Rank #6 in Best Electric Heated Towel Rail 2026: 10 Ranked, Wattage Checked
Newark Anthracite Electric Heated Towel Rail, 1200 x 500mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Newark Anthracite Electric Heated Towel Rail is a 1200 x 500mm wall-mounted ladder rail, oil filled and finished in anthracite. It sits at number six in this guide at £119.00, with 4.4 out of 5 from 62 reviews and a category rank of 7 in Towel Warmers.
Its headline number is the one to handle carefully. Newark quotes a heat output of 2166 BTU and then states that the rate is based on the Delta Rating of T60, so the figure only applies at that one laboratory condition. The listing gives no wattage anywhere, which means it cannot be lined up against rails that quote watts. The dimensions row is a second problem inside the same listing: the specification table reads 120L x 120W x 120H centimetres, while the title and the dimensions bullet both say 1200 x 500mm. The star breakdown supplied with the listing also adds up to 100 ratings against the 62 shown in the review count. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not tested the rail ourselves.
