Kohler Highline Toilet Review Pros, Cons & Verdict
Summary

- Features
Kohler is a well-known bathroom fixture manufacturer. The company offers high-end and mid-range products at a reasonable price, even though there are cheaper alternatives. They offer the Highline, one of their most popular toilet models, in a variety of heights and rough-in options to meet different consumer needs.
The Highline toilet is adequate, but it is quite expensive considering the quality. The Highline is only available in two-piece construction, meaning that gaskets will need to be replaced eventually and there are lots of places for dirt, grime and other undesirable substances to accumulate. There are more places for bacteria and dirt to accumulate because the trap-ways can be seen.
Although it is attractive, the toilet doesn’t really stand out. Although it has a simple design, it doesn’t stand out from other toilets.
The Highline is distinguished by its flush. The flush is economical and does a great job of keeping the bowl clean. However, this toilet only has one flush. This is in contrast to modern toilets with dual-flush options.

Class 5 Economical Flush
Nobody wants a messy, stained toilet bowl. However, most people are more conscious of their water consumption and want a clean, economical flush.
The Highline excels in this area. The Highline flushes 6 Liters of water and is very economical. This flush is class five, meaning it provides maximum flushing performance even though it uses very little water.
The flush was also very thorough and reached every part of the bowl. The bowl is clean and does not require constant attention.
There Are No Awards For Appearance
Although appearances may be secondary to performance, many people still want a toilet that is attractive and will enhance the bathroom’s overall look. The Highline isn’t going to be a popular choice for its attractiveness, but it isn’t necessarily ugly.
It’s a very basic toilet with no design elements that make it stand out. It has a shiny finish that looks great, but it is nothing special.
Today’s toilets are becoming more elegant. They hide the trap-ways and offer sleek lines that make them very appealing. The Highline will not disappoint. However, not everyone wants something special. The Highline is a good option if you are looking for a basic toilet.
Is It Possible To Keep It Clean?
The ease of cleaning a toilet is one of the most important aspects. The powerful, class-five flush ensures that the Highline bowl remains clean.
The toilet is made from china and has a glossy finish that’s easy to clean. There are some things that make this toilet less clean than others.
It is a 2-piece design. This means there is a large gap between the tank and bowl. This opening can collect dirt, bacteria, and other nasty stuff, which can cause odors and make the toilet less clean. It is difficult to clean this area so you will be stuck with it.
The exposed trap-ways are also not our favorite. Although this is the standard design, many manufacturers now offer skirted trapways. There are many places where bacteria, dirt and other contaminants can build up in visible trap-ways. These areas are not something that anyone likes to reach for.
The Best Place To Park Your Can
You want the toilet to feel as comfortable as you can, even if it is not used often. While you can find a seat that fits better on your back, it is not possible to adjust the height of the toilet.
The Highline comes in a variety of heights. There is a comfort height model that measures 42 cm from the top of its rim. The total height will be between 17 and 46 cm when you add the seat. This height is higher than most toilets, and it’s a good height for people who have difficulty bending or getting off of low-height toilets.
