  My non-electric towel rail also does a good job of drying towels. Just saying is all.

  This one is 130w running 24hr/day is 3120 W or 3.1kW.
  Electricity averages 0.26c over the day.
  So, about $0.81c/day $300/year for electricity for a warm towel (or two).

  I have a 3 rung, 40W heated towel rail that I have on a ($5) timer switch…
  (No longer available for $12 http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/65766)
  I run it overnight (off peak) to dry out my towels
  and 1 hour before and after my usual shower times.
  (Wife and I shower twice a day each)

  I also wrap each towel around a single rung,
  which greatly improves the drying/warming ability.
  Three warm towels twice a day for about 8c/day.

  I rationalise that this cuts down the amount of times
  I throw towels in the wash and therefore saves me a wash each week.

  Think of the Polar Bears! (Or the money)

    I thought these things where only supposed to be to heat up the towel.
    as in
    Throw on the switch
    jump in the shower
    turn off switch
    Dry yourself with a warm towel

    In a lot of ways these can save you electricity:

    1. I use a timer and set it for 15min in the morning and 15 min at night (the usual times of the day I shower)

    2. It's claimed by some manufacturers that if you keep your towel dry that it will stay cleaner longer (I guess if it's dry there should be less bacterial growth)

    3. I never use a clothes dryer, I always use a line, however in those instances when I am in a 'fix', this does an amazing job of getting stuff dry in no time (I don't know about this model, but my mistral is to hot to keep hold of when it's on)

    Loads of places have them.
    They make a small noise.

    Digital ones are silent, but costly.
