5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING DRYER! Quick & Quiet!, May 11, 2010

This review is from: Remington D-2012 Salon Quality Ceramic Hair Dryer with Professional AC Motor and Tourmaline (Health and Beauty)

When my old Remington dryer that is 7 years old broke I started looking for a replacement, needless to say I ended up returning 4 dryers before I found this one. I loved my old dryer because it was so quiet, I can't stand the dryers that have a high pitched whining noise. So I called Remington & they told me this was the quietest dryer they make (they measure by decibels & this dryer had the lowest). So I bought it & it is super quiet, the motor doesn't really give off any noise the only sound you hear is the airflow. And the airflow on this dryer is super strong, its much stronger than my last dryer so it does dry your hair pretty quick. I am very pleased with this product. It comes with a 4 year warranty too. The hot setting is hot but its nice because it doesn't get hot enough wear it feels like its burning your scalp. I actually bought mine at walmart online for $27, it was such a great deal! I highly recommend this dryer, its great.

(What's this?)

It has been several months now since I reviewed this item. I am still very pleased with the performance of the blow dryer. A few additional comments:
1. The motor stays cool so the body is not hot after use.
2. The cord does not twist or knot up like less expensive electrical cords often do
3. I am buying one for my daughter's brirthday right now!


Love love love this new blow dryer from Remington. The sleek professional body is balanced and easy to mange when tossing, flipping or curling my hair. I found some of the professional dryers are large and quite heavy. This is very manageable lightweight and ergonomically designed for comfortable handling from all angles around the head. The motor is quite and has cut my drying time in half. If you read the product description it does call out that it has a salon quality AC motor is within the dryer and this motor helps contribute to a faster drying time in comparison to other leading dryers with DC motors. I have to agree with this statement! I also like the 6 different power setting combinations (3 heats and 2 speeds) there is lots of versatility to the dryer and the controls are easy to switch while in use.

The product description also calls out that it repel humidity and static which results in incredible lasting frizz-free shine. I cannot speak to this as I do not have humidity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a Leaf Blower for your Head..., April 27, 2009

(What's this?)

The Remington D-2012 is definitely a grade above the $10-$30 hair dryers you see at Target. Whether or not it is comparable to a CHI, I don't know. I DO know it is half the price of a CHI, and unlike Farouk (who makes the CHI), Remington will honor the warranty if you buy it on the internet. The CHI is a solid product so not many people get bitten by the voided warranty when you buy on Amazon, but there's always that chance.

The D-2012 has two air speeds and three heat settings. I use middle heat + low airflow for my short guy hair. My wife uses high heat + low or high airflow for her long thick hair. She says it drys so fast that her hair is dry before she has finished styling it.

The dryer has a very solid, commercial grade feel to it. Read this to mean it's heavy compared with basic hair dryers. I find it to be quieter than my wife's old dryer that claimed to be quiet.

All in all this product is a winner if you are looking for a really good solid hair dryer but you don't have the coin for a CHI. This hair dryer is likely one of the best in the sub $50 category.
