Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With its folding handle, dual-voltage operation, and power cord that retracts at the push of a button, this midsize hair dryer delivers 1,875 watts of drying power and then stores compactly or travels the world. The handle folds parallel to the 7-1/4-inch-long head so you can tuck the dryer away in a drawer or pack it neatly in luggage. A button on the handle permits operation at either 110/125 or 220/250 volts, which covers nearly every electrical system on the planet. The retractable power cord is 4 feet, 9 inches long, equal to most professional dryers. For precise styling, the dryer has two heat settings and a cool-shot button for fixing nearly dry hair in place. Encased in hard, bright, purple plastic, the dryer is lightweight, attractive, and carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars No problems!, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Conair 169R 1875-Watt Cord Keeper Folding Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty)

I have had this dryer for over a year and have been pretty happy with it. The cord works fine for me as does the folding feature for storage. I always use it on the hot setting and my hair has neither fried nor head seemed too hot. I use it about 3-4 times a week. As far as noise goes, I never used to dry my hair, so maybe I forget what a hair dryer noise level is acceptable, but this seems o.k. by me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too loud, August 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Conair 169R 1875-Watt Cord Keeper Folding Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty)

I was very disappointed with this hair dryer. Yes, I like the fact that the cord is hidden, but the dryer is very loud and it seems like the cord mechanism will not last too long. I would not buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Conair's worst hair dryer! Beware & don't buy it!, August 4, 2004

This review is from: Conair 169R 1875-Watt Cord Keeper Folding Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty)

I bought 2 of those hair dryers, one for me, one for my daughter. After mine broke (2 months later), I used my daughter's and it worked for maybe another 3 months. The cord didn't always retract and the motor burned out completely. The concept of the dryer is great, but the performance is poor!
