Warmrails WHC Hyde Park 39-Inch Family Size Floor Standing Towel Warmer, Chrome Finish

This is a great item for our remodeled bathroom. It has space for about 4 bath towels if you fold them correctly. Sometimes we just have two or use space for the hand towels. It’s not too hot but just make others aware of it. I like that the towels dry faster and are warm. We live in a damp climate so it helps a lot.

We have issues with humidity in our bathroom. We had to put our bath towels out to dry on the window everyday because they would be otherwise wet the next day when we wanted to take a shower. I went to London for work for a month and stayed with a friend on his apartment there. Most homes in Europe seem to have these towel warmers built in to their houses, and it was the first time I had seen these things.The moment I came back home I looked for a way to have one of those so I could solve our wet towel problem.This towel warmer is really good, and it is also decently efficient for energy. Our towels dry really well from one day to another, and our electricity bill did not go up by any noticeable amount. It is not hot enough to actually warm up the towels though, which is why I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars. If you're looking for something that will make our towels nice and comfy, this is not your solution.It fits well two large towels when they're folded in half, or one without folding, we found that folding and placing both at the same time is sufficient for both to dry up. It even has space for our small face towel when that one gets too wet.It also works really well for drying small article of clothing such as socks or underwear. We sometimes wash those at home when we don't want to go out for laundry and have them dry overnight on the Warmrains. Works perfectly!

In Costa Rica, the humidity is high most of the year and it is expensive to wash and use the electric dryer on the towels constantly. I chose this unit because it draws less current than other products. This is important to consider if you live in a place where electricity costs are high.I bought the electronic timer suggested by another person in a different review. This way the unit does not run continuously. I operate the towel bar long enough to dry the bath towel. I am sure that if it was operating continuously, the towels would be toasty. Warm towels are not necessary in the "Land of the Toucans". So after a shower, I put the bath towel on the rack and set the solid state timer for three hours. For a few pennies, the towel dries quickly and can be reused.I suggest the chrome model. I was planning on the brushed finish, but decided not to buy it after reading other reviews about the strange color mentioned by others, and discoloring of the bars experienced by some other reviewers.The chrome model works well and was properly packed so that it arrived on international delivery without scratches or other problems. I consider this good value for the money.

I wish the entire unit was slightly taller/higher. The last 3 rails are pretty low so the towel sweeps the floor when I'm trying to fold it around the rails. The heat is not super hot but I can live with it (for the price I paid). I hated using a damp towel in the mornings & evenings after my shower - this towel rail is helping in that way.There're not many free standing towel rails in the market so I didn't really have much choice to start with.

I live in Southern California and I really appreciate this unit. My husband and I had an apartment in Paris that had a great towel warmer. It's hard to describe the European warmer, but it had more surface area. My complaint with the few units I've seen here in the United States is that they have rungs instead of a tile-like surface heating area, and therefore aren't as efficient and don't do as good a job of heating/drying. However, given that the European units don't seem to be available here, this unit works well enough. We use it to warm/dry our towels, dry swimsuits, etc. without having to start up the clothes dryer. It's also very nice to have a warmish towel when you step out of the shower.
