"What is the difference between these electric and the hydronic models?"
Electric is "electric oil filled". Mineral oil is heated by an electric
element. Hydronic is empty and hot water is circulated through it.
"How come Myson looks almost the same as a different brand
that costs less? In otherwords, is the extra money worth it?"
Unfortunately towel warmers are like cars.
What car looks like a Cadillac, functions like a Cadillac but costs a lot less than a Cadillac? Top quality generally costs a lot more (but most of the time is worth it if you can afford it).
"Which is better suited for home use, these electric models or the hydronic models?"
Both are for home use. Electric is easier to install and more easily turned
on-and-off. Myson offers an optional wall timer. Hydronic is usually used when
there is a recirculating system/pump in the house.
Also if there is a hot water boiler, or there is a steam boiler then hydronic towel warmers are what is generally used.
With that a "closed loop" system is recommended (to prevent electrolyses leaching failure which is induced by high mineral content induced by a recirculating system).
