Moen DN8424BN Inspirations 24-Inch Towel Bar, Brushed Nickel

For $14, you can't go wrong with this one. One thing...when I installed it at first the bar was able to rotate freely in the end caps. This made a metal on metal squeaking sound which was annoying. I took out the bar and wrapped each end of the bar with a little electrical tape. Little enough tape so that the end cap still covered the tape. Put the bar back in and it didn't rotate anymore. Perfect!

not as solid as the toilet paper holder even though its from the same design line this is more lightweight and doesn't feel as solid however for the price it does the job. Also the anchors that come with this product and all other moen inspiration products are junk, you will need to buy new anchors.

My wife and I recently moved, and with that move came a bathroom that needed updating. Having helped my parents build three bathrooms, but never having bought the supplies, I was pretty surprised to see that a decent towel bar/rail at Lowe's cost upwards of thirty dollars! My wife and I definitely did not want to spend $120 on all of our bathroom hardware, so I jumped on Amazon and found the Moen line of accessories.

PROS

Very reasonably priced

Looks very sharp

Quality is reasonable

Screws are hidden

Easily installed

CONS

Included template is not the best

Included anchors are junk

As far as the quality goes, I am pretty pleased. It is definitely as good if not better than what you will find at Target/Walmart, and better than anything you can find at Lowe's/HD at this price. Heck, the cheapest Lowe's offered was $9.99, and that was for an ugly composite "wooden" towel rail that weighed less than the ten dollar bill I would have paid for it with.

I would suggest throwing out the included template, and get out the old spirit-level and ruler. This will make for a much more accurate installation! I would also suggest picking up some of your own drywall anchors for this project, the included anchors are far from ideal and some better ones are cheaply purchased.

OVERALL

We love the look of this towel bar and when anchored properly to the wall, it feels very sturdy despite being made of aluminum. I would definitely recommend this product, however the buyer should be aware that at this price, you're only going to be getting the quality of something around $20-30 in brick-and-mortar stores. If you are looking for wallplates to match, I would highly recommend the BRAINERD 64209 Architectural Single Switch Wall plate and the BRAINERD 64234 Architectural Single Duplex Wall plate they are a touch darker than the Moen accessories, but overall go very well with everything!

I ordered this towel bar because I moved into a new house and the previous owners used this design in all three of the bathrooms. They however did not put in a towel bar in the master bath. So I wanted the matching one instead of replacing all the others.

The towel bar is lightweight, as is all of this set. With that being said, it hold up perfectly and I have had no problem with it falling down or the screw at the bottom coming loose(nor have I had any problems with any of the other products[toilet paper holders, hand towel ring, and other towel bars]).

Installation was a breeze, is was so simple and the template that they give you to tape on the wall was accurate and VERY helpful.

The price of this towel bar is good, I have seen family and friends purchase more expensive ones thinking that they would be better because they cost more, but in fact they were not enough better for the prices they paid and in some cases were much worse.

The only thing is it looks a little bit cheaper than what i found in the actual home depot store. also, i thought i was ordering "inspritations" to match what i got at HD but much cheaper on amazon. however, i received "Preston" line which looks a little cheaper, but only at a close glance. it worked out for us b/c we were able to swap one O-Ring and have everything within each bathroom match, but our original goal was to have the same ones in the whole house. now granted, no one will probably ever notice even if they were looking for it unless they're in the top 99 percentile of observant. the product itself could be 4 or 5 stars in my book, but out of principle i am not please that they advertised one line, and i was sent another.
