Last spring I worked on a large HUD subsidized apartment complex rehab. The complex was supplying all the fixtures and we were just doing the installation.

When it came time to begin installing the water closets a 45ft trailer from Lowes showed up with 300 American Standard Cadets which Lowes normally retails at $49.95. Needless to say, I was a bit skeptical of those units for fear that we would never get away from this job with all the follow up problems those "cheapies" would create, but to my amazement we have not had a single call back on any of them.

Recently I happened to see the complex maintenance supervisor at the Plumbing supply store so I asked him how those units were working out. He says they have not had any problems with the exception of one unit which they had to replace because a tenant got drunk and kicked a tank and broke it.
