Glad I Bought This

Pros: looks good
Cons: cord too long
"I'm pleased with my towel warmer which I had installed by an electrician. Too bad the
cord is so long. He will find a new plug then
shorten the cord for me. It does take 30 minutes or so to warm the towels, and I leave it on to dry them. Since my bathroom is small and my house a century old, it does add a nice amount of heat.

A little disappointed

"Bought this for my wife for X-Mas. My biggest compliant is that the towel does not get really "warm". I think part of this is the way the towel hangs on the unit. Only a very small part of the towel actuall comes in contact with the bars. So while it does "warm" the towel - it doesn't get it really warm. We have tried to "weave" the towel thru the bars, but this helps only marginally. Like the other reviews, i found it does take a lot longer than 15 min's to warm up.
I wish they would have had a way to let you ajdust the length of the cord. Ours plugs in about 8 inches below the bar, but we have all this extra cord hanging.
Overall, i would not buy it again, however, it is not bad enough to warrant returing it.

Ancona Comfort 5 Electric Towel Warmer and Drying

Cons: not stand alone option, would like it to heat up a little more in temp.
"Like the product, although it states that the towel warmer heats up in 15 minutes, it does take a little longer to reach the max. heat. Only wish the temp. was a little higher, but none seem to reach a temp. that is warm enough for me. Overall, good product and pleased with the purchase."

"I bought this towel warmer a while ago. It fits perfectly in my bathroom and works great for my towels. I like the toggle on-off switch because it has a clear, flexible rubber cover which prevents any moisture from getting into the warmer itself. It makes my towels toasty warm and because my bathroom is small it even heats it up a little!"

Good construction, switch broke

Pros: nice construction & appearance
Cons: flimsy switch means life is 1 year max.
"Nice quality smaller rack with feet or wall mount. Stainless is good quality and well made. Works for one or two towels but not more. Need to have it on about an hour for best results. Unnfortunately, the switch to turn it on has integral light and pivot on two really tiny plastic divots. About a year old and one of the divots is simply gone. Switch is useless and so is rack. Have not been able to source a replacement so far and, in any event, fixing it is not for the un-handy as it will involve drilling out a tiny rivot and extracting the electical parts and thermostat."
