Some users noted that the button on the tank is hard pressed and often sticks, also yellow streaks and small cracks appear in the bowl over time, in which dirt accumulates. The color of the toilet bowl in reality does not have such a snow-white hue as in the pictures in the catalog. Many users believe that the ratio of price and quality of Turkish toilets of this brand is unequal.
