I bought this hair dryer about 1 year ago, and I absolutely love it. I have very fine hair which tends to look like dry straw if I use a dryer without the ionic feature. I also have a problem, especially in the winter when the air is dry, of flyaway electric hair. Ever since I started using this conair dryer, my hair has stopped being electric, it takes less than 5 minutes to dry my hair, and the result is shiny, bouncy healthy looking hair. I also like the fact that the heat and the air flow are independently adjustable, so I can have it on full blast with medium heat for my hair, and then reduce the heat, but keep the airflow full when I do my kids hair. The handle folds, so it doesn't take up too much space, and it only weighs 20oz. It has ions, ceramic technology, turbo, 16 heat and flow settings - for a full sized dryer, I couldn't wish for anything more...

This is an OUTSTANDING hair dryer. What's not to like?

My wife, who uses two different hair dryers to get the results she wants, is very picky. And one of hers broke, and she gave me a long list of what a replacement had to do. It had to have HOT hot, but adjustable down to cool. Cold shot would be good. It had to BLOW, not just a little. But it had to have gentle setting too. And when all was done, it had to leave her hair soft and silky, but not limp or frizzed. And it has to not be heavy or cumbersome, but it has to last. What is a husband to do? Why is it my job to find the perfect hair dryer? But I did. This one.

This hair dryer does it all. It is quiet but has powerful airflow, but adjusts down to soft zephyr. It has adjustable heat settings from really hot to warm to cool -- and cold shot button for good measure. This Ion Shine thing seems to be more than a gimmick, she really likes how it leaves her hair. I tried it too, works for me also. And the handle folds against the body for compact storage. And the back pops open to clean the air filter grid. It is not too heavy, and not fragile either. Solid construction, good looks, should last a long time. Like I said, what's not to like.

Well, the end of the story is that this is now her ONLY hairdryer, and I'm a hero. :)

What's not to like? Why buy anything else? This has it all. It's a winner.

This item is apparently no longer be available on Amazon, however I will give my opinion just in case. Compared to my previous hair dryer--which lasted 18 years (!), this one is very quiet. The controls are straight forward, and the dryer works very well. The plastic out of which it is made appears fragile, but that is just an impression. The fold-down handle is a nice feature for travel or storage in a small drawer. I have no complaints, and therefore recommend this product highly.

This is a great blowdryer. I had one before and this one is a little different, but it works great. I love it! Compact and the handle folds up which my old one didn't do, which is a great feature for traveling. High speed - dries hair quickly! Very fast shipper too! Thanks! Love it!

This hair dryer isn't top of the line but it is good for what you're paying. My hair dries much more quickly and with less frizz than my old hair dryer, which is great because frizz is a definite problem with me. My hair looks more shiny and beautiful when I use this compared to letting it airdry. It folds up, which is nice, and its lint guard just flips back and is easy to clean. The concentrator attachment it comes with works well for straightening my stubbornly wavy hair.

Just don't forget the turbo setting on the side of the dryer! I almost didn't know it existed until I checked the directions for advice on using the attachment.

I highly recommend the Conair 173R Ion Shine Ceramic Trubo 1875 Watts hair dryer. Dries my hair quickly with terrific results: smooth finish, good body, easy to style. Convenient to store and feels solid in the hand. I bought Connair beause in gyms and hotels I had noticed this brand producing good results. Also it arrived quickly even with regular shipping. Buy it. You'll be happy you did.

Great blowdryer, I especially appreciate that it can fold up for portability. Very handy for those on the move. Anyway it is quiet and works very quickly. I have super thick, long hair so I know a good blow dryer when I find it.

Like the options this high tech dryer allows. Warm and cool instanenously allows you to be in control for all hair types.

When I asked my wife to review this hair dryer, she said "I dig it". Have had it for a couple of months already, and it still works. She seems real happy with the different settings...it apparently doesn't fry her hair. Highly recommended.

I'm just a guy and my needs for a good hairdryer are the following:
Good airflow
Quiet
Drys the hair quickly
This hair dryer meets all three, plus the price is right.
