Best VEVOR Heated Towel Racks & Towel Warmers
Part of our Ventilation & Hot Water guides.
Heated towel racks went from luxury hotel feature to an affordable upgrade, and VEVOR's wall-mounted electric models are among the cheapest ways to get one. They dry towels faster, which also helps against musty smells in humid bathrooms. Choose by bar count (how many towels) and power type (plug-in or hardwired).

Plug-in or hardwired?
Plug-in warmers install in minutes if there is an outlet nearby. Hardwired warmers hide the cord and look built-in but require an electrician and, in most areas, a GFCI-protected circuit. See plug-in vs hardwired.
How many bars do you need?
Roughly: 4 bars for one towel, 6 bars for two, 8-10 bars for a family bathroom or for robes and bath sheets.
Frequently asked questions
How much electricity does a towel warmer use?
Electric towel warmers draw relatively little power compared with space heaters. Using the timer instead of leaving it on 24/7 keeps running costs low.
Can a towel warmer heat a bathroom?
It adds a little warmth but is not designed to heat a room. For that, an exhaust fan with a built-in heater is more effective.
Are towel warmers safe in bathrooms?
Models rated for bathroom use (like the IPX5 rating on the VEVOR 6-bar) are designed for humid areas. Keep them out of direct water spray and use a GFCI-protected outlet or circuit.
