REVIEW – When we lived in Europe, our home had a heated towel bar in the bathroom. It seemed like such a decadent little thing, but as fall turns to winter I recall just how nice it was to step out of the shower and reach for a warm towel. When the Comfier towel and blanket warmer review was offered, I couldn’t resist.

Design and features
Setup
The Comfier towel and blanket warmer is 100 percent plug and play. You just plug it in and press the button when you’re ready to use it.
It will heat your blanket or towel in just one minute, but takes 6 minutes to reach the full temperature. We tend to leave them in even longer… specifically, the length of a shower or soak in the hot tub. However, if you forget about it, it will automatically shut off in an hour.
Note that this is not intended for damp towels and that placing anything wet in the device is a safety risk and may cause damage to the warmer.
Performance
The Comfier towel and blanket warmer does what it’s intended to do. The heating element is around the edges, so I make sure to push the towel or blanket to the edge for heating the maximum surface area of fabric.
For blankets, it won’t fit anything larger than a throw blanket. I can easily fit two bath towels or pool towels in, and could probably fit three if they were on the smaller side.
Due to my bathroom setup and the cord length (71 inches), for me this isn’t ideal for getting out of the shower because I’d have to cross the entire bathroom wet and drippy. However, we’ve found a great spot for it in our basement living room, and it’s been great for making our blankets nice and toasty for watching movies.
This spot is also convenient for when we get out of the hot tub just outside of our basement doors. I love drying off straight from the hot tub with a warm towel and then grabbing the second towel to bring upstairs for changing into my clothes. I’ve also found that it perfectly fits my terrycloth robe, which is a real bonus.
What I like about the Comfier towel and blanket warmer
- Works well
- It’s fast
- Easy to us
What needs to be improved?
- Check the layout of your bathroom; if you are using this for after showers, you may need a longer cord.

The Comfier towel and blanket warmer does a great job of making your towels or blanket nice and toasty on chilly days.
