Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband bought this towel warmer from amazon and I felt i needed to write a review. The concept of it is wonderful and it does what it is intended to do. It warms up the towel very nicely. Just pop in your towel, hop in the shower, and by the time you are done, the towel is toasty warm for you. This item however, is only used by my husband because I CAN NOT stand the stinky smell of the machine. We have had it for 2 weeks now and as other reviewers said, you must run a few cycles without towels to make the stink go away. Well, i did this every night at least once or twice in the day for a week...without the lid on top to let the stink air out...and it STILL wreaks of something that makes me want to vomit. I even tried to put in dryer sheets in the bottom of the barrel, hoping to get rid of the smell....but to no avail. I never use the warmer because i feel dirty using the towel when i smell the smell comming from the machine. I really wanted this to be fabulous but the smell is just too gross for me. On the other hand,if you are like my husband and dont mind the yucky smell after a nice clean shower, then you may like this. I like clean fresh smells....especially after a shower. *If you have sensitivity to smells then this is not for you.
