The heated towel rail today is an essential part of the bathroom interior, not only from a functional, but also from an aesthetic point of view. In the domestic market, you can find a lot of similar devices from various materials, different shapes and cost. An unprepared buyer literally runs up. Therefore, we first define what characteristics do not correspond to the concept of "good quality towel warmer":
- made of welded pipe with a thin wall;
- the pipe is made of black steel (quickly rusts);
- an imported version that is embedded in the heating system (it happens that in such equipment there is no anti-corrosion coating on the inner surface);
- device with a large number of different tubes (the likelihood of clogging increases;
- equipment enameled polymer coating - looks less modern than chrome, and has the worst consumer properties;
- equipment without a valve (the so-called “Mayevsky's crane”) for water release (air plugs will form).
Before you buy a knee cooler, decide what type of device you need: water (familiar to most of our compatriots), electric (connected not to the water riser, but to the mains) or combined (water passes through it, but if necessary, such a unit can be heated with the help of the heating element), and then proceed to choose the best model.
