14 years and still going
Perfectly dry, warm towels, every time, for 14 years, no problems, no sharp corners, hard wired or plug in. simply the best. Bought a new one for the kids bathroom. Towels always smell fresh and greatly reduces need to launder them.

Not so much for warming, but does wonders keeping things nice and dry!
We have issues with humidity in our bathroom. We had to put our bath towels out to dry on the window every day 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 in his apartment there. Most homes in Europe seem to have these towel warmers built into 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 dried well from one day to another, and our electricity bill did not go up by any noticeable amount. It is not hot enough to 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 articles 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!

Lukewarm, not toasty warm. Don’t waste your time unless you live in a cold place and don’t heat your bathroom.
First off, let me start by saying I know from experience how this SHOULD work. Years ago while traveling through Europe I stayed at a small hostel that had a towel warmer in the bathroom. It was fantastic. The towels were toasty-very warm to the touch.This product does not provide anywhere near that level of warmth. While the bars of the towel warmer are very warm (not hot, despite the warning in the instructions) sometime after the warmer is turned on (it also takes too long to warm up, the instructions say up to 45 minutes), they are not spaced closely enough to warm the entire towel. The towel only feels warm to the touch in the spots where it touched the warming bars. Because the heat is only distributed over a small area of the towel (less than 10%), the overall effect is that the towel feels like it is at room temperature (for a normally heated house) or only slightly warmer than that.The instructions (and some of the reviews) tell you to “layer” the towels. Great advice, if you have more than one towel to use. Otherwise, useless. Additionally, while layering will insulate the inside towel from colder temperatures and help to heat up the inside towel(s), now you have to peel off a cold towel to get to the warm towel on the inside. Not very practical.The only way I imagine you would get a true benefit (at the cost of a raised electric bill because this product is so inefficient…btw, nowhere in the instructions does it tell you how many Watts of power this product uses) is captured in my title. If you live in a cold place, and don’t heat your bathroom, then I imagine the towels would feel warm to you. Otherwise, this is not a wise purchase.My thanks to Amazon for having such an amazing return policy. Full refund. Great company.

Cheap
Plastic chrome colored in caps that cover the assembly screws, literally melting, and falling off.

One of my 20 year old towel warmers died, and I was worried about finding a replacement that would be as good and fit into the same space. I did.

Installed this Towel Warmer a few weeks ago. It works fine…but the rails get too hot to touch. You need to keep switching it off after half an hour or so….
