It works just as advertised, and I'm embarrassed that I did without one for decades, letting my wet clothes fester and rot.

I bought this two-shoe unit, then an additional PEET four-shoe one.

Neither unit is perfect - this one has no on/off switch and only an extremely gentle airflow. It works fine, but surely a little fan would speed it up. Turning it on by plugging it in is primitive, I got a simple outlet timer to make sure the unit turns off automatically (http://www.amazon.com/review/RWR67T8FG4SG0/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm). The four-shoe unit has a somewhat noisy fan and is bigger than necessary, but does have more airflow and a timer. I can't say the molded plastic is a work of art.

These now are part of the standard processing in my house.
