Title: Towel Warmer
Post by: Dr. Spa™ Ret. on December 22, 2008, 01:02:20 pm
There's always a lot of talk about towel warmers. Well, I may have found something  :) and I think I can offer it for a better price (actually, I'm sure of it). Whatcha think?

Best I can tell, this isn't rated for outdoor use, and I'm not yet sure how many towels it'll hold.

It's pretty small;

Height: 12"
Width: 11 3/4"
Depth: 8 1/4"

Personally, I don't see the need for one.  Doesn't matter how cold it is, when I get out of the hot tub and its 102* water, I don't need a warm towel to walk about 10ft to the house.

Another option might be a "Medical Blanket Warmer".  From my experience in the medical equipment field these are NOT cheap but they hold a larger volume than the Brookstone model and are made to last.  You might find one on e-bay.  Cheap way is to tumble them in your dryer and draw straws to see who has to go get them ;D

how 'bout an electric blanket plugged in right next to your tub,
maybe even sitting on the ledge of the tub?   :P

It is nasty though if you live in Canada and are experiencing -21 temperatures with wind chills even higher.  I'm not sure about heating towels but I'd like to find a solution where to put the thing while I'm in the tub.

I do manufacture a product called "Towel Toaster" that does a great job on towels outside!

I want something to put my towels on too.  I found this on line and it would serve as a place to put drinks and things while opening the tub, as well as a towel holder. In the winter, I am thinking you could just toss the towels in a dryer and then shove them into one of those huge HOT/COLD bags from the grocery store (they really work). Or even a cooler if you really wanted them to stay warm.

Not only would I buy one of those in a heartbeat, if I owned a spa store here, I'd sell the sheeeet out of them! :)

Very cool....yet warm...  :D

Hi everyone,

I was looking at making some sort of outside towel warmer (http://www.made-in-china.com/products-search/hot-china-products/Towel_Warmer.html) for the upcoming winter months.In the past I have put our towels in the dryer and then put them in a cooler that I took out to the tub on those cold winter nights...but I wanted to try something alittle better.

What I was thinking of was making a wood box...say 2x2 with a heat lamp inside..perhaps seperated by vented plexi glass so the towels dont lay directly on the lamp. Put the towels in and plug it in.
