Peet Shoe Dryer: The
shoe dryer did the job
on my skates.

The Peet Shoe Dryer did quite a good job on my ice skates the other day. The boots of the skates were dried gently and suffered no damage. The dryer worked in complete silence, so it could be placed in a lot of different locations in our house.

The instructions that came with the Peet Shoe Dryer warned that the dryer should not be placed near a second heat source, like a heating register. They also say that you should keep the vents at the rear bottom of the unit free of blockages. I think it's reasonable to add that the shoe dryer should be placed on a hard floor (basement, kitchen, foyer, etc.), not on a carpeted surface, but that's my conclusion based on seeing it work in person.

I can see a lot of uses for the Peet Shoe Dryer coming up in the next couple of months. It's only a matter of time before Kathleen or I come into the house with soaking wet shoes. Any of situation like that will be a prime opportunity to use the shoe dryer. You can see lots more photos of the shoe dryer in action in the Operation Gadget Photo Gallery.
