Riviera Description
Warm towels are a luxury we don’t always get to enjoy—after all, putting towels into the dryer every time we took a shower would not only be inefficient, but inconvenient as well. Enter the Riviera towel warmer from WarmlyYours. This towel warmer is made of high-quality stainless steel with a brushed finish and has enough room to accommodate plenty of towels or bathrobes. The Riviera towel warmer adds class and elegance to the bathrooms in your home. With its brushed stainless steel finish, these electric towel warmers not only function well, they look great too. Each of the nine curved towel bars are designed to dry and warm large towels or bathrobes easily. Just imagine always feeling the comfort and coziness of a warm towel after your shower or bath, or waking up on a cold morning and being able to put on a warm bathrobe.
This towel warmer is also dual connection which means that it can be used “as is” to plug into a standard 120 VAC outlet or it can be modified by a licensed electrician to have a hardwired 120 VAC electrical connection. When this towel warmer is installed with a hardwired electrical connection, there is no unattractive and cumbersome cover plate required because of its unique design. The Riviera is safe and is cETLus listed. It comes with an LED power switch and TempSmart™ overheat protection to prevent the unit’s surface temperature from exceeding 167°F (75°C). For peace of mind, the Riviera is covered by our 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Optional towel warmer controls sold separately.

Customer Questions & Answers
Riviera has 32 Questions and Answers.
Can I install the towel warmer myself or do I need to hire someone to do it for me?
Each towel warmer comes with an instruction manual which fully explains how to install the device from start to finish. If you can hang a picture, you can probably install a heated towel rack. However, for hardwired models, you will need a licensed professional who is certified to do electrical wiring for the final hook-up.
Can the electric towel warmer be installed “upside down” to change the power access point?
Yes, most of our wall-mounted towel warmers have a fixed power location in the lower right corner. All of our heated towel racks are electric "dry" (liquid/oil-free) units and most can be installed "upside down". Doing so will result in the power location relocating from the lower right corner to the upper left corner.
Please see the installation video here: https://www.warmlyyours.com/en-US/video-media/towel-warmer-install
How do I use the towel warmer after it is installed?
Our towel warmers are designed for everyday use and all of them include an integrated on/off switch. Please note that the Ibiza model includes additional built-in timer options for controlling the unit. WarmlyYours also offers a wide array of controls that can be used with your heated towel rack. Depending on the control you select, you can program the heated towel rack to your schedule or operate it remotely. Just bear in mind that the heated towel rack is designed to gradually warm towels over the course of a day and does work best when towels are left to hang for about 3 hours.
How hot does the towel warmer actually get and is there any possibility of damage?
The heated towel rack will heat up to between 100 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It will not produce sufficient heat to injure you if you touch or brush up against it, though you should still exercise caution around the device. Please note that once a heated towel rail is warmed up, the surface temperature will remain constant and can't be adjusted incrementally.
The heated towel racks have a built-in offset from the wall (the size of the offset will depend on which model you purchased); the offset provides sufficient clearance to prevent any damage to the wall. You should also maintain a distance of four inches between the towel warmer and surrounding fixtures.
Additionally, nearly all of our electric towel warmer models* come with built-in TempSmart™ overheat protection which will shut the unit down automatically if the unit's surface exceeds the safety limit of between 149°F (65°C) and 167°F (75°C).
*Excludes the Elements model.
Does the towel warmer have an automatic shutoff function?
The heated towel rack is designed to stay on at a relatively constant temperature to keep your bathrobes and towels fresh, warm, and dry. However, should you need to turn the unit off for any reason, you can use the integrated on/off switch on the unit. If you’re using a control for your heated towel rack, you may need to shut off the unit there as well.
Most of our electric towel warmer models* come with built-in TempSmart™ overheat protection which will shut the unit down automatically if the unit's surface exceeds the safety limit of between 149°F (65°C) and 167°F (75°C).

Replacement for Towel heating hanger
Gordon F., Glen Allen, VA on 07/28/2022
I loved the towel heater, but it only lasted a few years. I had to purchase a replacement at full price. It appeared it was 1/8 shorter, which made instillation difficult. I hope this one last much longer, they are too expensive to keep replaceing.
Response from WarmlyYours:
Thank you for your review. We are constantly improving our products, so a towel warmer purchased a few years ago may differ slightly from our currently-available units. We processed your replacement unit at 50% off the current MSRP plus shipping and tax. Please let us know if that amount does not match what you were billed. Thanks again for taking the time to submit your review.
great customer service but design limitations
Robert K., Montreal, QC on 05/18/2022
While the customer service individuals were fantastic, and the rack worked great until it didn't, the product itself was disappointing in the sense that it is non reparable and therefore environmentally a very poor choice . It broke my heart to send the entire burnt out unit to the landfill after only 5 years because it lacked any overheat protection. Overheating btw that is not evidently not so difficult to achieve.
Response from WarmlyYours:
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide this review. We really do use these as opportunities to grow and learn from the people who are actually using our products, like yourself. You're absolutely right about overheat protection which is why, over the last couple of years, we've worked to onboard that feature for nearly every single one of our towel warmer models. I also want to be very clear that we make every effort to repair the towel warmers that are sent in as returns or for warranty replacements--not only as a matter of "good business" but also because we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. Again, we really appreciate your feedback and we hope you'll give our (now overheat protected) towel warmers another chance in the future.
Love it

Easy to install works great.
Towel heater was relatively easy to install
Mike D., Cary, NC on 02/28/2022
Towel heater was relatively easy to install. I definitely recommend a timer switch. We cannot do without the towel warmer. Highly recommend “WarmlyYours”.
Works perfectly

Great towel warmer and I even have it plugged into a Phillips Hue smart plug to turn on and off at different times of the day
The rack was exactly as described, well packaged for shipment
Alan B., Ann Arbor, MI on 11/23/2021
The rack was exactly as described, well packaged for shipment & it arrived undamaged. My electrician installed it, and it works great. Based on my experience, I’d definitely recommend WarmlyYours.
