I expected better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this toilet installed for about 1 week and have a list of pros and cons. I am an experienced do-it-yourselfer and did the installation myself. FUNCTION: Overall, the toilet functions very well as a high efficiency/low flow toilet using only 1.28 gpf. For liquid waste and paper, a standard flush and release is all that is needed. For solid waste, most often, a flush and release does the job though you might be left wondering if it will be enough pressure to clear. The good news is that you have the option to hold the flush lever in the depressed position a little longer to increase the amount of water flow if you think you need more power. The initial flush uses about 1/3 => 1/2 the amount of water in the tank, so you do have extra on reserve. American Standard did well on the design of the in-tank wide mouth flapper and the extra wide jet port in the bowl to maximize flush velocity to clear waste. Having replaced many convoluted after market toilet flush valves and flappers in other toilets, I was pleased with the straight forward simplicity of the flapper design and function in this unit. SIZE/FIT: We chose the the round front version as our bathroom is small and we needed a compact unit to allow for clearance. Dimensions and fit are accurate and it fit very well within the tight space we have. There were no issues of interference with the tank being too close to the wall once the unit was centered over the floor drain. COMFORT: We are very happy with the 17" seat height of the unit. A noticeable improvement over our old one at 15". My wife says she loves the height and I agree. Where the seat loses some points is on security of plastic fasteners to the bowl. There is some sided to side shifting/play of the seat even though I have the supplied plastic hardware pieces securely tightened. Slow close lid is nice but not essential. INSTALLATION: I have installed several toilets, including this is one, which is now our second American Standard toilet currently in home. Installation was straight forward and took about 2 hours for removal of old unit and install of new. All hardware was included as well as the wax ring. It is advisable to replace the old supply line, shut-off valve and escutcheon plate when doing the toilet as those age and corrode over time. Those items are not included but are readily available at your home center store. The American Standard provided plastic twist socket makes for easy (almost tool-less) installation. You will need some basic tools to remove your old toilet and to secure new shut-off and supply line. I found a large straight slot screwdriver necessary to prevent plastic screw heads from turning while securing tank to bowl and seat to bowl. The included stainless steel ferrules to secure the toilet mounting bolts were helpful in keeping the bolts in the upright position while placing bowl over floor drain. Instructions are in the box inside the seat package. Easy to follow. QUALITY/ VALUE: This is where the toilet loses points. Too many plastic parts for a toilet at this price point. Our other American Standard toilet is the (high end) Esteem Vormax which is currently only $30 more than this one. We expected a similar level of quality with this unit but were disappointed that all the fasteners and the seat are plastic. My experience with plastic fasteners is that they easily strip and don't hold up over time. As mentioned in the "comfort section", I find the plastic seat hardware allows the seat to shift or slide sideways when we sit. Also, the seat lid is way to thin/flimsy to support my weight of 175 lbs when I sat on the closed lid to use a nail clipper. I will forgo the soft close feature and replace the cheap plastic seat with a real seat/lid and real metal hardware fasteners. As for the quality of the porcelain and tank mechanism, those appear to be in line with expectations. I'm not sure why American Standard would put such cheap downgrades on an otherwise nice toilet. I know the obvious answer is cost savings, but it takes a well designed and attractive unit for your home and turns it into something you would expect to find in a college apartment. Again, at this price point, that makes no sense.

    Sleek and efficient!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a shared laundry/bathroom space off the kitchen that gets a lot of use. We recently swapped out our old toilet for this one and it has really made a difference. It fits perfectly in this smaller area, is very efficient and sleek and stands up beautifully to the amount of use it gets.

          The American Standard tall height 2-peice high-efficiency elongated toilet is well made. I like the seat assembly with the soft close feature. It works well and prevents accidentally slamming of the lid. In my view what is considered tall height should become the standard height as it is far more comfortable to rise from a higher seated position. This toilet checks all the boxes when looking for a new or replacement unit in my opinion. Tall height, elongated shape, soft close feature, high-efficiency in flush operation.

          This toilet crowned the Champion!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We installed this Champion toilet a week ago and couldn’t be happier! I’ve never installed a toilet before and it was a snap to install! The instructions, while not really needed, provided enough detail to make the install ion go smoothly even for a rookie like me. The whole toilet seems smaller than what we replaced it with but we didn’t hade to sacrifice comfort. The seat is extremely comfortable and the slow close lid is perfect for kids who just let it fall making a loud crash. The toilet itself is quiet while it flushes and truly is a single flush to clear the bowl! We couldn’t be happier with this toilet and wouldn’t hesitate to replace other toilets in our house with another one.

            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replacing an older 4-5 gallon flush toilet. This is a basement toilet and so far has worked great. I would not hesitate to recommend this toilet!

                2 weeks old, out of order
                It was working fine for 2 weeks and now it keeps running. Adjusting the valve doesn't stop it from running. We watched many videos on fixing it and customer service and still keeps leaking. It has a lifetime warranty, but paying someone to install replacement parts and not being able to use this toilet is a big disappointment. I wish I would have bought another brand.

                Hello, Thank you for reaching out to the American Standard Consumer Connection Team.

                  THE AMERICAN STANDARD CHAMPION TALL HEIGHT 2-PIECE HIGH-EFFICIENCY 1.28 GPF SINGLE FLUSH ROUND FRONT TOILET IN WHITE SEAT INCLUDED COMES COMPLETE WITH ALL ITEMS NEEDED TO INSTALL. IT HAS A HIGHER HEIGHT THAN STANDARD SIZED TOILETS AND ALLOWS YOU TO SAVE WATER WITH ITS HIGH EFFICIENCY FLUSHING SYSTEM. IT WAS EASY TO INSTALL WITH STANDARD WATER HOSE FITTINGS, WAX RING, AND ALL NEEDED SEALS. IT ALSO COMES WITH THE SEAT AND ALL NEEDED HARDWARE. IT IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE CLOGS. I INSTALLED IT IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER REMOVING THE OLD TOILET AND PREPARING THE FLANGE TO SET THE TOILET. IT WORKED WELL WITH NO LEAKS ON THE FIRST FLUSH. A QUICK FLUSH USES LESS WATER AND HOLDING DOWN THE FLUSH FIXTURE ALLOWS FOR LARGER WASTE. I RECOMMEND THIS SYSTEM FOR BATHROOM UPGRADES.

                  Toilets seem to be getting better all the time and this one is Excellent. The porcelain coating is very smooth which keeps water rings from forming easily with just light cleaning. This high -efficiency toilet has a 4" flush valve that has the tank water whoosh down fast to remove bowl matter down the drain. The bowl also has a 2-3/8" inside diameter trap-way (internal drain line) which also helps things flow down the drain very fast. All using only 1.28 gallons per flush. It comes with everything to connect to the floor flange ( I do wish that the wax ring that come is a bit thicker but that depends on the type of flooring that you have). The tank installs very easily onto the bowl with special push down rubber washers around the pre-installed bolts & using the included attachment tool. The slow closing seat comes with all plastic hardware which will not corrode over time. This one is a round front bowl which helps ease of walking if doorway or cabinets are nearby. Now I just have to install a new tile floor before I install this toilet.

                  This is a very nice solid white Toilet comes as a complete kit. I got this unit for a spare bathroom that I am in the process of renovating. I really like the fact that everything you need to stall the toilet is included in the kit. This includes the seals , bolts and seat. The finish looks very nice And overall looks like a very nice toilet. It seems very well constructed and seems like it will last very long time. I've install many toilets over the years it's one of those jobs that is not complicated if you take your time and you can save yourself a lot of money as a homeowner. I would recommend this American standard toilet because it has all the necessary pieces to complete the job easily save yourself a bunch of money.

                  The American Standard Champion Tall Height toilet was easy enough for a DIYer to install. A slow close seat, all the guts inside the tank, a tool to install the tank, the wax ring and bolts were all included. The only things I needed were a wrench and a hose to connect to the water supply. The bolts are recommended to be 12" from the wall and mine was only 11 1/8" to the center of the drain so the tank is literally resting on the wall, but it doesn't seem to be a problem (thus far). The flush action is extremely strong while using less water. I can't see it ever clogging like the old one did constantly. Both the seat and cover close slowly which is a great feature. It's 16.5" tall not including the seat which puts it about an inch and half above the old one. Instructions were included and for someone who's never done this before I can say it was fairly easy. The only complaint is I thought the bowl would be a little larger in circumference, but it's about the same as the older model. Nevertheless, it is a vast improvement.

                  This came well packaged, even though box had a tear & creases in outer box, it was so well packed around the toilet, it was undamaged. It came with everything needed to install including seat & wax ring. It even came with a plastic socket tool to tighten the bolts. It is a well thought out design & love the slow close lid. I do have one problem & it may be fixable. The water coming from around the rim after a flush seems to be very low. I have had to flush a few times to get residue from sides or just below final water level. Perhaps there is an adjustment on the inner workings but have had no one here to see due to C19. It is a water saver unless you must flush several times to wash sides down. The flush is a rapid swish & I can see golf balls going down quickly but hopefully no one will actually try that. Still getting use to the way it flushes, not like my standard older toilets. 4 star would go to 5 if adjustment of inner workings could be made for stronger water fill from rim..

                  This came well packaged with cardboard so it's easier for recycling. The installation was pretty straight forward, but I did have a small issue with getting the tank to sit down completely. I removed the tank and then put some soap on the rubber seal and it installed easier. I had an issue with the ring that it connected to, of no fault of the toilet. The old ring was rusted out. Good news is that you can get a replacement split ring at Home Depot to replace it with. The toilet is 2 inches higher than the standard, which turns out to be a nice height. The seat and lid are self closing once you tip it towards closing, no slamming seats/lids. Some people may not like this feature, because it takes a minute or so to close. My wife isn't fond of how long it takes, but does appreciate the noiseless aspect of it. It does seem to have a robust flush to it and it is a low water usage toilet. It appears to flush better than our old one which used 3 times the water.

                  This two-piece American Standard tall height toilet was very easy to install. It came with everything needed which was very convenient. We installed the toilet in less than 30 minutes. I would recommend putting the tank on first before placing it though. Included was also a soft-close toilet seat which is a very nice feature. It has a strong and powerful flush as well. It also does not take up as much space on the floor as our old wanted which gives us better space for our trash can, plunger, and cleaning brush. I would definitely recommend this toilet.

                  This is a very nice toilet. It's one of the taller ones with a bowl height of 16 and 1/2 inches. The seat makes it about 17 inches. The height and the round bowl is perfect for my mother (whom I got it for) as she is a small woman with bad knees. It flushes very well and it's one of the new toilets that can flush things like golf balls so that'll be great not having to worry about clogs. Installation was easy. & my mom really likes it.

                  This American Standard Champion Tall height 2 pc high-efficiency toilet is a very fine item. The 1.28 gpf single flush element really work as advertised. The seat is elongated and works as a "slow close' with just a little push. Great if you have pets! Because we know how they love to play in toilets! It was very easy to install although I did have help with that. Plumbing is not quite "my thing" and it is a bit heavy to carry up to the second floor. The only reservation is that the "seat" is a bit "thin" and most folks would probably like to replace that at some point. But overall it's a yes from me.

                  This toilet is another fine product from American Standard. It has everything needed in a fairly basic model. It is the taller height model that most people want now, with the lower water consumption of 1.28 gallons per flush. It is important to save water whenever we can. The high efficiency flush also cleans the bowl better. The elongated bowl is the modern style in white. This box came with everything needed to install this toilet, including the wax ring and seat.

                  A TERRIFIC TALL TOILET FOR TALL PEOPLE! All my current toilets(installed in 1986) are made for short people. So this one had to be: tall, affordable, and stylish(as far as toilets go...). This one is two and half inches taller than the one I removed. Toilets are pretty simple and so am I but I do like a touch of class. It's been about 15 years since I've installed a toilet, and it's only been a handful that I've installed, so I was coming at this with some, but minimal, experience. Installing it was simple. It comes with everything except the water supply line. And everything it comes with is high-end and very well thought-out. The packaging was also well done, I must add. Usually my large stuff arrives damaged but this was solid and in good condition. I do love the fact that it came with a soft-close lid, too.

                  The American Standard Champion Tall Toilet arrived very well packed and padded. As I unpacked it, I liked the way it looked even before I installed it. I removed the old regular height toilet and got the area cleaned up and ready for the new one. The Champion Tall Toilet came with the wax ring and was already mounted to the plastic piece, so it made setting the base onto the screws much easier. Ince the screws were tightened, I installed the tank. The tank was complete with everything, including arm and chain, already assembled. Can't get much easier than that! Set the tank on the base and tightened it down, using the plastic tool that came with it to tighten the bolts. Fortunately I had opted to have a new water line on hand because although the one I had was pretty new, it would have been to short to connect to the higher tank. Once the water line was installed, I added the seat as the tank was filling. The Champion Tall Toilet says it will flush a bucket of golf balls. I'm not going to try that! It does use less water than the one it replaced. The seat and cover are light weight, but sturdy and comfortable. For anyone with a bad back, the higher seat is much better to use than the standard height. Both the seat and cover go down slowly (see video), no more slamming toilet seat or cover. The American Standard Champion Tall Toilet is very easy to install. It is very sturdy, has a really nice appearance, and is comfortable to use. This toilet is very well built. I would recommend this toilet to everyone, especially those with trouble bending or standing back up and those with back pain.

                  The AMERICAN STANDARD CHAMPION TALL HEIGHT 2-PIECE HIGH-EFFICIENCY 1.28 GPF SINGLE FLUSH ELONGATED TOILET IN WHITE comes with just about everything you need to install it, including a tool to tighten the nuts that hold the tank to the bowl. You will need a supply line (not included). The flush is an attractive fixture and it comes with a slow close toilet seat. The instructions are easy to follow and if you follow them you should not have a problem installing it your self. You do not need any tools other than what is provided with the toilet. All fasteners are hand tightened only. It does have a good powerful flush and although they advertise that it will flush a bucket of golf balls in one flush, I did not try to see if it would. The toilet is ADA compliant and I do recommend it as a good choice for an elongated toilet.

                  AMERICAN STANDARD CHAMPION Chair Height Toilet Being in our late 70's we were thinking if installing a taller toilet but was undecided an which kind or brand, I was given the choice of the American Standard Champion to try out for the Home Depot Seeds program. It is advertised to be able to flush a bucket of golf balls, which I'm not going to try. It fit our needs of being chair height, elongated bowl, and a complete kit with a wax ring and a soft close seat. I took out the old toilet and did the prep work for the new. Installed new brass bolts and wax ring on toilet base, set toilet base and tightened down and then the tank with sealing ring and bolts. Hooked new water supply line and turned on the water. Works great, install seat, DONE, except cleanup. We are very pleased with the flush, soft close seat and 1.28 GPF water usage. Note: water supply line not in kit.

                  The AMERICAN STANDARD CHAMPION TALL HEIGHT 2-PIECE HIGH-EFFICIENCY 1.28 GPF SINGLE FLUSH ELONGATED TOILET IN WHITE SEAT INCLUDED is a great product by American Standard. My product arrived undamaged and with easy to follow instructions. The toilet was very easy to install, especially with most of the hardware included. I was able to use the existing water supply line as well. They are really making it easy for the average homeowner to self install these products. I had to use a few wood shims to "level" the toilet-which I had previously purchased from my local Home Depot. We really enjoy the "chair height" feature of the toilet. It's much easier to get up and down from as you get "up in age". Great product American Standard!!

                  Much more comfortable than the old standard height toilets which it replaced. It comes with a wax ring and flange bolts especially made for this toilet so you do not need to purchase anything except silicone to seal the base and give it a "finished" look. It has to be assembled, the tank to the base and it also comes with a plastic, deep socket tool for those two nuts. Be careful not to over-tighten those as well as the flange nuts on the base. The installation was easy and the "slow-close" seat was also easy to install, THe instructions were ample and also there were instructions on adjusting the fill height too. I found that by setting the water fill height to about 1 inch below the overflow tube I got the best flush. Nice looking design and the white porcelain has a nice high gloss finish. All in all a great product from American Standard sold at The Home Depot.

                  Am Std Champion Tall Height single flush toilet is super efficient chair height and super compact. A very tiny half bath had been added to our laundry room - an unlikely place for a toilet but it's very convenient if you're working outside and don't want to track through the house. The existing toilet is the smallest and shortest toilet I've ever seen - we had long given up on an updated replacement. On a lark I measured the round front Champion 4 Max and was surprised it was compact enough to fit our space. A dry fit proved this toilet would fit our half bath perfectly and still allow for door swing. This makes three American Standard Champion Max 4 toilets for us. Even with single power flush we have not noticed an increase in our water bills. The dual flush toilets are nice but the water savings just isn’t there if you are flushing twice. The American Standard Max 4 is Water Sense certified and the tall height is perfect for us seniors. The included soft close seat is a nice feature, easy to install, fits securely to the toilet body and feels firm when seated. Overall, super easy to install. Includes the wax seal ring and everything you need to install except the water inlet line. With a refresh to the floor and wall paint, our tiny half bath now looks modern and crisp.

I didn't even realize until it was open that absolutely everything you need to install this toilet comes in one box and I do mean everything. I'm not going to call this an easy installation simply because of my bad knees and having to work on the ground, but in my younger days I could probably do this in about an hour. We have this toilet installed in our other two bathrooms and just flat love their performance of them and the water saving that goes along with this. have you seen the TV commercial where the little boy flushes a dozen golf balls down the toilet? That says it all about the quality of this American Standard toilet.

                  This is a great American Standard toilet for a small space. American Standard always makes great toilet and this is no exception. Everything you need for installation is included in the box from the bowl, tank, wax gasket and seat. It assembles the way every standard toilet does. It has dual flush from the top of the bowl and bottom of the bowl for a strong flush every time. Although it is a round front it is the tall height which most people prefer these day.
