TOP 8 best heated towel rails for home according to customer reviews

When choosing a heated towel rail, you need to determine the connection method and type (electric or water). The first is independent of the system, so it is easier to find a place to install it. Some models assume the ability to adjust the temperature, while in water models it depends on the temperature of the water in the circuit. But an electrical appliance that is too cheap may not have a sufficient degree of moisture protection. To make it easier to make a choice, I made a rating of the TOP-8 best models of 2019, formed it based on expert advice and customer reviews. It includes heated towel rails, differing in build quality, type of performance, connection and heat transfer (power).

The best manufacturers

Unlike other household appliances, a large number of manufacturers can boast of high-quality heated towel rails at once, for example, Arbonia - one of the first began to manufacture such devices and for many years it continues to become the best in its field. The Swedish manufacturer specializes in all three types of these devices: water, electric and combined.

The company values ​​its reputation, so each product undergoes a multi-level test before entering the market. The device is manufactured from stainless steel and other high quality materials.

In addition to the various designs and sizes of products, the company is famous for the fact that it produces heated towel rails exclusively from environmentally friendly materials.

Terminus

A company from Russia manufactures heated towel rails and other heating devices. In production, a unique manufacturing technique is used, as a result of which the devices are seamless, which increases the safety of the device in the event of pressure surges that can lead to the pipe cracking. The heated towel rail will withstand a water pressure of 7 atmospheres, however, the company will release the device on the market only if the pipe at the stage of testing was able to withstand a pressure twice this figure.

Sunerzha

The list is also closed by the Russian manufacturer Sunerzha. It is famous for the fact that in Russia it is still the only company that manufactures its own heated towel rails from stainless steel. The instruments are thoroughly tested for high pressure resistance. And also, the devices differ in various designs and many additional functions in addition to drying towels.
