One-piece kohler toilets have become the new cool, and there are dozens of one-piece toilets available in the market.

Design

With its irresistible design, Kohler San Souci stands out among its competitors. Thanks to its sleek and contemporary design, it is one of the top choices for people who want to add a modern touch to their bathrooms interior. Additionally, when the low-profile tank is combined with the comfort height of this toilet, it makes the Kohler San Souci the perfect choice for tall adults or people with disabilities and injuries. The elongated bowl provides more space for your legs and ensures superior comfort while you get done with your bathroom business. Furthermore, the comfort height of Kohler San Souci makes it easier for the users to sit down and stand up before and after using the toilet.

Flushing

Kohler San Souci is a water-efficient toilet that promises to help save 16,500 gallons of water per year, which makes it eco-friendly and budget-friendly as well. For people who are incredibly serious about saving the planet, using a toilet that doesn’t waste water is an ideal option. Furthermore, it consumes 1.28 gallons per flush, which is significantly less than the toilets of the past that consumed multiple gallons of water per flush. Besides, even with less water consumption, it doesn’t sacrifice the flushing performance and provides fast and powerful flushes to eliminate the waste entirely without needing to flush twice. 

Cleaning

The flushing tank of Kohler San Souci includes a standard left-hand trip lever for smooth and effort-less flushing operation. Since the toilet id EPA WaterSense certified, it allows you to benefit from customer rebates on your water bills. Additionally, the concealed trap way design makes sure that the toilet is thoroughly cleaned with every flush to get rid of the debris to provide superior sanitation. Most importantly, this water-efficient toilet comes with a Quiet-Close, Grip-Tight toilet seat that prevents you from waking up the people in your house when you visit the bathroom in the night. It also saves you from looking for the right toilet seat for your Kohler one-piece toilet.

Installation

Kohler San Souci comes with a standard 12-inch rough-in that is required for its installation. You may need a plumber to set up the toilet if you are not a do-it-yourself person. Furthermore, as it is a one-piece toilet, the entire unit would be heavier than a two-piece toilet, which can be a hurdle if you try to install the toilet on your own or without any help. However, the toilet’s supply line doesn’t come with the package, and you will have to purchase it separately.

Overall rating 4.5/5

Kohler San Souci is overall a pretty great toilet, and it is ADA-compliant and water-efficient. It comes with a toilet seat that has a soft-close feature to prevent loud slams every time you close the seat lid. Furthermore, the sleek design is incredibly eye-catching and would give your bathroom a chic look.
