My two Duravit Starck 2/Happy D toilets have turned me into a full-time toilet scrubber. Any suggestions before I replace them?
The problems:
- Fecalpheliac bowls. "Matter" seems to stick tenaciously on the bowl.
I must scrub the bowl after each and every usage. - Poor flushing. I must flush two and sometimes three times to clear
the bowl. So much for "lo flush" water conservation. - Long refill times. One toilet takes 90 seconds.
What I've done:
- Cleaned the fill lines and filters.
- Adjusted and re-adjusted the fill levels in the tank.
- Had a plumber examine the bowls. He said "It's a shame – they're so expensive."
- Asked my Duravit supplier. Their answer: "Most Europeans use a scrub
brush." - Written scathing "Happy D" reviews – "SAVE YOURSELVES! It's too late
for me!"
In short: Pretty to look at. Awful to use.

I do not know anything about your toilet, but I have 2 types in my house. I have 2 Kohler Cimarron 2 model K4421 which are great and a new American Standard Champion 4 max just recently installed. The American Standard is supposed to be able to flush a bucket of golf balls. Don't tell my p..p that. It doesn't always go down completely. I would choose the Kohler. Also we use " never scrub " cartridges to help keep the bowl clean.
