after quite a wait, I finally received this. works really great, my hair seems to be in better condition. the only drawback is that its a little on the heavy side.

I love these hair dryers and have had really good luck with them. My whole family uses them daily, often twice, and they still last at least a year or longer.

If you have extremely thick and long hair, they do tend to overheat-- but mainly if you bury it deep in your hair so it can't breathe. Two women in the house use it and they have fairly thick heads of hair, and they have no problem.

I recommend the dryer heartily, but be forewarned-- the comb attatchment teeth will start to break out in a few months. YOU WILL NEED REPLACEMENT ATTATCHMENTS. They cost a few bucks each. I have never used the brush which gets poor reviews, so maybe avoid this unit if the brush is critical.

HERE IS HOW TO GET REPLACEMENT ATTATCHMENTS:

Order direct from the manufacturer here: 1-800-487-7273.

Shipping is the same price for one or many. 5 of them cost me a total of $22.00 shipped.

I read the reviews and decided I needed a second dryer just in case my other one pooped out when dashing out of the shower for work, so I bought this one. It was a good choice. Fine hair will dry rapidly but this dryer gives the hair more body and shine.
The only thing which wasn't a plus for me was the loudness of the motor when it's on medium, and high is much too shrill near your ears as you dry your hair.
It is worth the price and Amazon is a good place to make a purchase.

I have long, thick, curly hair. Think Kerri Russell without the full time stylist. The humidity where I live makes it very hard to style and even harder to hold the style. Enter this jewel. One handed styling with the comb attachments works wonders and the ionic technology dries my hair faster, shinier, and straighter than anything else I have ever used. A few small issues: the brush attachment is absolutely useless. I would have preferred a concentrator. The fine tooth comb, necessary for a smooth finish, is starting to loose its teeth after only four months. When I have tried to use the dryer without any attachments, it overheats, but this is easily resolved by simply keeping one of the combs on at all times. I love my new soft and sleek look and feel that my hair is healthier than ever before.

Great concept if only it worked. Cheap design and poor quality make this dryer among the worst I've ever used. I have thin, but curly hair. Generally not a long or arduous process to dry, but with this product it takes forever. The dryer overheats WAY too eaily and you have to wait five minutes or more to use it again. I spend two minutes drying and then five waiting to start again. Comb/brush attachments are cheap and made of super hard plastic, neither comfortable to use nor able to stand up to regular wear and tear. Don't waste your money.

If you have money to burn then buy this because you WILL need to buy a REAL dryer to dry your hair. It ALWAYS overheats and dies! It overheated on me 3 times during the first use. That may not seen like a lot, but I have NEVER had a dryer that quits and makes you wait AT LEAST 7 minutes to cool so you can turn it back on! My hair was a huge fuzz ball instead of semi-straightened like when I use any other dryer. Buy the Andis dryer - NOT THIS DRYER. My Andis has not failed me yet!

I hate this dryer! I used to have healthy-looking hair until I started using this hair dryer. This is because my old one was discontinued (Revlon Get-Quiet), and I figured I should get this one, since it's labeled as "ion dryer". Let me tell you, I never had drier and frizzier hair in my life. On the high setting the noise is unbearable, power is tremendous and on the low setting it takes forever to dry. I had to switch to a different one after only 1 week. I will never buy Vidal Sasoon again.

I got my first Vidal Sassoon styler dryer in 1994, and haven't bought any other kind of hairdryer since!! I have curly hair that I love to wear pin straight, and this dryer truly delivers. What normally takes me 40 minutes to dry with a regular dryer and a round brush, I can do in 12-15 minutes with this dryer. It's so powerful I only have to use the middle heat setting, and the cool shot button is the perfect finishing tool for sleek, smooth hair. The only problem is the fine tooth comb attachment breaks after about 6 months of continuous use, and the wide tooth breaks after about 8-9 months of use, so you have to either buy a new dryer every 6 months or order the attachment replacement parts ($4 a pop on the Vidal Sassoon website). But all in all, this is the BEST dryer for turning unruly hair into runway tresses, and I've yet to find a dryer that does a better job straightening!!

This dryer made my wavy hair straighter than a seperate brush and dryer ever could. THe problem is that it just shuts off. The first time I used it, it shut off twice within a 20-minute period. It wouldn't restart when I plugged it back in, or even when I tried a different outlet. No matter what I tried, it wouldn't restart for about 5 minutes. I've used an older model of this dryer and the same thing happened. I wouldn't recommend buying this product.

I just recently bought this hair dryer. The first time I used it, it worked fine. The second time I used it, it stopped working after 8 minutes. My hair is long and thick and slightly wavy. It isn't crazy curly, but it isn't pin straight. It doesn't take me more than 10 minutes to blow-dry my hair. I was blow-drying it straight, and after 8 minutes it just stopped working. It's not worth the money at all! Also, it does make a horrible noise and it does smell like burnt hair. I thought that all those things wouldn't bother me if it did the job--but then it just stopped working!
