But until every house, hotel, RV and cabana has one installed, a portable, freestanding<br \/>heated towel rack may be the only way to go.<br \/><br \/>What are the benefits of freestanding heated towel racks? Are they a better choice than a<br \/>wall-mounted heated towel rack?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Best of both worlds in your bathroom<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>The fact that you can transport a freestanding heated towel rack to wherever there is a<br \/>source of power is its number one plus point. Yes, you can take it with you on holiday to St<br \/>Kitts (baggage limit allowing) or shove it in the U-Haul as you move all your belongings up to<br \/>resettle in the woodsy wilderness of Coos Bay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Being freestanding has benefits for homebodies too. If, for instance, you don\u2019t have enough<br \/>free wall space in your bathroom to install a <a href=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/product-category\/heated-towel-racks\/edge-collection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wall-mounted heated towel rack<\/a>, a freestanding<br \/>one can easily be placed next to the bath or shower.<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Dry towels here, dry towels there, dry towels everywhere<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The pickup, plug-and-play nature of a portable heated towel rail means you can schlep it<br \/>from one room to the other like a favorite blankie. Think of mudrooms, utility rooms, pool<br \/>rooms, laundry rooms, changing rooms, hobby rooms, babies\u2019 rooms, guest baths, garages,<br \/>and holiday homes.<br \/><br \/>It\u2019s also a good option if you\u2019re renting and want dry towels around the clock without<br \/>increasing your landlord\u2019s property value for him. You can even loan it to your neighbor if<br \/>they\u2019d like to test out the <a href=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/blog\/what-are-some-of-the-top-benefits-of-heated-towel-racks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benefits of a heated towel rack<\/a> before buying a mounted one.<br \/>Another advantage of a freestanding, heated drying towel rack is it saves you on installation<br \/>costs. That said, a wall-mounted heated towel rack with hidden wiring is always going to be<br \/>easier on the eye and, being tucked neatly against the wall, means less clutter in what\u2019s<br \/>supposed to be a free-flowing, safe and serene space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Buying tips for the best freestanding heated towel rack<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Believe it or not, you can get a model that can both be freestanding or, by removing the feet,<br \/>be mounted on your wall. There are even free-standing racks with special heated-glass<br \/>technology that replaces metal bars. Prices range from $60 to over $1,500. Be warned: you<br \/>get what you pay for.<br \/><br \/>As with a <a href=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/product-category\/heated-towel-racks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quality wall-mounted heated towel rack<\/a>, pay heed to the material it\u2019s made of (we<br \/>recommend Grade 304 stainless steel), and the quality of workmanship.<br \/><br \/>Also, consider the number of towels it can dry at once (generally less than wall-mounted<br \/>racks), whether it has a power-saving timer switch, and if the design profile suits your<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/product-category\/bathroom-accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bathroom accessories <\/a>and style. Other considerations are the product warranty, whether it<br \/>has a sturdy base (rubber feet are best), and the cord length.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>PS: While we\u2019re on the topic of all things that make your towels dry and warm, you may want<br \/>to read up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/product-category\/heated-towel-racks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">difference between a heated towel rack and a towel warmer.<\/a> Yep, they\u2019re<br \/>not the same thing<br \/><br \/>PS: While we\u2019re on the topic of all things that make your towels dry and warm, you may want<br \/>to read up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/product-category\/heated-towel-racks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">difference between a heated towel rack and a towel warmer.<\/a> Yep, they\u2019re<br \/>not the same thing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8181\" src=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/09\/Freestanding-Heated-Towel-Rail-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"679\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/09\/Freestanding-Heated-Towel-Rail-3.png 940w, https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/09\/Freestanding-Heated-Towel-Rail-3-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/09\/Freestanding-Heated-Towel-Rail-3-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/09\/Freestanding-Heated-Towel-Rail-3-650x545.png 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freestanding heated towel racks are portal and so you can have your dry, warm towels anywhere you go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":8171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[287],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-heated-towel-rack"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/81"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12072"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12072\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14388,"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12072\/revisions\/14388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbtrack.bathroombutler.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
