Excellent Towel DRYER,
By
This review is from: Warmrails Heatra Traditional Towel Warmer and Drying Rack, Chrome (Kitchen)
This rack is an excellent towel dryer. While it does use heat to evaporate the moisture, the basic design doesn't warm towels well unless several layers are used. As an open-air rack, all of the heat eventually enters the surrounding environment.
In order to actually warm towels, heat must be captured by multiple insulating layers, allowing thermal energy to build up over a period of a couple of hours. Somewhat oddly, this arrangement dries the inner towels faster than a single standalone towel- even though there is less exposure to the dry atmosphere. Having warm towels is a nice luxury in the cold winter yet the real benefit comes in the summer when humidity is a problem. Some may question the cost-benefit as heaters are generally reserved for colder months. Indeed, this towel warmer will battle your air conditioning slightly. However, at 100 watts, it only produces about as much waste heat as a 100 watt incandescent light bulb. If you generate a great number of wet towels or live in humid climate, a towel warmer is a nice way to keep your towels dry. In my case, I exercise and shower multiple times per day. Having a towel warmer has cut down significantly on my consumption of fresh towels. Moreover, the towels I use appear fresh and clean much longer, which arguably decreases my total energy consumption by reducing dryer usage. My only complaint with this towel warmer is its lack of heating control or rapid heating. It would helpful to maintain a constant temperature regardless of how wet or dense the towels are. This would require more sophisticated electronics and large current spikes. However, even in its current form, the device is quite useful. If you live in a humid climate or use a large number of towels, you too can reduce your trips to the Laundromat. Pros: Simple design Warm towels Reduced towel usage Cons: No thermostat No intelligent thermal control (rapid initial heating with taper)

Good towel dryer, but not warmer,
By
This review is from: Warmrails Heatra Traditional Towel Warmer and Drying Rack, Satin Nickel (Kitchen)
I read the reviews and knew going in that this was a good towel dryer and not necessarily the best warmer, but that's what I wanted--a towel dryer. I have no vent in my bathroom and just needed to get the towels and air dry to prevent mold, cut down and laundry etc. so I thought I didn't care. However, now experiencing the tiny warm spot where the towel has touched the bar, makes me wish I would have gone for the more robust version that actually warms the towels. That warm part is soooo nice, but too small. I have to say though, that it's great for getting the towels dry quickly!
I also went with this version because it fit in the small space I had on the floor. With long towels though, it's better to put it on the wall and in that case I could have gone with a bigger model that perhaps would have warmed better. So basically, don't limit yourself on size if you think you want it on the floor. You'll probably mount it on the wall in the end anyway.

Warm Fresh Towels,
By
This review is from: Warmrails Heatra Traditional Towel Warmer and Drying Rack, Satin Nickel (Kitchen)
I think it is actually 250 watts, which is more than your average non-halogen lightbulb. Because of that, I put it on a timer. I love it. More importantly than warming a towel up for use, is the way it dries it out after use. This keeps your towels fresh. During the summer, I would have to change towels almost daily w/o this.
