I've used Fluidmaster before and generally I'm ok with the quality. I agree with the review that the instructions are not the best or easiest to follow if you have never done this before. If you have not done this before, you probably want to find someone who has to save you some headaches. But, I needed to replace the original inards to our toilet in our current house, cheap contractor stuff that just failed, but was also leaking into the bowl. I figured since I have to replace the gasket to flush valve I'll replace everything since it's a relatively new house, so I bought the complete "universal" set. This, I will not do again.
The flush valve gasket is NOT UNIVERSAL, it leaked like hell when I put everything back together. I disconnected three times before it occured to me what the problem was, I shut everythng down went to the store and purchased the specific gasket for my toilet (Gerber). Everything was fine after that.
But I will not believe the universal claim... Read more

When you have a house built, the contractors will put in toilets with the cheapest innards you've ever seen. My house came with Mansfield toilets. Old style float bulb garbage. Within a year the fill valve on 2 of them broke, so I decided to just buy all new innards for all of them, replace the plastic fill lines with steel braided ones - the works. So I bought the complete Fluidmaster kits.

The most striking thing about these kits is how absolutely TERRIBLE the instructions are. I'm a glutton for punishment, and this is FAR from my first home improvement job. I'm the guy people call to put things together. I have seen some bad instructions in my day, but nothing as bad as these. One big sheet, English in the front, Spanish on the back.

Now the job isn't that hard if you've done it a few times; but there are some steps that you cannot skip without making a royal mess. There is no emphasis added on those steps, everything is treated the same. The "helpful"... Read more

I purchased 2 of these in January 2011, for about $17 each. We were having issues with one of our toilets, the flapper didn't seal properly so it was slowly leaking water into the tank, which meant it would refill every few minutes or so. We decided to go ahead and replace the parts on both toilets. I had no problem whatsoever installing these. A lot of the bad reviewers say its impossible to do it by yourself and others say the instructions are bad. The instructions show pictures on one side, labeled with numbers, then on the right hand side, those numbers have the written our directions. I don't see how anyone is confused unless they are just looking at just the picture and not bothering to read the actual instructions. They are very straight forward.
The overflow pipe did need to be cut, but that will depend on how tall your toilet tank is. It cut very easily with a small hand saw. The flapper is much heavier than the one we had installed previously, and it opens and shuts... Read more
