Has anyone had an issue with the dual flush mechanism on this toilet? To hard to push? Mechanical failure? The reason I ask is I retrofitted another brand with a dual flush mechanism and it turned out to be to hard to push to get it to flush, so I had...

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

if you've installed toilets before, not difficult. Toto has full instructions: http://assets.totousa.com/product-files/0GU031_DUAL_FLUSH_TOILET_IM.pdf

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.

This unit comes with a different type of mechanism for flushing. I bought the "lever" type of flush instead of the "button" type of flush. It would be difficult to modify because the lever is attached to a cable (similar to a bicycle hand brake cable) that activates the flush. (Pull up for small flush, push down for big flush). I assume that you could change the look of the lever using a special made oil rubbed bronze colored plastic cover that would slip over top of it (a difficult task in my opinion but do-able). The unit works well and is worth every penny.

If you are referring to the type of unit that senses when to flush when someone gets up....I am not sure. My unit is in storage at this time, so I can't measure the height of the seat (the thicknes) for you..... But.....if your unit has a manual switch, there should be no problem as long as you have a toilet base that is oval in shape and has two holes that the old toilet seat used to be fastened to the actual toilet bowl. This unit just needs two holes for the long nuts and bolts that you use to fasten it down after you place your 'old' toilet seat on top of this riser. All fastens down with the nuts and bolts that go through the same holes as your normal toilet seat which is, now, going to sit on top of this unit when all is fastened in place. The thickness of all may cause any sensor to be unable to sense anything but that override switch would be the way to flush with this unit in place..... I am guessing that is what you are referring to......a toilet with flushing sensors being unable to sense when to flush with this unit or any unit on top of the normal toilet height.....

I have 4 of those toilets in my house. Only one of them make a lot of moise when flushed. And that's because in is the only toilet that I've had to replace the float valve. The other three are operating quite nicely. I asked that the flush valve be replaced and it works fine now.

I've only had the toilet for 4 months but no issues with it being easy to clean. Well water with a softener so that may help make it stay clean. Overall I'd recommend this toilet to everybody. It performs like a champ and it's amazing how little water it uses.

Generally speaking this toilet flushes cleanly and completely. However, I must admit that if one is "sick," sometimes particles up high on the sides may not be reached. But this is a very rare occurrence. It is certainly much cleaner after each flush than any other toilet I have used... including POWER flush toilets. I have been using one for about 5 years now and liked it so much that I bought two more for my other bathrooms. Recommendation: Be cure to purchase the model with the Sani-gloss coating. It helps keep it clean longer. I also recommend the ELONGATED, regardless of a person's size. Good luck. Tom Generally speaking this toilet flushes cleanly and completely.

I had no problem. Don't know if you had bad fitting or simply over tightened. I had normal supply tube fittings on my toilet.

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.

We've had these toilets for over a year and we had the same clogging problem with our old toilets (American standard-whatever models original builder installed). We've had no problems with them and love them! Also, it does not splash water out of toilet when u flush.

I hired a professional plumber to install it! If you are gonna lay that much for the toilet I recommend having it installed by a professional! We love it!!

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

I would say it's broken too. I'm on my second one of these (someone else shattered the first one against the toilet) have never had any problems with them at all.
