Works but cheaply made

The drier works and performs its function. Instructions and not that helpful and the hanger part is very flimsy so you are going to have to be very careful, S hooks fly all over the place so be careful not to loose them. Overall it works and i would by again.

Works, gotta be careful with it

Gear is bone dry once the timer is up. (There is a dial you can select how long you want to dry for). Some assembly required doesn't take long. Comes with a carrying case to take with you on road trips. Don't lose the little hangers though! I was hoping that the dryer's UV feature would eliminate some of the smell from my gear, but that doesn't seem like the case. I may try cleaning… read more my gear again. 4 stars because the quality is suspect, so be careful with it, especially when traveling. I've seen the central connection break loose on my buddy's dryer so the hanger piece wobbles and won't stay up.

Game changer

I bought this right before a big hockey tournament I had in Vermont this year. Playing 4 games in 3 days I wanted my equipment dry, nothing worse than playing in wet gear. So easy to set up, so convenient, gear was dry within an hour. 10/10

Has worked for over 5 years

This is for one of the original Rocket Dryer's (5 yrs old) this thing is awesome, no major issues at all(paid like $119). I bought a newer model ($139)and I have to say, It is disappointing to see how far this product has declined in quality. Needless to say won't be buying another of these.

Cheaply made but works

First it dose a great job drying my gear. But the center pole is cheaply made. it leans and falls over if gear is not balanced almost perfect. I wish they would have made it a little better even if they had to charge a little more

Solid Dryer

No complaints, works as expected! Not sure the UV light actually reaches most of the equipment as the pants cover some of hanging equipment but the overall function of the heater works great.

Older Unit

I have an older model that i bought a few years ago. It is probably the best hockey related purchase I ever made. It seems like the newer model added the UV light and possibly cheapened the materials to offset costs. They should get rid of the unneeded UV light and strengthen the construction, which is more important. This would then be the perfect product again.

Great idea, could use some upgrades.

My boyfriend loves this drier, but the parts are weak. During assembly the plastic piece that holds the main shaft together broke. Since the aluminum poles are thin it bent at the end during the break. We used a hammer to bend it back, wrapped it in hockey tape, and that held it up. Now it works great!

Broke after 1 use

The center pole snapped after 1 use. Pole is in 2 pieces that screw together. The plastic part used to join them broke away from the pole

Already broken & no reply from company

Bought it a month ago, cost me over $200 including shipping. Worked fantastic for a month, then cheap plastic piece broke and system now completely inoperable. Sent note to company re warranty, fix/replace and complete radio silence. Of course, can't find a phone number for them. Beginning to look like a complete loss on my part. Pure Hockey should not be repping this product.

Did not last a month!!!!

Sadly, the dryer actually works well but is so poorly made. We had a support arm and a hook ring break within a couple weeks. Tonight the plastic upper section of the heater that holds the main post broke. This dryer is made out of the weakest plastic components and cannot hold up to any real use.

Easy to set up and break down, dried gear out well

I have used this now several times, and it's worked out well. I can set up in 5 minutes, place all the gear on the hooks on the rack, seal it within the cover in another 5, then spin the timer dial, and come back in just over an hour. My goalie gear is dried out - wish I had seen this earlier! Definitely worth the money
