- Delta’s been solid for me too—never had one fail yet, and I’m not exactly gentle on them.
- Moen’s designs are nice, but yeah, I had a similar issue with a leaky handle after a year or so. Not worth the hassle.
- Toto toilets are basically the gold standard. I’ve got one in the guest bath and it’s handled some... impressive situations without complaint.
- Smart fixtures? Hard pass. If I need to troubleshoot my toilet with WiFi, something’s gone wrong in life.
- Only thing I’ll add: Kohler’s been decent for me on sinks, but their toilets haven’t impressed. Just my two cents.

Delta’s been my go-to for faucets too—never had one rust out or get weird. I’m with you on smart fixtures... if my toilet needs a firmware update, I’m out. Anyone tried those dual-flush eco toilets? Curious if they actually save water or just annoy people.

I’ve got a dual-flush in my guest bath—honestly, it does save water, but the flush buttons feel kinda flimsy. Not a dealbreaker, just something I noticed. Anyone have thoughts on Kohler vs. Toto for toilets? I keep hearing mixed things about both.

I get what you mean about the dual-flush buttons feeling flimsy. I’ve got a similar setup and sometimes I wonder if I’m going to snap the thing off. As for Kohler vs. Toto, I went with Kohler last year because it was a bit cheaper at my local store, and honestly, it’s been solid—no leaks, easy to clean. But I have friends who swear by Toto and say they’re worth the extra cash. For me, spending less upfront made more sense, but I do wonder if I’ll regret it in a few years...

Had the same debate a couple years back when I redid our main bath. Ended up going with Toto after reading way too many reviews and, honestly, it’s been rock solid. The flush is strong and the finish still looks new. That said, my parents have had a Kohler for ages and it’s never given them trouble either. I think a lot comes down to install and water quality, too—hard water can mess with anything over time. If you’re handy, swapping out the guts down the line isn’t too bad anyway.
