Product Information

Full details

The Myhomeware Dual Fuel Electric Heated Towel Rail Radiator is the ideal heating solution for homeowners seeking year-round utility in bathrooms, kitchens, or utility rooms. Designed for maximum versatility, it functions via your central heating system during the winter and switches to an independent electric mode for drying towels when the main boiler is off. While it offers excellent flexibility, it is important to note that the electric element provides a fixed temperature, which may not be adjustable for those seeking variable heat control.
