    How to choose

    Bucket or cabinet style

    Bucket warmers hold towels in a tub, while cabinets hold towels on shelves. The Zadro, CNZHONGYINI and JANVONP buckets hold oversized towels, with the Zadro fitting two and the JANVONP fitting up to three. The Wuissvnb and StateRiver cabinets hold smaller towels in larger counts, with the StateRiver holding 60 facial towels. Pick the style that matches the towels you use each day.

    Timers and auto shut-off

    A timer sets how long the warmer runs, and auto shut-off stops it without you watching. The Zadro offers four settings from 15 to 60 minutes, the CNZHONGYINI timer runs from 30 minutes to 24 hours, and the JANVONP offers 20, 40 and 60 minute settings. The Wuissvnb cabinet pauses at 175 degrees Fahrenheit and reheats below 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Capacity and portability

    Capacity runs from 8L in the Wuissvnb cabinet to 40L in the JANVONP bucket, with the StateRiver at 23L and the CNZHONGYINI at 35L. Foldable buckets pack down for storage: the CNZHONGYINI folds from 20.2 inches to 6.7 inches, and the JANVONP folds flat. Weights run from 4.5 lb for the JANVONP to 8.62 lb for the CNZHONGYINI, so check the weight if you move it between rooms.
