Towel Warmer
« 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"

If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

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
When a service tech goes on site, he has two repairs:  He has to fix the equipment and fix the customer.  And fixing the customer is more important.

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 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.
