I bought two compact Cadet 3 to replace two old American Standards that never fushed well and were too low (14 1/2"). Install was easy as the old toilets were 13yrs old. Buy a heavy duty wax seal, 20 inch braided water line, and a better oval seat. I used the premium seats off my old toilets and they were perfect. When flushing, one quick push of the handle for urine and a longer push for solids. No more ugly plungers in the bathroom. The 16 1/2 inch height is perfect and I do not feel like I am doing deep knee bends. The height is great for my wife who has had a knee replacement. Pay the money and get a great looking toilet, simple flush mechanism, and great seating height.
