Stylistic Performer
I was initially unsure about ordering this as opposed to an item half as expensive. Even after receiving the item, I was still unsure. Cons: 1. Price: almost twice as expensive. 2. Weight: heavy to hold for a long time. Pros: 1. Although heavier, it appears to be built well, perhaps leading to durability. 2. According to the description, it was built to be much quieter. Although I can't truthfully state that is so, I do notice the noise is a LOWER pitch sound. I'd trade that any day over the high pitched shrill of the blow dryers I usually purchase. 3. Independent buttons for the Heat settings and Wind Speed settings: The 3 heat, 2 air flow speed (plus the Cold Shot button) settings allow you to select the setting that works best for you and your hair. 4. Buttons: even the rocker-style buttons are placed in the best position on the blow dryer so your fingers aren't continually hitting them and accidentally turning it on or off. 5. Air Flow: Air flow is maximized through a slightly narrower nozzle. Your hair dries more quickly. 6. Full sized: Does a full-sized job! 7. Accessories: nice to have for styling your hair. 8. Temperature: While it doesn't get as scorching hot as my old dryer, it still dries my hair effectively and efficiently-and with no burned scalp. So, although it isn't totally what I expected, it does the job much more efficiently than I expected. If it lasts 3 or more years (with all the use it gets around my house), I'd buy it again-just for the sound quality. I really like how this dryer performs! Read more
