Test report 6: Still enthusiastic as ever!

Stefanie Langhammer

After an intensive test phase, including a subsequent improvement - which was totally unproblematic, we are still enthusiastic as ever! I am absolutely overwhelmed with the service provided, too. I shall check whether this great WC seat also fits our floorstanding WC. I can only recommend paying attention to quality, even when you're choosing a WC - it really is worthwhile! I would definitely buy it! 

We tested a nice loo, 
because that's a good thing to do.

We looked at and measured it,
we sat on it and flushed it,

We took photos and made videos
and often had a laugh.

We asked visitors about it
and even dared to clean it without cleaning agents.

And finally I would like to say:
'Thank you Villeroy & Boch!'

Test report 5: My girlfriend also thinks the hygiene champion is great!

Stefanie Langhammer

At home, we've got separate bathrooms for the men and ladies. Our new Subway 2.0 with DirectFlush is installed in the men's WC. Us ladies are also going there during the hygiene champ test phase. When she visited us recently I really had to prompt her to use it as she is accustomed to using the ladies' WC. She had a closer look at it and, as the owner of a caretaker and cleaning service, was rather impressed. "If more people had such a WC, we would need less cleaning agents and much less time! The solution with the rim is great - you can't imagine what you sometimes find underneath!" she said. My mum is particularly impressed with the lid and Quick Release function!  So our new gem in the bathroom has also won over our visitors!

Test report 4: Tiresome wiping around the WC seat fastening is now a thing of the past!

Stefanie Langhammer

The Quick Release function is great! We often have lots of hairs flying about here. From the dog (and they are black) or from my daughter and myself - long, very long hairs. They fall out now and again and lie in the bathroom in addition to nasty house dust and other fluff. And of course on the rim of the WC. This tiresome business of wiping around the WC seat fastening is now a thing of the past. It has never been so easy! Simply pull the WC seat off diagonally and a quick wipe over the ceramic - finished! That is great!

Cleaning is generally much easier. Of course there are a few deposits here and there, but they are easy to remove. In addition, I have also tested the DirectFlush system by throwing quite a bit of toilet paper into the WC and flushing it – you can see the result in the video.

Test report 3: Satisfied and convinced by the service

Stefanie Langhammer

Recently, while I was doing my weekly cleaning at home our dog Rocky must have thought: “Uh, what is my mistress up to - I thought you weren't allowed to put your nose so close to the WC!?” Well, he was completely correct on that point. But firstly this is no longer a problem with the Hygiene Champion and secondly I needed to take a closer look at something. I had noticed that the WC seat was not resting entirely on the ceramic.

I contacted Villeroy & Boch immediately and they took care of it straight away. The installer got in touch with me a short time later and said: "Good morning Mrs Langhammer, I have an express delivery for you!" Two hours later he was already there. My mum received him, and when I came home in the afternoon, everything was already finished. If my mum hadn’t told me that the installer had been, you would not have realised it. Now I have a seat that rests perfectly – just as it should be!

Comfortable and clean – even after children's birthday parties

I should explain the bathrooms in our home are separated by gender. My husband also fully agreed to relax this rule during the test phase. Now he’s starting to worry that things will remain that way and we girls will continue to use his bathroom where the new Subway 2.0 is installed. He’s quite right to have these concerns – I do find the new WC very comfortable.

On Saturday we had a children's birthday party here. This was also not a problem - even without the use of cleaning detergents. Thanks to the AntiBac coating, I now no longer have to disinfect the WC. This is something I still need to get used to as I would otherwise do that every week.

All in all: We are still satisfied and convinced by the service!

Test report 2: I am amazed how easy it is to clean!

Stefanie Langhammer

Recently, if someone has come to visit they have of course been given a presentation of our new WC. Our friends are also impressed by how stylish it looks. Even after using it, nothing negative could be said. The surface is still very pleasant and smooth.

As regards cleaning: even dried deposits are easy to remove, all it takes is the use of a sponge cloth. I am amazed how easy it is because I do not use any cleaning detergents. The fact that almost nothing adheres to the surface is demonstrated by the test with the blue liquid. It beads off well and all deposits are also removed after flushing.

Quick Release is extremely practical

The easy to remove WC seat is also great. Our dog has black fur and the hairs tend to fly around in the bathroom, so the seat with the Quick Release feature is very helpful to me.
 
During installation it came to light that our previous WC was leaking slightly. We had not noticed this because of the surrounding silicone edge. Occasionally there had been a slight odour in the bathroom though. With the new Hygiene Champion any leak would now be immediately noticeable as the transition from the WC to the pipe is more or less free, but not visible at first glance due to the shape. I think this is much better.


Test report 1: A commendation to the new WC and the installer

Stefanie Langhammer

The day of installation finally arrived: At nine o'clock exactly, as agreed, the installer from Villeroy&Boch rang on the doorbell. A very nice gentleman came up the stairs holding a tool box, a sheet and a WC seat. Before entering the front door, he put on shoe covers. He insisted on doing so, even when I said that I had not cleaned today and he should just come in. He spread out the sheet on which he put his work materials and got immediately to work on removing the old WC bowl. He then took measurements. We had already had an older model from Villeroy&Boch fixed to the wall and their WCs all have a standardized standard size – so fitting was no problem! He ran down the stairs and came back with our new WC – a Subway 2.0. He unpacked it in front of the apartment door and then fitted the beautifully shaped, new hygienic WC Everything was connected and worked perfectly.

Installed as if by magic

I must really praise the technician again. He was extremely pleasant and professional, got used to our humour after a few minutes and made friends with our dog. Installation was amazingly quick. He then cleared away his work materials and took the rubbish with him, leaving the bathroom in a clean state. He also explained a few points to us. We don't need to use as many cleaning products? Really? Yes, we should test it for ourselves! After an hour you could not even see that a technician had been there. Perfect!

Ultra comfortable and everything is shiny

We have not done any thorough cleaning for the last week. And today: one wipe with the brush and everything shines bright white again! As regards the sitting feeling, I have to say the seat feels very smooth and somehow soft. You sit very comfortably indeed.
