Tools and Hardware Reviews of Heatwave Industries Towel Spa Towel WarmerCustomer Review: Great--It sent my Warmrails towel warmer into retirement! Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I enjoyed heated bath towels a few times several years ago, and long believed the only way that would be available to me was by using the clothes dryer. About a year ago, a friend told me about the Warmrails product line, and I bought a Warmrails Hampton (read my review there). I liked the product, but felt squeamish about leaving it plugged in 24/7 both for environmental and fire safety reasons. The Jerdon Towel Spa fixes that concern, and gives a more "OOH AAH!" hot towel experience as well. The Towel Spa heats my bath towel to a hotter temperature than the Warmrail, though not uncomfortably hot. And the Jerdon heats the towel more evenly than my Warmrails, which left the "outside" layer of a folded towel only mildly warm. And since it heats up quickly, you can plug it in just before you take a shower, and unplug it afterwards till the next time!
As at least one other reviewer commented, there is a distinct odor associated with the product while it is heated. I believe this is stuff volatilizing off of the plastics--Similar to the odor you get when you open a plastic product that's been sealed tightly in a bag, the heat is driving volatile components off into the air. If my theory is correct, the odor will go away after awhile, but it hasn't yet. As mentioned in the literature with the product, the outside of the Jerdon gets quite hot. Hot enough to be uncomfortable, though not hot enough to burn if you pull your hand away quickly (as I did involuntarily when I tested it!). I don't consider either of these to be a real problem, though I don't think I'd care to leave plastic wrap touching the side of the thing while it was heating up.
The electric cord is on the short side. No doubt the lawyers made them do this, to make it harder for consumers to drop the thing into the bathtub. Commendable, but since builders nowadays are refusing to put electric plugs anywhere near the bathtub or shower, it means that you are either going to have to use an extension cord (which would be a very bad idea in the bathroom) or else walk your dripping wet body across the bathroom to get to your hot towel. For me, this is the biggest drawback to the product.
I still love it, and my Warmrails (which I merely liked, not loved) is going into permanent retirement. If you want to luxuriate in a hot towel, I think you'll be pleased.
