 A Solid (Pink) Hair Dryer October 3, 2008
My needs in a hair dryer are simple, this serves them all. This replaces the travel dryer that will only see travel duties, as I wouldn't pack this dryer for travel. It's a solid, heavy, multiple speed hair dryer with and a few attachments that aren't going to see use, but that's just me. The cord retracts, uh, vigorously and might double as a defensive apparatus. It is nice that the cord isn't running across the bathroom anymore. The sound is less annoying, which is a plus.
The airflow is generous and I can't say if the ions do anything, but it's fast at drying my medium length hair. It's better than most other simple hair dryers I've used and seems like it will last a long time. For $30, you can't go wrong.
Short list-
* fast drying
* nice retracting cord
* good ranage of settings
* quieter than other hair dryers
* a bit on the heavier side
* overall a good value
It's quite pink.
What is not to love? September 26, 2008
It is beautiful and has all the features considered a must have, at a very affordable price. And do I love the retractable cord. What a time and mess saver. It feels a tad heavy to me, but the last 10 years I have used a mini hair dryer. I really don't use a hair dryer on a regular basis, so I asked my niece who is a beautician to use it and tell me how she liked it and she loved it. After calling me a wimp, she grudgingly agreed it might be a little heavier. Not really a problem for most people, unless like me you have arthritic joints. However my hair is so short and my use is brief, it is no problem for me. It is a good bargain. I would recommend this to anyone.
Good hair dryer September 25, 2008
In my opinion this is a typical hair dryer. Definitely a step up from any one-button (on/off) hair dryer but it isn't necessarily revolutionary. Never the less, I am still very pleased with the performance. It definitely is capable of drying your hair and not causing your hair to become to frizzy. The best feature is the fact that the speed and heat buttons are separate. The retractable chord is always a plus. Simply stated this is a very good hair dryer and definitely a good pick up for the price
 Decent dryer with all the major functions September 24, 2008

First of all, this dryer is for home use. The handle cannot be folded. So to carry it in your luggage will be too bulky. If you use it at home, then it is not a problem at all.
This dryer has all the major functions you need: heat setting, speed setting, cool blow button, and cord retraction. The dryer is powerful at its highest speed. I cannot tell the effects from Ionic, Ceramic, or Tourmaline part. I don't have any scientific data to back it up. But overall, this is a decent dryer. The price is a little bit higher. It may be because you are paying for those fancy materials.
So this is a Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Dryer. What's in it for Me? September 24, 2008

So this is a Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Dryer. What's in it for Me?
(For model specific info, skip down to the *******)
Ionic. Ceramic. Tourmaline. If you've shopped for a hair dryer or flipped through a beauty magazine in the past few years you've likely seen these buzz words. Yet what do they mean to you, the consumer?
"Ceramic" - The coil (the component of the hairdryer that heats the air to dry the hair) is made of ceramic which heats more evenly than a metal coil - purported to cause less damage to hair.
"Ionic" - Very simply, "ions" are atoms or molecules with a positive or negative charge - because the atom has gained or lost an electron. Great! but what does that have to do with hairdryers? According to hair dryer manufacturers, "instead of taking the air from the room and heating it, an ionic hair dryer uses negative ions to shrink the water droplets in hair . . . [helping] dry hair faster and with less damage, making it smooth and shiny." However, an environmental engineer can tell you there is no strong science to back up this claim. If you're unsure then just realize that all hairdryers still have coils which heat the air to dry the hair. (see above)
"Tourmaline" - a type of gemstone touted by hair dryer manufacturers to produce more ions and therefore dry hair even faster with less damage. (see above) This claim also unproven by hard science.
Yet despite the lack of science to back the claim that Ceramic and or Tourmaline Ionic hair dryers "help smooth the cuticle layer creating silky, shiny hair [with] less frizz and more manageability" users continue to report the hairdryers do just that. Even consumer tests report this technology dries hair up to 70% faster.
Is there a placebo effect?
At this point in the game it no longer matters. Because the overwhelming majority of the dryers on the market today are either ionic, ceramic, or both and you can now purchase models with these features without any additional cost over models without these features it is no longer necessary to agonize whether or not it's "worth it" to plunk down $300 just to see for yourself. What you should do instead is evaluate the hair dryers other features.
*****************************************
And on those "other" features I can heartily recommend this hairdryer.
(in order from most important feature to least)
*The three heat settings and two speed settings are separate buttons, plus one of those "cool shot" buttons that were all the buzz a few years back. This is a very important and often missing feature for hairdryers, especially for dryers in the lower price range. If you don't have the speed and heat settings on separate buttons then you only have two options "high speed with hot heat" or "low speed with low heat." Despite the new technology, it's always been recommended not to simultaneously use the highest heat stetting at the same time you use the highest speed setting because the potential to damage the hair shaft is higher. That leaves you with "low speed with low heat" which takes *forever* to dry your hair. With the speed and heat settings on separate buttons you have the option to dry your hair on high speed but with lower heat or high heat but lower speed which are the best options to dry your hair quickly and safely. The third button, the "cool shot," is used at the end of drying to cool the hair quickly to help it "set."
*Retractable chord - anything that helps keep your home less cluttered is a bonus. Wrapping the cord around the body of the dryer is damaging so the retractable chord feature is a wonderful bonus.
*You also get concentrator and a diffuser attachments which come on many but not all dryers.
-The diffuser is for curly or other styles that can get blown out with the direct application of a jet of air. Also great for heat setting rollers that would get frizzy with direct air.
-The concentrator (that small attachment you normally throw away) serves the opposite purpose and is excellent for straightening and styling hair or training bangs.
*Removable filter - a common feature that helps to keep lint and hair out of the moving parts. Can be removed for periodic rinsing to maintain dryer performance.
