Customer Reviews for KOHLER Kelston Elongated Toilet Bowl Only in White

After reading Consumer Reports and online reviews, we settled on this model. Very glad we did. When our house was built 20 years ago, two contractor-grade toilets were installed. They were ok at best, but required a good workout with a plunger a couple times a month. Two months since installation we have not been able to plug either one of them (and we've tried). The clearing of solid waste of this model is outstanding, and I expected that to make it noisier than our old toilet, but it didn't. We also liked the appearance of this model more than several of others, and we especially like the couple inches of extra height from the floor. It fit exactly where the old model was and all the holes lined up. We even left the old floor flange in place and reused it. If I EVER need another toilet, or recommend a toilet to a friend it will be THIS model. (Sorry, my wife said I may NOT submit a "photo of this product in action," so will forgo the "chance to win $1,000.")

The tank is designed with a hole under the front of the rim that jets out water. Problem is the water splashes out on the bowl rim and onto our new floor every time we flush so have to wipe the floor after each flush! Otherwise it flushes well waste down efficiently and quietly, as we would expect from the Kohler brand.

Solid performer

Toilet is attractive and comfortable. It does not always flush waste completely which is annoying because it was top rated by Consumer Reports for that feature.

Odered toilet on line for delivery to my local Home Depot store. It arrived in ~two weeks minus the toilet seat ! Toilet seat put on back order & still waiting for it. Toilet works fine with temporary seat.

I've purchased several of these. They are absolutely superb for preventing clogs. No need to have a plunger on hand. Unfortunately though these models don't wash the higher, front part of the bowl well. You have to keep a brush on hand so that you can keep that part of the bowl clean. Suggest your design needs to clean the upper front part of the bowl better when you flush. But, I DO keep buying them because of their no clog flush. It's also a shame that the toilet seat specifically made for this unit is so uncomfortable. I've had to purchase other toilet seat brands for better comfort, but unfortunately the colors don't match exactly. Suggest redesigning your toilet seats for this bowl so that they do not have the uncomfortable concave design. I am a thin person without much of my own "natural" padding. Your seats are clearly not built for me and with this bowl, the seat design is a problem.

Bought three of them based on Consumers reports rating. The ratings can be trusted. Comfort height works well. The low volume flush is quiet and removes solid waste leaving a clean bowl. Be careful reading reviews: removing waste is not the same as leaving a clean bowl. This toilet does both.
