The product is well made. It looks just as good as more expensive models. It heats up faster than what other people have described. I feel. I would buy this again and I would recommend it.

We are just redone our master bathroom and we’re having issues on what to do with the towels. I hate traditional towel racks in the bathroom, so our towels would hang on hooks and we never get dried properly. I finally broke down and bought this unit. I absolutely love it and don’t know how I got along without it. Every morning when I get up, I have a very warm towel that stays warm while I’m taking my shower and is like heaven above when I get out. I cannot recommend this product enough. It’s inexpensive and 100% worth it. There is a little bit of a learning curve with installation and if you’re going to get it, I recommend you plug it into an outlet that has a timer on it so you’re not wasting electricity. Again, I can’t tell you how much I love this product and if it ever breaks, I’ll buy another one immediately .

We enjoy this heated towel rail both because its pleasant to wrap a warm towel around yourself immediately after a shower and because it ensures that towels dry completely between uses.However, immediately after removing a towel from it, you have to be careful not to touch it because the surface gets too hot. It's too hot to grab with the hand for more than a second and accidently touching with a more sensitive area, like the inside of the arm is very painful.The Amazon description says, "...  it can be heated to 110 °F, 30 minutes to reach the optimal working temperature 130 °F (based on room temperature 68 °F)". I measured the temperature to be152ºF after a shorter time under a towel at around the same ambient temperature. Also, using a KILL-A-WATT measuring device the wattage exceeded the manufacturer's specification of 140W, 2A @ 120V actually measuring 170W and only 1.4A. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets a limit of a maximum skin temperature of 140°F (60°C) after five seconds of exposure.I like the heater and wanted to program it anyway to come on at a certain time in the morning some 30 minutes before we usually shower and to go off about 30 minutes after we usually finish, so as to dry the towels completely. I'm using using a Tapo 505D to switch it on and off. We have a different schedule at weekends so it's great that this switch allows different program times on different days of the week. The best thing, however, is that after experimenting, I've found that setting the switch to 85% duty cycle lowers the towel bar power to 120W and the maximum temperature to 138ºF, just below the OSHA specified maximum and at a temperature that doesn't burn yet which still heats the towels to a comfortable level and that wholly dries them. Note that this switch is really a light dimming switch and only recommended for that purpose because the manufacturer has to make sure it's not used with inductive loads like motors. The towel rail is totally resistive as demonstrated by the KILL-A-WATT device that shows its Watts and VA measurement to be identical and its power factor to be 1.0, making it safe to be used on the Tapo switch. Also the Tapo maximum current rating is 2.5A, well above my measured 1.4A and the towel bar maker's 2A rating.

We opted for this model without a timer on the hopes that a simpler product will last longer. Time will tell. Planning to buy a separate timer to plug this into.Meanwhile:- Loving the brushed nickel finish. Looks good, and feels good to touch- Easy installation for a beginner/intermediate, with a few caveats (below)- Help towels get dry quickly, and only as a side effect we have warm(ish) towels. If you’re looking for piping hot towels buy some other type of product. (though this unit’s bars get hot while not quite burning to touch)Installation:- I used it for a few hours before install just to make sure it works- Unit is well, but not perfectly machined. I noted that the top legs are just a tad closer to each other than the bottom legs. That’s why a printed installation template would not really work- Noted the suggestion of cutting the box and using it to draw a template, but it has the disadvantage that you can’t ever return the box if things go south. I opted for installing the top 2 legs at level, temporarily fitting the unit on the wall, and then marking the locations of the bottom legs using painter’s tape- Instructions are meh- I wish legs were spaced at standard 2x4 distancing. Since they are not, I did what others mentioned which is to have one side of the thing aligned with a 2x4 and the other side straight into drywall- The allen wrench supplied is kind of cumbersome to use because the screw it’s supposed to turn is much closer to the wall than both sides of the L

It looks good but took my husband half a day to install on the wall. I don't want to leave it on all the time and it takes hours to warm towels, just so you know.

Went up with no problem heats and dries towels quickly wish it had timer though.
