A better boot dryer?

[ArlyA]

Our quality American made Peet boot dryer failed in 2 years. What dryer are you using that's held up? Need a replacement asap!

Call or write them! I have mine for 35years.

But we have boots to dry today. Its a daily thing here.

I have 2 dryers, a 25 year old Peet and a 4 tube no name from Menards. Go to dryer is still the Peet as it is low and slow while one is noisy and fast which is bad.
I agree, I'd buy another Peet and get ahold of them and I bet they will refund or at least replace.
If you have bootSSS, (plural) to dry, 2 dryers is a good thing.

We already have 2 but the other is smaller and used for gloves. Both used each day.

Simple answer... Park them over a heater vent....lol Interesting comment about your failed Peet. Not much to fail in them and ours is going on 15 years now with no issues. I did add a new on-off toggle switch however.

Peets warranty is rather worthless.

Not much inside of one anyway. Just a short Nichrome wire for heat and an on-off switch. Nothing to really break except for a few connections. Never looked at the warranty candidly. Nothing I could not repair in a few minutes anyway.

What part failed?

Peets warranty is rather worthless.

Have you called them?

 

[ArlyA]

The timer flailed, then whole board quit. If you dig and dig through their web page, you can find its actually 25 years warranty. I called them, then emailed them amazon screen shot of the purchase. I solder the wires in the unit after removing the control box. Do have an operable unit again.

You must have a much more expensive unit than we have... Ours just has a simple on-of toggle switch.

Far as drying boots and shoes however, your best bet is still a floor register and it has an added benefit...

As it dries them, it imparts moisture in the air and in the wintertime, moisture in the air is a good thing. Keeps wood from drying out, no static electricity sparks from your fingers and if your ambient moisture content inside is above 50%, you can turn the heat down and not feel cold.

We keep our abode at 55-60% RH all the time. We have 2 large Honeywell evaporative humidifiers in the house that run all winter. Amazing when you have humidity, no crusty noses either.

We run dehumidifiers here...all winter!
