This dryer does the job....BUT...if you're looking for a space saver, this is not it! The handle folds, but it is a full size dryer.

I bought this model as a backup when my full size was in the shop. I wasn't in a hurry for the other one to get fixed. This little baby is powerful and not too small or too big. Despite all the many options you get with a full size model, I always end up using only one or two and this model was perfect for getting the job done. It is compact, yet not too small, powerful and not too loud - I have no complaints!

The Conair Travel Dryer is pretty quiet, has two settings, and works very well. The only negative is that it is a little bigger than I thought it would be but with the folding handle it should still be better for traveling than the dryer I use at home.

This seems like a great hair dryer. I would consider it for home use in the future. However, it is too big for my liking for travel purposes. I ended up returning it. I can't see taking up this much space in a small suitcase. I wish it were smaller and lighter and I would love it for travel!

I purchased this to use when I am overseas in Asia and it has worked well so far (bought about 4 months ago). Read the instructions which recommend usage on the low setting when traveling in countries not compatible with the US. The low setting when used outside of the US is very strong. I use it for about 10-15 minutes at a time and it's never shorted or overheated. It does get a bit hot but cools down quickly. Strong and great for thick hair but a bit louder than I expected.

I purchased this almost a year ago to take with me on my trip to Europe.
It looks fine, and wouldn't mind packing it into my suitcase. I didn't think that it was abnormally big.
What the problem was, and the only reason for giving it just two stars, is that the dryer has two small tubes(?), almost looks as though it's purely for design, that run along the barrel of the dryer. These make it so that the width of the barrel is too wide to accomodate a universal diffuser. I have curly hair and, without being able to find a diffuser to use with this dryer, I can not use the dryer. It is still sitting in my closet, completely unused for a year. Maybe I'll sell it on eBay, as I'd already thrown out the packaging when I received the dryer.
If you're not planning on using a diffuser with it, it looks great and seems as though it would work wonderfully!

I have owned this dryer before and it is my favorite travel dryer. As powerful as a full size dryer.

wow, this thing is HUGE according to Amazon's specs!
