🚽 Bemis 730SLEC Round Plastic Toilet: A Stylish and Durable Bathroom Essential Review

This one is lighter than I expected. I have another Bemis slow closing lid on another toilet and thought this would be what I was buying. There's nothing wrong with that and there's nothing wrong with that. It just isn't as substantial as the other, and sometimes it needs a nudge for it to start closing. I think the other one was just a more expensive model. This is also a toilet seat 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

On the other hand, good quality plastic. However, the plastic on the lid is thin enough and unreliable enough that you don't want to step on it to get something high up on the first-aid kit. The hinges are junk (plastic), neither the lid nor the seat itself stays in place. I think a good wooden seat with metal hinges can be bought for less money. In fact, I replaced that seat with one! I'm going to donate my nearly new seat to the "Restoration" people.

I bought these because there was a regular seat when I had a plumber install a new toilet. This is the second slow closing Bemis seat I've had and if I knew how flimsy they made it I'd take the old one off the toilet we replaced. Not as good as the US standard slow close seat I have in the powder room. The seat is easy to install and easy to remove for cleaning. Just don't plan on standing on it.

I ordered two of these. Both came in a large flat box. At autopsy, one was delivered damaged, with a large nick on the edge of the seat, and no one was to blame except those who packed the shipment. Another came with a manufacturing defect, including a broken hinged lid on the left side and the lid closing under its own weight. I've had good luck with Bemis products in the past, but not this time.

One aspect that was important to me was the actual bumpers at the seat base. My current seat has rubber bumpers that prevent the seat from sliding on the harness, an issue I've had with other toilet seats in the past. The listing mentions "RING BUMPERS: four-color bumpers" but they are very thin strips of the same plastic as the seat. At the risk of sounding pedantic, the word "bumper" implies something cushioning or cushioning, which they certainly are not. Other than that, it looks like a…

Failed to load media. ADDED: Video of the seat going down terribly slowly. UPDATE: It closes very slowly. You have to wait a long time for the hydraulic folding of the seat. And that's the critical moment, so to speak, when it has to close faster. This. I like closing the lid before rinsing, but I don't like waiting for it to close automatically. So you have to click on him to help him down faster so your time is not wasted. Heavier models close faster and are therefore preferred. I realize…
