When buying a toilet bowl of an attached or suspended type, which provides for a hidden system of fastening the cistern, it must be borne in mind that the installation of such equipment involves covering the cistern and pipes with plasterboard. In this case, part of the bathroom space is taken away, therefore, this type of toilet will be inappropriate for small-sized rooms.

VitrA toilets are in high demand on the sanitary equipment market. The popularity is due to the rather high quality of the products of this manufacturer, as well as the developed functional side... Buyers note the noiselessness of filling the tank with water, the long time keeping the toilet bowl clean, the convenience of the anti-splash system, the softness of lowering the lid with the microlift function, and the high quality of the factory assembly.

However, some buyers have also identified the disadvantages of VitrA toilets. Some users noted that the button on the tank is hard to press and often sticks, and yellow streaks and small cracks appear on the bowl over time, in which dirt accumulates. The color of the toilet bowl in reality does not have such a snow-white shade as in the pictures in the catalog. Many users believe that the value for money of Turkish toilets of this brand is unequal.
