can this unit be used safely to warm one large dry bath towel effectively? I am looking for a unit that heats warmer than the Brookstone cannister.

This isn't really intended for large towels. My large towels didn't fit and I returned this hot towel Cabi.

No, It wouldn't fit bath sized towels. Hand towels or washcloths, no problem, Heats nicely.

I purchased this item for my remodeled bathroom.. I do not recommend using this item to hand wet laundry. I have used it to hand one (1) bath towel and would not recommend more..

I keep mine in the bathroom to warm my kids towels when they get out of their baths/shower but as far as use outside it doesn't really appear designed for prolonged outdoor use (ie leave outside)

Im not sure what you mean but I just plug it in and after about a half hour it is warm but it is not as warm as I would like if I were you I would get a towel warming rack from what I heard them are a lot better that's what im going to get next when this one don't work anymore.

We just had our hung today. We kept it up high enough for four towels to on the bottom portion and tw0 on the top partition. Because of it's width the towels needed to be triple folded. The towel warmer is not suppose to use much electricity. The bars are nice a warm even the uprights. We did have ours hard wired to the electric. I can let you know better tomorrow how well they work. We don't intend to turn it off unless we are away.John

we always have 2 large towels at the same time and they are always dry and warm. of course there's areas that will get more heat than others but works great...

Im not sure what you are asking. I bought my own reuseable towels for this towel warmer.

I've used this unit for the entire house for the past year. No problem so far. My clothes washer is not as warm using the warm water setting. For showers and other manually controlled water temperature items, the unit works fine. I live in South Carolina. I would not recommend unit if you live in Alaska.

You can use moist towels only way heat will be held if towel is dry they will be useless. Also the UV light is a dry heat sanitizer for tools and implements

We have had this warming towel rack for over a year for our home and for a rental we have and have not had any problems with over heating or burning towels but we also had before this model a les expensive model and still never had an issue with burning towels so all good here. Hope that helps a little!

Yes, BUT use caution. Lift the heating element up . I have taken a bath towel and wrapped the element up. WIPE all surface up with dry towel. Make sure ALL moisture is gone BEFORE Using. This is great product But safety prevails.

Warming my bath towel is all I use this for. It is a tight fit; but I love it. We use the timer and the towel is ready when I need it. I wish they would make a double sized unit so I could fit two bath towels a this seems to be the only towel warmer on the market that gets consistently high marks.

I've never used mine since I'm saving it for when the power goes out. However, it'll probably fit one bath towel in it. You probably should soak it for at least a half hour during the wash cycle to ensure it gets really clean.

Nothing objectionable at all for us and we used it most days last winter & spring. We discontinued use during the summer, of course, and began the towel warming scenario again a few weeks ago. It can't compete with a real clothes dryer but it's certainly a lot cheaper to operate cost wise than one (and our dryer isn't close to our bathroom anyway). Just remember to allow warm up time from a cold start and reposition the towel from time to time for best results. We love ours but have never harbored unrealistic expectations at to how "hot" our towels are. It's loads better than a cold or cool room temperature towel and feels so marvelous to have a warm towel on the body when stepping out of the shower.

We own two and love them both. I you hang the towel as it is shown (thirds) it hangs fine. To warm a towel for just your use, fold it in half and weave one layer though a few bars. In the winter this is better, in the warm month as pictured is fine when you might not want a really warm towel.

The instructions say to put in warm water (warm as in bath warm). The unit will then keep it warm. It will not heat water that is not already warm.
