Finally ... a smaller and lighter weight dryer with a diffuser. Haven't had it for very long yet but so far I love it. I have fine hair and it dries quickly without blowing all the curl and body out of my hair.


Update: So ... after my happy review above it's now only 1 month later and the dryer no longer heats up. Blows cool air only. Too bad the quality did not match the nice look and size.

I really did enjoy this hair dryer for all it lovable qualities: lightweight, relatively quiet, lower watts to keep the electric meter from spinning, but sill getting the job done for my fine, long hair. The infatuation was brief. In only two months, the motor burned out completely.

UPDATE: It didn't even last 4 months. The dryer started rattling and then died. It's too bad because it was very light weight and did a great job smoothing out my hair.

My Wahl Complement blow dryer finally died on me which is too bad because it was the best blow dryer I ever had. So I have been searching for a new blow dryer that will live up to the Wahl. I've only had the Vidal Sassoon EcoStyle for a week but it comes the closest to leaving my hair soft and smooth like the Wahl dryer. My hair is very damaged due to hi-lights and japanese straighteners. This blow dryer is also very light and compact. Compared to the Wahl, the EcoStyle is a little louder and the cord isn't as long. The angle of the EcoStyle makes it a little awkward to use with a round brush but overall, it does a good job. I hope it won't die after 6 months because there isn't much out there that is light weight, dries fast, and makes my hair soft and smooth. I just wish they hadn't discontinued the Wahl Complement.

I really like the idea of this hairdryer!! The only down fall is, if you have long thick hair this takes forever to use. I had it for a little over a month and really gave it a good try. I was not satisfied with this product and ended up taking it back due to the lack of adequate heat and power. I really am looking forward to a company that can make a low watt high power hair dryer!

It comes with both a concentrator for when I want to straighten my hair, and a diffuser for when I want it to be curly. It doesn't use so much electricity, which is nice. However, I wonder if my hair would dry faster with a different dryer. It doesn't seem to work very quickly, although I do have very thick hair. My dryer has lasted me three years, but I may just get a new one since I'd like a dryer that dries my hair faster.

Had this dryer before, dropped it. So glad I was able to find it online. I have carpal tunnel and need a lightweight dryer or I'm unable to hold one for long. This dryer is great. Thanks for the easy purchase and quick shipment.

Lightweight and easy to handle - this dryer is fantastic! I've been using this one style for years and mine finally bit the dust after about six years so to say this product lasts is an understatement! LOVE THIS HAIR DRYER!!

This is a terrible product. It only lasted just over one year (my wife's last dryer lasted seven years). And when it went out it went out with a bang--or should I say a sizzle. It suddenly got extremely hot, started smoking and then sparked and had a minor electrical fire inside. And yes, she did keep the lint screen clean. I would say a hair dryer is certainly not eco-friendly that has to be replaced yearly and has the potential to burn down the house. Please buy something safer. And yes, we also have the safety outlets. That was not the problem.

Great Dryer and in my opinion on of the best compacts out there. It's absolutely superb. Great concentrated targetting area aas well as great diffusion usage. Gets super hot in the first 5 seconds and the coil has lasted me just fine. Find one = Buy one.

I love how small it actually is (nice when you have limited space in your bathroom) and I feel like it dries my hair quicker than my old hair dryer. I don't know if it's saving me any money on my energy bill though (i doubt it will make that much of a difference), but it's still a good purchase.
