Debunking the Biggest Myths About Towel Warmers

Having been in the industry for over 25 years, Noken has worked with countless clients and tackled plenty of misconceptions about towel warmers. Let’s clear up some of the most common myths once and for all!

Myth: "I don't need a towel warmer in warm weather."

Think about it, most of us live in air-conditioned homes, which means our towels often stay damp for longer than they should. A towel warmer ensures your towels dry quickly, regardless of the season. No more musty-smelling towels or mildew buildup, even in warmer months!

Myth: "Towel warmers don't really work."

This one comes up a lot! The key is understanding what a towel warmer is actually designed to do. Many people assume it will either heat their entire bathroom or make towels piping hot. Unlike their European counterparts, Noken towel warmers are specifically designed to dry and warm towels. They operate at lower wattages, making them energy-efficient and cost-effective while keeping your towels fresher for longer, reducing bacteria by up to 90% compared to air-dried towels.

Myth: "The towel warmer doesn't dry my towel effectively."

It’s all about how you hang your towel. A common mistake is draping it wide open over the rail, which works for non-heated rails but isn’t ideal for heated ones. Instead, fold your towel twice (creating four layers) and hang it on the horizontal bars. This traps the heat, allowing for quicker and more efficient drying.

Myth: "Towel warmers take forever to heat up."

Not with Noken! All our towel warmers come with a thermostat. Our boost heating mode ensures that your towel warmer is ready to go within 20 to 30 minutes of being switched on. No more waiting around for warm, dry towels.

Myth: "I always forget to turn my towel warmer on before my shower."

We’ve got you covered. Noken towel warmers come with a built-in digital timer, allowing you to schedule them to turn on and off automatically. Prefer to keep it running? No problem, it uses the same amount of electricity as two standard light bulbs at most, depending on the size of your rail.

If you’re looking for an energy-efficient way to enjoy dry, hygienic, and cozy towels year-round, Noken's premium towel warmers are the perfect solution.
