Head-to-Head Breakdown
Strengths & Weaknesses
PEET Original 2-Shoe Electric Boot Dryer
- Named Best Overall by both Bob Vila and Yahoo after hands-on testing
- Runs completely silent, so it works in a bedroom, cabin or shared apartment
- Made in the USA with a 25-year warranty and a $59.99 list price
- Convection drying takes 8 to 12 hours, far slower than a forced-air unit
- Dries only one pair at a time unless you buy the larger multi-port PEET
- Tall boots and waders need extension tubes that cost extra
JobSite Silent Boot Dryer
- Bob Vila's Best Value and Yahoo's Best Bang for the Buck, at about $35 a pair
- Zero noise with no fan or motor, so nothing wears out
- Uses only 36 watts, cheaper to run than most light bulbs
- Overnight drying only, no way to speed it up for a fast turnaround
- One pair per unit, so a whole family means buying several
- 2-year warranty is short next to PEET's 25 years
The Verdict
Our Bottom Line
The PEET Original was the only dryer to land at the top of two separate hands-on tests. Bob Vila ran five dryers through 15 tests over five weeks and made it Best Overall, and Yahoo gave it the same title after its own research. It works by silent convection, so one tester told Bob Vila her husband now just slips his hiking boots over it every night and they are dry by morning. PEET builds it in the USA with no fan or moving parts, which is why the 25-year warranty dwarfs the 1-to-5-year cover on every powered rival here. At $59.99 it is also the pick Bob Vila singled out for apartments and shared spaces, because it makes zero noise.

- Anyone who wants a set-and-forget dryer that works overnight without fan noise
- People drying leather boots who want the gentlest possible warmth and a 25-year warranty
- Apartment and cabin owners who cannot have a fan running while they sleep
JobSite Silent Boot Dryer
The JobSite Silent Boot Dryer does the same fanless convection job for about $35, and two test teams rewarded it. Bob Vila named it Best Value and Yahoo called it Best Bang for the Buck. It uses the same 36 watts as the PEET, runs at zero noise with no fan or motor to wear out, and there is nothing to operate beyond an on/off switch with an LED. You wait until morning either way, so paying less for the same overnight result is an easy call.
- Budget buyers who want silent overnight drying for about $35
- Households adding a second or third dryer at a mudroom or back door
- Anyone fine waiting until morning who does not need a brand-name warranty
