Congratulations and welcome to the world of the sensible and the stylish!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But which one to buy and how do you separate the fluff from the functional &amp; fabulous? There are some seriously pertinent\u00a0questions to ask\u00a0&#8211; but the number one question to ask yourself is: what do I need it for?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The answer, well, depends on your needs, where you\u2019re going to use it, and who is going to use it. Before we dive in, make sure these checkboxes are ticked:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Four top considerations before buying a heated towel rack<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Look for superior Grade 304 stainless steel that won\u2019t rust or chip and will last a lifetime. Avoid chrome and aluminum for these very reasons.<\/li>\r\n<li>Find a heated towel rack that can be switched on and off, either via a Wi-Fi App or manually. Make sure you can change the power (heat) setting on the heated towel rack to suit the seasons.<\/li>\r\n<li>Choose a heated towel rack with Dry Element Technology (DET) &#8211; not fluid-filled. DET heated towel racks are lighter, easier to install, heat up quicker and are inexpensive to run, making them a wise financial investment.<\/li>\r\n<li>Check for top notch after-sales service, a generous return policy, product warranties and guarantees against manufacturing defects.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now you know what you\u2019re looking for in terms of quality and functionality, it\u2019s time to decide which heated towel rack will suit the shape, size and available wall space in your bathroom.\u00a0<strong>And, of course, and most importantly, how many people will use the bathroom daily &#8211; which determines how many towels need drying each day.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A medium-sized bathroom for a family of four<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You know the morning bathroom scene.
