Caroma Urbane II Cleanflush Toilet Suite

Caroma Urbane 2 cleanflush best toilet and warranty out there i did the research – Hi well i needed 2 toilets for my home reno, i am a roofer/builder of 40 years and i do my research, i don't get what people are on about giving bad reviews on this toilet, really why are you saying it does not flush, or it sprays water on the floor, blah blah that it total rubbish, i read all the reviews and was not going to buy it, the reviews… Read more ·  1

turned me off Caroma, so i spent days looking around with my wife for a quality toilet and money was not the issue i was prepared to pay i went to all the local bathroom outlets and got offered various brands from so many different manufactures , all the bull about this comes from Italy, or whatever, and don't buy Caroma its made in china all that stuff, in the end we started wondering what are we going to buy they all get bad reviews, sales people push what they stock and bag the others Really after hours on the net, yes i did a lot of research as i heard about these rimless toilets don't flush properly all that, so we were worried i did not want to retile 2 bathrooms with faulty toilets, my wife said ask our plumber he has been our plumber for years , he suggested the Caroma, So as they all seemed to have bad reviews, no one seemed to promote any only there stock, we thought screw it lets just get the Caroma, i went back and back and back again to H&G looking at all there brands, but in the end went to Harveys and the sales girl said why are you buying this Caroma, she said they have issues, she said the toilet seats break, and seats only have 1 year warranty, i argued nicely and told her no its 5 years, she would not back down, just said don't buy it they don't flush properly, and wanted us to buy a more expensive toilet made by Arcisan, so i left and called Caroma outside the store at harveys, and Caroma confirmed its 5 years on the seat that's better than any other warranty out there, also 20 years on the pan and system, you cant beat that, the Aricsan was 2 years, most are 2 years many are 1 year on seat, Caromas 5 year seat and 20 year china cannot be beat can it ? i am writing this long review as i am pretty annoyed i spent so much time trying to find a decent toilet and some of these bad reviews just put me off and wasted so much time bottom line here, both toilets have been installed, i can tell you 100 percent, they flush no problem, one push of the full flush its done, all this rubbish they don't flush is nonsense, why do people do these bad reviews i do not understand, it flush's, it does not spray water on the floor, definite no water that is more nonsense, it has the best warranty, and another obvious thing you can always get parts Caroma is designed for OZ, parts are easy to get, what is not to like, so parts, flush, warranty, and the price is below most of these supposed better toilets that have tiny warranty's, big price, and parts well who knows i have nothing to do with Caroma, zero, don't waste time like i did, you cant beat this model, it just really bugs me you read reviews to try and help make a correct purchase but why do some write these silly reviews, why did one say he has to flush 3 times, really what are you doing, total nonsense, and the other saying he would rather use the bush come on why the bad review, anyway bought from Harvey $799 but also got a $25 gift voucher so toilet cost was $774 thats pretty good for a warranty and style it is a good looker too, one thing to mention Urbane 11 is a tall toilet i wanted that, go the Luna if you want a bit lower, all good now, just dont overthink it like i did, just by a caroma and get on with it.....

Save your money – Overpriced, terrible and noisy flush... have to flush 3 times. Why would a toilet made in china be so expensive.... Beats me. We bought another toilet for our ensuite with easy clean ceramic, cheaper and flushes much better.

Caroma Urbane II Clean Flush 2022 – Brand New Caroma Urbane 11 Clean Flush Back to wall with a bottom inlet. Best Toilet ever, it’s rimless with a powerful flush. OMG no more crap shelve. Big drop zone. It has a higher sitting position for our long legs. Thanks Caroma and Thanks REECE MORNINGSIDE. Show details

Seems ok – Caroma has been made in Australia for 60 years… I’ll write a review as I just had one installed Luna which already I feel is far to low…will probably need to find another system higher… Show details

Worst toilet ever, I would prefer to poo in the bush – There are a number of issues with this toilet but I’m only listing the top three: 1. Toilet seat is long and therefore when wiping ones bottom, placing more weight on one side of the toilet seat, the hinges stress out and the seat moves. Had to replace toilet seat twice thus far. 2. Toilet flush does not wet the whole perimeter of the bowl. Get… Read more

used to using the toilet brush, and I’m not one that has not required to use a toilet brush prior to this toilet. 3. Worst of, the toilet spits water out of the bowl and on to your legs. If you look at the floor in front of the toilet there are splash marks everywhere. How can this be hygienic?? Pros: 1. It looks like a good toilet

No colour match with Caroma basin and pan – Really disappointed that the white colour of pan and sink does not match. The company’s own plumber confirmed the lack of colour match and said that he would arrange for a replacement sink of right colour to be send to us. One week later, when we contacted Caroma, Caroma’s helpline told us that there is no guarantee of the white of their products… Read more

being the same and that we need to buy a replacement basin - with no guarantee of colour being the same.

Great loo! – Now have two of lunar clean flush suites in our home! We find it great flushes well have no problems with stains at all easy to clean. Very happy with ours!! Show details

Crappy toilet – I'm glad I'm not the only person unimpressed by these toilets. All the same issues, half flush is useless, full flush for number 2 needs a double flush. What a waste of money and bad for their brand. Out of my 4 toilets 3 of them the soft closer has died after 4 years. Would never buy a caroma product again. Show details

Over priced. Similar faults as others. No half flush. Inadequate flush – Caroma has been serving me well for years. We built the present house and moved in last year. We bought three urbane toilets. All bought and installed by the horrible builder lat 37. I liked the style. No bends or tap connections seen. ( this feature could be a disadvantage. What if you want to add a hand flush or an bidet toilet seat needing a… Read more

water source. )

Now I see the same problems as others. A wee bit high. Needs more than one flush for number two and the remaining water still appeared coloured. Crap frequently sticks to the s bend under the water-line and stained easily quickly. Occasionally water gets sprayed out of the bowl. Filling up is slow.

The one question I have is that why have half flush and full flush buttons. Both work exactly the same. You either press the buttons till the flushing stops Or it stops flushing as soon as the buttons are released. The amount of flushing is the same for either buttons and always needs at least two flushes for poo.

A Dirge for my Dunny – A Lament to my Loo Pooper Prose? I wanted a basic, decent loo that was solid and would last. Over the years, I’d replaced cisterns and seats and, well, if normal shopping is boring, that is sheer drudgery. Given my marked lack of interest in the purchase, the salesperson recommended a Caroma Urbane Cleanflush unit at nearly $1000. Ouch. This… Read more

wasn’t a bidet or anything fancy, but she pointed out that it was rimless – so, (supposedly!!) clean – and the smooth lines straight to the floor and wall behind meant none of the old-fashioned nooks and crannies to clean gross fluff and hair from.

I think she probably pointed out a lot of other brilliant attributes – for the price, I want to hope so – but honestly, once she said “it’s best feature is that it has a wide, deep throat” I was too busy trying to repress giggles to take in another word. Instead, I just signed over my savings.

However, I’m reasonably sure that what she didn’t mention was that the seat: 1: has a porous underside that stains within the first week of being used. 2. Is a soft-close. Which is great. Unless someone else wants to use the bathroom within five minutes, because then that lid will still be S-L-O-W-L-Y closing on your shame. Even without COVID, I have incredibly clean hands from unnecessarily continuing to wash them while I wait for that damn lid to close before I leave the room. 3. It’s impossible to clean the area between the seat and the lid hinge. Well, unless you use a Q-tip, that is. I am not that houseproud. I’d rather put my energy into being grumpy about the design fail. 4. I’m not one for hanging around in the loo, and I’ve never considered ‘comfort factors’ into my porcelain purchases, but I’m quite certain she did NOT mention that the seat, which is narrow, oddly-shaped and made of some fiendish material that has all the comfort of marble, is freaking cold.

I mean, not just a little squeal-inducing chilly kind of cold, but colder than Mawson’s hut.

Like you’ve just dropped your daks and leaned your butt against the side of an igloo cold.

The kind of cold that instantly freezes your liquid assets – which makes being in the bathroom kind of pointless.

The kind of cold that shoots stalagmites of ice through your jaw and into your molars.

The kind of cold that could be used if you’re into cryonics.

I know this seems a ridiculous complaint, on a par with the multiple reviews that warned my washing machine was too deep for height-challenged people to reach into (spoiler: the reviews were right, I have to use tongs to pull out the clothes) but this actually has the potential to create health issues: I mean, how long is it safe to cross your legs and hold it, rather than subject yourself to the glacial agony of a bathroom visit?

I suppose if you run a full house and want to avoid any dawdling, this toilet could be your jam - or prevent traffic jams :-) I know my dad will definitely never shift his library collection into there, unlike the outdoor dunny on the farm, so there is that.

The other fact is the rimless flush. It swooshes a bit of water at the front and sides, but nowhere near covers all the surfaces. The long drop (no pun intended) leads to splashing and the ceramic sides stain. Oh, and one other thing: holy hell, it is tall. I assumed that toilets are all the same height. I was wrong. I’m about 153cm, and if I was any shorter, I would need a stepping stool to mount this Pedestal of Pain.

I’m trying to keep positive, assuring myself it’ll be great when I get older, as I won’t have any knee or hip issues trying to lift ‘up’ to get off the Throne of Torture. Except my butt will be frozen to it in any case, right? Ah, First World Problems.

I’m off to place several layers of loo paper on the seat in an effort to insulate it.

Don't buy it. Even a Bunnings brand toilet is better quality – Bought this toilet suite as part of my new build thinking that Caroma is a good brand for toilet. Less than 2 years and the cistern is leaking and was told that the internal mechanism only has one year warranty. I've had no brand toilet suites in all my previous properties and they have NEVER leaked, after over 10 years. Terrible product. Show details

Bad Choice! – I paid top dollar because of the name Caroma but it has been a disappointing purchase for a number of reasons. 1- Sediment sticks to the porcelain much more than a cheaper toilet, it is only 8 months old and it has a brown sediment stain on the bottom of the s-bend. 2- It picks up.. how to put this discreetly..skid marks every time someone does… Read more

number 2. 3- the cistern takes forever to fill. 4- It has a rubber connector on the s-bend before it penetrates the floor, where as a normal toilet is porcelain all the way into the floor (my plumber said to me "when you smell something putrid in years to come, its because that connector has gone". Very disappointing purchase, I will replace in a year or so regardless.

Would not recommend you buy this toilet – We have recently completed a home renovation that included the installation of 5x luna cleanflush toilet suites (2x inwall systems & 3x suites) that we purchased through harvey norman. The reno handover was approximately six weeks ago. Having used the toilets since then we are extremely disap{pointed with this product - specifically, that the… Read more

toilet bowl requires brushing after every use - no matter who uses the toilet. I don't know if its the ceramic coating or the force of the flush, but there is faecal residue left on the bowl after every use. This can be expected on occasion but this is ridiculous. The product doesn't come close to performing as one would expect. Don't waste your money!

Very disappointed – We bought and did a total house reno mid 2018. I purchased 3 Caroma Urban toilets. I buy nothing without first doing a lot of research but at the time these units were relatively new and when I queried on function, I distinctly remember a sales rep saying " in the future all toilets will be following this rimless design. " I wish that I could… Read more

have waited for the future until they were more improved! Their appearance is excellent. I like the height because I have tricky knees and it is very easy for me to lower and rise, though it certainly would not want to be even a fraction higher. If you have small children a standard ladder style toilet frame will not fit because of the height. We have had to put a plank on the floor under the legs of frame. From the onset my husband has complained that when he flushes, water sprays out and hits his leg. I only hope that it is clean water because my greatest dislike of this toilet is that it does not flush well. It must be costing us a fortune in water bills. You cannot flush and walk away. No matter what goes in the bowl. The only way a number 2 will disappear is to "hold your finger on the full flush until it empties" and then you often have to repeat that same process. The old toilets from this house were Caroma and bought in 1986. I am very disappointed with the functioning of these new models.

Perfect – I have no idea what the poor reviewers do to this toilet but I have found mine brilliant. Flushed far better and had a modern look. Comfortable to sit on, I use mine to dispose of the cats (septic safe) litter and it’s perfect no complaints here. October 8th 2019 Update: Just bought another one if these bad boys Did a major bathroom Reno a few… Read more

months ago and got this toilet installed it’s just brilliant had it for a few months now and very happy with it. Just replaced the laundry spare toilet with the same thing as well never had a problem with it even visitors are impressed. Sound like some people who use the toilet must have the diarrhoea apocalypse, good lord eat more fibre people.

Clean and simple – Love the rimless design as there's no extra breeding ground under the rim. Was worried water would splash out, but it doesn't. Does need slightly more water than the standard 3 / 4.5 flush, but as others have said, for No.2's just hold the button down for a bit. Several comments about it being too tall - I'm 5'9" with short legs and I find it… Read more

very comfortable. It also helps me because I have back pain. All the specs are on the Caroma websites, so it's not like you can't research before you buy.

Spent more on plumbers visits than the unit cost – We bought this unit for my mothers en-suite. It only gets used at night with small amounts of biodegradable toilet paper. The uni orbital connector collects wet toilet paper in the rubber inside the pipe and then leaks from the join. This has been a nightmare because it is designed so you can’t get a drain snake in to dislodge the blockage from… Read more

the bowl end or the back inspection plate end. The plumber has to come and uncouple it from the wall to clear it. This has ended up costing us 4 plumbers visits and we are now looking to replace it as it is cheaper than to constantly repair and maintain everything. Maybe the s-trap is better but the p-trap is a nightmare.

Great toilet – Bought this toilet because our family are tall people and it's great being higher than other toilets. No problems with flushing as others have mentioned??? Easy to clean inside and out. We are renovating and will buy another one for our new bathroom.

It is good, but too tall for short person like me – It looks good but too tall for short people. Not noisy, quite easy to clean. But not comfortable when you do your business. A little bit regretful buying this one. Really should buy LUNA one.

Nice idea, but – For me, these are the good points. This toilet is very high, which would make it great for tall people like myself, and also for old people with bad hips, as long as they are tall enough. I must stress this toilet is tall, i am 6"2 and the height is perfect for me. Half flush is effective and reasonably quiet. The seat is very sturdy - seams like… Read more

ceramic or very rigid/thick plastic. The rimless design is very sleek and easy to clean, however there are caveats, and serious ones. The seat. It is very hard and very cold especially in winter. Being a tall toilet, the distance down to the water is quite far, which creates a lot of splashback. This means the mess sometimes spreads far and wide and even splashes water onto one's backside, not a nice feeling at all. The seat, is hard as stone and i know everyone is differently shaped but i have never been uncomfortable on a toilet before this one, the rim of the seat is very narrow and digs into the sciatic nerves in the buttocks. Not a problem if its a quick one but we all know it's not always quick. The soft closing lid/seat seams like a gimmick. Its easier to just push it up/down rather than nudge it and stand there waiting for it to reach its destination, it's kind of silly. Now for the biggest down side. Even on full flush, due to the new rimless design, the back of the bowl gets almost no water directly on it. It requires brushing every time. Not trying to be funny but it's like no real world testing was done before putting this loo on the market. Big pricetag. Poor results. If anyone knows of a tall toilet that does what it should please share.

Great design – The Caroma Urbane clean flush works great & isn’t noisy at all. It fills up fast & holds plenty of water to flush multiple times if needed after cleaning/brushing etc. The Caroma urbane clean flush cleans & flushers so much better then cheaper toilets. Looks great too & once again is not noisy what so ever.

Noisy flush – I wanted a caroma toilet as the original one we replaced had been there for years and we had no problems.Happy with the rimless design and the bowl is easy to clean but this is one of the noisiest flushes i have ever heard. If i could change it over i would but given the price we paid this is not an option. Also seems to get dirty easily right at the bottom and you really need to get the brush right in the bend to keep it clean

Much easier to keep clean – I was a little skeptical before purchasing, though couldn't be happier with this toilet. I have two teen sons and husband and this toilet is much easier to keep clean than my previous one. So far no problems with flushing away, works a treat.

Brush to clean – Does not clean after using it for full flush have to use cleaning brush. Very disappointed it replaced another Caroma Cavelle after 27 years could not get parts. Works ok on just the half flush. Also agree height of toilet, not a tall person feet on toes. Not good for children or short users.

Nothing but trouble - made in China – My caroma toilet has been nothing but trouble. My taps have also been a real hassle. Warranty issues and once warranty was up, plumbers called on multiple occasions. Caroma is made in China yet you pay exorbitant prices. No wonder it's share price has been going no where and it's profits are measly. Caroma is a has been.

Caroma Urbane Cleanflush Toilet Suite – We just got ours for a reasonable price of $729 in Brisbane. Very good toilet and works great but nothing works as great as the animations you see on youtube. :) We could not be more pleased with it and those who complain are from the opposition or have not bothered to see how the toilet works. It is about three litres with the left button… Read more

and 4.5litres with the right button. To date it has worked great with that but if you hold down the button you get eight litres which is just under the old style toilets.

With eight litres you should be able to flush anything but those trying to save money on water should not do that on the No 2 flush or you might end up blocking the pipes like some do on all toilets using the new water saving flush. I'll use the eight litres for the No. 2 as I do not want to have my pipes blocked. Like I said this can happen with any toilet if you use not enough water.

The pipes for our "S" type toilet were a breeze to install and overall we could not have bought a better toilet and the rimless is easy to clean. You have just got to judge for yourself if you like the height of the bowl as it is a bit higher than most. It suits us.

There is nothing else to say but just buy it.

December 5th 2017 Update: Caroma Urbane Cleanflush Toilet is great for us.

I may not be the toilet that is the problem but the amount of water being used by new water saving toilets.

Using this low amount of water will find some with blocked pipes.

Just use the full a flush for number ones (4.5l) and there will be no yellow left behind and hold the button down all the way for the full flush of 8 litres for number twos. You need to hold it until it is fully flushed then you should not have any problems.

By doing that you get a reasonable amount of water flowing and the pipes should not get blocked. The old toilets were about 9 litres and 4.5 litres.

Terrible – What a waste of money!!! Love the fact that it's rimless but it just doesn't flush properly, half flush leaves yellow in the water and you need to flush 2-3 times on full flush for number 2's!!!

Great loo – We have just had 2 of these toilets installed and they are fantastic. So great not having a rim. And I love the soft close lid. Totally worth the price that we paid.

Only good for very tall family – As per the first review. Good design with no rim so no need for toilet duck anymore and yes it hide the inlet and outlet pipe. One very important flaw is that the height of the toilet is approx 30mm higher than most toilet. I'm 175cm and it ok but not ideal but missus and especially kids find it terrible to use. Now I need to search for another toilet for replacement and finding one that enclosed the inlet and outlet pipe will be very hard.

A sleek design to modernise a bathroom – The Caroma clean flush system has no rim in the basin, hence easier to clean, the soft close lid and back to the wall feature enhance the bathroom design by hiding the inlet and outlet pipes. Not cheap but well worth the $873 we paid. Caroma's website have a rrp of $998.
