Watch the howto videos, this is a great, faster, super quiet, product
I'm not sure why people have been bashing this hair dryer, but when I read the negative reviews it almost seemed like they hadn't actually tried using it? This is a great hair dryer, that's different then what you're used to so you'll need a week to adjust. Make sure you watch the styling videos because this is a stronger machine than you're used to with a different balance. +It is measurably stronger than other hairdryers on the market. +It self monitors the temperature at the exit point so that your hair wont be damaged from holding it to close. +It's much easier to hold given how it's weighted in the handle (the force you feel is weight multiplied by perpendicular distance, which has been dramatically reduced. +It's MUCH faster at drying hair. That said you can't just top it on it's fastest hottest setting. After you do the bulk of your drying at the top speed turn it down and finish it off. +The attachments go on magnetically, which is very easy and again very fast. +The attachments (per the support videos) make it much easier to finish blow drying your hair and not needing to style it. + Because of it's unique design of air intake, it forgoes the traditional L design for a I design and fits into narrow drawers. +++ My wife has had "Nothing but good hair days since we switched and I got used to it" +++++++ My wife gets ready in much less time than she used to. It's "30-50% faster" saving about 5 minutes a day. ++++++++++++ My wife doesn't wake me up in the master bathroom because this hair dryer is so QUIET. The other one sounded like a dying helicopter. You can have conversations while it's running, it's just not as convenient as when it's not running. I read a lot of cons that I disagree with on another post so I'm going to say why they aren't that bad. -The cord is too thick --I don't know why you'd think it would be unless you were holding it wrong which it seems like a lot of people the post negative reviews are. I've never had a problem with it and my wife never thought about it. -The air intake is at the bottom and I keep grabbing it. -- This is done on purpose for how it's weighted, most comfortable, and easiest to maneuver. If you're making this mistake adjust it when you feel the air blowing on your hand, it's quite easy to notice and fix You'll get used to it in a week. -Your hair comes out dry like straw --It shouldn't** My wife has very baby fine hair and it comes out nicer with this hair dryer. That said, this is a very powerful hairdryer and using it on the highest setting until your hair is dry will dry your hair out more than weaker hair dryers on their respective highest setting. Watch the videos their quite helpful, or just turn the setting down after the bulk of the drying is done. -It's weighty and uncomfortable --Per the above comments you're not holding it at the handle. The product went through multiple engineering phases you can watch a video on to minimize the strain on your arms and it's very easy and comfortable to use especially compared to other hair dryers where all the weight is above the handle so you have to fight it as you maneuver it. -No way to hang it on a hook -- If you're set on doing so then this is a con. You can pop a plug under your sink and keep it in a drawer always plugged in and out of sight which seems to be more desirable for me. -No way to put it in a drawer -- This is just not true, I have a 6.5 in drawer that doesn't fit traditional hair dryers because it's too small, but it fits this one and a few brushes easily. Most hair dryers are in the shape of a capital L, this is in the shape of an I so it just fits better. The wire isn't a problem, we have a drawer that is only 6.5 in wide and this is the only hair dryer that fits in this drawer. -It's too expensive -- For the benefits of size, speed, noise, quality of hair, ease of use, it's worth it for us though this is a personal decision and no matter how nice a hair dryer is there are much cheaper options out there.
