Did a quick search on Boot Dryers as I am in the market for one and couldn't find anything recent so.....

I wanna hear your personal experiences on boot dryers you have used. Please include price you paid and pros/cons.

Gracias

Family bought this for me last Christmas. I mostly use it in the spring but its kinda cool. Totally silent, works on thermal convection.



Pros:

Works great, use it on my spring gloves as well
Drip tray if you're drying something that's still soaking wet

Not much of a con but tight fit to get boots on, but as long as you cover the top it will dry them out.

Not saying that's the best price but they bought mine locally at Harbor Freight, I've seen deals on it there for $25.00

Deviant if I could find that for $25 thats not a bad deal assuming it works good. I think the one my buddy has was like $40 and it doesn't stand by itself at all.


And Wrath I like your DIY! Although I don't have the tools or supplies to build such a contraption....

Serrius (Serius?) Hot Ratz. AC adaptor as well as an Auto plug. About $20. I got mine @ REI. Portable. Quite. Gets mildly warm but never Hot. Small enough to fit in gloves too. My boot liners are bone dry after a few hours.

I've never had a need. If my boots are wet at the end of the day, I just take the liners out and hang them over the back of a chair near a heater overnight. The odd time I've used the hairdryer in a hotel, that we before I clued in to taking the liners out... :icon_scratch:

I lay out my stuff in front of the gas fireplace as soon as I get home. But I have been considering getting something anyways, especially for boots. Saw this one in a recent Harbor Freight circular: Four Post Boot and Glove Dryer

Combine it with the 20% off coupons they always have floating around, and it seems pretty reasonably priced: http://www.harborfreight.com/digitalsavings.html

I've used these with a lot of success. I have a dc outlet in the trunk of my car so by the time I get to the mountain (30 mis) they're dry and warm. The only gripe is that the wires ran straight out the back and it puts pressure on them until they eventually break. It looks like newer models have the wires running out the top to correct this issue.

Well this was a total surprise. My uncle got the boys a cool unexpected gift for Christmas.
Each boy got one now I don't need to worry about drying all our gear. They can put them in their rooms and out of sight and dry. Way cool and thankful
