Worst design toilet seat.

SO ANNOUNCED! This Kohler one-piece toilet is the dumbest idiotic design I've ever seen. I'm a property manager. I've seen, replaced, repaired more toilet seats than I can count. But this toilet is annoying. Finally find that toilet seat fastener kit (which should be the easiest damn problem to solve) and one of the anchors will break in the cavity. again. And apparently 11/32 anchors are not seen often, at least not in my area. I'm so mad at this toilet seat. Kohler, come on. If I could give…

This design is a crime against humanity

Just spent two hours removing a broken toilet seat, the anchor holding tool is a joke made out of thin metal that bends so easily it doesn't do anything. hold anchor. If the house didn't have this toilet I'd rather buy a brand new toilet to avoid a damn disappointment. Oh, and see, the manual basically says if the tool doesn't work, try pliers to get the screw out. I lift a lot of weights and I'll never get that bolt out for the rest of my life. I actually started lifting the toilet so I tried…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Quality

Shame - bracket

The entire toilet this part took is the worst design I have ever had the misfortune to come across. This tool is needed because of the crazy system where you can't access the bottom 0 seat screw so you have to use a jackscrew. You only need this product because the previous seat bolts failed and it is almost impossible to remove these bolts. In the end I managed to cut with a hacksaw, but then you still have to drill out the old fitting. After removing the old screws, proceed to install new…

Perfect for bolt anchors

I don't get bad reviews for the poor design this set manages to keep. It's not the kit's fault; This is Kolera. Is that bad design? Yes, that's right. There are some better solutions that anyone can easily spot, but since new toilets cost around $750 if you already have one, it's a lot more cost-effective to just fix it than to buy something with a better design. The functionality of the toilet is great; only the attachment of the seat leaves a lot to be desired. I found this kit to work great…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Upgrade available

This is only needed for Kohler One Piece toilets where you can't access the screws from below, which hold the toilet seat in place because it is in a cavity with only one hole at the top - the hole where the screw goes. Don't make me start with an idiotic design. For about $25 you can get a tool, old anchor nuts, tools to install new anchor nuts, and two anchor nuts. At Revain, you can buy nuts for $9 each (you need 2, which costs $18). Or pay a few bucks more and get the tools. I didn't need a

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific

  • I'll add later

Kohler design leaves something to be desired

If I could give zero stars, I would! I am a 73 year old, 145 lb female who, after several attempts, was willing to pull her hair out with the help of my 19 year old football playing grandson who is 235 lbs and 6ft 4ft tall I unsuccessfully removed a peeled metal anchor bolt from my Kohler Persuade (plain wall) toilet bowl. I even contacted Kohler customer service and they suggested I buy the #84999 Kohler anchor kit for about $30. Although this kit included the necessary replacement anchor bolt

Pros
  • Clasps
Cons
  • Available in white only

Awkward solution to awkward toilet design

Quite rightly so, and as many here have pointed out, if this series of Kohler toilets (which I thought ran out last time) were 50 different, this replacement set wouldn't exist Types same uses stupid seat mount design) would have been better designed. Make two holes in the toilet to secure the seat and DO NOT PROVIDE DOWN ACCESS OR ANY WAY TO THE HOLE TO DRAIN INTO THESE LIQUIDS, THIS IS NOT A GOOD DESIGN, COOLER! If you have owned one of these types of toilets for more than 5 years. You may…

Pros
  • Anchor
Cons
  • Expensive
