Answer 2

There is nothing like stepping out of a bath, shower, spa or pool and wrapping yourself in a warm and toasty towel, especially on a cold winter's day. This type of comfort used to be a luxury available only to a few, but now it has become affordable to many. Many towel warmers are easy to install and are a great value. Most towel warmers today are energy efficient and use less energy than a light bulb. Another great benefit of towel warmers is that they heat your bathroom, which helps reduce moisture in the bathroom to control mildew and musty smells. Towel warmers also help to reduce fog on mirrors. Before deciding to purchase a towel warmer, it's important to understand the types of towel warmers available. There are primarily two types of towel warmers: electric towel warmers and hydraulic towel warmers.

Electric Towel Warmers

Electric towel warmers are easy to install and practical. They can be plugged into a 120V outlet and can be either floor-mounted, wall-mounted, or free-standing racks. These types of warmers contain oil, which when heated warm up. Because of this, they can be used year round. Not only can towels be hung over electric towel warmers, but also clothes such as bathrobes and socks. Electric towel warmers come in a variety of shapes in designs from modern, contemporary, traditional and classic. They are available in a wide variety of finishes such as brass, chrome, polished nickel, satin nickel, and antique bronze. Most electric towel warmers heat up to a temperature of about 154 to 158 and are UL certified. They are energy efficient since they cost about the same as one or two light bulbs to run. Electric towel warmers can be purchased for as little as $100-$150.

Hydraulic Towel Warmers

A hydraulic towel warmer operates with hot water, which circulates throughout the frame in order to heat your bath towels. These types of towel warmers are more often seen in luxury hotels and apartment complexes than they are in most residences. Since hydraulic towel warmers are tied to the home's central heating system, they are often more expensive to run. These types of warmers are more difficult to install and often require professional installation rather than a do-it-yourself installation. Since hydraulic towel warmers are connected to Plumbing, they may be a good choice for a swimming pool or spa. Most hydraulic towel warmers cost over $500.
