I purchased this online after my Ion Hard Bonnet from Sally's broke (It has the same design as the Belson dryers and it was ridiculously tricky to close. I always thought I was gonna break it and one day I did.) So far I'm happy with this purchase. I'm black with relaxed hair that I deep condition and rollerset every week, so I use bonnet dryers a lot.

What I Like:
- It's simple to close.
- The bonnet fits my 2 inch gray rollers comfortably. I was surprised because the hood looks so little in pictures.
- It has an air vent on top that you can open and close.
- It gets hot but it doesn't feel like you're vacationing in the Devil's playland, (like the Ion did.)
- I was worried about the air vents only being on top of the dryer BUT there are actually additional vents in the back (where the bonnet meets the neck). So unlike a lot of other hard bonnets, it actually gets the back and the bottom rollers dry.
- It's really lightweight.

Things I Don't Love:
- The "variable" temp control is actually just low, medium and high. There is no cold.
- Also the temp control button came off during my second time using it. It's not that big of a deal b/c it's easy to put it back on.

Needed a new hood dryer after my Conair stopped blowing hot air. I always felt it really wasn't that great anyway. Well was trying to decide between this one and the 125 dollar Pebco on wheels. Decided to take a chance on this one especially with the price. This works absolutely great.

My daughter and I have relaxed hair- mine shoulder length, hers longer. This fits 2" and 3" rollers comfortably and takes only 30-40 minutes to dry our hair vs the 1hr PLUS time with the Conair and the hot air is not unbearable. Especially since my DD and I both dislike sitting under a dryer.

It has helped me save money which is why I rated it a 5. It's only the cost of 1 wash and roller set. I could not beat that at all.

I used it only once and was very pleased until.....the cheap setting knob broke. The plastic is basically too weak to change the settings. So if you don't mind resulting to using a pliers to power on and off...its a pretty solid powerful dryer that will get the job done.

Bought this dryer in February 2010. In December 2010, the dryer stopped working. Part of the base of the dryer melted and a hold about the circumference of a pencil developed on the base of the dyer. I used the dryer about once a week for a 45 to 60 minute session. I ran it on high. Maybe that was too much. I have a hair weave and it is important that I get the tracks dry as well as my own hair. This dryer got my hair dry and the tracks dry. Maybe running it on high for an hour is too much. I emailed the Amazon seller for warranty information today. Will see what happens. I will try the dryer again but not run it on high for the entire session, just the first 30 minutes or so. Maybe that will help.

I am happy with this dryer. It dries my very thick hair relatively quickly, is light, easy to store and easy to use. The only thing I could ask for is if a dryer could be designed with the back of the head in mind. When doing roller sets, these always get the short end of the stick when it comes to drying.

This has been a great dryer. It dries my hair pretty quickly. It is built well, however the last one i had just stopped working one day.(I had been using it for less than a year) Nothing on the outside seemed broken, i just turned the knob and it would not turn on. I bought a second one because for the price, its still a great investment. I'll be curious to see if this one lasts longer.

The first week was working fine. The following week, the high temperature doesn't work only medium or low. A waste of money

I had this product for less than 6 months. The hair dryer has a large hood so it can be used with large rollers.The set up is easy and it's not as noisy as some dryers I have used. It lighter than I expected but the heat is very good. I did have concerns about the knob due to past reviews. Thus far the knob has not come off but the heat is no longer hot at the highest level. The high heat is medium and the medium heat is low. And no, it did not drop on the floor or anywhere. Very disappointed after less than a year use. Review revised 3/06/10.

This is a really nice hair dryer. I have been on a quest looking for a good hair dryer, but also one that was reasonably priced. I am definitely happy with my purchase.

pros: Large(can fit large rollers underneath), not extremely noisy, 3 settings: low,med,high. Another thing I like about this dryer is that the high setting is not overly hot. I can actually sit under this dryer for one hour without complaining that its too hot.

cons: None

I am definitely happy with this purchase.

This hair dryer dries my hair much faster than the previous dryer. It has several settings but I only use "High." It does the work it was designed to do.
