U by Moen smart shower review - 2 years later

In this video, I review the U by Moen smart shower valve after 2 years of daily use in my master bathroom. I describe all the features and test if it can hold the temperature when a toilet flushes while you're in the shower.

@@handydadtv I wouldn't recommend this to anyone the valve only last at max of 7 to 10 years. Then you have another giant outlay to replace it

[@handydadtv]

How can you say that? Based on your experience? Has it been invented that long?? I can only speak from my experience. It was a great two years that I had that valve before I moved.

I am getting ready to build my "Barndominium". The 60 x 60 building is already up. Now starts the home inside the building. I have been watching this Moen Smart Shower for a few years and have decided that since my wife and I both want different temperature setting, this is the way to go! Thanks for the video.

[@handydadtv]

I moved in July 2020 into a 3 year old house with a normal shower valve. It was hard going back. We miss it so much. I am seriously considering installing the U by Moen here. In case you haven’t seen the installation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2mqqHWZhrGGbpo

[@erronellington8800]

I have my tiles, curved tub and curved shower door ready for my major remodel but have been real iffy when it comes to deciding on getting the u by moen or a regular shower faucet. I am now sold on the u by moen thanks to you. This was a great review. I know this valve is meant for a shower but I tend to be good at making things work the way I want them to work so I will be adding some extra solenoid valves to the water circuit to make it work for the tub, wall shower head, overhead shower head and sprayer via voice control. Thank you once more for your honest review, it was very very much appreciated.

[@handydadtv]

I would love to see that when you’re done!

[@MrToucandream]

I have read some negative reviews but I suspect a large bit of the problem was due to improper installation. The fact that you were able to do this 2 years in really really helped me a lot. Will be placing my order next week along with all the other plumbing fixtures. We are almost two years after your review and just wondering if you still like it. Please tell me you do!

[@handydadtv]

I did this review right before selling the house. We miss it SO much! I’m in a brand new house but I’ve been contemplating doing a retrofit to install this valve here. It’s definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Thanks for the update, Chris. I will be starting my bathroom remodel soon. After watching your original video on this, I said "I want that!" But I live by myself and I started to rethink if that is where I want to spend my money. I finally changed my mind to stay with the conventional shower valve. Now that I've seen your new review and the lower price, it's back in the consideration phase. Thanks for the update. I hope that you are enjoying your new home!

[@handydadtv]

We moved in 2020 and miss this thing every day.

[@ericsmith7532]

Thanks for the video. I ended up purchasing one (Home Depot, online, $697 before tax for 2 valve unit). However, I offer this protip. I had the predecessor to this unit the Moen I/O. And, after 9 years, the valve unit failed. Called Moen. Buy it for looks, buy it for life? Yeah, well, the life of the technology. Moen discontinued the I/O series and, guess what, stopped supporting it. No valve or parts available. Now, if I had followed the directions and just run the control wire through the studs, I'd be screwed at this point. However, I'm a son of an engineer (damaged goods for sure) and I thought ahead. I ran the control wire through conduit and left a fish rope in the conduit. Yeah. So, I pulled a new wire for the U by Moen, had to re-do the plumbing, but got the thing in. Works. Whew. Sharing this because this model surely will be replaced by something else and y'all will need to pull a new wire at some point.

[@handydadtv]

That’s an excellent point!

[@hammouraby]

[@handydadtv]

It’s for human comfort, not a precision instrument. It won’t shut off if the hot water falls below your set temperature; the output will just get cold. If you’re playing with that, it could work for you.

Very helpful video - thanks. I’m starting a total $55K master bath remodel in 3 months (I have a very large bathroom). I want a smart shower, but the reviews are mixed. The MOEN appears to be the best of the bunch so if I do it, I will go with MOEN. My contractor has installed two of these and he knows what he is doing. He told me my hardware will need to be MOEN (is that correct)? If the system malfunctions, does this mean, you can’t turn on the shower?

[@handydadtv]

Couple of thoughts... $55k for a master bath? Wow that’s gonna be an awesome bathroom. Your contractor is wrong. The valve was the only Moen fixture in my bathroom. The shower head and body sprays were Delta. The system malfunctioned occasionally and the water wouldn’t turn on. Perhaps once a year. All you need to do is push and hold the power button on the keypad until it reboots (maybe 10-15 seconds). Then it’s fine for another year.

[@brentonwiberg9781]

I see you can add up to 4 outputs. Can you control the temperature for the outlets separately? For example if you and your spouse shower together and we have two rain heads. Can one be my preferred temp and theirs be another?

[@handydadtv]

No, they all output the same temperature.

[@bobbyblublan2441]

Good morning mr. HANDYDAD. I have another question.. with the U by Moen, do you need a diverter valve with the delta body sprays or the U by moen valves eliminates the need for diverted valves?

[@handydadtv]

The U acts as a temperature mixing valve AND a diverter. No need for anything else.

[@patricknedz]

What happens during power outage? Is there a way to manually turn on the shower?

[@handydadtv]

There is no manual override, but I highly recommend the battery backup because it lets you use the shower during power outages.

[@never2late2bgreat60]

I love your marble tiles! Any chance you remember what size they are? You did an amazing job!

[@handydadtv]

The wall tiles were 4x12, but I wouldn’t recommend Carrera marble. Get ceramic tiles that look like marble. Thank me later. Natural marble is too hard to clean because you can’t use any products with bleach. It was hard to keep clean.

[@pankajful]

Thank you! Quick question what happened in power outage?can you turn on the water manually?

[@handydadtv]

It has a battery backup option that I highly recommend. Otherwise the valve will shut off in the middle of a shower if the power goes out.

[@pankajful]

Thanks!

[@catherineacheson9075]

We are installing this with battery backup. My husband is thinking we should still keep installed our manual on/off controls and diverter in case this fails so we can turn the shower on. Do you see a need for this?

Maybe, if that’s the only shower in your house. But if you have another one, I wouldn’t bother.

Also, although the thing is cool, it’s worth mentioning that the screen is very low res (1990s tech) and the product does not appear to have improved at all in two+ years on the market.

@@handydadtv That is interesting because our Moen dealer said that each valve would only be able to have 2 body sprays per valve so we had to have a balanced pressure shower trim valve ordered to then have a manual handheld since the regular shower head will be on valve 1; the rain head would be on valve 2; and two body sprays would be on valve 3; and the remaining two body sprays would be on valve 4. Did you put all your 4 body sprays on a single valve? I only saw 3 sprays in your video, but you could have just been in the viewing line.

[@handydadtv]

@colonelshag I disagree. I used 3 body sprays and I only had 1/2” supply lines with the 2-port valve. Plenty of pressure. With the 4-port valve, you use 3/4” supply lines so you’ll have even more volume. I think you’ll be fine with four body sprays. Watch this to see how I handled the pressure balancing loop.

(Specs should be printed on the adapter.) If it's 12V DC (or less) I could probably get away without running this from an inverter.

[@handydadtv]

One controller will work. You can put both heads on simultaneously or independently. You could use the 4-port valve and have two on each side. Be sure you run 3/4” supply lines to the valve so you have enough pressure for all those heads. BTW, where’s the fun in separate showers? I mean, if you’re going to shower together, shower TOGETHER. Plus it’s more tile to clean!

[@abqjewel5055]

* My husband and I purchased our home about 6 months ago and remodeled the bathroom (among other rooms) and installed this system. We have 1 shower but separate shower heads as mine is MUCH shorter than his. Then we have body sprayers on the side wall and finally a rain shower head above. We used the 4-port valve and can use 1, 2, 3 or all of them at once or mix and match them depending our mood. Plus each of the 2 regular shower heads have a hand held just in case we need to reach a spot any of the other sprays didn’t catch 😆 Definitely worth it!

Do you have to use moen fixtures with it or can you use any brand ?

[@handydadtv]

Any brand. I used a Kohler shower head and Delta body sprays.

[@DickWigglin]

You set off my echo at 1am

[@handydadtv]

LOL

[@AidanSkoyles]

price has now gone way back up. $1170 just for the valve at Home Depot currently (May 2022)

[@handydadtv]

Not surprised. Everything is more expensive this year.

[@jerrybillett3558]

Do you have to install one per shower in your home?

[@handydadtv]

Yes one per shower. It replaces a regular shower valve.

[@bobbyblublan2441]

Hey mr handyman. I have a question. Do you have to have moen body sprays and shower heads or can I buy any kind of body spray and shower head to use with the moen valve

[@handydadtv]

My heads are Delta.

[@bobbyblublan2441]

@@handydadtv ok thank you. That was a relief. The moen rep told me I had to get they recessed body sprays. You're awesome and thx again for the insight

[@handydadtv]

Recessed body sprays are harder to install and need to be removed to clean. No thanks.

[@bobbyblublan2441]

@@handydadtv ok cool. Thx again for the advice. Now I can move forward with no worries 😁

[@HummingBirdFlyAway]

I bought a home with this installed. It doesn't work or we no one, even an electrician is able to get it to function. Who supports this type of shower control?

[@handydadtv]

Call Moen to help you troubleshoot. Don’t give up on it, even if you need to replace something. It’s awesome!!

[@twinenk15]

Current bundle price $1,769.41.

[@handydadtv]

You may be looking at the 4-outlet model. The 2-outlet bundle is $976 today on Amazon. They probably have low supply because of COVID and that drove the price up temporarily. But it’s still worth it in my opinion.

[@Drew-ql3gq]

Why do you have Alexa neer steamy shower

[@handydadtv]

To show you that it works.

[@Drew-ql3gq]

I thot they get broken neer steamy water

[@quarans08]

What if the power went out?

[@quarans08]

Im not sure if you already discussed it in the video because I’m trying to get quick answers for a new bathroom. Sorry.

[@handydadtv]

I bought the optional battery backup. It takes 8 D cells and keeps the shower operating during power outages.

[@quarans08]

HandyDadTV oh cool!

[@EshanAnas]

Is that you, JerryRigEverything? lol

[@handydadtv]

No that’s a different guy

[@EshanAnas]

@@handydadtv You both have pretty similar voice ⭐

[@leehancock2782]

Just bought a house with one of these. Had the power off and now it will not power up. Not impressed. And yes the plug has power.

[@handydadtv]

Push and hold the power button for 30 seconds. If that doesn’t work, call Moen support. Trust me, you will love it when you get it working!

[@K0NY718]

It’s currently $300 on Amazon

[@handydadtv]

That’s for the control panel. The valve is around $350.

[@CatLover7112]

Saw this on Twitter and Cried In Laughter....... In My "Soup Natzi Voice On Seinfeld"... (No-Privacy-For-You).. Lol.! Clever & Bold AF.! I do actually kinda like it tho.. The Creativity is Dope. 👍😹

[@AldoSubrotoPamudji]

But you already move your house doesn't right ?

[@handydadtv]

I recorded this right before I moved. It’s been on my to-do list. I want to put one in the new house at some point. I really miss it.

[@AldoSubrotoPamudji]

I see that , but your old House is wonderfull , by the way does in your new house installed CCTV ?

[@handydadtv]

Not yet, it’s a gated community so security isn’t our first priority. Storage and organization is our first priority.

[@RobMyself]

Once again proving women like hotter showers then men! 😊

[@handydadtv]

Truth 👆🏻

[@matheusandrade9566]

What ? A thousand dolars ?! No Way. I would prefer to use my sensor hands to set the temperature. Only two presets? i would wait more features… but….

[@handydadtv]

It’s definitely a luxury item, but worth it IMO

[@killjoy0484]

4:48 that s-trap illegal AF!

[@handydadtv]

Not my photo; that was an example from Moen showing how it could be installed under a vanity.

[@sparky494112]

Shark Bite fittings?? Oh oh.

[@handydadtv]

👍🏻

[@lordgarth1]

$600 now? That’s a no brainer.

Handdad sorry

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi, I like sharing my shower with my girlfriend but that is for a different purpose that I cannot go into on KZbin for two reasons, 1 it would be taken off because of content lays, and the other is that my girlfriend would definitely kill me. But I do like shower.

[@handydadtv]

Two people can shower with this. You just need to compromise on the temperature. 😜

[@troyhayder6986]

And i dont think its safe or clever...washing takes five minutes...but whutever...

[@handydadtv]

Thanks for your opinion.

Oh no

no lol

Why not?

"I paid with my own money" ... just be honest and say with subscriber/youtube money ;)

[@handydadtv]

That’s like saying your employer bought your house.

[@CanyonsCarver]

Nice but not worth $1000

[@handydadtv]

I moved in 2020 and this is the feature we miss the most. Contemplating buying one for this house too!

[@edsmith3212]

Very nice they’re very nice❤❤😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍

[@handydadtv]

Yes they are. I moved and really miss that valve.

What shower pump would you recommend I buy, but one where the shower jets shoot water out really really hard?

@GG-ry9vp I’ve never seen any kind of booster pump on household plumbing.
