Frequently Asked Questions
1what are the product dimensions
James is right, there are two lots of dimensions. I chose this rail because it was small supposedly 15x53x62 when is came it is too big to fit, 55.5x24.5x88.5. Be careful if size is important.
2I am looking for towel warmer that doesn't burn the towels as in the winter I keep it on all the time,
Hi Flossey, we have had ours on for 15 hours at a time, more than once, with 2 towels drying. Forgot about them, and they were fine. They were well dry.
3How long is the cable?
its at my caravan and I am at home but I think its about 5 foot
4how much electric does this use
According to the outer box, 3p an hour.
5I'm trying to cut down on my energy bills. How much does the Status Portable Heated Towel Rail actually cost to run, and is it truly energy efficient?
You're smart to think about energy consumption, especially with rising costs. The Status Portable Aluminium Heated Towel Rail is designed with efficiency in mind, using just 100W of power. This translates to an incredibly low running cost of less than 3p per hour. To put that into perspective, you could have it running for several hours a day without seeing a significant jump in your electricity bill. It's a fantastic, low-cost way to ensure you always have warm, dry towels, and it helps combat dampness in your bathroom without the worry of soaring energy expenses. It's a truly economical choice for everyday comfort.
6You mention it's portable, but how easy is it to move around, and what's the cable length like for different rooms?
Portability is one of its standout features, and it's genuinely easy to move. Weighing in at just 4.85 kg, it's light enough for almost anyone to pick up and reposition without hassle. The sleek aluminium construction not only looks great but also contributes to its lightweight design.

Imagine effortlessly shifting it from your bathroom for warm towels, to the utility room for drying delicates, or even a small laundry area. It offers incredible flexibility, adapting to wherever you need that extra bit of warmth and drying power.
7I need something that dries towels quickly and prevents that damp smell. How effective is this towel rail at drying, especially for multiple towels?
You'll be impressed by how effectively the Status Heated Towel Rail tackles dampness. It features six robust aluminium heating bars, specifically engineered to distribute warmth evenly across your towels. This design ensures rapid drying, transforming soggy towels into beautifully snug ones much faster than air-drying alone.

While it's compact, its six bars provide ample surface area to comfortably dry two to three standard bath towels, ensuring they're ready for your next use.

Absolutely, its versatility extends far beyond just towels! This heated rail is a brilliant solution for drying a variety of items, making it a truly adaptable appliance for your home. You can confidently use it for delicate hand-wash items that you wouldn't put in a tumble dryer, such as lingerie or fine knitwear. It's also perfect for quickly drying swimwear after a dip, or even small garments like baby clothes or socks. Its gentle, even heat is ideal for preserving fabric quality, and its compact footprint means you can easily place it in a utility room or laundry area for those everyday drying challenges.

That's a very practical question, especially when space is at a premium. The Status Portable Aluminium Heated Towel Rail is designed to be compact yet effective, so it won't dominate your room. Its exact dimensions are 39 cm wide, 52 cm deep, and 90 cm high. This slim profile means it can comfortably fit into smaller bathrooms, utility rooms, or even a corner of a laundry area without feeling intrusive. Its sleek silver finish and modern design also help it blend seamlessly with your decor, making it a functional appliance that doesn't compromise on style or precious floor space.

Customer Review
- ★★★★★ ReasonableReviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2017This is just about worth its money. I have it on for half an hour before my shower and it takes the edge off the cold in the bathroom. Somebody on here wrote about drying their wet jeans on it, to me that's ridiculous unless you're going to leave them on for a week! It's a low priced dryer and just about does its job if you turn the towels on it, and only use two towel's, even then you need to leave the dryer on for about 90 minutes after your shower.
- ★★★★★ Great gentle heat radiatorReviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2019If you want a low heat radiator on in the back ground to keep the chill off a room this is perfect. Low cost & light weight.We use it under an airer to dry items above & it is perfect. Doesn't get too hot, a gentle heat.
- ★★★★★ Brilliant little heaterReviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2020Brilliant little towel heater. Exactly the same as one I bought 2 years ago from a national company at twice the price, so pleased I saw it. Excellent value. Got it for my guest bedroom. I use mine mainly in the summer when central heating not on but it’s still nice to have a warm towel after bath/ shower and then leave it to dry. I only need to have it on for an hour altogether . Soon heats up
- ★★★★★ Does what it says but identical product 30% cheaper in a high street DIY store!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2017Just unpacked it and switched on - all working fine so far. Only problem is that the identical model (under a different name) is available for £10 less at Homebase. Bad luck to me for not spotting that before ordering one from Amazon!
- ★★★★★ Ideal for CarvanersReviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 November 2017This is a replacement item for one delivered minus leg stands. Nice lightweight unit that kicks out a fair bit of heat and should do the job principally for our caravan excursions. If ordering don't be surprised at appalling package security. Both my items were open cartons and not sellotaped down. Someone needs to address this situation.
- ★★★★★ A must for anybody who has not got an outside line.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2020This is a great item, has got plenty of hanging space, heats up quickly, and dries clothes quickly to save your money on electric. THERE IS ONLY ONE PROBLEM, AS WITH MOST MODERN APPLIANCES, THE LEAD IS NOT VERY LONG, YOU MAY HAVE TO BUY A SHORT EXTENTION LEAD TO GO WITH IT IF YOUR POWER POINTS ARE NOT NEAR GROUND LEVEL. Other than that I have given it 5 stars anyway.
- ★★★★★ Perfectly good at what it does.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2017I now have 6 of these. In a ll my guest house rooms and holiday cottage. Perfect to dry a towel, when you . don't want to turn on the heating. Look nice and stylish too.
- ★★★★★ Compact and unobtrusiveReviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2021This gets much Warner than I expected after reading the reviews. I bought it to finish off drying t shirts and such when the weather isn’t so great. It works a treat. Sturdy enough and easily put together. I’d like it to be taller but I knew the height when I bought it so. I’d happily recommend
- ★★★★★ Finally Warm TowelsReviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2021I bought this to dry towels more effectively as they were not drying on the radiators in the summer and if it was raining not at all, they eventually dried but smelt musty.This works a treat drying bath towels swiftly and effectively.
- ★★★★★ Good for dryingReviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2020Bought to dry my bath towels on.Overall provides a good level of heat / drying ability and has enough space for 3 bath towels and a bath mat.A bit difficult to assemble as the screws were a bit fiddly and kept getting stuck - but apart from that very simple (5-10 mins to assemble).Only just started using it - so hopefully it continues to work well!
