Moen YB2808CH Eva Pivoting Paper Holder, Chrome

Somehow I broke off the original holder I had so ordered this replacement. Exactly same model. Looks great. Installed easily.

Remodeled the bathroom and could not find some high-end looking towel rings / TP holders, etc at any of the local stores, so I went on Amazon.Spent quite some time searching on Amazon and found the Moen Eva collection. Phenomenal quality, look, and value. Highly recommended. See Moen YB2886CH for the towel ring that matches. Very functional and matches the faucet designs in both the shower and sink.

I am happy with this product. You can feel the weight in your hand when you mount it, it feels strong (not cheap). The chrome is really nice. It has a deep shine. I like the way the arm stays in place, but with a little pressure can be adjusted for smaller or larger rolls of paper. The hook part isn't round. It has a ridge that holds the paper roll very well.I also like the Delta Lahara pivoting paper holder in my Master Bath, but I think that pivot could be confusing in a guest bath. If a guest needs to replace the roll, it should be simple. The pivot in my master WC is so discreet that it isn't clear how to remove the roll. With its hook shape, this Moen Eva TP Holder is beautiful, functional, and easy to refill.The Moen EVA Towel ring is about 8" in diameter so it stuck out beyond the edge of a short section of wall, but this Toilet Paper Holder is only 7" & fits perfectly. I actually like the way the flat bar holds my towel better than a ring. I ordered several, 2 for Toilet Paper Holders and 2 for towel holders in one of our bathrooms (I had room for the towel ring on the other wall, but wanted them to match). I don't have the special Moen installation tool with the levelling bubble, but it isn't needed because these only require one hole. I also didn't use the screw with plastic insert provided because I mounted these directly in wood studs. As Moen claims, mounting these is super fast, but you need to be careful to get the little lines on the plastic circle exactly horizontal before you press the spikes into the wall, otherwise the hook will end up crooked.The instructions say not to overtighten the screw. It doesn't need to be very tight because the metal spikes keep the hook from rotating. However, I was mounting it into a wooden stud and my electric screwdriver can be a bit overzealous.. I ended up putting a #8 washer between the wall and the back of the black plastic mounting piece because I did not use their white plastic sleeve. That sleeve sits on top of the wall and there is a depression on the back of the black plastic piece to accommodate it. The washer filled that space and ensured that I could tighten the screw without cracking the plastic.

Install super easy - one hole in wall, looks clean. Solid quality. Super easy to replace roll of paper (believe it or not, it's so easy to do I actually do it instead of putting new roll on toilet for woman to handle later). Just one of those little nuances but hey. If the corner is toward the toilet no problem with roll coming off. Like it a lot, bought another for the other bathroom.

This product lasted about four months before the handle that holds the toilet paper started falling completely off. It’s so bad now that I can’t get the handle to stay on at all. It’s going in the trash!

Wow! Quality is outstanding! We were worried that this was going to be an ugly plastic coated thang, but instead is was all metal except for the part that attaches to the wall which was plastic. We added glue to the back of the plastic piece to help it stay in place on the wall. Along with the toggle bolt that it came with. Honestly the part that holds it probably didn't need glue but we wanted it to stay in place over the long haul.

The holder itself is a very nice design. It’s unique and looks nice in the guest bath. Although the new installation system was fast and easy, the part that connects to the wall pulls away about an eighth of an inch and does not lay flat/flush against the wall. So far it’s fine but I worry that over time and with use the whole thing may not be held securely enough and may fall off. Time will tell.

You just can't go wrong when you purchase moen products. I can't believe I'm saying this but my toilet paper holder makes a statement. I wanted my house to be different, and it starts with small details like this. Installation was a bit tricky, but so worth it. And this price rocks.
