Breaks upon assembly......
The product does as expected which is why it got 3 stars. It lost two stars because of the assembly nightmare....Product showed up this morning at around 9:00 AM. Took them out of the box and left them on the counter. It was -12 below this morning so everything needs some time to warm up. I did read that you should let them warm up before assembling, but the giant green sticker on the product itself helps. Also, living in a state that has a good chunk of its winter below ZERO brings with it the common sense that plastic is brittle at those temps.So by 2:30 I figured they were warmed up enough. Five and a half hours in the house with a room temperature of 71 degrees should be fine. Opened the product up and everything seemed like good build quality. Perfect for drying out the gloves of 3 kids! So I line up the first nozzle, get it even, and push evenly but firm and SNAP, one of the two plastic clips that holds it in place breaks off.OK....maybe I didn't do it right. So I line up the second one, very easily, but firmly, start to push it in and SNAP, off comes another clip. So I line up the 3rd one and try again.....SNAP! That time BOTH of the plastic clips snap off! The next two nozzles lose a clip each being installed. I finally get to the last nozzle thinking, "I'll just throw some Gorilla Glue on them to keep them in place." I line it up, give a push, and BINGO! The sixth nozzle went on without losing a plastic clip! 1 for 6 isn't bad......or isn't that good.I do realize and understand that cold plastic is brittle. But plastic that is 71 degrees shouldn't have a problem like this did. It leads me to believe it's not a plastic problem, it's a product problem. The clips either need to be a little smaller or offer a little more give so you don't break them off when installing the nozzles. For me, the product will still work as advertised. I just plan on using a little Gorilla Glue to keep the nozzles from coming off every time a kid pulls their gloves off.

Great idea, poor design. Broken tabs everywhere.
First, the good:This product is wonderful! I had some serious reservations about its efficacy since our furnace is efficient and not constantly running. But it works better than our electric warmer/dryer for small childrens' items like gloves!Now the bad:The only reason that I have given it 3 stars instead of 5 is the one problem - the tabs on the cones break. There are tips mentioned by reviewers and by the manufacturer - let it warm up to room temperature, one slowly, work the cones back and forth. They still break. On ours, 2 out of the 6 cones have broken tabs, and the cones will not stay in properly after that. The product comes with a travel/storage bag so that you can disassemble it at the end of the season and store it. Don't do that - more tabs will break. If the manufacturer could design a better tab insertion (for instance, cut outs for the tabs and then a twist into place), this would be a 5 star product.

We LOVE this thing
We LOVE this thing. I heard about this through some friends who purchased on Amazon and had a giftcard to spend so I finally got one. I had been eyeing it for almost a year! I put my kids gloves on it after school and by bedtime they are dry. It's awesome! Mine does not have the boot attachment but I will say that my kids feet are small enough right now that I can use the regular arms for their boots and it works fine. I recommend and wold buy again in a heartbeat

You really need forced heat inside winter gloves to dry ...
You really need forced heat inside winter gloves to dry them I side. A boot dryer with glove attachment works. Even then it takes at least two 240 minute cycles to dry them for tomorrow's work.

Great quality item that works perfectly!
This is the coolest thing! Just put in on the heat register, put your gloves, mittens, socks, hats - whatever! - over the spindles and they get dry super fast. My dryer was super high quality, and I had no problems assembling it at all. This is a must-have for this Southerner who's been transplanted to to Michigan!

Four Stars
Would have been great if they didnt put the sticker that was very hard to peel

Drying rack
Works really good for mittens and hats. Would recommend for light drying over night. Since it only drys when your heater runs. Not a great product for boots so much—it can, but it will tip over easily.. Fits on heaters flat on floors.

What an amazing product, and to be made in my home ...
What an amazing product, and to be made in my home state. This works amazing well at getting gloves, mittens and hats dry in record time. I would recommend this to anyone with kids. Haven't tried it for shoes yet.
