We are a family with 3 kids and when we moved into our new building, we were aware of a trademark toilet (V & B Subway 2.0 with Direct Flush and Ceramicplus, AntiBac (ie open flushing rim, special ceramic surface with nano-effect) and for the second Bad opt for a toilet from the hardware store, the subway the toilet looked visually very similar. We wanted to know exactly whether it is worthwhile to spend more money for new technical knowledge. After a few weeks, the results were clear: it is worthwhile !!! ***** Hygienic and clean, very easy to clean, much less detergent, especially the time saving is enormous ***** Of course, the new technology not exempt from a regular cleaning of the toilet, but the effort is much smaller and the toilet is much cleaner. Already during flushing, no deposits in the open flushing rim can form. You can see it and you can wipe the rim with a cloth calms. Of course, at the nano-coating water pearl remain on the ceramic are, but that does not bother. Deposits can remain less liable and it shows very clearly. In addition, we have the soft-close seat with the quick-release function: Remove the seat can be with one hand (at a certain angle) and click on it again and is very stable. Behind can be easily wiped on the smooth surface. At the hardware store WC already after 3 weeks this Quick Seat feature was faulty, after 6 months of seat wobbled. Despite regular cleaning, were formed in significant discoloration flushing rim and even in corners that are unreachable with the toilet brush. Deposits in the drain can be removed only with difficulty, because the diameter of the outflow is too tight. Total disappointment. CONCLUSION: At the next opportunity, we will replace the hardware store toilet to a SUBWAY without flushing rim and with CeramikPlus!
