"Recently, I spent a long weekend in a cabin in Oregon where one of the best
(and most useful) features of the space was in the bathroom. It wasn’t the Toto
toilet or the rainfall shower head, but another luxury: a shiny chrome towel
rack that, to my surprise, quietly warmed my bath towels.
Enchanted by this device, I experimented with a wet swimsuit, which I left
draped over its bars for a day. I returned to find it warm and dry enough to
pack away, as if it’d spent a day basking in the sun on a clothesline.
This electric towel warmer, which fended off the perpetual damp of the Pacific
north-west in November, hails from another very damp place: the UK. And
recently, another, spiritually similar appliance has been surging in popularity
there: heated clothing drying racks.
Inexpensive to buy and easy on your electrical bill, they have the potential to
save money and reduce your carbon footprint. But do they make sense in America?
For the right type of consumer, absolutely – as long you understand their
benefits and pitfalls."
