The best heated towel rails for 2022

Our apartment is equipped with many different systems and items of equipment, without which the full functioning of water supply, sewerage, heating and electricity systems is impossible. Among such equipment, one can single out a heated towel rail - a piece of furniture in an apartment that we often use without hesitation. Unfortunately, sometimes it fails, which is why you have to think about buying a new device. Many people think that this equipment is simple and of the same type, and they are surprised at the variety of types of heated towel rails when they go into the store. In order for you to choose the right device and buy what you need, in this article we will study the selection criteria, popular models from the best manufacturers, as well as the functionality of the heated towel rails on sale. The rating will be compiled on the basis of advice and feedback from real buyers of heated towel rails so that you do not make mistakes when choosing.

Criteria for choosing a heated towel rail

This device is primarily designed to dry things, reduce humidity and raise the temperature in the room. In winter, radiators do a good job with these tasks, however, linen hung on them reduces the heat transfer of heating devices, which causes the temperature in the apartment to decrease. In addition, radiators do not work in summer and part of the autumn-winter period, which is why clothes have to be dried outside. Unfortunately, the weather outside the window does not always contribute to the rapid drying of things. To solve this problem, heated towel rails were invented.

Previously, they were a thickened part of a pipe that was connected to a central heating system, a closed heating system, or a hot water supply system (depending on the design solution). Now manufacturers offer not only water, but also electrical appliances that can be used not only for the bathroom, but also for other rooms.

Consider what types of heated towel rails are:

• According to the type of generation of thermal energy, water, electric and combined are distinguished.

According to buyers, it is better to choose a water appliance if they are connected to a hot water supply system. This allows you to constantly maintain heat in the device without spending additional energy (electricity). If such a connection is not possible, combined devices can be used. They allow you to turn on the coolant at the required time, so that electricity is not wasted. Before choosing a water heated towel rail, you need to pay attention to the material of its manufacture. Since the devices can be made of various materials - stainless steel, brass, copper, steel, they have a different degree of resistance to aggressive substances in the water. It is recommended to pay special attention to the material of manufacture of the heated towel rail connected to the heating system, since industrial water is used there, which can damage the device.

Modern electric heated towel rails have a heating temperature of no more than 60 ° C, which allows not only to operate them safely, but also save energy - the cost of one device is comparable to the power consumption of an average light bulb of 100 watts. According to the recommendations of experts, the best devices are those with a hidden electrical connection, so that the cable does not pose a danger to small children. Most of these devices have a thermostat that allows not only to change the temperature, but also protects the device from overheating by automatically turning it off.

Combined devices allow the user to switch their operating modes at the required time.So if the device is powered by a heating system, in winter it can be heated by hot water, and in summer it can use electricity. Such devices are also convenient if emergencies periodically occur in the water supply system with interruptions in the supply of hot water. The combination dryer can be called the most convenient among other options due to its practicality.

• Manufacturing material.

As previously mentioned, the dryer can be made from a variety of materials. A steel heated towel rail is a budget option that has a number of disadvantages (poor resistance to aggressive substances, which is why such a device is recommended to be used only in a closed heating system, without pressure drops; heavy weight). A stainless steel dryer is more expensive than a steel unit, but at the same time it has many advantages: it can withstand high pressure and its differences, and is not subject to corrosion. It is important for the buyer of such a dryer to know what to look for when buying an appliance. One of the important characteristics is the wall thickness of the product. It should be at least 3 mm, which will allow the drying to remain durable and keep the temperature longer, because. a standard heated towel rail is able to keep warm in a typical bathroom. The copper product is characterized by high anti-corrosion resistance, low weight and good heat dissipation, and has an attractive appearance. The disadvantages of this type of dryers include only their high cost compared to analogues. Brass heated towel rails are similar in their characteristics to copper ones - they are resistant to corrosion, have a high heat transfer, and are made in a variety of designs.Unfortunately, most brass dryers on the market are not designed for water pressure drops, which often occur in pipelines in apartment buildings, and therefore, such devices are recommended for use in autonomous water supply systems (private houses).

• Connection method.

Towel dryers can be with side (left or right) or bottom connection. The diagonal type of connection is rare. The most practical and frequently used option is the side connection. This option looks aesthetically pleasing due to the fact that the connection point is almost imperceptible. Experts recommend that you measure the distance between the axes of the pipeline outlets. Most often, it is 500 mm, but sometimes there are other sizes.

• Method and place of installation.

The most common way to install a dryer is on the bathroom wall. The popularity of models of this type is due to the fact that most of the water supply and heating systems are located on the wall in the bathroom. This type of placement has a number of advantages: due to its popularity, heated towel rails of this type are made in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

Floor products are characterized by larger dimensions than wall products. Floor appliances are sometimes combined with radiators, while they should not be located under the window. Most floor standing units are electric, their convenience lies in the fact that they can be easily carried from place to place. There are also stationary and rotary heated towel rails. Most products are stationary. This is due to the fact that they are more reliable than rotary ones. Rotary water dryers are known for frequent leakage in the moving part.Even expensive representatives of water rotary dryers have a period of trouble-free operation of no more than 3 years. Electric models are reliable due to the fact that the principle of their heating is not related to water, which eliminates leakage. However, some buyers of such devices complain about the grinding of the power cable at the junction of moving parts. Repair of such products is impractical, it is more profitable to purchase a new heated towel rail.

• Form and performance.

In addition to the standard and well-known “coil” shape, there are many different versions of the heated towel rail on the market: with shelves, in the form of a ladder, B-, G-, F-, GS-, I-, S-, M-shaped, etc.

Before buying, many buyers think about which company's heated towel rail is better. In order to make it easier for you to make the right choice, we have compiled a rating of high-quality popular heated towel rails based on customer reviews.

Conclusion

When choosing which heated towel rail is better to buy, it is important to consider all factors. The most important of them is the installation location and the type of coolant. Electrical appliances are convenient for installation anywhere and mobility, while they do not depend on the season and interruptions in the water supply or heating system. Their main drawback is energy consumption - even with a rare inclusion of the device in the network, the cost of "greasing" for electricity increases. Water heated towel rails are more convenient in this regard - the cost of their operation tends to zero. However, such devices also have a significant drawback - sometimes they leak, which can cause expensive repairs not only to the apartment of the buyer of such a device, but also to neighbors located below.

Each buyer determines for himself the brand and type of heated towel rail, but it is still recommended to choose a dryer not only in appearance and cost, but also take into account the experience of using the device by other users. It is best to study real customer reviews, with special attention to those that are on sites that do not directly or indirectly benefit from advertising of heated towel rail manufacturers.

We hope that our article will help you make the right choice and buy a good device.
