No, I leave it on all the time though as it uses minimal electricity, and my towels are warm, dry and mold/musty smell free.

The instructions will tell you to leave the unit switched on ALL the time, except for when you are away for several days. This does not use much electricity and keeps the rails warm at all times. While I find that the towels are not completely warm all over, the best aspect of this item is that my towels are always completely dry. Totally worth it, to me.

I am not quite sure how long it takes, but I place warm towels in the towel warmer about a half hour before I give a facial and they are quite hot. There is no temperature indicator. I will say the towels get very hot so you need to shake them out before applying them to a clients face. But you would check the temp anyway no matter what warmer you use. Hope this is helpful

It is warm right away. Occasionally there is a slight rise in temperature after the initial start of warm water.

The unit warms quickly---just a few minutes. The towel, depending on its size varies. We only turn it on just prior to showering and leave it on for a half to one hour. Does the job.

No, it does not put heat out into the room. And honestly, it takes about 30 minutes to heat a medium weight towel. It's attractive and well made, but I don't think I would buy it again.

Might take about 20 minutes to warm a wet towel, and 5 minutes to warm a dry towel. It keeps the bathroom a little warm and damp-free. Such a pleasure to have.

YES - if you press the button to turn it on and wait till it indicates that its heated.

You have to drench the towels & set the timer 15 minutes before you want them. It works great, but the towels wont stay hot for long. But thats typical with any towel warmer I've ever used.

Just wet the towel with either room temperature or cool water, but never hot. The towel will activate and stay cool for a long period of time (2-3 hours) then just repeat process. It's machine washable. DO NOT place in the dryer. Before placing it around neck or head or wherever, make sure sure u squeeze excess water so it doesn't drip. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure as I've not left it on more as long as eight hours, but my towel was dry by the end of the day, due to the air circulating around it. I'd put mine in at least an hour before showering, and it was quite warm by the time I used it. Hope that helps.

Are you taking a really hot bath/shower beforehand? That's pretty much the key to this. I don't have a bathtub so I turn the shower as hot as I can stand comfortably and stay in there for at least 10 minutes. I rub the towel using small circular motions, but I've done it much less carefully and the skin still comes off eventually. The only time it doesn't come off is when I haven't "soaked" my skin in the hot water long enough.

The button is really hard to activate because if the way it is sealed against getting wet. If it didn't light, it didn't go on. If you are certain you pressed the button, and something external to the towel warmer isn't the issue (like popping your GFCI), then you may have a defective unit. The heat it puts out is unmistakable.

It is about equivalent to having a light bulb on all the time. We installed a timer with it so it runs about 4 hours in the evening and 4 hours in the morning. We have an all electric house and I cannot see any difference as of yet in our electric bill. We installed it sometime in May so have had enough months to monitor it. Hope this helps with your decision. By the way, we love the towel warmer. It is nice to have toasty towels when you get out of the shower. You do have to find your own way of hanging the towels on the towel warmer to achieve optimum benefit.

Yes, wet towels will be very hot after 15-20 minutes when put in wet. It works very well.

I do not believe there is any danger if damp towels are used in the warmer. If the towels are any more then just damp it may increase the time needed to warm them. What my wife and I have found is that if the towel is "fluffed" and dropped into the warmer it is faster and warms more evenly.

Hi Krittiya, I have never timed it but put the towels in warm and they are ready to go from the first facial on. What I love about this cabi is the on/off switch'es are separate, and is very compact. I have been very pleased with this hot towel cabi.
