Bottom Line
The KOHLER Cachet ReadyLatch Elongated Toilet Seat is an easy way to improve your bathroom by reducing noise when you close the seat, making cleaning easier, and with less work in the install process. While this product has many positive features such as a soft-close function, quick-release hinge system, and ready latch mount, there can be trade-offs as some consumers have stated they feel like these products are made from lighter materials compared to the old style heavy duty toilet seat products.
