The iQDry is Dry & Store's answer to people who do not want an overnight box. Ear Technology says it has the shortest drying cycle of any dryer on the market, at 15 minutes, and a humidity indicator shows the progress and the result. A countdown timer and auto shut-off handle the rest. Because the temperature is regulated to a maximum of 104°F and the cycle is short, the company says rechargeable hearing aids can go in. A built-in 800 mAh battery carries it through seven drying cycles per charge, so it works in a hotel room, car or tent without an outlet. It weighs 3.8 oz and measures 2.8 x 3.3 x 1.8 inches. The limits: there is no UV-C light, it is sized for two behind-the-ear aids, and the warranty is 1 year. At $99.95 it costs the same as the Zephyr, so choose it for speed and portability, not price.
