Ive tried out a few of these types of boxes and these are by faaaar the absolute best. We own several models of boot and glove dryers and this Dry Guy DX is the most effective and versatile. Anyway expensive stickers but you get what you pay for . No issues with sound quality, the pop filter works just fine. I am a nurse and usually wear sanita or dansko clogs for 12 hour shift?s. Cant complain much. 5w stride rites. I first got these in khaki but returned them because they looked more of an off-white color. Should have got a size smaller I can?t even fix it, the plastic just snapped off.
