When I bought this item I was going for more inexpensive. I was hoping that they would work really well on my Magnum boots. Right now with the summer season coming around boots have a hard time breathing if they don't have a lot of mesh on them. I tried everything you could think of to get rid of the odor out of my shoes. I tried homemade Pinterest recipes for foot odor and even went as far as to put baking soda in them. The reason why I'm going to such lengths is that it's hard to find good comfortable shoes. I work sometimes at least 12 hours and one work day and it's hard for my boots at to dry naturally. This causes your shoes to stink really badly. I happened to be at my job where I work in a retail store where they sell shoes. I was going to buy one of their dryer seen as how it indicated that it takes care of foot odor and bacteria. I was willing to pay $37 for this item. I went online and found this particular brand and a very low price under 20 bucks. By far the reason that got me to buy it was the fact that it's small and can actually be stored it any basket or container. If you get one of the docking stations it seems to me like you have to have a proper storage area where you can use it if you don't have a lot of room this is an inconvenience. The product came as described the color white there's no on and off features. It heats up once you plug it up. The product has no issue with extending out. I put in my boots and seal them up really well I think I checked in about 10 to 15 minutes after I had plugged it up it doesn't generate any heated air. But the generates heat up. Seeing as how I get about 6 hours of sleep before I have to go and my 5am job, this item drys my boots very quickly. The only downside is that I wish that the core could be longer. but it hooks up to any extension cord so that's a plus. It does recommend that you do not wrap the cord around the item. This seems to be a feature of a lot of items anymore. Unless you read the instructions this is the way that companies make their money. I Used To Remember products years ago where didn't matter if you wrap the cord around them and they still lasted for years. By putting on cheaper chords on your product they almost surely know that if you did not read any instructions they can say that the damage to the product was done by you. I would definitely go over the manufacturer's instructions before you set up the item for use.

works as expected. doesn't have a fan. wish it did. it warms up my ski boots, gloves. needs 2 or 3 hours to dry the boots. same with the gloves, unless i've been skiing in the rain all day at heavenly, then the gloves need all night to dry. if it had a fan i'd give it 5 stars.

These were a Christmas gift for my husband who is outside in all kinds of weather. When he plugged them in and turn them on they shorted out and fried the plug. The first time he had a chance to use them as well after the return deadline so I won't be able to return them

Why didn't I buy this years ago? Works well for gloves (but the fingers tend to not dry), but marvelous for boots. If you ski multiple days in a row, or if your feet tend to be a bit cold in your boots, these are a must-have.

Great over night shoe dryers. Don't listen to the boy littering this page with negative comments and reviews, he obviously isn't using them right. Great for after you get out of the woods or off the boat. They do take a while, but since when are shoe dryers quick? My only complaint is that the design does not accommodate the long leg portion of knee-high boots, and the cord essentially won't let the heater slip all the way down, so I rolled the leg portion down so I had enough cord to allow it to slip in deep enough.
