Customers like the size of the towel rack. For example, they mention it's easy to fit two oversized towels in this unit at once, and it takes up space similar to 13 gallon kitchen trash. Some say it'll fit all their clothes and two towels, and is attractive. That said, some are happy with the size and functionality of the product.

I was prepared for the initial smell based upon other reviewers' comments (thank you for that!). It smells like a new heating unit for about the first week. Now, however, after using it daily for a month, it does not smell.
The towel warmer has a nice capacity and fits one large bath towel easily. Since it heats from the outside, it is best to drop in an unfolded towel loosely and it does a nice job of warming the whole towel. You can also warm a bath robe, or anything else that you want that fresh out of the dryer feeling.
The warmer warms up very quickly. It has a auto shut off as well as a warning light so that you know that it is hot that stays on for a bit until it cools down.
My usage involves throwing a towel in and turning it on a few minutes before I am about to take a shower. By the time I get out, it is perfect and warm.
I will update this review over time on my experience to share with others both if it continues to work well or if I run into any problems.
12/21/16 - I've now been using this towel warmer for almost 6 months. Still works well.
6/1/17 - Have been using this towel warmer every day for almost a year. Works great and still love it!
how about warming a blanket or throw to wrap yourself up in on a cold winter's night?
whatever your preference, the Brookstone towel warmer is THE best towel warmer on the market! You don't need to moisten the towel or other items that you put in, the container is large enough to hold a couple of large bath sheets, a huge fluffy terry cloth robe, or even a large (king size) blanket or a couple of throws.... We have small dogs who like their little fleece jackets to be warmed up in the morning, and we toss the items in the Brookstone towel warmer for a few minutes and PRESTO! happy warm dogs going out to walk on cold winter mornings!
The product is easy to use - just plug it in.
Compared to other towel warmers out there, I would pick this one every time... and the price is fantastic!
as for the smell... we ran ours four times during the day (christmas day when i gave it to my wife), let it heat up and cool down completely with the lid off. yes at first there was an odor but after the third time the odor went away. we also started putting a fresh dryer sheet in every few times we use it and we get that fresh dryer scent with the warmness!
Brookstone responded right away and offered to replace it. Hopefully the next one works, but I do appreciate them standing behind the product.
Update, the replacement one doesn't work either. Only half of it heats up. How are they still selling this product? It can't be a fluke that I've received three that don't work. I find it hard to believe I've been that unlucky, it must be a low quality item. If I ever get one that works, I'll edit my review again.
On the plus side, Brookstone has been easy to work with. Hopefully that continues.
