Reddit reviews Panda Portable Ventless Cloths Dryer Folding Drying Machine with Heater

I have one of these. I get home from hockey, hang up my gear, set it for three hours, and the gear is dry the next morning. None of my gear smells, not even the gloves. Well worth the price.

While I applaud your cost saving measures, you live in a shared space and that means you need to change behavior if something is bothering your neighbors.

In the future, think about changing to a different model of dryer that doesn't spin. But your landlord isn't probably going to like he's been paying your laundry bill. That's a reason the machines cost money and that's to offset cost.

I'd also review you laundry habits, why are you doing laundry so much. Try to see if it's possible to give it another wear before wash. Drying, especially spin drying, can be hard and damaging to clothes, and wear them out faster.

Panda dryer

Panda Dryer is the same thing as Rocket but a lot cheaper. Toss the gear in there, spray it with some antibacterial and good to go.

Same thing, half the price: https://www.amazon.com/Panda-Portable-Ventless-Folding-Machine/dp/B01AVGCPN2/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1523552365&sr=8-12&keywords=clothes+dryer

I have this and it is the best $60 I have spent on hockey. It is identical in every way to the more expensive Rocket Dryer.

You have to buy some "S" hooks separately but all of my gear aside from my helmet fits in it it and it dries everything completely within an hour. I just leave everything inside of it for easy storage, as the footprint is really small. This would work well in a MW garage, though i'd probably unzip it once everything is dry just to be sure condensation doesn't somehow form when not in use.

I got you.

Panda Dryer

and some Hooks

The smell stays pretty contained in the dryer. After the dryer is finished, put your shit back in your bag and store it wherever. Most of the smell comes from leaving wet equipment in a bag.

My girlfriend has never once smelt the equipment in the dryer or the bag.

Edit: Seeing you're a goalie makes this a little harder I imagine.

A boot dryer is ideal. I bought 2 on clearance at Costco for around $35 each that are similar to this one: https://www.bedbathandbeyond.ca/store/product/heavy-duty-boot-drying-station-in-black-grey/1045413636?skuId=45413636&mrkgcl=610&mrkgadid=3281585207&rkg_id=0&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand__&product_id=45413636CA&adpos=1o2&creative=258661016819&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlqLdBRCKARIsAPxTGaUyZQyHZk6AWdTL3a0DVO-1TwecVPKrS1gk3o6scLrMxiHUMpLBZOcaArgaEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

They'll dry your skates well, plus you can use them for your helmets and even shin guards. I put my gloves on there too, but turn the heat off on the one that the gloves is on so that the palms don't get dried out.

For the rest of the gear I use a knockoff version of the Rocker Dryer called the Panda Dryer: https://www.amazon.com/Panda-Portable-Ventless-Folding-Machine/dp/B01AVGCPN2

That will dry everything really well in an hour or two.

Nice DIY solution, but as a heads up, the rocket driers are under $70 for the non-branded version.

I’ll still stick to my $10 repurposed shoe rack. I could always point a fan on it, but never have issues with gear not drying out overnight
