Yes, we have the portable warmer box. It works great but takes up floor space, which is already tight in out master shower area. Also, it only holds one towel at a time, and experience has taught us that the best way to use it is to crumple up the towel before you put it in the warmer--the heat gets distributed throughout the towel better than if you put it in neatly folded. We only use it in the winter months when the extra warmth feels sooo good.

I have a spot for it but I am concerned that my bulky terrycloth robe won't fit in it. I considering taking my robe to the store! how long do you leave the towels in there?

We have this exact model, but purchased it from Brookstone a little over a year ago. It fits our oversized bathsheet towels (just one, not two). I don't think it would fit a really bulky robe unless the robe was short (not ankle-length).

DH uses it, and puts the towel in about 20 minutes before use. He likes it much better than the rack style of towel warmer, this heats much more evenly.

Doesn't take up that much more room than a wastebasket would.

thanks for the info. I think I really do need to go to the store with my robe. It's a thick terry robe that is nearly ankle length. But I may want it just for my towel anyway. A warm towel in the winter sounds good to me.
