Simple Project sells vanities, shower doors and medicine cabinets like everyone else. The toilets are the reason to look at it.
The catalogue includes SNFLEX macerating systems for rooms where gravity drainage won’t work, ELEMAZ toilets with 21-inch seats, a corner toilet with a triangular tank, and a toilet with a washbasin on the tank lid. We compared listed prices, warranty and return terms, and customer reviews against products from Saniflo, Convenient Height and American Standard. We haven’t tested any of them.
Our view: Simple Project is worth a look when you need a fixture the big brands don’t make, or make at much higher prices. For these products you should check dimensions, warranty wording and return terms before ordering.
SNFLEX macerating toilet
A macerating toilet grinds waste and pumps it through a narrow pipe. That helps when reaching a normal drain would mean major plumbing work, as in many basements.
The 600W SNFLEX is $659. The company rates it for up to 29 feet of vertical and 295 feet of horizontal discharge, with a 1.28/0.8 gallon dual flush. It can also take a sink, shower, tub or washing machine on the same pump. Those figures are Simple Project’s own, and we haven’t verified them.
The obvious rival is the Saniflo Saniaccess 3. SanifloStore, an authorized distributor, sells the round-bowl kit for $1,396.05. It lists a 0.5 HP motor, 15 feet vertical and 150 feet horizontal, access panels for servicing, a four-year limited warranty, and posted CSA and IAPMO certificates. So the SNFLEX costs less than half as much.
The cheaper option isn’t automatically the better one. Saniflo’s certifications are posted for anyone to read, while Simple Project’s longer pumping distances rest on its own say-so. Warranties differ too. The SNFLEX page promises two years on the ceramic and one on the pump, against Saniflo’s four.
The 21-inch toilets
The ELEMAZ 21-inch round is $339, and the elongated versions start around $269. The company aims them at tall people, seniors and anyone who struggles to stand from a standard seat. The warranty is one year.
On Home Depot, a Simple Project 21-inch model has 56 reviews, a 4.3 average and a 60% recommend rate . A verified buyer liked the toilet but disliked the seat and said the handle had to be held down.
The main specialist is Convenient Height. Its Model S is $399 with free shipping, a 20¾-inch rim, 21¾ inches to the top of the seat, a 1.28/0.9 GPF dual flush and a three-year warranty. At Home Depot it has 329 reviews, a 4.4 average and an 83% recommend rate . Simple Project wins on price. Convenient Height wins on track record and warranty.
“ADA Height” isn’t ADA height
Simple Project titles the round ELEMAZ an “ADA Height Toilet.” Its own spec lists a 19.9-inch bowl and a 21-inch seat height. The federal ADA Standards (section 604.4) put the top of the seat between 17 and 19 inches above the floor. A 21-inch seat is over that limit.
That doesn’t make a tall toilet a bad idea. But if your bathroom has to meet ADA dimensions, extra-tall and ADA-compliant are different things.
SKIFLEX corner toilet
The SKIFLEX is $319 with a triangular tank that tucks into a corner. Simple Project lists a 17.2-inch seat, 12-inch rough-in, elongated bowl and dual flush.
The comparison is American Standard’s Triangle Cadet PRO at $477.75: corner tank, elongated bowl, 1.28 GPF, 12-inch rough-in, seat around 17 inches. That’s a gap of about $159. When we looked, American Standard’s white version showed as out of stock.
Reviews support the space-saving pitch. One Trustpilot buyer used it in a small basement powder room and called it a great fit. Another got it quickly. A verified buyer said the lid didn’t sit snugly, and Simple Project replied with an installation video. Check the seat and hardware before you install.
The toilet with a sink on top
The $459 model puts a ceramic basin on the tank lid, with a 12-inch rough-in, elongated bowl, faucet and hose included . According to Simple Project, the faucet has its own supply, and basin water drains into the tank for the next flush.
It earns its place in a bathroom too small for a separate sink. Where there’s room for both, a regular toilet and basin is the better choice.
What customers say
Trustpilot shows 86 reviews and a 4.5 score, with 83% five-star and 6% one-star. Trustpilot notes that Simple Project invites customers to review, so read the headline score with that in mind.
Praise centers on fast delivery and helpful support. One buyer’s pump arrived broken from rough handling and a replacement came within three days. Complaints include a toilet that arrived cracked and leaking (Simple Project asked for photos and offered a replacement), a loose lid, a seat one reviewer called badly made, and a one-star review saying damaged items were never answered. We also saw reports of a broken mirror and of dimensions that didn’t match the website.
Our reading is that support is a strength and component quality is less consistent.
Trustpilot lists the company’s contact address in Shenzhen, China. Products ship from US warehouses, and returns go to Georgia.
“30-Day Free Returns”
Simple Project advertises this on every product page. The returns policy is narrower. Returns must start within 30 days of delivery and need approval first. Items must be unused and in original packaging. Used items, items with installation marks and discounted bundles are excluded.
If you send something back for personal reasons, you pay return shipping, restocking, interception and any other fees, and those come out of your refund. Simple Project pays only when the item arrives damaged, defective or wrong. With a ceramic toilet, return shipping is a real cost.
Side by side
| Type | Simple Project | Main comparison | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Macerating | SNFLEX 600W, $659; claims 29 ft vertical / 295 ft horizontal; 2-yr ceramic, 1-yr pump | Saniaccess 3 round kit, $1,396.05; 15 ft / 150 ft; 4-yr warranty | Far cheaper; Saniflo’s certifications and warranty are better documented |
| Extra-tall | ELEMAZ 21″, $269–$339; 1-yr warranty | Convenient Height Model S, $399; 21¾” to seat top; 3-yr warranty | Cheaper; Convenient Height has more reviews and a longer warranty |
| Corner | SKIFLEX, $319 | American Standard Triangle Cadet PRO, $477.75 | Same idea, lower price |
| Toilet/sink | $459 | No direct mainstream equivalent | Worth it when there’s no room for a basin |
Who should consider it
Don’t pick Simple Project just because a standard toilet is on sale. It gets interesting when the install is awkward: a basement without easy drainage, someone who wants a very tall seat, a tight bathroom that suits a corner tank, or a room with space for a toilet or a sink but not both.
Also be wary of the discounts. The site shows SNFLEX at 44% off a $1,179 “regular price,” and its fall sale ends October 25. Treat the sale price as the real price and compare on that.
Verdict
The best Simple Project products are the ones built for awkward spaces. The SNFLEX undercuts Saniflo by a wide margin, though with less documentation. The ELEMAZ range is cheap but carries a shorter warranty than Convenient Height, and its “ADA” label is misleading. The SKIFLEX is a low-cost corner option, and the sink-topped toilet suits very small bathrooms.
Measure the space, compare exact specs, save the warranty text shown on the product page, and work out what a return would cost you before you order.
