Kohler Memoirs Stately Toilet Review

Flushing System

The patented system used in this product, AquaPiston, uses a piston in place of a flapper. This is a better solution for two reasons. One reason is that it is sturdier, so it will hold up better. The other reason is that it creates a great amount of suction when used, so that it gives you a proper flush. You shouldn’t have to flush multiple times when you install this model. Its powerful pump allows for water to flow back into your tank within seconds, lessening the chance of encountering stains and other discolorations.

Design

This two part toilet has a tank and a bowl, which enable easier installation in bathrooms of all sizes and shapes. The bowl has a tall pedestal, which lets you to see how high it is off the floor. The height is about 17 inches before the seat is installed.

The tank has a square molding design around the bottom where it meets the floor and the same is true for the top of the tank as well. This gives it an overall simple design that is also sophisticated.

If you like the way it looks, there are other fixtures you can purchase for your bathroom that are in the Memoirs collection and will match perfectly.

Cleaning

This product is made from vitreous china, which means there aren’t a lot of places that will hold on to germs and dirt. The trap is also glazed, making it even easier to keep clean in all the visible areas. In other words, you won’t have to go out of your way to keep it sparkling and smelling good. Simply clean it when you clean the rest of your bathroom.

Consumption

Each flush uses only 1.28 gallons of water. Most modern toilets use around 1.6 gallons, so this is an improvement. You could end up saving a lot of money on your water bill. However, even though the water amount is low, it is powerful, so you aren’t dealing with an inadequate unit.

Installation

Installing this toilet is a standard job and is not really any different than most other models. It is 12 inch rough-in and has 3 bolts. Since it is two parts, you will have to make sure that the tank is installed level. Other than that, it shouldn’t be a problem to put it in whether or not you’ve ever done it before. You can download the manual from Kohler or hire a professional plumber to do it for you. Keep in mind that you will have to purchase a ring for the toilet to sit in and a seat separately, in order to be able to use it.

Customer Reviews

The reviews for this product are very positive. Some users had a few ups and downs with their units, but nothing stemming from the design or use of the item itself. Others had minor complaints, but overall people were satisfied with the purchase of this one. It may be due to the fact that you can find it in a color that matches your bathroom. The toilet even comes in black, if you want to take a walk on the wild side. Besides that, many people purchased one for each of their bathrooms after they used it, since it doesn’t cause you any problems and uses technology that makes it easy to use and care for.

Conclusion

Whether you are aware of how much time you spend in the bathroom or not, it is important for you to be comfortable while you’re in there. With this toilet, comfort shouldn’t be an issue since it is around the height of a chair. It may be a little strange for people that are on the shorter side, but it’s worth it since it won’t give you trouble when you’re trying to get up. When you pair this with the patented flushing mechanism, you have an item that is unlike many other products.

It has an attractive design and is easy to install in your bathroom as well. There are no reasons that should keep you from considering this toilet when you’re in the market for one, especially if you need one that will help save you money and won’t add any hassle to your life. You won’t have to worry about a plunger and you will not have to spend extra time flushing or cleaning, since it is coated and works the way it is supposed to.
