An integral part of any bathroom is the toilet. Plumbing is usually installed for a long time and, as a rule, during major repairs. Therefore, consumers are very responsible in choosing a product. However, in the stores there are many different models. Someone prefers domestic samples that differ in budget price, coupled with quality, but not a presentable look. Others choose foreign products that have a high cost. Still others prefer affordable Chinese plumbing and change it as they fail. This article will examine the Cersanit toilet bowls, reviews of which are somewhat controversial. The Polish company has quite a lot of experience in the production of sanitary products, and among the presented models there are samples that inspire confidence of the buyer, as well as those that have the most complaints.
About company
The Polish manufacturer "Cersanit" began its activities in the distant 90s of the XX century. The main working lines are now located in Poland, Russia and Ukraine. Fittings and all internal components are produced in Turkey and at the Russian IncoEr plant, which is located in the Kirov region. All sales in our country are carried out through a network of distributors.
The consumer may not worry if something happens to the Cersanit toilet. Reviews show that the manufacturer fully provides warranty support and after-sales service.
Even when thinking about the design of the future bathroom for the consumer, a computer program becomes available, where you can foresee all the nuances and visually see the future model in the interior. The quality of all goods is indicated by the presence of a multi-stage system for checking the production process and certificates of compliance.
Company Assortment
All toilets of the company are united in a collection. If we consider the official catalog, which is presented by the company in Russia, then you can see two samples of a compact and ten pendant. However, a much larger assortment is already presented in stores.
The cost can be called quite affordable. The price starts at 9,000 rubles, but only economy models enter this range. Among the hanging samples, you can also find an inexpensive toilet. However, only faience itself will be included in the price, the installation will not be taken into account.
The company can offer more expensive models to picky customers. They are distinguished by better quality material, original versions of technical solutions, design execution of the bowl and the presence of complex fittings.
Plumbers reviews
Quite popular are the toilet "Cersanite". Reviews of professional plumbers show that, in general, all models are of high quality and have a sufficiently long service life. However, sometimes you can find opinions that Polish goods have become less reliable and sound. Professionals reinforce their opinion by the fact that the company moved its main production lines to other countries, and it is precisely those samples that are not made in Poland that are subject to major criticism.
However, the brand’s engineers assure that all toilets are produced on the original production lines and using their own equipment. Quality control is also entrusted to the Polish employees of the company.
Plumbers are advised to carefully inspect your favorite model for marriage before buying. Cases were recorded when small cracks were simply covered with suitable enamel. However, most problems arise during the operation of the Cersanit toilet bowls. The reviews confirm that defects do not depend on the chosen model, but nevertheless, samples cheaper than 12,000 rubles more often fail.
Typical toilet problems "Cersanit"
Practitioners of plumbing highlight the most typical breakdowns of Polish plumbing. According to statistics, the following fail most often:
- trigger mechanism and other parts of reinforcement;
- seat cover when support gaskets are pressed;
- cover still during installation.
Many users note that the first breakdowns occur after 6-7 years of active use. However, according to plumbers, this is normal. But here the problems after six months of using the toilet should be the reason for contacting a service center for diagnostics and possible repairs.
The problem is that warranty service points are not present in every city of the Russian Federation. Even if there is a service, then calling a master at home can be difficult due to the large number of orders.
Toilets "Cersanite": customer reviews
If we analyze the responses of users, it is clear that the main problems are associated with the trigger mechanism of the tank. Among the main complaints are:
- The size of the toilet bowl and the drain tank are not comparable. When water is supplied, the pressure is weak. When draining, even a funnel does not form, therefore, in order to achieve the desired purity, it is necessary to drain the water 2-3 times.
- If the drain button is pressed slowly, all the way or too abruptly, there is a risk of it dropping. The fittings do not completely block the drain, and after the water enters the tank, it runs back in a thin stream.
- You often have to change the gaskets to prevent leakage. But getting original spare parts is problematic, and the quality is not always high.
- An economical drain is not always satisfactory. In fact, the amount of water remains the same. Often, plumbers see the so-called snag, when the button inside works in the same mode.
Not everyone is satisfied with the design of the inside of the toilet. Budget models do not have an anti-splash system, so there are inconveniences in terms of personal hygiene.
There are also laudatory reviews. All models are characterized by flawless whiteness and clear lines. Care does not require special funds and does not seem difficult. However, sometimes housewives note that some cleaning powders leave traces on the faience. But the disadvantage compensates for the quiet sound when draining and drawing water.
Cersanit toilet bowls are suitable for consumers who need a solid, high-quality, but inexpensive sample. The company uses ceramics proven by time, and it does not receive complaints. The manufacturer brings the cover, fittings and the presence of plastic parts.
Toilet installation
The installation and commissioning of Cersanit toilets is no different from the installation of such products and is carried out according to a single scheme. For convenience, instructions are always attached to each model, which is designed to help carry out installation. However, it is worth considering the features of water disposal before buying and not buying a suspended model if it is supposed to drain in the floor. The design should be suitable for the sewer system of the home.
To connect you will need:
- corrugation;
- eccentric cuff;
- plastic branch.
All elements must be connected using sealed rubber seals. If the cuff is connected to a cast-iron sewer pipe, then sanitary sealant should be used. The toilet itself is mounted on dowels.
"Cersanit Karina": a model for a combined bathroom
Quite aesthetic and compact is the toilet "Cersanite Karina". Reviews show that the model fits perfectly into a small combined unit where space is required. Users note excellent lift and a good drain. However, the lid does not fall when closing, but if you need to open it, then you need to make an effort. The flush is of sufficient quality, water pours in a circle.
However, there are disadvantages. The lid does not completely cover the entire toilet, part of the seat remains visible. A slight creak is heard while lowering the lid. But basically, the model satisfies users, because for little money you can get a pretty solid plumbing.
