I had been hesitant about a glove/boot dryer being quiet and doing an effective job.  This one had great reviews so I gave it a chance and haven't been disappointed at all.  We've had a lot of snow this year too and it continues to work great.  We also use it to dry out the inside of sparring gloves--which are thick--and it does a fantastic job with that as well.  Definitely recommend this dryer.
