5.0 out of 5 stars It's good!, January 31, 2008

I was just drying my hair with this dryer, and felt like writing a review.
I appreciate and genuinely enjoy using it every day, and I've had it for about 2 years now.
Some of the good things I'd like to mention are:
- The power: it's more powerful than any other blow dryer I've used, which makes drying much faster.
- The weight: I haven't thought about this too much until I read the other reviews, and, you know, they're right! I would definitely say that it's on the lighter side, and it's small, too. You don't get tired of holding it, but that may also be because your hair dries faster, so you don't have to hold it as long.
- The temperature: it's not too hot! I find this aspect extremely important because it helps not to overdry/cook your hair and your face.
- The price: it's good!

I brought this dryer and was so pleased I am buying a second one to keep at my dad's house. Hair dries quickly and the unit is very light weight, easy to handle. This one is a good choice, I have owned many hair dryers so I know what I am talking about. Paula, NYC

If you are looking for a small and reliable hair dryer this is a wonderful choice. I needed a dryer for daily styling and volume. I have normal, straight, thick hair which is not difficult to manage so I did not feel the need to spend a fortune on a hair dryer with various special options or intense quality claims. Hair dryers generally do the same thing, provide warm air to help dry your hair. Much of the damage to hair comes from how people use the their hair dryer. Which hair dryer is best for you depends on how in depth your styling is. Certain parts of styling are made easier by correct use of different heats and at times the cooling option. If you need such precise attention you are likely aware of it and did not consider this hair dryer. Ceramic and high power dryers will provide hotter air allowing for quicker drying (however higher heats result in more damage and if you have thinner hair you should probably stick to lower heats). The ion option, now practically standard for hair dryers, is said to help provide smoother and shinier hair. While I personally leave the ion option on, and find many claims that it does work, I cannot find any scientific research on the topic however see no reason not to use it. What I find to be the most useful part of any hair dryer is the diffuser (the plastic attachment which focuses the air) as this allows for better control of air direction and focus. If you use a dryer without the diffuser you can notice your hair blowing around more wildly so it is useful for avoiding knots as well as keeping you from blowing hair upwards too much (if you blow hair in the direction it grows it will limit damage).

This hair dryer is extremely simple and provides very basic options. It offers only high and low speed options. It has a cooling button on the back and an ion switch on the top. The dryer can be folded (as it is a travel dryer) but the cord is not retractable. It comes with a diffuser that is of course detachable. It is extremely light and the most attractive dryer in this price range.

If you need a hair dryer for simply drying your hair or for daily styling needs yet do not need all the special options expensive hair dryers advertise this is a good choice. It is small, efficient, and has been working without fail for 6 months already. Obviously if you are checking out this hair dryer you are looking for an affordable option and this provides equal, if not better, results than its overpriced counterparts.
