I spent over 30 hours evaluating a dozen towel warmers in the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Improvement Lab. When the weather turns cooler, few things feel more comforting than stepping out of the shower and wrapping up in a warm towel, so I set out to find the best buckets and racks for heating towels.

Our top picks:

✔️ Best overall: Zadro Ultra Large Towel Warmer

Heats fast and evenly, holds two large bath towels at once, includes multiple timer settings, and has a sleek look

✔️ Best value: Costway Towel Warmer Drying Rack

An affordable rack that is simple to assemble and can be mounted on a wall

✔️ Best compact: LiveFine Plug-in Freestanding Towel Warmer

This small space-saving bucket warms one towel at a time and comes at a low price

✔️ Best for hand towels: LKT COBTAC Hot Towel Warmer

A countertop warmer that can store up to 12 small hand or face towels

After testing and researching the options, I chose the Zadro Ultra Large Towel Warmer as the best overall. Still, the right towel warmer for your bathroom will depend on your space, style preferences, and budget. I found strong options for less than $100, including one that costs $30, in a range of sizes such as buckets and racks, so there are plenty of choices.
