Are bucket-style towel warmers or wall-mounted racks better?

They serve different needs. Bucket warmers heat folded towels, robes, or blankets quickly and require no installation, just a plug. Wall-mounted and freestanding racks drape towels to keep them warm and dry over longer periods and double as a towel rail, but many require mounting and sometimes hardwiring. Verified-purchase reviewers gravitate to buckets for convenience and to racks for permanent bathroom setups.
