The 14 Best Towel Warmers to Make Your Bathroom Feel Like a Spa

This towel warmer resembles a clothes hamper more than a towel rack, but it’s spacious enough for two 40x70-inch oversized towels or even a thick bathrobe. Its chic design with a realistic faux-wood base blends right into contemporary bathroom decor, and its larger size keeps warm, fluffy towels at the ready for multiple bathers.

One of the best parts of this towel warmer is its rapid cycle function. This feature allows it to heat up in just 1 minute — perfect for warming up towels at the last minute. It reaches its highest temperature after just 6 minutes and stays warm for up to an hour before automatically turning off for safety and energy conservation. If you love scented towels, you can pop a fragrance disc into the designated compartment for a burst of fresh aroma.

Customers say it’s been a game-changer for their shower routine. Says one reviewer, “I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed getting out of the shower and getting that warm towel! I turn on the warmer and put my towel in while I am getting ready to take my shower. It’s a joy at the end of the shower to be wrapped up in the warmth!”

With its inset feet and slightly tapered cylindrical shape, this device looks more like a mini rocket ship than another towel warmer. It could be a fun design element to add to a modern bathroom.

More importantly, though, the SereneLife Single Touch Towel Warmer has lots of functionality. It has a digital display to control the built-in timer, which can be set for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. It automatically shuts off after an hour for safety reasons. If you love scented towels, you can pop a fragrant disc into the underside of the lid to infuse them with your favorite aroma. You can also discreetly tuck the cord beneath the base of the towel warmer to hide it when it’s not in use.

Customers say that this towel warmer delivers that just-out-of-the-dryer coziness you enjoy on laundry day. Says one reviewer, “My favorite thing to do after washing towels and blankets is to pull them straight from the dryer, smell and then wrap myself in them. This towel warmer allows the same experience but is conveniently located right next to my bathtub!”

Towel warmers are, without a doubt, luxury goods that don’t run cheap — especially if you plan to purchase a wall-mounted warmer. With its sub-$350 price point and a slew of features, the Brandon Basics towel warmer is among the most budget-friendly and value-focused wall-mounted towel warmers available. It can warm up your towels in less than 10 minutes and has 12 stainless steel bars to heat multiple towels simultaneously.

The towel warmer — which comes in polished or brushed stainless steel or matte black finishes — gives you options for installation. You can opt to plug it directly into the wall using the 53-inch power cable. It can also be hardwired if you want a permanent addition to the bathroom. Rather than having a hard-to-locate switch on its underside, the Brandon Basics towel warmer features a built-in timer located on its front face to automatically turn itself off. It can continue heating for 1 or 2 hours, depending on which button you press.

Another nice touch is that this is one of the few towel warmers that includes a garment hook for hanging your clothing.

Customers appreciate that this towel warmer stays on for a relatively long duration and keeps their towels fresh. Says one reviewer, “Works perfectly! A normal-sized towel will be completely dry after the 2-hour timer elapses. This means that your towels will no longer stink after a few days.”

Short on patience? This warmer’s rapid-fire heating system means no waiting for warm towels.

The Amba Radiant towel warmer has 10 horizontal bars to accommodate two full-sized towels and keep them separated for easier drying. All of the horizontal bars, as well as the two vertical bars, heat up, giving you a bit more oomph. The vertical bars can also be useful for draping a bathrobe or a damp ski jacket.

Since it’s made from highly durable rust-resistant 304 stainless steel, the warmer is built to last. It must be hardwired into your wall for power, but there’s also a plug-in variant you can purchase as well. Once installed, it’s as simple as flipping a switch on its underside, and you’ll have a toasty warm towel in about 10 minutes.

The Radiant warmer reaches temperatures up to 149 degrees Fahrenheit. It comes in a variety of finishes, including polished or brushed stainless steel, matte black, or satin brass finish to perfectly match your bathroom.

According to the results of an independent lab test commissioned by the manufacturer, this towel warmer helped reduce bacteria on towels by 94% after three days compared to those hung on a conventional unheated rack.

Says one reviewer, “[This] towel rack is an incredible addition to our bathtub area. The towels get sooooo warm.”

The DOACE towel warmer is a feature-filled bucket-style warmer that offers plenty of room to heat up a large blanket or two 40x70-inch towels. It would make a perfect gift for couples.

On its lid, you’ll find three buttons: one that controls power, another for setting a 20-, 40-, and 60-minute auto-off timer, as well as a delay start feature. Pressing the latter will delay it between 30 minutes and 24 hours, so you can set your towel warming schedule and forget about it. Another cool feature is the four hooks tucked within the rim of the bucket, which are perfect for hanging small garments, like gloves, hats, or socks, while they get warm and toasty.

This option has a peak temperature of 275 degrees Fahrenheit, which it achieves in only 10 minutes. Like the Keenray warmer we mentioned, it also has a slot for essential oil discs to add a light fragrance to your towels.

This versatile option stands independently and doesn’t require any expensive construction to install (although it’s possible to get a version that mounts to the wall if that’s something you’re into!).

Thanks to the towel warmer’s 35-inch height, it won’t take up a ton of space in a small bathroom. It’s easy to drape a couple of towels over its six bars. It has a 6-foot-long power cord, which can help you find a convenient place for the gadget even if you have limited outlets in your space.

Weighing in at just 6 pounds, the KEG is a breeze to move around your home. Just make sure it’s powered off before moving, though, as it can reach temperatures of up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit. The automatic timer can help ensure it turns off, even if you forget to hit the manual switch.

Despite its small footprint, the Zadro bucket towel warmer can easily accommodate a full-sized bath towel or an oversized bathrobe. It’s perfect for an entryway, too, if you want a place to dry off scarves, gloves, or a hat. The warmer offers even heating and packs a useful automatic timer to power itself off after 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Simple touch-button controls make it easy to set the timer for however long you need it.

Measuring in at almost 40 inches tall, the Vega towel warmer is equipped with 10 heated bars (eight horizontal and two vertical) to warm even the largest of bath sheets. Whether you want to heat up two towels before bathtime, use it to dry towels after a day by the pool, or hang a couple of bathrobes on it, this elegant-looking warmer will get anything toasty warm.

This option is made from stainless steel and requires a hardwired electrical connection. Unfortunately, it lacks a timer, which is a little surprising given its steep price, but you can add one on your own.

That said, it’s one of the few towel warmers that is equipped with a digital heat controller you can use to adjust its temperature — a feature we really love. In fact, there are nine temperature levels to choose from that can reach between 110 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. That range offers a convenient way to give a temperature-sensitive child a slightly warm towel after their bath or get something extra hot for yourself from the same appliance.

With a heat time of just 10 to 20 minutes, this towel warmer is one of the most powerful and luxurious-looking ones you can buy. Even better, it’s backed by a 3-year warranty. Four finishes — matte black, brushed steel, polished steel, and white — make this towel warmer easy to match to any style bathroom. Says one reviewer, “Beautiful design. Looks great with my black faucets. Warms the whole bathroom.”

WarmlyYours is more commonly known for its radiant floor heating, but the company’s towel warmer line uses similar internal heating elements to warm and dry towels and bathrobes — so you can feel confident in the design of this towel warmer.

The Sierra — which is available in matte black and brass gold finishes — accommodates two large bath towels across its eight bars. They’re installed in groups of four with a big gap in the middle, allowing for plenty of space between two towels. The appliance plugs into a standard outlet or can be hardwired into your home’s electrical connection, giving you options for an easy installation or a more permanent bathroom upgrade.

On its bottom-left bar, you’ll find a power switch and LED light which indicates that it’s powered on. The towel bar even offers overheating protection, in which it powers itself off in the event its surface temperature exceeds 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Another plus: It’s backed by a 2-year warranty.

Customers adore the design of this lavish-looking towel warmer. Says one reviewer, “I love this low-profile towel warmer. It’s sleek and very attractive.”

Want a towel warmer for your walk-in shower? Check out the Amba Jeeves 12-Bar Towel Warmer. It has a compatible upgrade kit that allows for an installation in a wet area, making it a good option for tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers or hanging on a wall above a bathtub.

The Jeeves is equipped with 12 straight horizontal bars, and even its parallel vertical bars heat up, so you can be sure your towel will be nice and toasty in about 20 to 30 minutes. Rather than using wire cables to heat up, this option has a liquid-filled system to keep the bars warm. It’s equipped with self-regulating technology to help it maintain a consistent temperature without using tons of power. Keep in mind that if you want a timer for your towel warmer, you’ll have to purchase one separately.

The towel warmer is made from stainless steel, and it’s available in white, oil-rubbed bronze, matte black, and brushed or polished stainless steel finishes. Regardless of which style you choose, you’ll get the durability of 304 stainless steel that won’t rust, flake, or chip.

If you’re looking for warmth but also need a spot to set your folded towels, check out this towel warmer from ANZII. It’s one of the most inexpensive options that has a shelf on its top for stowing towels. Although we would have liked to see an integrated timer with the ANZZI, we appreciate that it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. We also appreciate its versatile polished chrome finish. It could fit into a traditional bathroom just as well as a funkier bathroom.

The warmer offers plenty of room for two large bath towels and heats up in about 20 minutes. Plus, the on/off switch is discreetly hidden on the underside of the bar. At just over 12 pounds, this towel warmer feels sturdy without being too cumbersome. One reviewer says it’s “easily the most luxurious upgrade I’ve ever added to my bathroom.”

This towel warmer from SHARNDY is just 16 inches tall and 24 inches wide — making it the best towel warmer for folks who live in an apartment or condo, or simply have smaller-sized bathrooms. The wall-mounted towel warmer comes in an attractive-looking oil-rubbed bronze, matte black, and brushed or polished stainless steel finish. It also features a blue indicator light to help you know when it’s on or off. It can reach up to 149 degrees Fahrenheit.

It can be plugged into an outlet or hardwired to your wall. Because of its smaller size, you can only dry or warm a single towel on its four bars. On the plus side, it’s designed to consume very little energy, which can help prevent surprises from popping up on your power bill after you install the device. A 3-year warranty means you won’t have to worry if you run into any issues with this towel warmer.

Customers were thrilled to find that a towel warmer could be both small in size and high-performing.

I have nothing but good things to say about this product… The finish is flawless.”

Whether you choose the black or the white option, the COMFIER Large Towel Warmer is a worthwhile addition to your bathroom. The deep bucket-style towel warmer can hold two large bath towels. The flip-top lid makes it easy to pop in the towels, a bathrobe, a knit blanket, or anything else you want to get warm and toasty.

It climbs to its highest temperature just 6 minutes after you switch it on. One press of the button and this towel warmer stays hot for up to an hour, after which it will automatically switch off and save you energy. It weighs just about 10 pounds, so you can easily move it from one room to another.

One reviewer says, “What a wonderful product! Great size and quick heating! The first night I threw in a throw blanket and my socks — they were warm and ready to put on within 5 minutes. You won’t be disappointed!”

You won’t ever have to question how long the Live Fine Bucket-Style Towel Warmer will stay warm after you turn it on. It features a large LED display right on the front. Set the timer for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes and let the countdown begin. Everything can be programmed easily through a single button control.

While this compact towel warmer lends itself well to smaller bathrooms, it only holds one large towel at a time. However, Live Fine offers a similar towel warmer that’s double the size and can warm two big towels at once. The good news is that the smaller option stands just over a foot tall and it has a space to tuck away the power cord at the base. It’ll look sharp no matter where it ends up in your bathroom.

Based on customer reviews, we think this towel warmer could be a great gift for a new parent. Says one reviewer, “After having my baby, I decided to invest in this because I didn’t want her to be cold after bath time, and it has calmed her down so much! No more crying baby during bath time! One of my top favorite purchases ever.”
