See video for all of the highlights but for me the Towel warmer is a nice addition to our morning regimen.
Towels are nice and toasty warm when they come out.
My only complaints are
I wish the unit was a little bigger, so that a twin size blanket would fit
The unit can be used for back-to-back showers. After a use the unit must cool for about 20 minutes.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I'm not really the spa type, but there was something appealing about the idea of stepping out of the shower to a warm towel, so I decided to give the Jerdon Towel Spa Towel Warmer a try. The smaller than expected unit (about the size of a small trash can) promised a hot towel in about 10 minutes. Here's how it fared:Day 1: I use the largest, fluffiest towels available, and I had some doubts that it would fit inside the Towel Spa. To my surprise, the folded towel fit nicely. Unfortunately when the heating cycle completed, only the parts of the towel that directly touched the unit's walls were hot. The rest of the towel was cool. The uneven heating was not what I was hoping for. There was also an unpleasant burning plastic kind of smell that really killed the whole "spa experience" atmosphere (and perhaps a brain cell or two). I also noticed that the outside of the unit got pretty hot.
Day 2: I decided to toss my son's smaller towel in the Towel Spa while he was in the bath. That worked much better, and I had a nice, hot (but not too hot) towel ready for him when he was done. He gives the Towel Spa a big thumbs up! The smell was still pretty strong, and I had to keep my son away from the too-hot Towel Spa, which wasn't easy in his smaller bathroom.
Day 3: I know this isn't what the Towel Spa was designed for, but fond memories of just-out-of-the-dryer clothes prompted me to toss in an undershirt and a pair of boxers. Now that's something to remember in the dead of winter! I could see using it for my son's pajamas as well. The smell persisted, but fortunately it doesn't seem to affect anything inside the Towel Spa.
Ultimately, drawbacks like external heat, that awful smell, and limited counter space outweighed the limited benefits (at least for me) of the Towel Spa, so I can't really give it a ringing endorsement. I can see using it in limited cases, especially in the winter, but overall it seems to fail as a luxury/spa item.
Best Deals on Heatwave Industries Towel Spa Towel Warmer
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is one of those items that I am reasonably sure I would never purchase for myself. However, after a trip to England (where this was a staple in the rooms) I thought it would be a nifty thing to have.First off, the size, and shape of this item leaves a little to be desired. I would have preferred it be thinner and more elongated for easier placement in the bathroom. As it is, it seems cumbersome and always in the way.
Secondly, the controls for this leave a little to be desired. Something that should be rather simply, quickly falls into a guessing game of warm/ not warm. Also, if you fold the towel and place it into the warmer it seems to have trouble penetrating the inner parts of the towel. A good work around it to let the towl fall into the bin so that it's all scrunched up. This allows the towel to become heated throughout.
It does serve it's purpose, in that it does warm towels but seems to have some limitations. Now, I will say this caveat. When the Minnesota winter hits, I am intending to use it to warm up my hats, gloves, and socks and see how that goes. It may prove really useful for that. As a towel warmer for the average consumer I would give it three stars. Good concept, so-so execution. I'm just not sure this is something that people are going to say they 'have to have'.
Honest reviews on Heatwave Industries Towel Spa Towel Warmer
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a good idea and perfect for the home. The pluses:compact, warms the towel to a great temperture, easy to use and versitile. The minuses: compartment small for larger towels, takes 8 minutes to heat (so start it early if you want the towel warm when done with your shower) can't do two towels back to back, (the unit needs to cool first before warming the second.)The warm towel is very nice. I can see myself warming up my scarf, hat, socks even a small light blanket on those freezing winter days. I hope the new model (if there is one) would have a larger compartment to accomodate larger towels.
