I am only giving this product 3/5 stars because of how loud it is. In Low setting it is fine but once you turn it to high- Look Out! It is so very loud that it might be damaging to your ears, seriously, having it close to your ears on a daily basis is a concern. I bought this on sale at Target for 16.99 and I will be returning it. My quest for a sufficient Ion Dryer continues. Also, I noticed the dryer left my hair wavy after drying, whereas my previous dryer left my hair straight... I am not sure why or how this would happen, but it something I noticed that I did not like. After using this VS blowdryer I had to bust out the hair straightner (more time spent than I wanted). Anyhow, the dryer works, just not for me. My suggestion is too look elsewhere for a dryer.

Someone dropped my hairdryer in the toilet and it was broken so I had to get a new one fast...I picked this one up on sale at Target. I have been using it for the past year, and I absolutely hate it. It is SO loud that I can't even finish drying my hair because I'm afraid for my hearing...the low setting is ok, but it doesn't dry my hair at all. I end up finishing drying my hair with my flat iron.

Hot is too hot and fries my bleached hair, but medium takes FOREVER, which is really obnoxious due to the noise. I hate the switches, they're hard to use and I don't know who would ever decide to put switches like this on a hair dryer. The control of the ions seems to make no difference, and the difference between the non ion and ion dryer isn't as much as my old ion dryer. Also, the cord is too short. My boyfriend (who has really long hair) hates this dryer also, he uses it on hot and it causes all kinds of frizz and takes forever to dry his hair...and he never finishes drying it either because he starts sweating too much. Get this one, it's worth the extra money! Remington D-2009 T Studio Collection Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Dryer

I bought this hair dryer and absolutely love it. It delivers great heat, and dries my hair in a snap. I like all the different heat and settings and the ion controls are great as well.

I got this dryer for Christmas 5 years ago and haven't had a single problem with it. It still works great. Dries my hair in record time and leaves it soft. Sometimes it isn't as shiny as other days but my hair is weird anyways. I am only replacing it now because it over heats because of the lint that gets trapped in the back. There isn't really an easy way to clean it out so it just ends up overheating every time I use it. Its not a big deal its just annoying. I don't find that this is a very loud dryer like other reviews have mentioned. But then again I have had it for 5 years and I don't really remember how loud my last one was. All in all I would recommend this dryer if you are on a budget, since it is a decent price for a dryer.

I had this 1.5 yrs then it died. Next I bought the Vidal Sassoon Answers for fine hair less than a year it shot bright white light out of it and is threatening to start a fire. Answers model did a better job smoothing and shine while it lasted than this model. I had both set to the right ions for fine but not extra fine hair.

Your hair dryers do not last. Never again. Burned me twice, and the second time was almost an electrical fire burn not a figure of speech anymore.

Have had this dryer for about 2 years, leave it plugged in. Every few weeks, it makes a loud vibrating electrical sound, very scary. I shut it off, reset it and it still works. Is there a recall on this model? Read online that many others have same problem. No flames or sparks with the thing as other have had, but plan to replace it pronto. Went off again this morning and woke me up! See other site for more on this electrical issue ... Be careful!

I purchased this hair dryer because my previous one was the same brand and although that was purchased at a discount store when my last one quit on me, it lasted at least seven years. I am very pleased with the replacement and would recommend this to others.

I wanted to try one of the ionic hairdryers, but since I have fine hair I was hesitant about how it would affect my hair. Having the option to select ionic or not seemed to be a good choice. The hairdyrer itself was fairly lightweight and balanced. I did like the ionic drying - it seemed to make my hair much softer. I did not like the on/off and heat selector buttons...they seemed to get in the way and be much harder to use than the sliding tabs some other dryers have. I would have gotten used to them though, if the dryer had not overheated and quit on my 3rd use. Nothing I did would get it to work again; every time I turned it on it overheated within 5 seconds and quit. So I sent it back and am waiting for one from a different manufacturer.

i previously had a vidal sassoon dryer and loved it. when i decided to upgrade, i chose this dryer. bad idea. it's a decent dryer, but my hair is thick and long and the dryer wasn't powerful enough. i also noticed that the hot setting was hot enough to burn my scalp, but the warm setting wasn't intense enough to dry. i'm returning this product. it's not worth the money.
