Fantastic FlusherAugust 10, 2010 KAC453(Thomasville, NC USA) Six months ago we replaced an unfixable leaking pressure assist toilet with the Champion at our plumber's recommendation. My wife and I are both arthritic and he said the added height would make it far easier for us to get on and off it and would make it far more comfortable to use. He also told us it flushes better than any other 1 1/2 gallon flush toilet he has installed. He was definitely correct. The toilet flushes far better than our pressure assist or 3 1/2 gallon flush toilets. It is very quiet flushing and filling. It essentially never needs more than one flush (a great water saver), has never plugged, and the added height makes it far easier to get on and off whether you are arthritic or not.
cons: 1. the bowl is shaped so that it is slightly longer than what was standard length in the past. To fit it to the existing flange in our bathroom (very difficult to move as the floor is tiled and set in concrete) we had to cut away the full thickness of the baseboard directly behind the bowl. I suggest you check the distance from the flange to the wall in your bathroom and compare it to the measurement of that distance on the Champion bowl. 2. Not all toilet seats will fit; if they are thick such as many wood seats, the top will not stay up on its own and needs to be held up. Buy a seat that is made for the Champion. There are several styles of tanks for the Champion, so the seat problem may be tank style dependent. We had to replace our seat. 3. In spite of the height being great for older children and adults, it is too high for our young grandchildren, particularly the boys. We kept one very low toilet in our house just for that reason. If the extended height Champion is the only toilet you have, make sure you have a small pair of steps if it will be used by small children.
In spite of the above cons, I still feel the pros are so overwhelming that I rated the Champion at 5 stars and highly recommend it.

i have been looking at these on amazon. noticed the price went up substantially for the colored toilets. did anyone notice this. seems the prices were raised after being reviewed on consumer reports
BAD HandleJuly 1, 2010 Q. Wang(Logan, UT) I bought this toilet locally. Everything is OK except the flushing lever. It's terribly small and awkward, making it difficult to activate the flush. I recommend buying a replacement for that... looking here for one now...
Not as great as I expected, but still recommendedJune 17, 2010 Docwazoo(Turnersville, NJ) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm serious about doing research on just about anything that I buy, so when I wanted a new toilet, I started with Consumer Reports and then searched out various internet reviews. After deciding on this model, I checked stores and the internet, and purchased it from Amazon. I've had good luck from there, and the price was very good, especially with free shipping. The Amazon experience was perfect; easy, shipped quickly, no problems whatsoever.
As in other reviews, the toilet tank does rock a bit if you lean against it, which is slightly unnerving. I made sure that I told the plumber about this, and he was extra careful putting it together. Still moves. It doesn't leak though, so I can live with that. The added height of the toilet is definitely not for everyone. DON'T get it if you're short, unless you want to dangle your legs. As advertised, it does not come with a seat (What's up with that?). As the typical seat goes from $20-60, that needs to be taken into account when purchasing. The BIGGEST disappointment is the handle. This is the worst, cheapest piece of plastic garbage that I've ever seen, and needs to be replaced immediately, if not sooner. So, why am I recommending it? Because it CERTAINLY flushes as advertised. A flush takes about 2-3 seconds, there is nothing left, it cleans the bowl well, is pretty quiet, and does not clog. This alone makes up for any negatives.
Flushes almost anything my kid can throw at it...May 12, 2010 Jack Black(USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had an old toilet in my house that would occasionally need plunging after it got clogged, especially when my kids used it.
As it was a guest bathroom, I was constantly in fear of the it overflowing or clogging when I wasn't around.
So, I after much research on the internet, we bought one of these Champion toilets from Home Depot.
1. In two years, NOT ONE clogged toilet!!!!
2. It's got a louder flush than a standard toilet, but it's totally worth it. (if it was quieter, i'd give it 5 stars)
3. I had to return the first one I bought because it leaked, but I returned it right away and the second one I got was perfect. I'm slowly going to replace my other toilets with this model.
Conclusion: No more clogged toilets with this one!
