Electric towel heaters, just electric and not hydronic,  are generally of 4 main types:

  • Wall towel rack
  • Freestanding
  • Towel warmer cabinet
  • Freestanding container type

1) Wall Mounted Towel Rack / Hardwired Towel Warmers

They work well, yet some people are not very fond of the visible wire that hangs to connect it to the outlet.

3) Hot towel cabinets – Not exactly a Towel rail
