Ratings & Reviews for KOHLER Santa Rosa Black Compact Elongated Chair Height WaterSense Toilet 12-in Rough-In 1.28-GPF

Nice Height

Works exceptionally well. Empties and cleans well with each flush. Recommend.

Great, affordable toilet that works as described, low flow a plus

Have had this toilet for over 2 years now, we appreciate the compact size and the modernish look. Most importantly, the old toilet this one replaced was frequently plugged, with the Santa Rosa toilet it has only happened a few times and of those only twice did it require using the plunger, the other few times a few extra flushes.cleared the drain. Also even though this is low flow 1.28 gpf version it still works well. Changed out the seat to a Kohler manual bidet (highly recommend). I've seen co...

always looks dirty

6 months ago we remodeled our bathroom and installed a Santa Rosa 1.6 GPF white toilet. It fit the room well but we have had several issues with it. The tank cover did not fit and showed unglazed material - Kohler had to send us a new one, the seat cracked in a very short time - Kohler had to send a new one. The one issue we still have, and I believe will ALWAYS have is that the bowel always looks dirty. It develops a brown ring at the water line in just a couple of days after cleaning it. I am ...

Happy with this choice

Santa Rosa is a solid choice for an affordable, efficient toilet that looks good. I have replaced all 4 of my builder grade toilets with the Santa Rosa now and I am happy with how it is easier to clean and has been reliable thus far.

santa rosa

love the new santa rosa toilet. Have only had it for a week, but live the height .

Looks good

We love the look and functionality of a one-piece toilet. Also, once you’ve had a comfort height toilet (this is our third in three bathrooms) there is no going back.

Fit in our tight spot perfectly.

Is very nice and well built. Looks great too. Easy to clean.

Excellent toilet but .....

I bought this kholer less than a month ago and ever since I have anxiety every time I flush because it splashes upward . Tried to adjust the water level to no avail !

Great toilet but Caused water hammer in house pipes because of power flush

Note to Kohler engineers: Power flush caused air to get into house pipes when toilet flushed. Cut water flow intake to bowl to twice as long to refill bowl. Problem solved.

unglazed seam

I like the sleek simple lines of this toilet and it works well. I am disappointed that there is the unglazed seam that other reviewers have mentioned. Our cleaner thought she needed to dust it. So it always looks a bit dirty in that area. I bought this toilet through my plumber, but am posting this review here because Kohler should be more careful with details. Kohler is sending me a new lid, so I will see if this helps hide the unfinished edge.

Excellent solution…

After installation noticed the awful, unsightly unfinished top edge of the tank. Belatedly…read other’s reviews of this issue and contacted Kohler customer service. Rebecca immediately offered to send out the alternative tank top. It arrived today and it is a perfect solution. The unfinished edge is completely covered. Awesome customer service. To maintain Kohler product standards, the old lid should never be sent out with the product going forward or include the new lid in new orders so custome...

replacement for inside tank parts

I need help finding part numbers to replace parts inside the tank. Are there generic replacements? Is the Aquajet still availble?

Santa Rosa toilet seat

I had the same problem with the seat cracking / splitting. Can't believe Kohler would manufacture a seat like this....glueing 2 parts.

Aquapiston is a defective design causing water leakage

I've installed and owned multiple Kohler & Toto toilets. In my experience, the tot toilets never leak. Any Kohler with the Aquapiston leaks over time. It is difficult to determine WHERE the leak is occurring. the cost of the leaker water IS GREATER THAN THE PRICE of the toilet. Consequently, any Kohler toilet with the Aquapiston technology is a bad economic investment.

Poor toilet seat and poor glaze on tank

purchased two of these toilets for a powder room and guest bathroom remodel. We have never spent this much on a toilet but we really liked how it looked. And since it was Kohler it would be worth the expense. It was quite a surprise and huge disappointment to discover the 1) toilet seat is not a soft close and it is very poor quality & 2) the toilet tank is not glazed around the edges & the lid just barely covers the top of the tank leaving the unglazed edges quite visible. Why charge ...

Black mold

The previous owners of our current home had two of these Santa Rosa toilets installed in late 2018. I have had a constant struggle controlling mold from forming in the tank which then accumulates at the water line in the bowl. One has a permanent grey stain at the water line that cannot be removed. There is no mold elsewhere in the house. I have scrubbed the interior of the tank (including the lid) with a bleach solution as per the manufacturer's recommendation. I have also scrubbed the undersid...
