Great looking, but the flow is too low and insufficient for consistent cleaning.

Hi HomeDepotCustomer, this is Sarah with Kohler Co. I am sorry to hear about your disappointment with the water consumption on your San Souci toilet. We would like to make a few suggestions that we feel will help to improve the cleanliness of your flush. 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. Additional details regarding the tube location can be found here: https://bit.ly/2UkB8a9. Should you need additional assistance, please contact our Customer Service team at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. We are glad to help! Kindly, Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

The lines of the toilet are sharper so the toilet overall looks more modern than Kohler’s previous iterations of low-tank height toilets. The reason for the average rating is because of the toilet seat that comes with it. It comes with the Reveal series seat, which in my opinion is poorly designed. When the lid is down, there is no good way to lift up both the lid and the seat in one motion. The lid completely conceals the seat, and the seat sits within the top edge of the toilet rim, so there is no access to the seat when the lid is down. So to lift up both the lid and seat, one must either wedge their fingers under the seat (between the seat and raw edge of the toilet rim) thereby having to touch the raw edge of the toilet rim (gross), or do it in two motions — lift up the lid, and then reach down again and lift up the seat using its inner edge. I really don’t understand how Kohler did not consider this use case. As a male who has to lift up both the lid and seat to go #1, this toilet seat is a non-starter for me. Definitely going to have to get another seat to replace it.

Hi Good toilet but the Reve, this is Sarah with Kohler Co. I am very sorry to hear you are not completely satisfied with the Reveal toilet seat included with your San Souci toilet. Hi Yasmina, this is Sarah with Kohler Co. I'm very sorry to hear you are not completely satisfied your Reveal toilet seat. We put a lot of thought into our products, so this is disappointing to hear. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. This seat is designed with an overhanging lid which completely conceals the seat ring, creating a sleek, unified appearance. This unique design feature requires the ring of the seat to be slightly smaller than the lid, so that it can be enclosed, when the lid is closed. Please email our Customer Service team directly at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com for additional assistance. Thank you. -Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

TOILET DOESN'T FLUSH PROPERLY EVEN WITH ADJUSTMENTS AND SOMETIMES IT CONTINUOUSLY RUNS

Hi Charles, this is Sarah with Kohler Customer Service. I'm sorry to hear your San Souci toilet is not flushing properly. I would love to share a few suggestions to ensure your toilet tank is able to provide adequate flushing power. 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. Additional details regarding the tube location can be found here: https://bit.ly/2UkB8a9. Due to your toilet sporadically running, we recommend performing a water test. Please follow this link for an explanation on how to perform this test: http://goo.gl/CBgTCT. Please email our Customer Service team directly at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com with the results. We look forward to helping you soon!. -Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

Nice looking toilet. Box was in bad shape when I picked it up and open. No toilet bolts and no wax ring.

I love it. Beautiful and modern design, was easy to install. I really wanted a 1.6 GPF but couldn’t find it in something small enough for my powder room but no issues with the 1.28.

Love this!
Love this! Love the color. It’s a very deep grey and sets off my light grey bathroom. It’s also very efficient especially compared to what I had.

I do have to say that I hate the toilet seat. Kohler tried to make it seem as if they came up with a newer better update for the seat. They went backwards not forward. I'd ask them why they would make it so that when one is lifting the lid the seat can accidentally be grabbed with it. Even the thought of that is unhygienic not to mention very annoying. If the toilet set can be replaced for me with another I'd be grateful. Really it was foolishness on Kohler to put out this kind of seat.

I have a small bathroom. The door would not completely open with the old toilet. It opens with this one ! Perfect fit!

Order came within an estimated time period and the packaging was excellent. This was a great fit for our smallest guest bathroom. Soft close seat is a great option. Flushing lever is somewhat wobbly and it feels like it will fall of :) toilet has compact shape and I love a look of the skirt less design.

So far it is working just fine, unlike the old one which could not be kept from running all the time no matter how hard my plumber tried. It's not as pretty as the old design and I was really sorry not only not to be able to get the old darker almond color but to have to pay so much even for the biscuit, but that's the price of being so fussy, I guess.

Quality is not what it use to be
Toilet only came with 1 bolt cover, toilet flusher does not work you can flush but it will not go back up called a customer service again and they have to send out replacement parts for a brand new toilet. I pay a plumber to do this work so now for a 2nd time I have to pay a plumber because of Kohler’s lack of quality that they are now making their products with.

Purchased this item for a complete bathroom remodel. Very happy with the ease of installation. With the increased height, it is much easier to sit down and get up off of the seat. The improved flushing system works well - no problems with clogs. The full skirt around the outside makes for easier cleaning.

The bowl is kind of small and it looks less aesthetic than the old Kohler that I was replacing out. For the price it is not worth it. I would get a Toto instead.
