Summary: "Dryer-hot"? Not exactly.
Comment: I want to love this thing, especially with what it cost me and how many years I looked forward to owning a towel warmer. Unfortunately, after a couple weeks of use I can report that it's quite disappointing. Does it fit a bath sheet? Technically... but the larger the towel, the more you have to cram it in, and the more densely the fabric is packed the less it heats up evenly. I have tried it under the following conditions, with the following results:
1. Bath sheet and/or towel: Warms unevenly, nowhere near "dryer-hot". If left in the warmer more than a few minutes after the "heating" cycle ends, it cools rapidly. Heat dissipates from the towel very quickly anyway, once it's out. Fresh-from-dryer towels seem to hold their heat a lot longer. Multiple cycles (i.e., pressing the button again once the machine allows it) helps a little.
2. Pajamas only: They come out much warmer than towels, probably due to the looser fabric distribution. However, the heat dissipates within seconds-- twenty, max-- once they're out, and these are flannel pajamas I've been wearing.
3. Both towel and pajamas, with jammies on the bottom: Forget it. Spotty patches of warmth, making the rest of the fabric seem colder by comparison.
I think this gadget would be most useful for heating socks while the kids are playing in the snow. If you do buy one, be prepared to monitor the cycle times during your relaxing shower so you can keep it running as much as the safety settings allow. Otherwise you will probably find the pleasure of a nice warm towel is outweighed by the annoyances of everything that isn't what you'd hoped for. My advice is to spend your $75 on a couple of really fantastic fluffy towels and a box of candy bars to bribe your kid to schlep them to you from the dryer on demand.

Summary: Initial impression - small, but certainly large enough
Comment: I ordered this towel warmer as a Christmas gift for my wife. The instructions state, "For best results use a standard bath towel measuring approximately 30in x 60in (76cm x 153cm). Use 100% cotton or cotton blend towels." I read the reviews of people griping about either how small it was or how great it was and took a gamble. My gamble paid off. I opened the box, pulled the unit out, Took one of our "Biltmore" gotton towels folded in thirds across the short side and quarters along the length, and the towel simply dropped in for a perfect fit, flush to the top and the lid closed perfectly. There was MORE than enough room for the towel which I BELIEVE (based on the Belk.com site) is 30x60in. Even so, if your towel IS larger it still should fit, but you might need to fold it a little differently.
After we officially use it, I will update this review further.

Summary: I LOVE IT!
Comment: I've had my towel spa for well over a year now and am still amazed how wonderful it works. I also have oversized towels, and my towels are sooooo toasty when I get out of the shower. Not sure why everyone else is saying its to small and their towels don't fit. Also, its a "towel spa" - not a "robe spa" - of course it doesn't fit a robe. I just had to write a review and give this product 5 stars! I live in the cold midwest and this is a great thing to have on those below zero mornings!!!! I would definitely buy this product again - and I have referred it to all of my friends.

Summary: Small but works well
Comment: I got this for my husband for his birthday. I was a little hesitant because of some of the negative comments. However, he loves it. He unfolds the towel before he puts it in, and says that the towel is very warm all the way through. I don't know how it would be for two towels or very large towels, but for regular sized towels it works very well.
