Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

LOVE it!! Directs the hot air just where I want it, leaves both hands free to fluff-dry and style my hair, and allows me leave my blowdryer out on the Master Bath countertop without cords and clutter. The base is sturdy, and once I put it together correctly, I had no problems. Key words: ..."once I put it together correctly." Assembly really IS easy, but: Read. The. Instructions. I didn't, and made 2 simple mistakes: 1) Two "poles" or rods form the stand, one of which slides into the other to adjust the height of the stand. My first try, everything LOOKED correct except that I couldn't raise the height up. No matter how much I twisted, as soon as I'd let go, KLUNK! Frustrated, I started over from scratch, dug out the instructions (duh!) and discovered I had inserted the second pole upside-down. 2) DO make sure you clamp the flexible neck of the stand onto the "nose" of the blowdryer, so to speak, so that the weight of the dryer and its cord hang BEHIND the stand, AWAY from you, and not in front. I finally studied the photo on the box, adjusted accordingly, and the neck now holds my heaviest blowdryer. The above MIGHT explain a few negatives this product has received. Just sayin's, all. Bottom line, I love mine. Best $15 I ever spent.
