I thought a brand new Kohler toilet would work perfectly well. However, it runs just like the old Kohler which was 20 years old. The ProReferral plumber, who I rated with 5 stars, said some of the parts from the factory were defective but it was too late and inconvenient for me to do anything about it. So the plumber continued with installation and fixed it. But a few weeks later, I will have to have him come back for a service call to make more adjustments. It seems to take the tank longer to refill too. Not good.

Dr Darnell, my name is Jessica with Kohler Customer Service. I am sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your Highline toilet. We put a lot of thought into our products, so it is unfortunate whenever we do not meet a customer's expectations. If the tank is taking longer to refill than is should it is recommended to make sure that the water supply is turned on enough and that the fill valve is flushed out; there can be debris that gets into the fill valve and it will cause the toilet to take longer to refill or not refill at all. The following link is to an instructional video showing how to flush out the valve: https://bit.ly/3jHPtXT. If the issue continues, please contact our Customer Service team at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com for a replacement fill valve. We look forward to helping you soon. - Jessica P. Kohler Customer Service.

      I recently purchased this toilet seat from Home Depot, and unfortunately, it's been a disappointing experience. While the toilet itself is comfortable and performs well, the design and packaging have significant issues. The curvy design of the toilet seat is stylish, but it's also problematic. The bidet spray doesn't stay in place and often hits the flush knob, causing constant flushing and wasting water. This is not only frustrating but also wasteful. Moreover, the flush knob itself is loosely attached, making it uncomfortable to use and contributing to the constant flushing issue. To make matters worse, the toilet seat arrived with scratches on the surface. While they don't affect the functionality, it's disappointing to receive a damaged product. Overall, I'm disappointed in this product due to its design and packaging issues. While it has some good qualities, the problems outweigh the benefits. I hope the manufacturer takes these suggestions into consideration to improve the product. Until then, I would caution others against purchasing this toilet seat.

        Buyer Beware
        Serious design flaws with this toilet and manufacturing defects.One of the tank hoses was spraying water everywhere. The tank assembly is not the best design. User cannot gage how tight the bolts to the toilet should be. Tank was somewhat wobbly even when tightening. The problem is that the tank sits on these thick rubber gaskets that give the tank a feeling of instability with the user not knowing how tight the tank bolts should be. Needless to say the toilet base broke from "over tightening".

        DoItYourselfHomeOwner, my name is Jessica with Kohler Customer Service. I'm sorry to see you aren't completely satisfied with your Kohler product. When installing the tank, the bolts should be tightened 1/4 turn past hand tight to ensure the bolts are not overtightened. We would like to connect with you to learn more about your experience. Please contact our Customer Service team at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. We look forward to hearing from you soon. - Jessica P. Kohler Customer Service.

          Great toilet with quality features
          Been reading so many bad reviews from complainers and probably under-skilled, amateur installers on this thread. If the toilet arrived broken, it's not Kohlers fault. Obviously they don't ship faulty products. My guess is that some people who cut corners are throwing these around at the big box locations or on site. My box came perfectly packed with zero issues. The toilet seat is a no-slam, gentle-down seat. Very thoughtful and effective. I'm 6'2" and the toilet feels perfectly sized.

            Taller than product measurements
            Hate this toilet! Way too tall. Specs say it is 16.5 inches from floor to bowl but it is actually 17 inches tall without seat! How do they make a mistake on the specs?? The bowl looks oversized for the tank looks ridiculous. Horrible design. Extremely disappointed. Don’t recommend.

              The seat is useless and was damaged out of box
              Do not buy. Bought two of these and the first one came damaged - big gouge taken out of the seat from the factory. Installed anyways ( as did not notice until after the bowl was installed). Then the thing would not stay on - has a VERY cheap style of attaching. I complained to Kohler and they seemed annoyed at best. Really kind of rude. Done with Kohler altogether and disappointed that Home Depot sold me this defective product.

                My contracor purchased Kohler relying on its reputation and reasonable price. However, It is leaking from day number one. I realized that when everything was installed and sealed. Now I have to pay insane water bills. Poor quality. Very dissatisfied .

                PaulWolf, my name is Jessica with Kohler Customer Service. I am sorry to hear your Highline toilet is not functioning as it should. The chain connecting to the trip lever should be taut. If there is any slack, it should be tightened to remove the slack. The water level can also be checked. The water level in the tank should be at the water line which is marked on the inside back wall of the tank or on the flush valve. The refill tube can be checked as well. It should be connected at both ends connecting the fill valve to the center of the canister valve. If either end is disconnected, it should be pushed back into place. If the issue continues, please contact our Customer Service team at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. We look forward to hearing from you soon. - Jessica P. Kohler Customer Service.

                  When my contractor was able to open the box, it was damaged and pictures to show. The entire thing is cracked and broken. Had to order another one online to have same-day delivery for installation of new toilet. Hopefully this new one is not damaged. I want my delivery charged reversed.

                    Plumbing faulty upon delivery
                    We bought this toilet at Home Depot. Got it home and kissed and constantly flowed, and we found that the original part was installed poorly. However, Home Depot won’t resolve this because I have to talk with a manufacturer and for brand new toilet that I bought, had to call plumber out for repair, and buy a $20 part. Was wrong when it was installed from the manufacture… Bad service, bad product.

                    Hi SAKJ, this is Sarah with Kohler Customer Service. We are very sorry to hear the fill valve in your new Highline toilet did not work properly upon installation. This is most likely caused by debris that has gone through your water line and has gotten stuck in the fill valve. It can happen after a new toilet is installed or the water is shut off to the toilet for an extended period of time. It can also occur if there is any sediment that has gone through the water line. We would suggest flushing out the fill valve if this occurs in the future. To view an instructional video explaining how this can be done, please follow this link: https://youtu.be/oD0HETCc-OQ. Should you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate contacting our team directly by emailing KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. Kindly, Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

                      Poor workmanship
                      The tank had a hairline crack down one side, allowing water to leak through. Box undamaged, so was obviously poor quality in manufacturing. Did not notice crack before installing, so had to remove and reinstall old toilet.

                          Our go-to toilet for rental units!
                          We've replaced several old toilets for tenants in the past year, and keep coming back to this model as everyone seems to really like it. Comfort height is a big plus, as is the slow-close lid. Flush is nice and strong. Plus it's just a good-looking toilet! Install is straightforward - consider getting an extra wax ring, as we've had 2 not set fully with just one ring. Will keep coming back to this unit - it's a winner!

                              Thought it was good, was wrong
                              Got this elongated version to accommodate a bidet. I have installed many toilets and never had a leak. So this surprised me. Just a little water in front of unit. Cleaned it up and checked hose, tank fitting and blamed it on kids. Happened again, took all apart after carefully draining all the water. It is leaking in the “chamber “ in front of bowl. It’s about 6” in front of waste connection. Back to store. Not sure I’ll get the same one.

                                Toilet upgrade!
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had replaced the toilets in 2 of our other bathrooms with Kohler toilets and still needed to replace the one in our primary bathroom. To say I was beyond excited to receive this toilet ( in exchange for my honest review) is an understatement! To my delight, this is the step up from the Kohlers that we already have and love. The seat is comfortable to sit on and is easily removable for cleaning. The quiet close close lid is also a nice touch. The rim under the seat seems to be designed for easy cleaning….no hard to reach crevices. Seems to be able to handle quite a bit of toilet paper in each flush without clogging. The flush itself is pretty loud but quick. I love it and am so grateful to have received this!

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a really nice toilet! It is is really easy to install with instructions and fits perfectly. I love the fact that it has a slow close toilet to keep from slamming shut. The toilet is also just the right height and fills with jibe right amount of water to help keep clean. The seat is comfortable and I would definitely recommend it.

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The elongated bowl makes it easier for coverage when sitting that long sitting feeling where your butt gets numb is no longer there. The chair height is also taller so this helps with sitting and standing easier. Definitely love this more than the toilet that I had existing the sleek look and design upgrades, the bathroom without even trying, highly recommend the highline arc 10 inch Ruffin elongated bowl really is Kohler‘s best selling toilet family number one

                                      So glad I made the upgrade to this chair height toilet. The standard size that we had was over 30 years old and still going strong. However, my back couldn't take it being so low to the ground. So I upgraded . I installed this new chair height toilet approximately 2 weeks ago and am glad I did. No leaks, No cracks. Just easier to get on and off the throne. Flushes easily .

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to have this installed after I received it complimentary! I think it has a beautiful design and I love the elongated seat, the one I had previously was small and rounded. After installation, I noticed it didn’t seem to flush great. My old one was about 15 years old or so and seemed to flush better. I will say it seems to use less water.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Highline Arc by Koehler is a very stylish and sophisticated little toilet. We like that the tank is shaped very stylishly and looks very fashionable. We added a simple bidet to make it even more effective. The tank is a water efficient tank. The kit came with everything you need to install including a wax ring. My husband said it was simple to install and took less than an hour.
