Moen CSI LR2352DCH Home Care 8-Inch Grab Bar with Integrated Toilet Paper Holder, Chrome

We have vacation rental properties and one of the things that happens often is the toilet paper holder is pulled out of the wall. Guests must use it as a grab bar (which a regular holder is not). This combo toilet paper holder/grab bar is the perfect solution. We are replacing any holder that gets pulled out of the wall with these!

Having this bar beside my toilet has helped me so much in rising. While Im healthy, my 80 year old knees arent what they once were, and I was having a bit of a struggle. I first saw this at my daughters house where they had just installed it in their downstairs guest bath at the request of my son-in-laws mother, who has a very difficult time getting up and down. I loved it, got the link from my daughter and immediately ordered it. It took a little planning on the part of my husband to get it in just the position I wanted, but once mounted (only one side in a stud) it is very, very sturdy. I got the brushed silver color and it looks lovely. I would highly recommend this Moen grab bar.

This has worked really well as a grab bar. My only objection is that I wish it would allow more room for the paper. During the pandemic, weve not had much choice in our paper and sometimes end up with the new fatter, shorter rolls. (who does Charmin think theyre kidding?) lol These fatter rolls rub the wall until the first 20 or so sheets are used. Other than that, it has worked fine.

Safety and style in a toilet tissue holder. As we get older, our balance is not always as good as it used to be. It’s good to have a safety bar that you can rely on when you need it. I installed mine right outside of my walk-in shower door, so when I step out of the shower I have the additional security of being able to grab this if I need it. I installed one in both bathrooms, and bought some for my son and daughter-in-law as well. I have recommended them to a number of my friends. Moen makes great products and the secure wall mounting system is without a doubt the best one made!!

If you have a small bathroom and need a grab bar, then is perfect! That’s what I originally bought one of the Omen’s for. Then after I looked at it installed, I decided to buy it for another bathroom that only had a paper holder and could benefit from a grab bar. Everyone loves the look and the functionality it provides.

The Moen LR2352DBN Grab Bar Toilet Paper Holder is sturdy and made from attractive grippy brushed nickel. I mounted mine on a wood sink cabinet by the toilet, so I was able to use a cheap 1-1/4 hole saw and an electric drill. If you are mounting to tile, you need an expensive diamond grit hole saw and some patience--or you can buy an inexpensive 1/8 glass cutting drill bit and drill a bunch of little holes in a circle and tap it out. I did this with another Moen support bar and it worked fine. The Moen kit comes with a clever plastic insert mounting system that allows mounting in blind spaces. The system is really neat--I had to play with it awhile just so I could marvel at its coolness. The insert is also quite large--make sure that you have space to mount this critter before you cut the hole! I had to cut it down a bit to fit another Moen support bar in the tub. I was slightly less impressed with the holder itself. It looks good, but I would 1. have made the toilet roll flange just a bit larger so the toilet roll is less prone to slipping off and 2. the toilet roll holder bar is not precisely parallel to the grab bar. Mine is bent several degrees down. No problems with function, its just Im a bit anal (snort!) about good engineering and manufacturing. Overall an attractive and useful dual-function unit. Four stars.

My husband has trouble with his knees and has difficulty getting up from the toilet. We bought this for our guest bathroom. We wanted something to help our friends with mobility problems, but we also did not want our house to look like a nursing home. We like the asthetics of this item and the functionality.

Product was as expected

Very easy to install, but it does request that you buy a round hole cutting bit to install the toggle bolt system. I was able to use a drywall knife and cut a hole on center that was level. It is very sturdy with one end in a stud and the other using the included anchoring system. There is a bit of a lip on the end where the paper is to be held, so installing it on a slight angle really isnt necessary to keep the roll in place.

I bought this years ago and it is still as strong as ever.
