Customer Reviews

Size of warmer
I expected this product to be a bit larger. It seems to be able to handle smaller towels fine. My wife uses a larger towel and it is difficult to fit in the warmer.

3 for 3
I gave this product to three people for Christmas and all three loved it to the point that I am still getting thank you cards three weeks later. People like the warm towel!

"Dryer-Hot"? Not exactly.
I want to love this thing, especially with what it cost me and how many years I looked forward to owning a towel warmer. Unfortunately, after a couple weeks of use I can report that it's quite disappointing. Does it fit a bath sheet? Technically... but the larger the towel, the more you have to cram it in, and the more densely the fabric is packed the less it heats up evenly. I have tried it under the following conditions, with the following results:

1. Bath sheet and/or towel: Warms unevenly, nowhere near "dryer-hot". If left in the warmer more than a few minutes after the "heating" cycle ends, it cools rapidly. Heat dissipates from the towel very quickly anyway, once it's out. Fresh-from-dryer towels seem to hold their heat a lot longer. Multiple cycles (i.e., pressing the button again once the machine allows it) helps a little.

2. Pajamas only: They come out much warmer than towels, probably due to the looser fabric distribution. However, the heat dissipates within seconds-- twenty, max-- once they're out, and these are flannel pajamas I've been wearing.

3. Both towel and pajamas, with jammies on the bottom: Forget it. Spotty patches of warmth, making the rest of the fabric seem colder by comparison.

I think this gadget would be most useful for heating socks while the kids are playing in the snow. If you do buy one, be prepared to monitor the cycle times during your relaxing shower so you can keep it running as much as the safety settings allow.

Otherwise you will probably find the pleasure of a nice warm towel is outweighed by the annoyances of everything that isn't what you'd hoped for. My advice is to spend your $75 on a couple of really fantastic fluffy towels and a box of candy bars to bribe your kid to schlep them to you from the dryer on demand.
