Mom & Dad have the Memoirs one piece comfort height elongated seat toilet and have had no problems with it. The 2 piece round front standard height Memoirs in their powder room on the other hand has had clogging issues. Just to throw a little extra in the mix, they both agree that the Kohler Portrait 2 piece comfort height elongated toilet in the basement is the best toilet in the house. Hope this helps!

We have a very modest budget for a bathroom renovation including about $400 for a tub. (This bath is currently our only bathroom, but in the next few years we'll be creating a master bathroom and it will be a secondary bath for kids/guests. Also we are just wrapping up a full house rewiring and embarking on a kitchen renovation - don't ask about my sanity! - so on the priority list the bath is falling last.) I have been looking at the Kohler Devonshire and Bancroft models which Home Depot carries for roughly $400 each. I have an opportunity to buy a brand new, in-box Devonshire whirlpool model, however, on Craigslist for $550 - or less if I can talk them down. We probably wouldn't use the whirlpool that often, maybe once a month. It would be nice to have. But we primarily shower. I've been reading that the Devonshire has armrests which cuts down on standing room while showering; would you give up that room and pay an extra $100-150 to get a whirlpool if you were in my shoes? I saw the Devonshire model at HD but wasn't able to stand/sit in it. I'm out of town and need to make a decision this week, so any comments would be appreciated! Thanks for your insight!

I hate our Al Gore Model Kohler enviro toilets (the class 5's with the low water usage). If too much paper is used or you clean up after the dogs (or if . . ., well, you get the picture). . .they clog and our plungers do not work on them because of the rectangular shape of the hole from the bowl. I say it is time to flush the enviro Nazis from our system, compost Liberalism and go back to the Freedom of 5 gallon turbotanks!!!! Repeal all the low water and light bulb laws and if Congress won't do that, we need to have some enhance your tank plans available on-line to overcome this enviro stupidity.

Just took another look online and found this article at the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/home/2014/08/19/e68cec48-230d-11e4-8593-da634b334390_story.html?utm_term=.32b6c0b652a3 Re-enameling doesn't look promising! On the other hand, I might be able to get a few bucks for the old one! Found a near match online missing the soap dish selling for $150. Unfortunately, almost as rusty. http://www.periodbath.com/pdshop/shop/item.aspx?itemid=6207 cpartist: if you decide to look for a vintage sink, this looks like the place. I found a few salvage sites when I first moved in as I needed nice old porcelain doorknobs to replace some 70s are project ones. There are dedicated suppliers of old house parts.
