American Standard 5503A00B.020 Transitional Slow-Close Toilet Seat, White

The previous, original toilet seat on our American Standard Cadet toilet broke outright near the left hinge point after about 10 years of use. This was NOT a slow close lid. The new one is. Neither of them have a feature allowing quick detachment for cleaning like the more expensive lids do. I was quite surprised to see the old seat broken but, in truth, my wife was sitting on top of the lid, not the seat, drying herself after a bath when it happened. She said it suddenly twisted then broke and she almost fell to the floor. She's average height and weight. Regardless the manufacturer may have something to say like: Please don't sit on top of the lid, it's not designed for that. And I would agree with that. I expect that she leaned to one side or the other, while drying herself, and the feet under the lid slipped sideways causing the twist. The torque on the hinge would have been huge even for a person weighing 140 pounds so I don't blame the manufacture for this. I took a good look at the replacement I ordered and the plastic is much thicker around the hinge points so perhaps the manufacturer noticed and improved the design and hopefully this one won't break. The feet under the lid and seat also seem stickier than on the old one so twisting due to shifting weight seems less likely. I'll give it 5 stars for now :)

輸入住宅のため 色々なものが入手に手間が掛かります。 高いですが、 ネットで手軽に購入できて有難いです。

Honestly, this seat feels way more sturdy than I expected. The slow-close feature is smooth and quiet, no loud slamming which I really like. Install was quick and easy, didn’t take long at all. It fits perfectly and looks clean in the bathroom. Overall, it’s a simple but solid upgrade, definitely worth it.

Resistente y me encanta su cierre silencioso

The good: I'm quite surprised that the seat is a perfect fit for the bowl and is very easy to install. It appears to be sturdy enough to withstand years of use. The lid and the seat close nice and soft which is quite important for us. Now the bad: Some other brands have silicone bumpers under the seat which prevent noise when someone sits down on it. This one doesn't. You can experience the noise if you watch the video. I can't see any ugly with it but the bumpers are quite important for us. Hope this helps you make an educated decision.
