I have a very old Conair Prostyle 1600 - my favorite hand held dryer, and after over 10 years, it's been on its way out. I've tryed various dryers, but none of them have the great feel of my old Conair. I just recently ordered the Conair Yellowbird 1875...thought it would be great - looked just like my old one, only yellow. I tried it once and sent it back. It was too heavy..unlike the Conair 1600, which was oh so light...and surprisingly didn't have the blow power I expected. So I read one review on the Andis Pro Style 1600 and it sounded good. I tried it this morning and it's perfect - very light...and so small, I couldn't believe it. I travel on business and have not found a travel dryer I'm happy with, so I'm going to order another of these for a travel dryer.

If your home is like ours and you have trouble with tripping the circuit breaker because of your hair dryer, this is the one for you. Our electrican said not to go any higher than 1600 watts. Finding a dryer in this wattage is hard enough, but most of the brands you do find, are... well, they are whimpy! Not this one. Good air power - easy adjustment between hot and cool air and you can't beat the price.

Used this hair dryer in a hotel room. Love it. Lightweight, powerful and most importantly, quiet - much quieter than my current dryer. All in an inexpensive dryer! You can't go wrong.

This dryer is the perfect size for travel and its performance is outstanding.

I bought this dryer based on the user reviews and am very pleased. It has a lot of drying power. It's light. It's quiet. It's nicely balanced. It's not necessary to grip the handle to hold the dryer. It will balance in the crook of your left thumb, so your hand and arm won't get tired from holding it. I can't say for certain, since I don't have carpal tunnel syndrome, but this may be a great dryer for people who suffer from it since there's no need to clinch a fist to hold it. Though I was at first disappointed that I can't remove the screens to clean them (and will need to do it with the vacuum cleaner) I later decided that for price and performance, this is a pretty great dryer.

This is an excellent, small dryer. I really like it. However, it does not have four heat settings and two air speeds. it has: an on/off switch; a high/low heat switch and a high/low air speed switch. This gives you four COMBINATIONS, but not four heat settings. We live in an old house, a century home, with 15 amp circuits, so I wanted something that would not trip the electrical breakers on its highest setting. Most new dryers are 1800 watts and can trip the breakers if anything else is using current at the same time on that circuit. This one, with the lower wattage, has not done that. It is a good product at an excellent price; just don't expect 4 heat settings.

Had this for about two years and the bearings have already started to fail. Makes more noise than when new. It's ok... but not great.

I got this item on sale. I like that it is small and my diffuser fits on to the end (the nozzle on my old dryer was too wide), but the coolest setting is still quite warm, and it starts to smell like it's overheating after about 10 minutes of use. I have short hair, so I only use it for about 10 minutes, but overall, it gets the job done.

NO frills hairdryer but heats good and does what it is supposed to do!!! Saw this at Hershey Hotel and just had to have one since it did what I wanted.

Like others here, I have been searching high and low for a standard blow dryer that will fit my comb adapter. Like natural waist pants, wedding dresses with sleeves, and half-size bras - they have proven difficult to find. I even tried the thrift stores. Andis makes quality products, and this one delvers to the point drying capabilities, very lightweight, and the price is perfect.
