Should I use a dedicated circuit for a towel warmer?
I purchased a 120 volt (70 watt) towel warmer that will be hard wired into our bathroom. I have 12-2 wire on a 20AMP breaker already in there that will be used for outlets and lighting.
Should I run a dedicated line for the towel warmer or can I use what's already there?
This is the towel warmer I purchased: 24" Keegan Hardwired Towel Warmer - Bathroom
Thanks!

If that towel warmer is placed where it can be reached from the shower or tub I'd take power off the load side of a GFCI outlet. Actually I'd take the power off the load side of a GFCI outlet regardless of where it's mounted in the bathroom.
