This is a badly designed dryer. The hose is attached to the bonnet with a flimsy plastic ring that will fall out of the bonnet while you are drying.

I wasn't sure to expect with all of the mixed reviews, but I have to say that this dryer really does the job. The pieces all fit together very nicely and the air circulates well inside of the bonnet. It's not extremely powerful and the hose could be a little longer but all in all, I'm very satisfied! One note to travelers, while the dryer packs away well into a closet, I'm not sure I'd pack it in my suitcase. It's pretty heavy and big.

this product is good if you seldomly use it. Well I need to use it once a week and now that I've had it for about 2 months, the hose connection doesn't connect to the bonnet. ALL the hot air blows out of the bonnet. OK, how can I dry my hair now? you can't reconnect the connector to the bonnet at all. not even with crazy glue! HORRIBLE quality and it takes FOREVER to dry my hair and that's even if it drys at all.

This hair dryer (The Hot Tools Soft Bonnet Hair Dryer, Model 1051) was a big disappointment. After only three uses, the bonnet area where you place the hose ripped and the hose falls out. The hose is very short and makes it inconvenient to find a comfortable position to dry your hair. Also, there is air that leaks out from somewhere along the air hose which means that I have to sit for 2 hours to dry my hair. Very poor quality.

The product has four temperature settings but the blower is weak (like a low setting on a normal hairdryer) and it takes double time to dry my hair. The hose from the machine to the bonnet is very short---about 24"---so one needs to sit very close to the unit. I was disappointed. I needed a hairdryer with a hose and bonnet that had a higher volumne of air output and a slightly longer hose.

The motor/blower unit is actually quite good, but the air tube is not long enough. Where the tube meets the soft bonnet is a very weak area and when heated up to highest temperature becomes weaker. The bonnet does not provide even heat to entire head. If they could perfect the air tube and bonnet, this unit would be worth the price. It's so hard to find a good soft bonnet hair dryer! This would be perfect for traveling if it just did what it was supposed to do.

Had to send the first one back and got another because the motor sounded so loud I thought something was wrong. Tried out the second one, the motor is still very loud, unlike other Hot Tools hair dryers I have had. Nothing against Cosmetic Solutions, but I think the product is not very good. Guess I keep it and hope the motor gets quieter with use.

This product did not meet up to my expectations and I will be returning it. Please let me know where I can return this product. It does not work properly - it goes on and off when I am drying my hair. It just is not what I thought it would be..

I am pleased with this dryer. I only use it as a heater for my hair coloring process, but it works very well for my purpose. It provides a good, even heat, and the bonnet adjusts well to my head. It is large enough to go over the largest curlers if that is what you want. My only quibble with it is it would be great to have a longer cord and a longer air tube. As such it would be much more convenient to use. But it is slim and stores well.

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with BUYER BEWARE!!!! This dryer is a piece of junk. I woudn't recommend this to anyone!!! Do not buy Hot Tools junk!!
