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!

The toilet I received was exactly what I ordered. It was shipped promptly and I was called in advance by the freight carrier to arrange a specific date and time for delivery. All went flawlessly.

I remodeled my bathroom and wanted a toilet that would not clog. I had a colored toliet in my old bathroom and wanted a white one in my new bathroom, so I was forced to buy a new one. I was disappointed in the new toilets because they are all water efficient and there flushes are very poor. I did a little research and watched the videos through American Standard and considered buying this toilet. I went to Home Depot and was looking at toilets to pick which one to buy. While I was looking, a handy man started talking to me and swore up and down by these toliets. He said you pay a little more than some other toilets, but he said these were the best you could buy without buying a pressure assisted toilet which will run you $400+. He had installed a few of them and even had to replace some for some customers after the cheaper ones they bought clogged all the time.

On his advise and seeing the videos I decided to buy this toliet. It installed easily. I had read some reviews about the tank rocking and not being secure to the bowl so I was a little concerned. I took my time and made sure to tighten the nuts evenly when I installed it and I had no problems at all. The tank was very secure to the bowl and I could even lift the entire toliet up with no rocking/movement at all.

I installed the toilet and tested it. I was expecting a large rush of water and the air being sucked out of the room, but that was not the case. The flush was somewhat disappointing and I was a little worried that the toilet could not handle any amount of waste. Later I was able to give it a legitimate test. I did my business and then gave it a try. I even put a little extra toilet paper in the bowl to see if it would clog. Bang! Gone! Worked perfectly.

After using this toilet over the past year I see how works so well. The plunger system in the tank is different than regular tanks. When you hit the lever it lifts the flap up, just like a regular toliet. The difference is this toilet has a round flap and it is lifted straight up allowing the all the water to rush in at the same time. Imagine putting a coffee can under the water and then pulling the cover off in one motion. What happens is the water rushes into the bowl and forces the waste back into the bowl, breaking it up and not allowing it to clog. Other toilets cause suction immediately which cause the clog. I have never had a clog and I have never had to worry where the plunger is.

This is a great toilet and whenever I need a toilet replaced I will be installing one of these.

As an additional note the only concern I have is the flush system in the tank. After years of use the flush system in any toilet usually fails and needs to be replaced. This is not your standard system and I don’t think there is a universal system that you can install like a regular toilet. I’m a little worried that I might not be able to find one at that time, but I’ll worry about that years from now if it even happens.

Flushes fine. The tank rests on a rubber mounting and it is unnerving to have it move. Worry about an eventual leak. The lid that came with it is cheap and doesn’t stay up half the time. Hits you in the back and slams shut on finishing your business. Aggravating. Will have to find a better lid that will fit this thing or take the existing lid apart and do some sanding in the hinge area. Even when open it won’t rest against the tank. Wants to slam shut. Very aggravating. As well as it flushes, I wish I had purchased another product.

I wanted a toilet that I didn’t have to be paranoid about flushing, and this one fits the bill. I do wish it were more stingy with the water. Don’t forget the seat is not included.

This toilet has been clog free since purchase as advertised. I also like the increased height.

Recently remodeled a bathroom and went with this American Standard Right Height Elongated model in BONE from a local plumbing supplier. After installing it DIY I had a small leak that was very perplexing as I figured it was from either the supply line, bolt holes between tank and bowl or the main gasket. After disassembling and reassembling the leak persisted. Was only able to speculate that there was a flaw in the tank. Contacted supplier and they swapped the tank without a hassle other than having to drive an hour roundtrip to return it.

New tank works perfect and no leaks and flush mechanism functions as promised thou I have not attempted to flush a bucket of golf balls.

I’m 6’1″ with 34″ inseem and I wanted the taller toilet as I hate feeling like I’m sitting so low. The RH is great for me and I figured the extra 1.8″ height wouldn’t be a big deal for the family (wife is 5’7″ and my 4yr old) but apparently the girls really dislike “how tall” this potty is. Oh well…there are two other standard height models in the house for them!! Just thought I’d mention that this is a nice product but the RH is not for all.

If so, then I don’t want to be right!

The Champion 4 is by far THE BEST toilet I have ever had the pleasure of using.

Thanks to The Energy Policy Act of 1992, created by the 102nd Congress under George H.W. Bush (41), and signed into law 1994 by Bill Clinton, all toilets made after that date had to flush with only 1.6 gallons of water instead of 3.5 gallons for toilets made in the 80′s, 5 gallons for toilets at the end of the 60′s, and up to 7 gallons, for toilets made in the 50′s, like mine.

The problem is, without also SHOWING toilet makers HOW they could accomplish this feat (now made mandatory by government), toilets manufactured shortly after that date used to clog VERY EASILY. Most manufacturers only decreased the size of the toilet tank to accomplish what the law mandated. This could then mean that users had to flush 3, 4 or more times to move the stuff through the pipes. As you can see, with a clogged bowl you could EASILY surpass the 3.5 gallons for toilets made in the 80′s with only 3 flushes. (GOV’T: STAY OUT OF MY BATHROOM!)

Enter American Standard. Technology had FINALLY advanced to a point where American Standard did complete redesign of the inner workings of a toilet. Basically a redirection of the waste pipes within the toilet.

The Champion 4 is quiet, quick, and COMPLETELY FLUSHES ANYTHING with one simple flush! Their marketing department indicates that you can flush an entire bucket of golf balls (for those folks with WHO INSIST on eating a bucket of golf balls!)

I love, Love, LOVE this toilet, and I NEVER have to plunge a toilet again! Also, I will never have to flush more than once. I don’t COMPLETELY understand the inner workings of this thing, bottom line: I’m just glad that it DOES WORK!

Thanks, American Standard, for making the Champion 4! I am a LOYAL enthusiast and will recommend your product to anyone I know looking to renovate their bathroom like I did.

P.S. As the poster below indicated, I too, heard about this from Consumer Reports, but I have American Standard to thank for it…
