We picked this one up on Amazon as I had already bought one from another store and didn't realize that all three ere going to go out around the same time period. This price to this was comparable to other stores and with the convenience that I didn't have to go pick it up.
Installation was a breeze. Turn off water, flush, and disconnect the water line. I did have to adjust the height slightly to make the fill hose align more correctly, but that's easily accomplished with this valve.
I can't tell that filling is any faster than my old valve, but I will say it's much quieter! My old valves still worked, but were causing my toilet to run occasionally and also had a random "groan" occasionally. Now there's no running and they're all nice and quiet.
Pro-tip: Make sure you don't also need a flapper to go along with the valve. I had one flapper that was pretty deformed and was causing the toilet to run. (The valve still needed to be replaced to fix the loud groans though).
Overall, pretty happy with this buy. Super easy to install and solved my problem. Hopefully I can get another 6 years out of this before having to replace again.
What is there to say, basically you use Fluidmaster or you live to regret it. These things are not programmed to wear out in a few years but chemicals and mineral deposits and such make them last about a minimum of 3-5 years or as many as 7 depending on your water conditions and they are simple to replace and easy to adjust. I tried a few other brands over the years and have always come back to these for simplicity of installation and quality of workmanship.
Once they start going bad you can solve some problems by flushing them out (instructions for doing this are in the box) but they are so inexpensive and easy to install it is usually just as easy to replace it.
Pretty much finished trying other brands so this is what I buy every time and I keep 1 in my closet for emergencies and replace it when I have to use it. Always have one on hand these days.
NOTE/WARNING: Almost all of the problems I have read about in other reviews come down to 3 things because after 26 years, 2 houses and 6 toilets these things do NOT fail in less than 3-5 years (time depending on your water and a variety of random things):
Make SURE your float arm or the arm attached to your handle is not binding on anything when you put the cover on
If they have been working on water lines in your area, chances are that some trash has been sent down the line that can stop/slow this valve (the flushing procedure is in the box that may help this)
Using almost ANY "drop in" type cleaner will shorten the life of this or any other flush valve, don't use them!
There have been people asking why this one and not the 400A, I have attached a chart to show what you are paying for with those few dollars
NOTE: If you wish to reduce your chances of a leak, turn your water off for the house and not the supply line at the toilet. These valves have been sitting there usually for years and when you turn the water off and then back on many times they WILL leak at least for a few hours or more, if you turn the water supply off outside you will avoid this possible problem. If the toilet water supply valve has been used in the recent past without problem this can be ignored.

Where this valve really excels is the rapid refill time. Timing from when I pull the flush handle, it takes just 25 seconds until the valve shuts off. I didn't time my old Fluidmaster valve, but twice as fast would not be an exaggeration — it's the fastest refilling time I've ever seen on a regular 1.6 GPF tank-style toilet. (I suppose you could also say that makes it the quietest, because any noise lasts for such a short time.)
IMPORTANT — Take the time to adjust the refill tube control slider. The idea is for the toilet bowl to reach its proper fill level at exactly the same time the tank is filled. If the toilet bowl fills before the tank fill valve shuts off you will waste water. With a bit of trial end error you'll find the perfect position for the slider. Fortunately, it won't take long to do this, because the tank refills so fast!
The Fluidmaster 400ARHR High Performance Toilet Fill Valve is an ideal replacement for any standard toilet fill valve. It's well designed, inexpensive, easy to install, works great, and saves water. I might even call it "perfect".
