This is the first time in 20 years that I have bought a hair dryer. And I have never spent more than $20, on them! Now I GET it! Wow. What a difference a high end professional tool makes. This is a beautiful hair dryer. It is substantial, a gorgeous color and even has a rubber bumper to protect it and your counter tops. It's a very sleek Italian design and the power is amazing. My drying time went from 20 minutes with a regular cheapo dryer - same 1875 wattage - to FOUR minutes with this dryer. Great dryer. Now I am buying one for my mom, who has to have the thickest hair on the planet. I would NOT get this dryer for thin hair - but for really thick hair this would be a great choice. Not sure what the ion thing REALLY does - but it is fun - like the icing ;-) One other thing to mention - this hair dryer weighs at least 2x what my cheapie one ways - so if you are weak or have arm problems - you might want to think about that. This is a very substantial machine.

this blow dryer is the best!!!! i have fine straight hair and this just does wonders for it. Where has this been all my life! Love it

I have always used hair dryers bought from Wal-Mart or Target. My old hair dryer died and living in a very humid climate, I decided to treat myself. I always had to style my hair after blow drying it, but with this hair dryer, I just dry and go! It's so fantastic and my hair feels so soft and healthy. My friend's husband asked me if I did something different with my hair, so when other men are noticing...it's a good product. Go for it! You'll save time and money in the long run.

This is the best dryer I have ever spent money on! The "Solia" 1875w. I usually don't spend this much money on a dryer, but it was worth it! It made such a difference in the shine and very soft. It also dried in half the time! I have long curly, dry, course hair. It didn't fry my hair dry. It's like wind-blown. Very pleased with the quality of this product. I spent $84 but Amazon has it for $79.99 with S&H.
My hair dresser told me years ago to buy a quality dryer, I'm 45, I wish I listened to her. Worth the money.

I love this hair dryer. It dries quickly and with little noise. Super long cord, almost too long. I recommend this product!

This dryer worked great when I originally got it. My hair dried so quickly and was so soft. But after 2 years the low setting stopped working, only the high works now. Such a bummer because I considered this an investment and expected it to last longer.

I ordered this hair dryer based on rave reviews on [...] after having purchased a flat iron there, based on the same reviews. Loved the flat iron, didn't end up loving the hair dryer. My problems with the dryer are:

1) It's HEAVY! I have long hair, and holding this monster at an angle so that it blows downward to smooth the hair shaft is a workout. Not fun to do after already having worked out in the morning before drying one's hair. Seriously, it's no featherweight.
2) It looks cheap! The way it's put together, the showing bits of glue between seals, and the look of it, are just cheesy. It's not a flimsy Conair, so why does it remind me so much of one?
3) The ions work too well. If you have very poufy hair or curly hair I suppose you'd like this aspect, but my thick, straight locks didn't appreciate the way the dryer made my hair lay flat on my head. NO BODY no matter how I dried it.

The good things about this dryer:
1) It is solid, even if it looks cheap. Or so it feels in the hand.
2) It's relatively quiet.

I returned mine and ended up getting a CHI. I believe CHI makes better hair dryers, while Solia makes better flat irons. Maybe Solia should stick to what they do best and leave the hair dryers alone?

Some things, you got to buy higher quality. We live and learn which items are worth spending on to get good quality. I am usually cynical of expensive products that promise but don't deliver I wish I knew that pro dryers made such a difference. I waited until my 30s to try a pro dryer and wow, what a difference. I have short, fine hair that needs volume but is also dry and brittle. I also am busy and impatient so I need a hair routine that's quick and effective. I don't know if it's the ions or the heat level or what but this dryer helps my hair get bouncy and shiny in little time. I love it! I did not rate it 5 because it's quite heavy but it's a solid 4.5 stars. I recommend anyone who can afford to get a hair dryer to bite the bullet and get a good machine. It is worth it!

I ordered the Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer and am very impressed! I never have frizzy fly-aways anymore! The only thing I caution is when you have thin hair, like I do, using the attachments are a necessity. Without them, your hair will tangle because of the strength of the air flow. Otherwise, I am very pleased. Thank you!

This blowdryer only has two speed settings and two heat settings. The cold is definitely cold, which is the most notable attribute. However, the hot isn't really hot, and it certainly doesn't blow as hard as I had expected it too. It works, and gets my hair dry, but nothing spectacular to note about this dryer. It is certainly not worth the $90 I spent. It is, however, very heavy, so at least I'm getting a bit of a workout while I dry.
