DryGuy Travel Dry DX Boot Dryer and Shoe Dryer, Orange & Black

This is a convenient travel dryer. I tend to sweat when I ski and I like to dry my boots after each day of skiing. Over the years, I used 3-4 different boot dryers and have two larger size dryers in my closet. While I prefer to use those for drying at home, due to higher air flow, airplane travel imposes constraints on the size and weight of the items that one can take. I bought this dryer specifically for plane trips. It served me well during a week in Colorado in the beginning of January. It is about 2/3 of the size of regular dryer and little over half of the weight. There is a small very low power heater and a fan inside. You can barely hear and feel that it spins and it takes it a while to heat up, but it does. It takes 2-3 hours to dry ski boots. By the end of the drying cycle, the heater and the liners reach temperature of around probably 40 degrees Celcius, which is perfectly safe. The reason why one has to be careful with heating ski boots is because shell, liners, and footbeds become increasingly pliable as the temperature increases. Low temperature drying is the key to avoid unwanted alterations of the fit. The dryer comes with a 120 Volts power adapter with a car-like socket in which the dryer plugs in. This enables one to also use the dryer while driving in a car, it can be plugged into 12 Volts auxilary power outlet. A little trick which I learned is that the connection in the 12 volts socket oftentimes gets loose, so one has to check and make sure that it is completely plugged in and that the red LED on the 12 volts plug is on. There is no other indicator that the unit turned on, it is very quite. The length of the dryer is a little under 19 cm. It fits easily into my size 29.5 boots and I was able to fit it into my son's size 25.0 boots. With smaller boot sizes this dryer may be a problem because instep will make it difficult to slide into the boot. Obviously, it will not fit into kids boots with sizes below 19. It can be very easily and conveniently used to dry street shoes. In fact, this is where one finds it advantageous over the traditional ski boot dryers with long air pipes. Those would just fall down, whereas this one just slides in. The only slight disadvantage (in comparison to boot dryers with fan outside and air pipes) is lower air flow and the fact that air circulates mostly inside of the boot. This, however, does not seem to have any major impact on drying efficiency. It is a very low power dryer, like all ski boot dryers - around 30 watts. As I said, it uses slightly warmed up air and the drying time is several hours. If you thinking about a boot heater - it is not meant to do it.

Works like a charm, keeps my ski boots nice and dry and warms them up on the way to the mountain.

Navigated myself right into a swamp the other day in my 'hot' boots up to my ankles and got thoroughly soaked as I worked my way out. Took the soles out of my boots, and plugged these two into my goal zero's cig lighter and away they went. They make a peaceful sort of 'white noise' so they didn't keep me up all night as they ran, and pulled almost no power. Like 6-7 watts from the cig lighter which is pretty dang efficient. And while they don't get HOT they get warm if you use them as directed. Don't forget to take the insoles out if you can. The inside was fairly dry within a few hours, at least to the point of not molding obviously. Then within a few hours after that, the outside started to dry. By morning I'd say it was like 80%. You might think this's a bad result, but this's actually a vast improvement over the very real mold situation you're in. Or trying to run them under your foot-heat from your car and wearing out your alternator. Also made sure I rotated my soles around a little bit throughout the evening, night, morning, and they air-dried just fine under my canopy and my boots were ready by breakfast the next morning. They seem pretty robust, and they stayed right-side-up all by themselves. I mean honestly, this's exactly what I've wanted for a long time. I feel a million times better about off-grid boots situations now. I don't know longevity, but I ran these on and off for 12-15 hours or so testing them off a GZ, and seemed fine. They start off quiet, ramp up over like 10 min, then get slightly warm. again just enough so the boots won't mold. very happy with them. I recommend anyone with a battery keep one of these in their bag also.

以前購入したものの電気コードが怪しくなってきたので２回目の購入（５年以上使用）。ファン付きの靴乾燥器がこれしか見当たらなかったので前回と同じものを購入。

Apenas sale aire de ellos y tarda muchísimo tiempo en secar algo,si estas en campo con una batería resignate a que nunca se sequen, supongo son útiles si estas en tu hogar y puedes dejar un par de botas 2 días a que se seque pero si los usas para un viaje son demaciadp ineficientes, el cable es muy largo por que pasa por un conector de auto lo cual lo hace muy estorboso para viajar, imaginate 3 días una botas metidas en tu coche (lo digo por el cargador de coche), en pocas palabras no lo recomiendo para viajes o expediciones, únicamente para tu hogar y si tiene 2 días para que acelere un poco el proceso.

Well built dry your boots out so no more cold feet on a winters morning well worth the money!

They dried my ski boots so well after skiing. They do have to be plugged in for many hours (over night is best after a day skiing). They are teavel efficient and easy to take with you and store in your luggage. They also are very quiet and you don't even notice they are turned on. Great product and great purchase. I'm very happy with them. I just hope they last for many years.

It cooks the sole of the boot while the rest still wet. You need to buy uk adaptor. Car charger connection nuisance.
