Can you leave it on all the time so that towels are always warm?

I wet my towels first thing in morning before appointments & I leave them in there with it on all day, but turn it off when I use the last towel. Hope that answers your question. I've never left it on over night or without towels.

i do not leave mine on all the time. but then, i am not using it daily. i do keep it on during the whole day that i am using it though. when i am done, i unplug the unit, empty the water tray, and prop the door open to ventilate. i hope this was useful for you.

Hi yes, but the truth is the towels get pretty hot really fast! so I find that I am turning it of when I am almost done with my client. I put fresh towels in and when the next client comes by the time I need my first towel they are pretty hot! Good luck. Lori

It stays on all the time when plugged in (no on/off switch). But it's a gentle warm, similar to the hat heating pads you might use indoors.

Janet, it doesn't take too long once the warmer is heated up. Like an iron or oven, you have to turn it on and let it warm up for 15-30 minutes before you put your towel in. I usually get up, turn it on, plan my outfit, make coffee, etc. then put my towel in right before I take a shower. Then after the shower it's toasty warm. Overall, I've been pleased with it.

I leave mine on all the time. Over three months now. There doesn't seem to be any harm in doing so.

I warm 2 towels, and a hair twist towel plus my gown at the same time. I also use it to dry the towels and wash rags before turning it off. It does pull some BTU's so either use a timer or don't forget to turn off after about 30 min. Love my towel warmer!!

Hello. You can certainly leave it on all night. I do all the time. Also electricity is much cheaper in the later hours. :-)

No- mine is on 24/7 and it never melts or emits moisture. I know not to keep them in an area with high humidity like a bathroom. Ours is in our living room and it's wonderful.

There isn't a temperature control, but the towels get very warm...sometimes to the point that I ned to fan the towel abit to cool it down before placing on client.

Might take about 20 minutes to warm a wet towel, and 5 minutes to warm a dry towel. It keeps the bathroom a little warm and damp-free. Such a pleasure to have.

Just wet the towel with either room temperature or cool water, but never hot. The towel will activate and stay cool for a long period of time (2-3 hours) then just repeat process. It's machine washable. DO NOT place in the dryer. Before placing it around neck or head or wherever, make sure sure u squeeze excess water so it doesn't drip. I hope this helps.

Nope. It's a manual switch. However I leave mine one for hours during the day. As long as it is sitting on a safe surface it's fine on. I have had it auto shut off once or twice because it got too hot but that was before I found the right heat setting. It gets REALLY hot so don't turn it up all the way and leave it. It works great for 90% of fabrics at a medium heat level.

Yes it's fine to leave it on. It feels a little tacky, but it won't hurt not to shower. I do it every day.

Is just a question of time. Normally I leave the the AMBA on for 1 or 2 hours with the "wet" towels and has been enough.

It could very well be the way you are putting the towel in. Also we found our new house with sufficient electrical capacity greatly increased the output of the unit. Hope this helps.

You could leave it on all the time, but the wax scent may eventually lose its potency. I turn mine on when I get home from work and turn it off when I go to bed at night.

No, not automatically. There are "high", "low", and "keep warm" settings, but they must be changed manually.

Hi Rachel, our towels are often slightly damp to begin with, having been hung in the bathroom, and there seems to be no issue. That includes running consecutive cycles of heat sometimes. Of course, you'd want to wipe out the interior from time to time with a damp cloth and some soap to keep the germs at bay. Our towels, however, are never soaking wet. BTW, I iron my shirt and pants each weekday morning and during the colder months will put them into the warmer for a few minutes after ironing to keep them heated prior to putting everything on. A nice touch!!
