A dryer that meets all your styling needs. It's not often that you can find one that is suited for both curly and straight styles. The air diffusing attachment is perfect for creating soft, frizz free curls while the concentrator nozzle (more narrow and therefore a better conductor of air than most models with this feature) allows you to direct air exactly where you want it. The dryer itself features two speed (low and high) and three heat settings (cool, warm and hot), as well as a cold shot button to lock in style. For the highest heat setting, simply put the dryer on high speed and the hottest setting (careful, though...this is only recommended for hair that's UBER curly, like mine). Additionally, the 9 foot long cord (complete with a loop that will allow you to hook it onto something in your bathroom or wherever else you store it) makes it really easy to use. Another bonus: even on the highest setting, the dryer is considerably more quiet than other ones on the market that are similarly priced (you can easily hold a conversation while speaking in a normal tone of voice).

According to the information that's included with the product, the dryer is made with a combination pink tourmaline/ceramic technology that allows for a special emission of ions (these are important for eliminating static electricity). I found that after use, my hair actually was a lot smoother even than when I used previous hair dryers with ionic technology; I used it to style my hair both in its naturally curly state and after setting it in rollers to blow dry it straight. If your hair is really curly like mine, however, you might still want to use a flatiron to get that pin-straight look. But for less curly hair or hair that's less prone to frizz, that probably won't be necessary.

Although this is by far my favorite hair dryer I've ever owned, I do agree with the previous comment on this product: it really would be the perfect dryer if it had a folding handle. But this is only a tiny flaw, as it more than makes up for that missing feature with its humidity resisting technology. Well done, Remington. An invaluable product for any styling arsenal.

I purchased this dryer almost 2 years ago. Just yesterday the switch broke-- it was a very sad day. After trying out at least 5 other dryers, I found this to be BY FAR the best for the money. It is relatively quiet for the airflow it produces- no hi-pitched whine like some other models. And it is VERY POWERFUL! It is heavier than others, but I don't mind getting a little extra muscle tone. It doesn't have a shiny plastic finish and can withstand being dropped many times on a tile bathroom floor-- trust me.

I have long, fine hair that will get unruly and curly against my wishes unless dried a certain way. The high blower setting with medium heat works great for me, plus I use the cold shot and a big roller brush to create volume. It is very versatile, with two blower settings and three heat settings.

Wish the one I had would have lasted, but I'm not taking any chances with another dryer. This works as well as any $100 dryer as far as I'm concerned. Only gripes are 1) the switch breaking and 2) the cord is long (great) but it tends to get all twisted up on itself even though it was designed not to. For these reasons it fell just short of 5 stars

I bought a cheaper "lightweight" dryer and took it back because it felt like a toy, and didn't have a warm setting like it said. Just hot and fry.
I ordered this one based on Amazon reviews. I really like it. It's feels like a pro dryer. It's comfortable to hold. It maybe a tad heavy, but it works so fast, it's not an issue for me. I wanted something that would last and work well. It has a true cool setting. My hair is soft and well behaved for a change. Since I've gotten older my hair has gotten more delicate and I almost quit using a hairdryer because it was so hard on my hair. I thought I'd try again because sometimes I want my hair sleek instead of curly.
Like the matte finish. Only thing I don't like is the attachments are hard to get on and off. But, hey, at least they don't fall off while I'm using them like some dryers I've had. I'm a little concerned that they might break at some point while changing them, but so far so good.

I purchased this product because I needed a new blowdryer.I have heard all about ions, ceramic, tourmaline, etc. and decided it was time to upgrade. However, I did not want to spend a small fortune on a new dryer (hello, T3!) After much time was spent on looking at different models and brands, I finally settled on this product. It is wonderful! This blowdryer dried my hair in 5 minutes (I have very fine, short hair). My hair is incredibly shiny and frizz free! The dryer is a little heavy, but is constructed well - feels very sturdy in the hand. Best of all Remington gives you a 4 year warranty, longer than Revlon and Conair. I am extremely pleased with this product. I am glad I spent $30 instead of $300 on a T3.

I am enjoying my new Remington hair dryer! It has been a good choice, I believe. I especially like the long power cord. It's also very good not to get tangled. My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that I had expected that the hair dryer would be quieter than it is. I checked around before I purchased it, and one of the selling points is that it is supposed to operate more quiet than your average hair dryer, but I can't really hear much of a difference, if any. Regardless, I am enjoying it!

I bought a T3 tourmaline dryer a while ago from Amazon and quickly found out that the seller (folica.com) is not an authorized dealer for T3 dryers and do not come with a manufacturers warranty. I returned the dryer thinking I could find something else down the road, and I saw this one for much less. I thought that since it had "tourmaline" in it, it would work pretty much the same as the T3. Needless to say, it didn't work any better than my old ceramic con air. So, if you're expecting this dryer to perform like a tourmaline/ceramic/ionic hair dryer, think again. Good for the money, but not spectacular.

If you need a blow dryer that really packs a punch, look no further! This dryer straightens my hair and eliminates frizz so well that I don't even need to use my flat iron unless I'm going for a super sleek look! I love the look and feel of this dryer, and the four year warranty rocks! I'm very pleased with this purchase!

I bought this dryer to replace my Conair Nano Silver Tourmaline, which I loved dearly. I've tried a number of other Conair dryers, and none of them got quite hot enough, so I figured I'd give this one a try.

My hair: mid-back, quite thick, wavy/curly and frizz prone. I usually dry it straight with a round brush instead of flat ironing, so I need a dryer that gets very hot.

Things I like about the dryer:

1. Great heat settings. My old dryer went from hot to scalding. This one blows truly cold air for the cool shot, cool air on low, warm on warm, and scalding on hot. I was surprised by how well it dried my hair on warm (I usually use the highest setting the whole time), but I did need to use the hottest setting to get my hair straight. This dryer gets hotter than anything I've tried in this price range, which for me is a huge plus.

2. Relatively quiet. It sounds like a hair dryer, but is considerably quieter than any other product I've tried.

3. Good weight/feel. Other reviewers have said it's heavy, but at least compared to the other Conair dryers I've used, I'd say it's about the same, maybe lighter. Definitely not a problem unless you're used to a really, really lightweight dryer. The surface is nice and grippy, and the balance feels good.

Overall, I'm very satisfied. It dried my hair quickly, can attain the heat I need (but doesn't limit you to scaldingly hot), and didn't cost an arm and a leg. Highly recommended!

I think I have about 8 hairdryers and I can honestly say that this one does everything I want it to...dries my hair quickly, leaves it shiny and full (I don't use attachments) and I think the noise level is very manageable. Other dryers whine in my ear and this one seems to be extremely strong but not too annoying. Definitely feels more solid then other dryers in the lower price ranges.

I have thin, fine hair and need to heat & rapidly cool the roots while back-brushing to get lift and fullness. I had the previous model of this blow dryer and it worked very well for this purpose. Unfortunately, after about a year the blower switch broke right in half. I bought this one to replace it. I like that the dryer is reasonably priced so I didn't feel too ripped off at having to buy a new one. This one has a couple of manufacturing changes, though, that I felt were downgrades. First and foremost, this one has a 6' cord, where the previous model had a 9' cord. The cord doesn't swivel, so the extra length gave me more flexibility in movement, whereas this one makes the dryer seem cheap. Second, Remington changed the direction of the blower switch, rather arbitrarily, so that up is now off instead of high. I know this sounds petty, but that change removed the automaticity of my hand movements completely and I couldn't see a good reason to change it. It probably won't be a problem for you if you didn't have the earlier model.

The drawback to the original, which is still a drawback on the current model, is that it has so much power even in the low setting that when I'm back-brushing I don't have good control over the hair. On the earlier model I felt this was still workable and if you want lots of blow-power this model definitely fits the bill.

I ended up coming across a BaByliss Pro Porcelain Ceramic that I could try before buying, and even though it cost more I bought it anyway and am keeping this one as my spare. It has the longer cord, heat and blower controls and while it has plenty of power it doesn't blow quite as hard on the low blower setting. Since I was having to re-learn the controls on the T-Studio anyway, I figured I might as well get a longer cord out of the deal.
