This review is from: Andis 81290 Tourmaline Ionic/Ceramic 1875 Watt Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty)

I purchased this product in September. When I got it I was so dissapointed to find out how loud and heavy this thing was. This thing is so loud that I have been asked by a family member to find somewhere else to blowdry my hair because it wakes them up in the next room over (and trust me, they are not light sleepers)! After a few weeks of use, the dryer cut out while I was half way done drying my hair and would not turn back on for roughly 10 minutes. I thought perhaps it was a fluke thing. Nope! Just over another month passed and the dryer began to spark from the inside and was glowing for about 2 minutes, when all of a sudden it stoped glowing and would not blow any hot air. This dryer overheats like nothing I have ever seen.
This thing is awful. I am so dissapointed because the last hairdryer I owned was an Andis as well and it was amazing! It lasted me just over 5 years, was super quiet, lightweight and wonderful. Do not buy this item!

Only one advise: Avoid buying this horrible product!
I own several Andis pet clipper products so I trusted the brand. I was wrong!
I don't think Andis manufactured this product. It's just a generic, low quality dryer disguised as an Andis.
