Recommend a towel radiator

Hi All

I'm looking to purchase a towel radiator for the bathroom.

It's a fairly small bathroom and needs to go behind the door so i do not want it to come out too far from the wall.

Could anyone recommend one? Do they last?

    I bought mine from this guy: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/heatandthings_W0QQ_dmdZ1QQ_ipgZ50QQ_sopZ12?_rdc=1

    It goes behind our door. His prices are fantastic too, quick delivery too. Would recommend him.

    Good morning: The OH's customers have used this supplier several times. Ensure the heat output is appropriate for your bathroom.

    Try your local PTS, there own brand towel warmers are manufactored by stelrad and the chrome finish is near perfect

    Even list price to non trade are resonable

    I am also looking for a towel radiator - could you tell me if the ones recommended above would be suitable to replace a normal radiator which is part of a central heating system? Thanks in advance.

    We went for a curved on from our local plumbers' merchant. Being curved, it was closer to the wall near the door so we can open it wider. Worth comparing depths et the ends where the door will be and see if you can get a valve which will fit flush too.

    Thanks Brig

    I always thought the curved ones came out more? I don't suppose you have a pic as it sounds like your space is similar to ours.
