Rank #5 in Best Electric Heated Towel Rail 2026: 10 Ranked, Wattage Checked
Greened House Chrome Heated Towel Rail with Timer, 400 x 800mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Greened House chrome electric towel rail sits at number five in this guide. It is a 400mm wide by 800mm high chrome panel at £98.44, fitted with a 200-watt element, a 7-day programmable timer and a built-in room thermostat, filled with rust inhibitor and sold with brackets and fixings included. At the time of writing it carries 4.3 out of 5 from 202 ratings, with 296th place in Amazon's Towel Warmers category.
The number worth pausing on is the 200 watts, because the same listing says the rail does not stay at 200 watts. The fourth bullet states that once the rail reaches working temperature the PTC element allows the power used to hold it there to fall by up to 30% — so 200W is a maximum draw, not a steady running figure, and it cannot be compared directly against the fixed wattages of other rails in this guide. Two smaller oddities sit in the same data: the specification field headed 'Customer Reviews' contains raw page code rather than review text, and the star breakdown supplied with the listing adds up to 100 ratings against the 202 shown on the product page. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing as supplied to us, not from our own testing.
