Has anyone had an issue with the dual flush mechanism on this toilet? To hard to push? Mechanical failure?

This has the most powerful flush, with no effort to push. Don't know how they did it with so little water, works just as they said.

No. Got it for our grown children. Our son-in-law installed it and they love it.

I have had this toilet for about one year and have never had a problem of any kind with it.

No problems yet. We bought two of these in June. Both are functioning fine.

I've had no problems at all---works like a charm. I love it. Now, I'm amazed at how long other toilets take to flush---all that water gone. But, mine is used with the American Standard toilet--don't know why that would make a retrofitted not work right, though. Maybe you just got a bad one.

The buttons are very easy to push with one finger. I have two of these toilets and have not had any mechanical issues.

We have had this toilet almost a year and have not had any problems at all. Both flush levels are entirely effective. Best toilet ever!!!!!!!

Mine is doing the same thing but it's under warrenty and I have sent it back twice now to be fixed , I got it back this past Friday and it still doesn't work they said they replaced the top housing where the flappers open and shut on top they allow it to go forward and reverse. This must be a big problem ugh

Well, Kenneth, until just tonight, I had never heard of the Toto-brand. So, with that said, I spent about 20 minutes online watching video on the Toto website. I see that the toilet is designed like any other toilet; except, it may be more efficient. I also notice the hole in the Toto toilet is just like the hole in my toilet. I see no reason why this plunger would not work on a Toto toilet. When I ordered and received the Neiko patented plunger, it appears to be just like any other plunger, actually. However, it has never lost it's suction power. I rent a duplex and I and my 17-year-old son have lived here since 2009. We have to plunger our toilet about one time a week because the landlord discovered that there is a curve underground, so to speak, that doesn't let all the waste go down. The Neiko plunger is about the fourth plunger I've had and it appears to be the last one that I'll ever need. I feel very confident with this plunger. For the cost, it's worth purchasing just to have in case you EVER need a plunger. I hope this answers your question. Really, you have nothing to lose.

Make sure the new flapper is centered up on the edge of the flush valve so it closes. Second run your finger around this ede to see if you can feel any depressions in it. If you do then it neew to be renewed or repaired. Check that the chain is not tooo lose on the flapper and is occasionally getting caught or not letting the flapper to seat tight. The chain also could be too tight and not allow a good seal either. Good luck.

I have a Kohler low-flow toilet with an oval opening, and it's the only thing that worked on our toilet. I don't know what happened, we had a lot of people over that night, but we ended up with a toilet that I just could not unclog. I tried three different types of plungers, several times daily, over the course of a week, and finally ordered this one on Amazon. Within 30 seconds, my toilet was flushing great again!

I had the same question, however, the toilet clogged was downhill from my Master, so I put the Roebic solution in the Master toilet as the instructions said to flush the solution into the toilet & I could not flush that other toilet.

I have just purchased the toilet and installed lately, have not thought about replacing yet. Try direct to Thetford, or my last toilet I went to home depot and bought an elongated seat. A slight medication and it worked. That's all I can offer. Bud

I replaced the toilet, so the Bemis no longer fit. I actually gave it to someone else who wanted it. Before that, I cleaned it with Clorox to ensure it was completely clean. It did not appear to cause any type of damage or discoloration. This is anecdotal evidence and not a scientific experiment, but it was not a problem for me.

I agree with the other responders. it flushes as long as the pedal is depressed. I also agree that it is not the best toilet to get. Thetford also makes a similar model that has a china bowl. I got this one by mistake.

Not sure how to answer this. Could be toilet is not level, therefore causing this to happen. Have you tried to put it clear up and "hold" it for a second or two? Seems like this happened with my first one of these (this is my second purchase of this toilet seat and I LOVE mine) and we had to do this for a little while after we installed it--almost like it needed to be trained!! Try it -- can't hurt!

This is our second American Standard Champion 4 toilet. We installed the first one about 6 years ago and have been very pleased with it. We installed our second one a few months ago. It is somewhat different in the way it flushes though. The shape of the flush holes at the bottom of the bowls are different (original is round vs square on the new one) and the new one sometimes has to be flushed twice to clear the bowl. We have never had to flush twice on the older one. Overall we like them both compared to our third toilet which is a fairly new Kohler Highline. We do not recommend the Kohler.

With ours, which we just received 1/25/14, it "flushed" fine, but in the back there is a removable panel with a wire and connector. We had to attach the connector to activate the "sings when wet" feature. I imagine they did that to address the problems some experienced with it singing randomly (so people can deactivate it if it was annoying or scared anyone).

Without even checking there are two watchouts... the flush buttons are on the top (I personally would be frustrated every time I would have to negotiate my fingers to flush the toilet in such a tight gap and #2 you really should have easy access to the toilet basin in case you need to access a leak or malfunctioning flush mechanism...and if you are positioning this under a shelf, unless it is resting on pins, will impede your ability to lift the lid on that tank. It is a great toilet and does exactly what it says about the power of the flush and the cost savings. I am looking to replace my other two toilets with the very same unit based on its quality.

Hi Leon, it wasn't that difficult. If my memory serves me correctly (it was over a year ago I replaced this part) the directions were either included with the part or I got them from the toilet manufacturer website. I think it may have been the latter.I do know is was more difficult working around the small area the toilet is located in the bathroom.

WOW-yes I do, I really had to look. I wonder what that is all about. I love the seat, works great. I have them on my other toilets, but I bought them somewhere else and paid around 90 for each. I have had mine for a few months now. Keep me posted as to what you do. I will contact the seller myself....Thanks

I can't help you on this one. I was replacing most of the mechanism and the floor seal so I had to pull the toilet. Thinking back on it I suspect that was easier than trying to reach all the screws with the toilet in place.

All I can tell you is that it is a well built tool. It is much better then the flimsy type sold for less money. It has enough reach to navigate through toilet and unstop a regular log jam but I do try to break it up with a small stick before flushing toilet. I feel it is a good tool to have just in case. My suggestion to you is to make the investment and try it even if toilet is flushing now. You might fish up something that is just hanging in there causing some of your problems. I can not tell you it will fix your problem but I can say it works for me on my 1976 Kohler toilet. Buy it and try it you never know what you will catch or release. If you do get a log jam to unclog get yourself a small stick around 1"X1"X2'. Have a bucket ready to pour water into toilet and try to flush. If you are lucky it will flush without having to use tool. If you are not lucky you will need toilet auger to clear the obstruction and bucket to carry out tool to clean outside of house. I use the water hose to clean off tool after using it to release logs. Believe me high pressure water makes cleanup easier. Good luck with your clogs hope my comments were helpful.
