With the ever increasing cost of "city" water, we went looking for new toilets since our house has three of them. We settled on this model due to the Kohler brand and the Wellworth reputation. This model is replacing Mansfield #160, which is also 1.6Gpf. There are a number of 1.28Gpf models available, but we wanted something with 1.1Gpf for the light loads and 1.6Gpf for the heavy loads. Statistically speaking, over 80% of the time you really only need to use the 1.1Gpf mode, which will end up saving a bunch of water and ultimately money out of our pockets.
The installation was very easy to do and only requires a couple of basic tools. Just be sure that everything is tightened-up before turning on the water. We have no issues with the operation and the unit seems very well built. Since this toilet did not come with a seat, we paired it with a Bemis 600E3, which works perfectly.
Both the bowl and the tank came packaged separately and both were strap-tied to a pallet that was conveniently delivered by ABF to our door. The packaging was very, very good and there were no physical blemishes on either the bowl or the tank.
So far we are liking the toilet over all and are currently waiting for Amazon stock to replenish so that we can order two more.
