Can you just push the lever and release and it will flush? Or does it need to be held down to make a full flush for solids?

I would like to add that it will flush easily if you have the "sweet spot" on the chain for the flapper. I had to replace my flapper (and the lever because the plastic inside broke) and didn't get the right spot on the chain the first time so we had to hold the lever down for much longer. So, if you ever have to replace the flapper, make sure you note where on the chain the previous one was attached so you can match it.

I have had the toilet for about 2 weeks now... I just push the lever, release it, and it flushes. I've never held it down.. Everything has always disappeared.

3 Years ago - we had the floor replaced in our main bath -- and I made the decision to keep our old toilet -- since it was functioning fine.. I now regret that decision - as approx. 1 month ago the toilet started to occasionally not get everything down without multiple flushes.. Looking back -- since out old toilet used 3 gallons per flush and this one uses 1.6 gallons -- I should have just done it 3 years ago..

In my experience, it's hard NOT to get a complete--and very effective--flush whenever you push the lever. This thing is FAST. It's hard to explain the difference in the way it works, but there's nothing gradual about the way it flushes, and I still can't believe that it takes less than 1.6 gallons to flush everything down.

Hi Julie. If you hold the handle for approximately 2 seconds it will flush solid waste. It is not like older toilets where you are holding the handle for 5 seconds or longer hoping and waiting for the waste to circle the toilet bowl. I wrote my review about 2 years ago and I have had no issues with these Toto toilets.

This toilet flushes very easily and efficiently with a simple,quick push of the lever. I've had the toilet for several months and am very pleased.

Yes you just push the lever as usual and it fully flushes. One of the things I like is that the water in the bowl flushes right down. It doesn't flush up and around the bowl leaving germs up there--it flushes right straight down. Then water comes out all around the upper bowl and it flushes down too, leaving the bowl very clean. Have never had a problem with anything not going right away. And we have had this with another toilet where we even had to get the plunger out n work on getting it all flushed. Can't say enough about how satisfactory this Toto toilet is. No we're not getting paid for this! Yes you just push the lever as usual and it fully flushes.

Make sure you push the lever all the way down while holding the soap dish against the wall. It took a bit of 'muscle power' for me to do.

The latch has two notches for the latching lever that runs horizontal. First one is normal operation. Second one slides it over and "Locks" it into the jamb of the latch that attaches to the post.. I think there is also a spot to throw a pad lock on there so that it can't be slid back out and unlocked.

Don't know you have to hand pump to build pressure then pull a handle to flush it is a very simply made porta potty.

Yes. You just hold down on the pedal with your foot and it stays up no problem. We are very happy with this trash can.

You only need to pull down/forward or pull to right. You don't push the handle back at all.

With one hand I put the can in place, and with the other hand, I push on the level to lock it into place. Then I let go of the can (you are not supposed to hold it), I push down the lever until it's done. If you can push down on the level with your arm (it's a big lever so it would not be uncomfortable), then I think it could be done.

You have to manually push it down. But I assume you have already tried that and it didn't work.

No, this should hold it flush tight. Check that the four screws holding the circular metal plate to the front of the base are tight. This is what holds the locking mechanism on, so if the screws are loose, the locking mechanism will be as well. You should also take this apart from time to time and clean it, as juice can sometimes overflow and build up as a sticky mess back there (to keep this from happening, don't press your produce through as forcefully - the motor will do the work just fine).

In retrospect I would have gotten a foot pedal. The hand pedal works well but it means you are bending over the toilet when you flush it. It has a great rinsing system that will spray at you...Not great if you are bending over the toilet. I have been pleased with the unit but that is my input on the hand lever.

NO, it must go straight down. Rails on both sides prevent sideways waste. You could go backwards if needed.

There are no levers to release. It works smoothly and I have never had any trouble with them.

Hello Heidi,You unscrew the round small top. Its right in the top left side if you are looking directly at picture. It says on it bio=push. Unscrew the top and I use soft soap in it. It will only hold a small amount. But that's all you need for quite a few flushes. I probably fill it about once a week. But, for sure it will unscrew!

Once you cock it with under lever, chamber opens on top. Wont fire until chamber closed again. Pulling trigger with chamber open wont slam chamber closed

No. You hold the wand and just push the lever forward. It has 2 or 3 positions. Slow, medium, or full strength

I have two different versions of this model and I'm very happy with them. If you just flush it might not release a full force of water. If you hold the hand down, however, it seems to provide much more force of water. Try holding it down. You could also call American Standard and talk to them for some advice.

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.
