Yodel Faucet YDTF-1 touchless faucet review

A brass touchless faucet for 1 or 3 holes that runs on 110 V or four AA batteries, with a mixing valve and both supply hoses in the box.

What the listing puts in writing

  • Motion sensor faucet for 1 or 3 holes
  • Water starts when hands are within range and stops when they move away
  • Mixing valve included, with hot and cold hoses
  • Dual power: 110 V AC for continuous operation, or 4 AA batteries
  • Brass body, chrome; 3.5 in spout height and reach; 24 in hoses

One or three holes

A deck plate in the box covers the outer holes of a standard 3-hole sink, so this converts an old two-handle faucet to touchless without new drilling. The mixing valve replaces the handles under the sink.

Plug or battery

Like the Greenspring here, it runs on 110 V or on four AA cells. The Charmingwater is battery-only.

The short spout

3.5 inches of height and 3.5 inches of reach are the smallest figures on this shelf. That is fine for hands at a powder-room sink, tight for anything else.

What is not stated

Sensing distance, run time, battery life and flow rate: none of them is on the page. The Greenspring publishes the first two.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

  • Plug-in or battery power, and the mixing valve and both hoses in the box
  • Brass named for the body, at $50 less than the Charmingwater
  • Goes on a single hole or a 3-hole sink with the deck plate

Compromises

  • No sensing range, run time or battery life published
  • 3.5 in of spout height and reach, the smallest here, which keeps it to a hand sink
  • No flow rate given

The questions we get

Can it replace a two-handle faucet?

Yes, on a 3-hole sink: the deck plate covers the outer holes, and the mixing valve under the sink takes the place of the two handles. You set the temperature once at the valve.

Plug or batteries?

Either: 110 V for continuous operation, or four AA batteries for an install with no outlet. The listing gives no battery life; the Charmingwater on this shelf states six to eight months.

Is 3.5 inches of spout enough?

For washing hands, yes. It is short for filling anything or rinsing a face over a deep bowl, and the reach of 3.5 inches puts the water close to the back of a wide basin.
