Awesome toilet! Only two flaws...
This is a lovely toilet. Modern, clean lines, excellent dual flush mechanism. It is the perfect fit for my modern bathroom and is reasonbly priced for its design. Uses very little water, but flushes clean. It is taller than my existing older toilets, but still comfortable for me (5'8"). I was concerned my wife who is 5'4" would be dangling her feet, but she said it is a comfortable height for her as well.
It is heavy and requires 2 people to move and install. A 3rd person helps if you have one. I couldn't use an adhesive wax free ring/seal on this as the porcelain around the horn has some imperfections and caulk around it from the manufacturing process, so it would have been a risky seal. I ended up using the supplied wax ring, no issues thus far.
The flaw:
Why did i give it 4 and not 5 stars? The bottom is not flat. I understand that toilet bottoms aren't going to be perfect, but the front had a gaping opening that i could barely shim with composite shims. The manual states there are variances in the manufacturing process, but i thought the lack of flatness was excessive. Luckily a bead of silicone can hide this, but this was still unpleasant to look at, especially after all my hard work to make the floor flat.
Update 3/7/18:
Added a photo with the elongated biobidet bb-2000. Fits perfectly as if designed together. Designs are complementary and match well.
One other issue, the water that comes out to wash the bowl during flushing misses some spots near back of bowl. So it seems that the water flow around the bowl isn't evenly distributed and washes more of the front part of the bowl. I think I am maxed out on water volume for a flush so these areas will remain "dry". The area is easy to clean so not a huge issue, but I consider it a design flaw.
Regardless of the two flaws, I still give it 4 stars... It's purty
