DryGuy Force Dry DX Boot and Shoe Dryer

Brand: DryGuy

The workhorse of the DryGuy line. A central rotary blower pushes warm air into four ports, so two pairs of boots go on at once, or a pair of boots plus gloves and a helmet. Two removable extensions handle tall shafts up to about 16 inches. Air heats to roughly 105F, gentle enough for ski boot liners and leather, and most gear is dry in one to three hours. There is a heat and no heat switch plus a three hour timer.

Good pick for a family that comes home with piles of wet gear every weekend. The unit is chunky and needs floor space near an outlet, so a small apartment hallway may feel crowded. The blower hums quietly, not silent, and the timer maxes out at three hours, which is short for soaked leather work boots.
