Hedgehog Dryer is a family-owned company that started with a problem at home: too many wet gloves, shoes and boots. Its answer is a range of powerful dryers that push warm air through gear, and the company says it designed the impeller and fan housing from scratch with engineers at the Waterpower Laboratory at NTNU, the Norwegian university that designs water turbines for power plants. The brand says it dries most items in 20 to 30 minutes, big boots or wellies in up to 40, and a boxing glove in under ten.

It suits skiers, runners, hikers, footballers and anyone with a hallway full of damp kit. The homepage lists awards including TIME Best Inventions 2025 for the Hedgehog GO, and every model has a 10-hour timer, an odour remover, adjustable heat and airflow, and a tornado mode. There's also a no-heat setting for leather boots. On safety, the brand says each dryer has a ceramic heating element, a protective coating on the electronics, two fuses and a temperature sensor.

The dryers come in several models, including the Buddy, the Hanger (sold as a portable shoe and glove dryer), the Wall and the Octopus, and adapters let some of them take extra hoses. The DRIVE heats and dries boots in the car, and the new Hedgehog JET is a different kind of product altogether: an indoor leaf blower that the brand calls its strongest blower so far.

One thing that stands out is the parts shop. Spare hoses, adapters, connectors, steel pipes and main body pipes are all sold separately, from $5 for a two-pack of connectors to $79 for the wall adapter, so you can repair or extend a dryer instead of replacing it.

The brand also points to coverage in USA Today, Lifehacker and Best Products, where the Hanger was picked as a ski-season essential for drying gloves, socks and shoes. Design awards listed on the homepage include the A' Design, Muse and NY Design awards in 2024 and a double gold at the Tokyo Design Award in 2026.
