In the winter, it keeps the towels warm and dries them. There is no doubt that it will keep the chill off the bathroom, which is exactly what they were designed to do in England where most homes and apartments did not have central heating until the 1970s, when the Northsea Natural Gas discoveries changed society forever.
Yes, it needs to be on one dedicated circuit and must be 105 watts and 120 volts
Due to the close proximity to the outlet, we had an electrician lengthen the cord until it was 19" long. There was a long cord, but I don't remember how long it

I do not recommend this product. China makes and designs poorly designed products. This page is warped There is no doubt that it is warped from looking at the photos.

The quality of cheap materials & the price of cheap material Put the finishing touches on Although it appears to be fine in the pictures, it is actually composed of thin, cheap metal rods that have been attached haphazardly, with no thoughtful consideration for quality or It should not be called "Nickel Finish" Nickel Finish is a description of "dim metal rod" in China, which thus makes $139 ineffective It is reasonable to expect that this product will cost less There have been no quality controls conducted by the manufacturer or the seller (because there are no quality issues to control! A refund will be issued to me for this item The time spent on that is a total waste.
The installation is simple and requires no studs. The bar ends and mounting feet are made of plastic, including the plastic caps on each bar end. Overall, the bar is constructed of all metal. There are a few cons The paint on plastic caps flake when touched, and the paint is painted on. There is no shipping protection on the package other than four meager pieces of styrofoam that do not remain in place. The rack does not appear square or straight. As a result of the welds being made so fast, the entire assembly was There is a 5mm gap between the hardwired wall plate and the wall, which must be ground down or cut down otherwise the wall plate cannot be mounted flush.
2007 was the first time I had purchased one. The furnace ceased to warm after 13 years, so we bought it exactly the same way Also in the house is a second bathroom with one as well. The warm towels after a shower became one of our favorite things after a trip to Europe. Lastly, you need to hang two more towels on top of the folded towel. To do so, fold the towel in half lengthwise and hang it over the top rung. Pull out the bottom towel and it will be warm and comfortable. To get the warm towel, raise the top two towels and pull out the bottom towel. I have always used it to warm towels, but not to dry them, although there are sometimes dried washcloths on the bottom two As well as warming my robe with the towel warmer, I also use it to warm my robe. As well as standing alone, we had to do so. When we got out of the hot tub and wrapped ourselves in warm towels, we had a standalone warmer as well. If you try it, you won't go back to the old way. I love the way it looks after it has been installed on the wall. If you plan to mount the brackets, you must be able to drill holes into the drywall and hopefully find a stud. A plug was bought by us Our electrical needs were not met by hiring an electrician so we chose the (soft wire) model.
I recommend you do not buy. I bought the same brand 6 years ago (and had to leave it in my condo when I sold it) and it is nothing like the quality of this rubbish. The wall mount is not metallic, but plastic painted chrome. The chrome started to flake before I was even able to hang it. There is a problem with the bars being In fact, it does not warm the towels at all, even after being on for 8 hours The temperature is tepid, if I may use such a word. The towels will have to be kept a little longer to see if they will actually warm as I have drilled 8 holes in my bathroom wall, but I fear this will have to be redone. Pay what you want, and you'll get what you want. With the former model I had, I was very satisfied, but this new one is totally.
Prior to the change, the towel warmer was free standing. I couldn't move my old one into the new house, so I got this wall-mounted one instead. While the free standing model was able to keep the towels comfortably warm, this unit, for some reason, is unable to keep them I find that they are ok, but not as warm as the previous model that In some cases, we fold a towel over our hanging towels as an extra measure to maintain Although it helps some, it doesn't help It has round cross rails as opposed to the other unit's flat cross For some reason, that may be the difference, because the round rails get hot, but they do not transfer the heat to the towels.
Great job, I loved At the end of ten Over the past 11 years, the thermostat has Since it stayed on the whole time, I was able to contact the company, who told me to check Amazon. They no longer have these products, but it is available on Amazon. This is the website. As this latest one is not as hot, I find it more appealing to me. After drying off on the first one, my bare hip was burned when I backed into it while drying off. I am completely to blame for this. Compared to the older towel warmer, the newer one looks even In our master bath, this piece was polished nickel and it matches all the other hardware beautifully. Two Bath Sheets (yes, SHEETS, my husband is 6'4" tall), as well as the towel I use to dry my hair, fit well in this bag. Due to the plug in our builder placed specifically for this product and the holes in the wall for its mounting, we wanted to use the same exact product. Unlike many other cords, the cord on this one is quite long. Fortunately, my husband shortened the cord so it can be plugged into a wall straight away. The ad does show a picture of it rather nicely. In addition to electrical work, my husband is capable of performing most repairs around the house.
