This dryer was obtained as a replacement for one we loved. It isn't quite as good even though it is same brand and wattage. It just seems to tangle the hair a bit more than the original one we had. Still love it as it is fast!

These are worth every penny! I've had mine over 5 years and when you regularly clean the lint out of the back air intake it seems to just keep going. I use mine twice a day. I've purchased two more because I love the blow dryer so much.

I needed a travel dryer with dual voltage. I picked this one b/c it seemed to be good quality and was touted as having all these different style settings. How shameless can some advertisers be?!

* A "patented twist-it folding handle"?--This thing has no folding handle! I tried twisting it this way and that. Handle doesn't fold.
* No dual voltage. I checked everywhere. I removed the filter in the back, checked to see if there is a switch/button there. Sometimes it's hard to get to or see, so you need a pen. But there was nothing back there. Why advertise this dryer as a travel dryer when it's clearly not meant for use in Europe or anyplace outside the US that has above 110 voltage.

Besides for that, this fan is indeed light. The handle is comfortable. The heat/speed settings--by the way, heat/speed are one and the same on this dryer. Don't think there are separate heat/speed settings. You can set it to HIGH and get strong hot air, or you can set it to LOW and get gentler warm air. The hot air isn't too hot, which I liked because it's strong but won't fry your hair. The fan itself is pretty small and, like I mentioned, lightweight. So, It can definitely fit into a suitcase. The coolshot button does blow fairly steady cool air. The concentrator is curved a bit from the top, which is more convenient for straightening.

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice dryer. It looks nice, it feels good in your hand and seems to be quality. But I won't be keeping it because I need a TRAVEL dryer with DUAL VOLTAGE and an actual folding handle, which this dryer does not have. And it's very inconsiderate for the company to lie like this in its advertising.

I ordered this item on Oct. 13th because my hair dryer has a small "fire"-like ember in it and looks dangerous. I was in a hurry and didn't see it won't arrive until Nov. 4-10th. And I can't cancel it. WHY???????? If it isn't arriving for 3 weeks why on earth can't I cancel it????
