Cersanit DELFI Leon

Rating: 8 out of 10
average price - from 7800 r.
The installation of the Polish company Cersanit gained popularity, primarily due to the price. For German manufacturers, one installation costs the same as Cersanit’s entire kit. Despite the plastic elements and not very reliable mounting, there are very few complaints about the quality of the installations (claims to the toilet bowls are much more common). The biggest trouble can arise if the tank mechanism breaks down - it is not easy to find components, it will be easier to replace the entire tank. The best option for those who want a suspended toilet, but not ready to pay 12-15 thousand for the installation.
From the reviews of the installation for the toilet Cersanit DELFI Leon:
“Great design! I forgot 5 years ago and forgot! ”
“I am very pleased with Kersanit products. It is important to choose the wizard that will install and configure you. ”
“He has been serving us for 3 years, the drain system has never broken. The strength of the toilet itself is good, more than once heavy objects fell on it (by chance) and there are no cracks or chips. ”
Pros:
- affordable price.
Minuses:
- 24 cm studs (not suitable for any bathroom);
- plastic adapters to a folding frame;
- the button of plum can fall;
- There may be problems finding parts.

From the reviews about the installation for the toilet Wisa 8050:
“I can assure you that the construction is not killed. Not only does it weigh so much that two peasants had to install, megasteal, a full impression is created so that the toilet is attached to the frame so that it simply “sticks” into this frame the more it gets. I calmly use it as a stool when I get something from the upper shelves. ”

Summary: Which installation is better for the toilet?
Although the very idea of installing a suspended toilet is gaining popularity, not many installation manufacturers are still represented on our market. The undoubted leaders are Grohe, Geberit. Less known TESE, Viega, Wisa also produce high quality products, but service problems may arise. If you want to save money, experts recommend to buy Cersanit or Ideal (the last manufacturer has a very limited range).
