Bought a $40 hot towel warmer from amazon, regretted it after 3 weeks

I figured a cheap towel warmer would be fine for a home station but the thing barely got warm. After a week the heating element started making a weird noise and the towels came out damp instead of hot. I had to throw it out and buy a professional one for $120 from a beauty supply store. That was 6 months ago and it works great for facials and shaves. Lesson learned on buying the cheapest option for something that needs to actually heat up. Anyone else get burned by a budget version of salon equipment?

Did you try using it without water inside? My sister did that with a similar one and it sounded like a coffee grinder fighting a crow.
