I bought this after disappointment with the Peet 'Original' (convection low heat device). I've used the Maxx Dry XL for a week now and I'm very pleased with it.
12/14/2010 - beginning second winter with Maxx Dry XL - still blowing, buying another for #2 Son. Do not bother with convection Peet, you want the blower.

January 2013 - Maxx Dry XL still drying wet gloves and boots - 5 STARS.
