Did a search on "best" and returned lists composed almost entirely of
brands/manufacturers I've never heard of before -- all the old
standbys like Kohler, American Standard, Elger, ... nearly non-existent.

In my last house I had two Kohler, this house has two Kohler, we
renovated at work a few years back and put in 4 Kohler.Â* All are the
comfort height.Â* All work well.Â* Oh, visited a friend last month and she
put in four Kohler and has no complaints.

I think they all improved over some of the originals that you had to
triple flush.Â* Comfort height is very nice too as you get older.

I've heard some American Standard are very good too, just no personal
experience.Â* As you can imagine though, I'd not hesitate to use Kohler
again.

Used Kohler faucets too in four bathrooms and 1 kitchen.


That's another piece of the puzzle -- a 40 year old Delta and I replaced
the whole internals just a couple months ago and it still drips. Chrome
plating peeling; the countertop is going to be replaced, too, so it'll
also become history.

Any idea of specific Kohler toilet models? I'm looking for traditional
to go in old farmhouse, not some space age thing that would look totally
out of place.
