Choosing a Kohler toilet: how to weigh form vs. function?
Comments (10)Thanks,Lukkiirish. I did look at the MaP report based on a link in an older thread. If I'm understanding it correctly, it tells me mostly what I know from the specs: in the Kohler line Class 6 and Class 5 toilets move more waste than the older Ingenium models or the dual flush models. What I can't judge from the specs is whether the differences in waste volume are noticeable or meaningful in real-world use. Not to get too scatalogical, but I certainly can't look in my toilet and judge what might be 600 grams or 1,000 grams of solid waste! (I also checked the MaP report for some Toto models which I liked stylistically, like the Pacifica, Vespin and Nexus, but for some reason none of them are listed. I don't know what that means.) I realize no one can tell me for certain what we'd be happy with, but I am interested in hearing people's satisfaction with these various toilets. If someone has a Cimarron Class 6 and also a Persuade or San Raphael, it would be interesting to know if you can't tell the difference in the flush, or conversely, if you feel the newer Class 5 or 6 models make all the difference in the world. Or, if anyone has experience with the any of the Class 5 models and also a Cimarron Class 6, is the newer Class 6 do a significantly better job washing down the bowl, or is it an indistinguishable difference? -- Eric P.S. Is there anything to read into the fact that Kohler introduced the Class 6 Cimarron a year (or more?) ago, but haven't yet moved any of their other Class 5 models to Class 6? If the changes in the Class 6 were driven by customer complaints about the bowl not being cleaned well enough in the Class 5 toilets, I would have thought they would have been moving quickly to transition more models to Class 6. Does this indicate the market is telling them that they still didn't get it "right" with the Class 6 Cimarron, and they're developing something else?...See MoreHelp choose - Toto Promenade or Kohler Memoirs?
Comments (6)I started off wanting the Memoirs suite -- toilet, pedestal sink, the works -- but I ended up with the Toto Eco-Promenade with a round seat (and no Memoirs at all -- long story there). I have had no problems whatsoever with its performance in the four months that it's been installed; aesthetically, it fits the vintagey look that I wanted; my water bill has dropped (it replaced a 5 gallon water hog); and it has a relatively small footprint/bowl protrusion, which was important to me in a small bathroom. HTH. FWIW, here's a work in progress pic. The sink is a Kohler Archer, and the vanity is from RH. If there's a difference in whites, I can't see it in person, and you can't in the crummy lighting of this pic :) Blue...See MoreLooking for Opinions on Memoirs Cast Iron Tub
Comments (6)Hi Enduring. I have a Memoirs and love it except for the non-slip coating. Between my well water and clay soil the non-slip area gets an orangey, brown color that I cannot clean off easily. I don't have a water filter. I use a magic eraser and scrub, but it is soon nasty again. It is deep, comfortable and has a vintage vibe. One hint, check the finish of the porcelain carefully. We bought ours through Lowe's and twice it was delivered with a huge chip in it and the third one had tiny spots of glazing missing from the side under the drain. Something we didn't notice till partially installed. Kohler sent a replacement immediately and told use to keep the one we started to install....See MoreMid Priced Kohler Toilets - Cimarron & Wellworth
Comments (4)We have the new Kohler Wellworth (not the classic) in the comfort height in all 4 baths. The comfort height is really nice. DS2 is 7 and has no problem with it either. I really love the styling of the new Wellworth toilet and that was one of the big factors after taking into account functionality of the toilet system itself. Quite happy with the Wellworth....See Moresoutheasthouse
