I don't believe the haters
Full disclosure, I'm not a girly-girl. I'm next to 0 on the maintenance scale. I have always struggled with hair stuff. I have wavy/curly hair depending on my diet and hormones and what-ever, it had a mind of its own. So I've been checking out people online singing the praises of this or that product and decided to give a diffuser a shot. I've been interested in them for a few years, but it's hard to justify the purchase when I'm so low maintenance, but what the heck. So, I didn't want to buy a new hairdryer in case this was just a gimmick and the one I have is close the 20 years old, hence the appeal of this universal fit baby. I read the reviews and the nay-sayers where saying it didn't really diffuse, it didn't really fit and would wobble or fall off. Well, after my experience it is my opinion that these people didn't pay attention to the fit range and don't know how a diffuser works. It fit fine! Yes it will move because it's a medium clamp, but only if you press it against something. I actually found that somewhat useful. It's a diffuser, meaning it breaks up the air flow and disperses it or spreads it out, not that it reduces air flow, that's what those air flow buttons on your drier are for. Also note that you should not use high heat with this thing! I think that may also be leading to some of the "fit issues". So all in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I'm able to get air to my scalp which will let it dry and give my hair a little more body so my heavy hair doesn't weigh down the top as much, with out blowing everything all over the place and creating a cloud of fly-aways. It does the job.
