So far, so good with this great little dryer I bought this dryer first and then read these reviews, which is not normally how I research. And some reviews were scary--especially the ones about the dryer burning out and breaking down after awhile. I was also fortunate to buy it from a store where I got the warranty, which is a nice safety net. I have had mine for 4 months, and, so far, I really like it. But it did take some getting used to. For example, I learned that if I hold it right above the nozzle (don't actually hold the nozzle, it gets hot), I can control it better than if I hold it by the handle. And I test each section more often as I dry because it's easy to over dry your hair. This dryer will dry your hair faster, so be sure to test as you go. Also, I take out the filter every week and rinse it as the instructions suggest. Results? My hair dries faster (although it's more like 30% faster), it's shinier, it's straighter/smoother (I have curly hair), and it seems to stay smoother longer even if the fog rolls in. In short, I'm a fan, and I recommend it. Just remember to give it TLC.

What a disappointment I reluctantly purchased this hairdryer after reading all the reviews. I didn't really want to spend that much money when there where hairdryers for significantly less. The good things: quiet and not too heavy. The bad: the heat from the hairdryer is too hot. I've been blow-drying my hair for years and have never had to stop because my scalp felt like it was burning. And, despite the "technology" it doesn't appear to dry my hair any faster than the old dryer I replaced. One thing I noticed about the reviews of the dryer was that many people who purchase (and love) this have long hair. I do not so I'm always drying right around my scalp. Maybe if you have long hair, this might be good for you but other than the quietness, I don't see how this is worth spending so much money on.

Awesome hair dryer My sister bought this hair dryer a few years ago for $200. One weekend I spent with her, she let me use it. We both have super thick hair which takes time to dry (about 30 minutes with a regular hair dryer). Most time, I go out with my hair still wet because I don't like to take the time to dry it, plus I get overheated. Well, this dryer worked in half the time (or maybe less). I don't go out with wet hair anymore because it dries so quickly. It's light and works great, and now the cost is less than 1/2 what my sister paid. Totally worth the investment!

Best Hair Dryer Ever I have used this product before and it is so great that I bought it for gifts. Don't let the price scare you off it is worth every dollar. Your hair will dry in half the time of other dryers but most important it will not damage your hair like most other dryers. Your hair will stay healthy and will shine.Found the best price on Amazon, it was half the price I found elsewhere.

Worked well for awhile but a fire hazard? I've had this dryer for a little over a year. Worked well, dried quickly and although not small the dryer is lightweight for its size. But just had a huge scare this morning while drying my hair. The cord literally broke off from the base sending a flare up of fire into the air and exposing the wires! I've had much cheaper dryer's for years and I've never experienced anything like this. Major safety issue and now i have a $100 dryer thats unusable after a little more then a year. I have a message into Amazon.com but i suspect since its been a little over a year any warranty that was offered is no longer valid. I'll update this review when i get a response. (As far as its use, it was used about 5x per week and although it had a long cord I used it right by the outlet so it wasn't stretch or tugged. The cord did get twisted up much easier then far cheaper dryers and other appliances and this may have contributed to the problem.)
