  • No surprise here. The trapway is fully glazed in the Vienna and not at all glazed on the Wellworth. These tests are exactly the reason I dislike these pieces of junk. I mean honestly, this Wellworth was outperformed by a freaking Vortens toilet. C'mon Kohler.

    Kohler went downhill in the 3.5 era then redeemed themselves in the 1.6/1.28 era.

    pretty disappointing how miserably the wellworth failed. the vienna did extremely well especially for a front flusher. not sure what happened with it on the grocery bag and wash cloth test tho.

    The newer toilet did pretty well, and though I like the height of it, I still feel partial to the 1978 Wellworth, mainly because of its color. 🤎🤣

    The left toilet is good better than the Water guard
    The water guard is worth it did not flush a Washcloth Because the trash is small on that water guard the toilet on the left is better.

    I really like these Wellworths but I'm definitely disappointed in it. Just goes to show you can't always praise something for being"vintage". The Vortens did about how I expected, very similar to the Lamosas in my house.

    Vortens vienna outperforms a kohler wellworth waterguard because the waterguard trap is tiny and unglazed but the vienna trap is fully glazed kohler you should be embarrassed that your well known toilet got outperformed by a cheap forgein made builder grade toilet just the first flush on its own because of the poorly marked water line tsk tsk tsk
