Hedgehog Dryer is an innovative product collection that revolutionizes the drying of shoes, boots, gloves, and outdoor gear for wet and snowy climates.

The Hedgehog Dryer collection is unique and highly customizable for efficient and effective drying. Specialized turbine technology pushes humidity out of gloves and shoes to dry them in a matter of minutes. It features an adjustable timer up to 10 hours; multiple heat options for different materials; multiple fan settings, including quiet and tornado mode; and on/off switches so that air is focused only on the products that need drying. To ensure safety, we use a fire-safe ceramic heating element, gel-coated electronics, and safety-start and shut-off features. Since the product is modular, it is possible to replace parts without replacing the entire product to reduce waste; this focus on sustainability is also unique in the industry. With a sleek, modern Scandinavian design available in black and white, Hedgehog is a drying and organizing solution for any individual or family household.

Hedgehog Dryer's powerful fan delivers the fastest drying efficiency on the market. The same fan can be connected to complementary Hedgehog products for a variety of uses and locations: Octopus, Hanger, Wall, and Family/Buddy.

-Octopus is a direct competitor with traditional shoe and boot dryers, but with a more powerful fan and a better design.

-Wall is a shoe and glove dryer that is wall-mounted, with increased capacity so it is great for families and homes that have a lot of guests.

-Hanger dries both shoes and gloves and hangs discreetly in a closet or on a hook; it is ideal for urban and smaller spaces.

-Our newest model is the Hedgehog Dryer Family (or Buddy) edition, which dries shoes, gloves, and heavier boots simultaneously. With the ability to dry a wet pair of shoes in just 5 minutes, this product works hard indoors so you can enjoy the great outdoors as soon as possible.

By improving design, functionality, and performance, Hedgehog Dryer is a superior product transforming the shoe dryer industry.
