Hello,

Over the past few years, I have been renovating a granny flat in my house and am now at the stage of selecting products for the bathroom. (It is a small bathroom with only 4sqm (43 sqft).)

At first, I was leaning towards a rimless toilet from Villeroy & Boch (Subway 3.0), including a matching vanity cabinet from the same series. The concealed cistern is from Geberit. I already have the shower, and the faucets and mixer for the shower will probably be Hansgrohe.

However, I have recently come across several online reviews criticizing the Subway 3.0 from Villeroy & Boch. Allegedly, it does not flush thoroughly; a lot tends to remain, and repeated flushing is often necessary. Splashing and complicated water volume adjustments on the cistern, just to get it to function reasonably well, were also frequently mentioned.

A plumber friend said, based on his experience, Duravit toilets rarely have issues, but of course, that is just one opinion.

Therefore, my question is: Are there people here who have long-term experience with rimless toilets from current product ranges and could share their feedback? If there are also good experiences with washbasins / mirrored cabinets, those would be welcome too, although due to space constraints, they may only be 50/55 or 60cm (20/22 or 24 inches) wide.

Regards,
Andre

Geberit Icon in the current house and previously in the apartment.

Overall, very good experience with it – it can happen that small water droplets splash out (forward, under the toilet seat). However, this is negligible for me, so I have stayed with this model.

Here is the icon as well. No issues, the important thing is that a flow restrictor is installed.

Ok, thanks for the answers. I've read about Geberit quite often. It will probably be one of those in the end... Has anyone had bad experiences with the Geberit Icon?

I’ll mention Roca again. I am very satisfied with it.

First, I would have chosen a rimless toilet from Villeroy & Boch (Subway 3.0).

I had a different model installed and experienced the same problem.
Flushing multiple times or the water turns dark shortly afterwards.
