Today, TIME reveals its annual list of the Best Inventions, which features 300 extraordinary innovations changing our lives. 

Hedgehog GO joined the list in the "Design" category. GO - a compact, high-powered, dual-purpose dryer - takes the award-winning technology from our premium dryer series and adapts it for travel, so you can stay dry, whatever the weather, wherever you go. 

To compile this year's list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.
