the same problem. I did not try to flush anything other than toilet paper. He told me to go back to a 2 piece toilet OR be very careful with what toilet paper you use. Don't use the 2 ply brand. Anyway, I am giving up style for reliable toilets & returning this style for 2 piece. You hope never to have to replace a toilet and from experience I have had 1 piece Kohler styles for decades and have always had flushing issues. My plumber explained that with the 2 piece there is more ability to adjust the flow and the flap situation is also easier to adjust.

We replaced 3 of our toilets with this model. Perfect one piece design is easy to clean. Flush is powerful and quiet. Lid is self closing quietly. I am just waiting for our NOISY flushing Champion toilet to break down so we can replace it with one of these beauties. Well worth the money and came with the toilet seat (many don't for some reason) and Amazon had the best $

The flush is acceptable, with no complaints.. We purchased the one piece style; But, after it was installed the tank part was an (1 1/2") away from the wall behind.; This is not acceptable, for the price we had to pay, you'd think the essential basic's would be standard.. Why are the measurements different ? There should be a standard distance from the trap to the wall, but this commode is not the same distance as other's.. There were absolutely no pamplets, or information in the crate about this problem. This deffinitly is a BIG draw-back, and it do (SUCK)..

I bought 2 of these. One of them had a defective "flapper" and I had to go and buy a new one and install it. The other one doesn't always flush solid waste down completely and the toilet requires plunging to clear it. All in all, I am very disappointed in this Kohler product.

This is my second toilet like this one. Got the first one a year earlier when we remodeled the first bathroom. I like the comfort level and self closing toilet seat cover. Powerful flush too. Very easy to clean. We replaced a Kohler that we had for 19 years without any problems. Just wanted a different style.

The first seat we received was broken. We called and ordered the replacement while the first one was being shipped back. Received the replacement quickly and in one piece. Looks great!

Just bought mine for $99 at Lowes yesterday! Major score! Think it may be a close out item so hurry!
