How to choose
Match capacity to your towels
Every pick here holds 20L, enough for two large towels or one throw blanket in the OLIXIS and KMFurnila models. Compare your towel size with the stated fit: the CWDOlROI and Keenray fit two 40"X70" towels, while the OLIXIS and KMFurnila fit two 63" x 33.5" towels.
Timer settings and auto shutoff
A timer sets how long the warmer runs, and auto shutoff ends the cycle when time ends. The CWDOlROI offers 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or 4 hours, while the OLIXIS and KMFurnila run from 30 minutes to 8 hours. The SereneLife gives 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and the Keenray gives up to 60 minutes. Pick the longest setting you need for your routine.
Placement, cords and upkeep
Set the bucket on a flat surface where the lid opens fully, and keep the cord out of walkways. The OLIXIS and KMFurnila use a 5.9 ft cord and advise against extension cords, power strips or relocatable power taps. Use dry cotton or fabrics that withstand heat only, and keep damp or wet items out.
