7 Reasons Early Risers Are Putting a Towel Warmer in the Bathroom This Winter
Remember a warm towel from the dryer? Here's how early risers get one at 5 a.m. · 4 min read
Reason 1 of 7The worst minute of a winter morning is the one after the shower.
The shower is the warm part. Then the water stops, the bathroom is cold, and the towel has been hanging on a cold hook all night.
So you stay under the water a little longer, then speedrun drying off. That's winter, not you.
Reason 2 of 7You can't heat the whole house at 5 a.m. You can heat your towel.
At 5 a.m. the house is still on its night setting, and nobody heats every room for one shower.
A towel warmer warms the one thing you wrap yourself in. HotShift plugs into a standard 120V grounded outlet and draws 465W: about 3¢ per 20-minute run (estimate).
Reason 3 of 7The dryer is downstairs.
The old trick works: a towel straight from the dryer is warm. At 5 a.m. it means a trip down the stairs in the dark, and the towel cools on the way back up. Or someone has to bring it to you.
A warmer sits on a dry spot by the bathroom door, so the towel is warm right where you dry off.
Reason 4 of 7It works on your clock.
Put a dry towel in and press start when your alarm goes off. It warms while you make coffee and take your shower.
To be straight with you: it has no delay start, so it can't run the night before. It's part of your morning, not something you set at bedtime.
Reason 5 of 7Two big bath towels fit.
It's a 20L bucket. The maker's spec is two large bath towels, or one throw, and that's what we say too.
His and hers works (two towels take a little longer than one). Two bathrooms? Upgrade to the 2-pack in your cart and save $29.
Reason 6 of 7It switches itself off.
Pick a 20, 40, 60 or 90-minute run and it switches itself off when the time is up (maker's spec). A red light means the inside is still hot; blue means it's cool enough to touch.
Keep it on a dry, level spot away from the tub, shower and sink, and unplug it after each use. Those are the maker's rules.
