Ever wanted to have nice warm towels on a cold morning? We have. We take our towels and stuff them behind the heating pipe that runs through the bathroom just to get a little of that European hotel luxury.
TowelRacks.com specializes in heated towel racks in many shapes and sizes and they don't need to be inserted into your heating system; they just plug in.
Branded under the names Warmrails and Heatra, TowelRacks.com sells roughly 12 versions ranging in price from $40 to $180. Our favorite is the tiny Wonderbar ($40) that simply "hangs from your existing towelrail," and the Kensington ($190) which mounts on the wall and looks just like the real thing.
A less chic but more affordable solution for those craving toasty towels is to hang the towel on a radiator (provided you have one in the bathroom). Works well for me, but only when the heat is on.
Does anyone have experience with these. I am lured in by the idea of a pleasantly warm post shower towel, however, it seams many of the reviews I have read through amazon basically say that after leaving the thing on all night (shudder) you end up with a dryish towel that is not necessarily warm execpt for a hot spot where the towel makes physical contact with the warmer. Any thoughts or better experiences out there?
