Product Description

Color: Satin Nickel

The HW/SW Kensington is a wall mount unit. Large enough for the entire family. This NEW unique combination design allows the customer to choose how they want to install it. Product is shipped with the cord attached. However the customer has the option to hardwire the unit if they like (hardware included for both installation options). Ideal for bathrooms with limited floor space. Keeps your towels dry, warm, and fresh all year long. This will help turn your ordinary bathroom into the ultimate luxury/spa experience. Is designed to run continuously 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. It's Filatherm dry element is reliable and energy efficient, using less power than your average lightbulb. Great for year-round use! Really helps draw moisture away during the hot & humid months. Keeps your towels from smelling musty. Also helps eliminate mold and mildew growth. Quicker heat up time, more effective drying and no worrying about oils/liquids leaking from the unit. Great for drying delicates, hand washables, swimsuits and warming baby blankets and bedding. Product reaches optimum temperature within 30-40 minutes, but you need a good 2-3 hours for the heat to build up in the fibers of the towels. Recommend leaving towels on rack overnight before initial use. Make sure to layer your towels (do not weave throughout the bars). Remember this is a low energy device; your towels will be warm, dry and fresh for each use (towels will not be hot like coming out of a tumble dryer). Dimensions 24" W x 5.75" D x 39.5" H. UL & CUL Listed. Minimal installation for softwire option. Professional Installation required for Hardwire option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dry, Warm Towels, Not Steaming Hot, December 31, 2007

This review is from: Warmrails Hardwire/Softwire Kensington Wall Mounted Towel Warmer and Drying Rack, Chrome (Kitchen)

Length:: 0:30 Mins

Decent build, fairly easy to install (after all, I installed it myself). The most important issue to remember if you are thinking of buying this is this device will not produce steaming, hot towels like you would get at a spa.

The temperature is not adjustable.

Otherwise, works as advertised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardwired Kensington Towel Warmer, December 12, 2006

By

This review is from: Warmrails Hardwire/Softwire Kensington Wall Mounted Towel Warmer and Drying Rack, Satin Nickel (Kitchen)

I've been very happy with this towel warmer. I recently renovated my bathroom and had the builders install this, so I can't speak to the difficulty of hardwiring this personally, but after a professional installation this works very well. Keep in mind, your towels don't get toasty hot, they get dry (and warm). My only quibble is that Warmrails puts some really cheap-looking clear plastic stickers on this. Once you take them off, which you'll want to do because they don't even bother to put them on straight or to make sure they aren't crimped, they leave a sticky residue. I haven't been sure how to clean this off, but I guess it hasn't bothered me that much because I'm sure I could figure it out pretty easily. This is an easy and inexpensive way to turn your bathroom into a bit of a spa, and I'm glad I purchased this.

1.0 out of 5 stars old ones were great, NOW JUNK, June 6, 2011

This review is from: Warmrails Hardwire/Softwire Kensington Wall Mounted Towel Warmer and Drying Rack, Chrome (Kitchen)

We have purchased several of Warmrails over the years and been quite satisfied. The construction and finish were as advertised. However, the latest units are JUNK. They have a painted "brushed nickel" finish, not even close to real brushed nickel. The attachments of the rails to the vertical supports is now a cheap poorly made screw. Most were loose when received and impossible to tighten because the wires run thru the middle of the nut. The old ones were brazed or otherwise solidly connected rails to supports.

The pictures from the suppliers show the old (good) style, but that is not what you will get. This is gross misrepresentation of the product and should be pulled by Amazon.
