Test report 6: We will recommend the Hygiene Champion!

Miriam Roßkoth

What I especially like is firstly that we now have a more hygienic WC and secondly that I save so much time when cleaning. The open flushing rim and the Quick Release feature help the most. The CeramicPlus surface also ensures that the WC stays clean longer. You can see that because there are hardly any concealed places.

Our conclusion: The Hygiene Champion has passed the test in all respects with flying colours. We will definitely recommend the WC!

Test report 5: From the flushing rim to Quick Release – what’s most impressive?

Miriam Roßkoth

Recently when our grandmother visited us, I showed her the new WC and everything it can do. She was immediately enthusiastic. She especially liked the Quick Release feature.

Our chef Christian found it great that it has an open flushing rim. Of course, we pointed out to our visitors that we have a new WC, which generated interest and we showed the innovations. Everyone was impressed by the features and handling and thought they were a significant improvement compared to conventional WCs. Reactions were also positive about its look.

The greatest benefit.

I think the greatest benefit is that there is no longer a closed flushing rim. This is very closely followed by the Quick Release feature. Most complain about exactly these two points as a hygienic deficit in their own homes. Most have attached more importance to the price in connection with the look up to now. Some were also unaware that WCs can differ so much especially in the field of hygiene.

Test report 4: We have a considerably greater sense of well-being!

Miriam Roßkoth

Now that we know less dirt can “hide”, it goes without saying that we feel better and more confident about WC hygiene. Once I have cleaned the WC in the morning, I can easily allow spontaneous visitors to use the bathroom during the day without having to worry about the cleanliness of the WC. What a pity that our guest WC is still not a Hygiene Champion ;-). That’s something that will need to be upgraded.

As concerns the cleaning agents, I can also clean the Hygiene Champion with a neutral cleaner. I no longer need the chlorine cleaner, which is also important to me for the sake of the environment. All in all, we have a much greater sense of well-being when going to the Hygiene Champion compared to our previous WC.

Test report 3: Easy to clean thanks to CeramicPlus and Quick Release

Miriam Roßkoth

In a direct comparison, the test liquid remained over a large-area on the ceramic of our second WC, like a film.

In the Hygiene Champion, it beaded off very quickly and was completely rinsed off after one flush. Cleaning is easier thanks to this “bead-off effect” because firstly not so much dirt builds up and secondly the existing dirt is easier to remove.

Especially enthusiastic about Quick Release

I find the Quick Release feature sensational! Every time when cleaning I’ve always wished for a removable WC seat. Anyone cleaning a WC themselves is familiar with the problem and the “fiddly business” of cleaning with the cloth underneath the fixed, opened lid and seat. The Quick Release feature now makes it possible to clean on a flat surface in a hygienic way.


Test report 2: Effortless cleaning and no more contorted manoeuvres

Miriam Roßkoth

The usual signs of use appear inside the bowl and on the rim but they can be removed effortlessly. No deposits are visible underneath the rim, not even with the glove test. The fact that the entire inner bowl is flushed means from the outset that fewer deposits get left behind in the bowl. During cleaning, the dislodged particles are washed away in a single flushing process.

Visibly cleaner

The Hygiene Champion makes it much easier to see if dirt has accumulated anywhere. There are hardly any places that are completely concealed as in conventional WCs under the flushing rim. If you really wanted to make sure that everything was clean, you always had to check with a cloth and some sport-like contortions whether there were still deposits under the flushing rim. You could only see them on the cloth. And then you had to continue cleaning. That's the work I liked least. That is considerably better with the Hygiene Champion.

Simply a better feeling

The design of the Subway 2.0 with DirectFlush and especially the open flushing rim makes all the areas where dirt can accumulate visible. This immediately gives you a better feeling as you can see directly that everything is clean. Until now, this was something you could only assume with a closed flushing rim.

When cleaning our second WC with a closed flushing rim I use a cleaning agent containing chlorine. I spray it underneath the rim and hope it removes the dirt at places where I cannot reach with a brush and cloth. For wiping or cleaning the rest of the bathroom I otherwise use a neutral cleaner. As regards the WC, I was always concerned it is not enough. That is no longer the case with the Hygiene Champion. Inside you can see wonderfully that everything is clean and the smooth surface also makes cleaning the outside easier and quicker than before.


Test report 1: The hygiene champion makes a great first impression!

Miriam Roßkoth

When the new toilet came it was quickly and professionally installed. It is great to sit on and I love the fact that it is rimless! At the very first glance, you can see how the water rolls off much differently than in our previous toilet. The first thing we noticed about our new toilet relative to the old one was the modern and contemporary design of Subway 2.0. The round and simple form is just what we wanted. The fact that there is no difficult-to-clean rim is another huge advantage over our previous toilet.

We really like the Soft-Close seat and lid as well - everybody knows the ungodly din of a toilet lid falling shut. Another great aspect is the lack of dips and depressions where filth can gather - the smooth surface looks very easy to keep clean. As our surface mounted sink is from Villeroy & Boch, the toilet is a perfect fit for our bathroom. The thing I am most looking forward to is letting the lid drop without any loud noise and the easy cleaning. Maybe even my husband will pick up a toilet brush.
