DeerValley One Piece Toilet Elongated Toilet with Soft-Close Seat Powerful 1.1/1.6 GPF Dual Flush Standard Height Toilets Skirted Design 12" Rough-In DV-1F026

After I moved into my new house, I looked for quick upgrades that I could do. The toilets seemed easy enough. Some of the criteria that I was looking for in a new toilet were chair height (I am 6'2") and easy to clean. This toilet checked off both of those boxes and was one of the more affordable ones that I found. It should be standard that all toilets that are primarily used by adults should be chair height. The full wrap around easy clean toilets are becoming more common. These toilets have the securing bolts hidden has a skirt that wraps around it. Some toilets require you to wrap your arm around from the back to secure the bolts. It does make the skirt easier to clean, but also the bolts extremely more difficult to secure. This toilet is much easier to install because it has access ports on each side of it that allows you to secure the bolts through. I was able to install the toilet by myself and that included cleaning out the old seal, installing a new seal, mounting and securing the toilet. It took me less than 25 minutes to do. It looks great. Some things to keep in mind is that the internal pieces of the toilet are integrated into the toilet, so it is nat as easy as fixing a traditional toilet. You just can't swap out a single component. Also, I ran into a major issue when I was installing the toilet. I have the toilet water supply valves that come out of the floor. I had to reposition the valve in order for the toilet to fit. It was a tight squeeze but I made it work. This is a decent toilet well worth your consideration as an upgrade. It is the evolution of the bathroom toilet and is the future. I recommend this toilet. It is simple enough to install, very comfortable, and cleaning it is a cinch.

As a DYI project, I ordered this toilet to replace the one in our guest bathroom. We were so impressed by it's appearance, quality and performance that my wife decided that she also wanted to have one installed in the ensuite bath of our bedroom. I just placed a second order. The instructions that came with it are very clear and concise, which made installing it quick and easy. However because it's a one-piece toilet (not a separate removable water tank attached to the bowl, as is traditional) it weighs a hefty 99 pounds (45Kg) and is somewhat awkward to handle alone. Thus, I enlisted my son-in-law to help lift it up, and lower it (one of us on each side) while centering it on the mounting flange of the floor drain. Total time to remove the old toilet and install the new one was a little over 1 hour. DYI Pro Tip: To remove the water from the bowl, quickly pour a bucket of water into the bowl. While this sounds counter-intuitive, the rapid rush of water through the toilet will create a vacuum that sucks nearly all of the water out of the bowl. The little bit that's left will remain there if you pull the toilet straight off the mounting flange and carry it away without tilting it.

I was skeptical at first to buy a toilet on Amazon and was concerned that delivery would be an issue due to the weight. No problem with delivery and no damage to packaging. You need two able persons to carry it - it is heavy :-). Installation was super easy once I managed to remove the original 30 year old toilet which had both floor bolts rusted. Slim and stylish looking toilet and looks and feels of quality build. I can definitely recommend this model/product. Water usage is far less than original toilet, even for full flush.

Looks nice. Installs well in in tighter space . Seat is a bit tight on the slow close and water fill. A bit noisy but overall a nice looking design that fits well. It worked out perfectly on my small bathroom renovation.

Easy install if you have a man to help lift toilet in place. Ohh and it is so nice to clean. Weird thing to say about a toilet but the design is total sleek, none of the rounded parts or nooks and crannies like old toilets. Just smooth flat surface to spray clean wipe off. Wonderful. Have had no issues and really wish I'd done this sooner.

The DeerValley DV-1F026 offers a blend of style and efficiency, making it a strong contender for modern bathroom upgrades. However, potential buyers should be prepared for possible installation challenges and ensure thorough inspection upon delivery to address any quality concerns promptly.

So, I gave it only 1 star because of installation and function. I said terrible if you do not have "COMPLETE" ample room on both sides of the toilet, then this toilet is "NOT" for you. in the install video it is very easy because there is "NOTHING" around it. Sure, but that is not the case in 95% of homes. I have removed and installed many toilets but this one was the "ONLY" difficult one. the difficulty is in placing it where it belongs. most especially that it completely has the shut off valve behind the toilet. with no room even behind the toilet to turn on the valve after placing it, I had to get a 20" hose and turn the water valve on "BEFORE" placing the toilet. once that is done, the rest is fine and the toilet looks great. Then, you come to use it. If you use the #1 button it doesnt flush that all the way. So you can imagine how it is for #2. People like me write reviews for a reason and that is for others not to fall for the fancy ads. this is a final review edit after few months of using it. I am getting rid of it.

Great purchase, complete with everything necessary other than the hand tools. Great product.
