## Description

The DryGuy Travel Dry DX Portable Boot and Shoe Dryer combines traditional convection drying with forced air to create a hybrid system that dries boots and shoes in less time than it takes most other portable dryers. An integrated fan at the front of the DX helps draw fresh air over the thermal heating elements, venting warm air throughout the toe box and removing any moisture. The DryGuy Travel DX features an AC/DC power adaptor which means it works in the home or from the car, making it the perfect travel accessory for any outdoor vacation. It will not damage fragile materials but cannot be used for gloves or socks. The DryGuy Travel Dry DX Portable Boot and Shoe Dryer weighs just 1.25 pounds and fits easily into carry-on luggage. Includes 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Review: Convenient compact travel dryer for ski boots, also works for street shoes - 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.
Review: They do the job - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you get just two dryers so you can dry both boots at the same time or is it just one dryer that you go back and forth on each boot?**
A: It comes with two driers, so both boots can dry at the same time.

**Q: Is there a way to disable the heat and just let the fan run?**
A: Yes you can, use a small screwdriver to open up the dryer, and cut one of the wires attached to the flat black rectangular plate. This is the heating element, and you just need to cut one of the wires to disconnect it.

**Q: I purchased this item on December 15th and they have stopped working. How do I retunr them?**
A: I tried to return mine due to the same reason.  I couldn't find a way to return/exchange or communicate with them after 30 days. :(  Not sure if I missed a hidden avenue though.

**Q: Walking the Camino in Spain...can these be used internationally with an adapter and converter**
A: The product photos show the power adapter. The label shows “Input: 100-240v”. This means it will work with most mains power globally. You’d just need an adapter from the North American “blade-style” prongs to the European “pin-style” prongs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Candidate for the perfect '12v power outlet' boot and shoe dryer! Almost..
*by I***N on November 25, 2019*

First the good: The overall design of these dryers appears to be solid and includes sufficient lengths of cable that do NOT don't require the shoes/boots to be placed within a foot or two of the outlet. In addition, the cables are long enough to be placed inside a tall pair of boots. I also like the way they integrated a simple adapter that allows you to use a 12v power outlet in a vehicle or wall outlet. A nice feature for those intending to use in a vehicle while traveling or plug into any standard 110vac wall outlet. To my knowledge, very few dryers offer this handy feature. Price is on par with other portable boot dryers. The 'not so great': The heating elements in each unit barely reaches 100 F. degrees. Supporting claim's that the units produce little or no heat (Human body = 98.6 F.). The integrated fans aren't terribly powerful but work just fine (better if the air being moved was heated!) The fans however are placed in the toe area of the shoe, which if pushed too far forward will limit the fans ability to effectively circulate air. A small/narrow shoe will compound this problem. Therefore the best way to resolve this issue is to fully insert the dryer, then retract a 1/2" The package states 3-5 hrs. dry time, which in my limited experience seems realistic for a pair of damp, sweaty sneakers or dress shoes. I didn't have a chance to test before returning this product however I'm firmly convinced this model would NOT adequately dry a pair of wet insulated boots. During one of my drying sessions, I plugged the unit into a 120vac watt meter, which indicated both boot dryers were consuming a total of 11 watts. To put that in perspective, an incandescent night light bulb is ~5 watts. Subtract a watt or two for the fans and power supply, and you're likely to be left with ~4 watts of heat being generated by each dryer. This simply is not enough to dry a pair of wet insulated boots or shoes, Who should buy this product? Anyone who intends to use this product frequently, is concerned about energy consumption and requires a shoe dryer that will safely dry a pair of damp gym sneakers or leather dress shoes over night inside a temperature controlled environment. If you intend to use this product in a damp and/or unheated space such as a garage or mud room to dry wet boots or shoes, please consider another product!! In closing, while this product didn't meet my needs, I gave it 4 stars because the dryers will work great for those who (1). understand and accepts its limitations (2). requires a 12v travel friendly product and (3). appreciates its ability to have essentially NO affect on their monthly energy bill!
