Hi everyone,
I purchased a Kohler Class 5 toilet a few months ago and just got around to installing it today as the other parts of my remodel took longer than I thought. Anyway, I was apauled at the lack of performance of it (does not clean the bowl) and found out that many other people had the same issue. Doing the "pepper test" left me scratching my head how this thing made it to market.
I called Kohler (EXCELLENT customer service!) and they said they would send me a credit letter that I can take to my place of purchase to have applied to another Kohler product so I want to apply it towards a toilet.
Kohler said that my options for great bowl cleaning would be a Class 6 or Pressure assist. I recently had experience with the pressure assisst on a recent business trip and I was blown away by the performance and loved the loud "WHOOSH!" sound it made during flushing.

I know that the recommendation of the forum is Toto, but I'm locked into Kohler due to the credit so I wanted to get opinions on the Class 6 vs Pressure assist. Kohler says the pressure assist is the most powerful flush they make, but I want to know if there are any concerns with them like difficulty in maintenance.
I would imagine that the pressure assist is used in hotels to cut down on calls for clogged toilets so I'm not worried about the performance (I got to use it first hand) but just any maintenance issues.
Thanks and happy holidays!
