It is one of those things you don’t know you need one until you have it. I have been using it regularly for a few days, especially for my sweaty gym shoes. Airs well in under 30 minutes. I don’t know if the blue light is UV or just blue. Nothing said on the packaging. But I am able to store away my shoes after drying them. The monsoon weather wasn’t helping my shoes air / sun dry. The construction is light, bordering on tacky. And topples when you load one shoe, before loading the other one. And reverse when taking them off. The fan for the air circulation is slightly noisy but I am not complaining. The two-pin plug is a BIG BIG plus. Other brands offer similar product at comparable price points BUT with USB cable / batteries. I will update the review when I dry my shoes after washing them.

Saw this on YouTube shorts and ordered it, I must say it works like magic, dries the shoes well and is very easy to use. Although build quality could be better but recommended.

I needed this product since at times shoes smell or become damp. Happy with the performance. Looks sturdy.
