How to Compare Towel Warmers

Compare towel warmers to find the right one for you.

Whether you want to wrap yourself up after a warm shower or dry your face after a shave, nothing makes you feel pampered quite like a warm towel. If you operate a hair salon or barber shop, make your customers feel appreciated by fluffing their hair with a toasty towel. Compare towel warmers to choose the one that will best suit your needs in your home or business.

Instructions

1. Decide between hydronic and electric towel warmers. A hydronic towel warmer pumps hot water from your home through its hollow chassis and requires a complicated, permanent installation. Electric units provide mobility and easy, cost-efficient operation.

2. Compare wall-mount and free-standing styles. Wall-mount warmers require you to permanently attach them to your wall, while free-standing styles offer portability.

3. Compare features like temperature settings and auto shut-off. Different temperature settings can help you warm or dry different materials, from linen hand towels to polyester swimsuits. An auto shut-off feature provides additional safety against fire and ensures you don't waste electricity.

4. Match the towel warmer to the size of your towels by laying a similar-sized towel across the unit. A 36-inch towel warmer might actually leave cool ends on a 36-inch towel, so buying a 48-inch warmer might work better.

5. Compare prices and retailers' refund policies. Towel warmers cost between $75 and $200. Many retailers offer a 90-day refund policy, while others limit your return window to 14 or 30 days.
