American Standard Fairfield Toilet Review (2021 Buyer Information)

The American Standard Fairfield is a one-piece toilet that comes with an elongated bowl. This toilet includes a color-matched, solid plastic toilet seat and a seat cover. Additionally, it features a low-profile tank and is ideal for medium to small bathrooms and restrooms. The flushing system consumes only 1.28 gallons, which makes it EPA WaterSense certified.

This certification makes you eligible for rebates on your water bills in some states. Also, this toilet is a simple and affordable option with its simple yet effective design.

Let’s have a further look at the features of this high-efficiency toilet.

Design

This single-piece toilet is made from vitreous china, like most other toilets. It features an oval bowl that provides more room for your legs; hence, more comfort. Additionally, this toilet also includes a color-matched, solid plastic seat with a cover. This unit also features a polished chrome side-mounted actuator for a convenient flushing operation. It consists of a 2-inch glazed trapway to increase flushing efficiency.

Flushing System

This toilet uses a powerful flushing system that consumes only 1.28 gallons of water. This low water usage makes this toilet EPA WaterSense certified. Additionally, it uses gravity to create specific action that increases flushing efficiency.

A chrome, actuator on the side of the tank ensures a convenient and seamless flushing system. In addition to that, this toilet features a 3-inch flush valve and a 2-inch trapway. This toilet is EPA WaterSense certified, which makes you eligible for consumer rebates.

Cleaning

This toilet has a slick, beautiful design that should be cleaned using a gentle cleanser. It shouldn’t damage the surface of this toilet. However, this toilet doesn’t come with a special finishing, so you will have to clean it manually. Doing this will protect the toilet from dirt and germ build-up. Additionally, deep cleaning your toilet every week will keep it in good shape for a long time.

Installation

The installation of this toilet is very straightforward, like the American Standard H20 Siphonic Dual Flush. It comes with an instruction manual to help with the installation process. Additionally, the package also includes two color-matched bolt caps for the installation of this toilet. Being a single-piece unit, it’s a little heavy, and its heavyweight makes the setup a bit tricky and a two-person job.

Unique Features of the American Standard Fairfield Toilet

Consumption

Consumption should always be considered when buying a new toilet. When it comes to the Fairfield model, the truth is, it consumes more than other modern toilets. That’s why it doesn’t have the EPA WaterSense certification. Unlike most models, instead of 1.28, it consumes around 1.6 gallons per each flush. However, it’s still pretty fair.

Materials

Like most modern toilets, this American Standard model is also made from Vitreous China. The material is strong, durable, and prevents bacteria from sticking. It also prevents the sticking of dirt, which directly lessens the maintenance time in the long run.

The toilet has an enamel coating which prevents the appearance of infections and stains. It means that there is no need for using harsh chemicals that might ruin the surface. Also, it directly increases the lifespan of the toilet.

Extra Features

Among all the toilet’s features, we really adore the SoftClose seat that comes with the package. Its special technique prevents unintentional slamming, which directly improves its lifespan. Also, the seat is completely white, making it suitable for most modern and even older bathrooms.

Price and Warranty

This company provides one of the best warranties among toilet manufacturers. When you buy this unit, you will get a lifetime warranty on the coating, and a 1-year warranty on parts. It also has a warranty on its SoftClose seat.

Pros and Cons of American Standard Fairfield

Like most units, this toilet also has some upsides and downsides. Let’s talk about the good things first. The toilet has a beautiful, modern design, which makes it an excellent fit for most bathrooms. Then, its seat height is not universal but is very comfortable. It doesn’t meet ADA standards, though. In the end, the toilet runs pretty quietly, which is another big plus.

Despite all of these features, the main disadvantage is the toilet’s price. If you are looking to spend as little cash as possible, it might not be the best choice for you. However, if you are ready to pay a bit more, this unit will be your best investment. Apart from that, we are satisfied with everything that this toilet has to offer.
