Conair 1875-Watt Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer with Diffuser and Concentrator, Black

After having used this for a couple years now and also having had to borrow or use other hair dryers - I can say this is an elite hair dryer. It dries hair fast but more than that the buttons are designed so well to sit flat against the handle so you’re not accidentally changing the temp or intensity when you hold it. And it’s LIGHT!!! I can’t tell you how shocked I’ve been at how heavy other people’s hair dryers are. Anyways I love it and I will never part with it. I have started to consider traveling with it even though it would take up too much precious carry-on space.

I purchased this item for $21.60 on 7/13/16 from Amazon and have been very happy with it. In fact, I have been using it almost every day since! My old, beloved hairdryer died so I read the reviews of MANY different hairdryers and decided on this one. I’m more than satisfied. The price is wonderful for the quality I received. I really like the 3 different heat settings, the cool shot, and the 3 different blower settings. I also really love the ability to open the cover to get to the mesh filter to clean it – I often use a small toothbrush to do so and it’s very simple. From all the reviews I’ve seen, I hope to use this for many years to come. These new tourmaline ceramic dryers are not always what they advertise to be, but this dryer is everything it says it is and more.The key is the high-powered motor; it gets my entire head dry in less than 8 minutes. A quick run through with a straightener after I'm done is all I need to get my hair completely ready in the mornings. Plus it's lightweight and quiet. This product saves me at least 15 minutes in the morning that I used to waste getting frustrated with my hair. Now, my hair looks shiny and healthy. A big selling point for me is whether or not the hair dryer will damage my hair. I try my absolute hardest to only wash my hair 2-3 times per week and keep it as healthy and natural as possible. With this purchase, I haven’t noticed ANY signs of damage to my hair. I usually shower in the mornings before work (and wake up at the latest possible minute), so using a hair dryer is a must for me a few days out of my week.Another key selling point for me is just how QUIET this dryer is. This is the first hair dryer I’ve owned that won’t wake up everyone who’s sleeping on the same floor as me. Not only am I much, much happier with this feature, but everyone living with me is extremely happy as well.The price is lower than anywhere else I’ve looked for comparable hair dryers and it arrived quickly with no cost for shipping, as I’m a Prime member! Amazon has been wonderful to deal with yet again and has never let me down with their services.

I have been using this hairdryer now for less than a year but several months. It's adequate. The cord is a bit shorter than I'd like making movement a bit restrained. The slider switches for the temperature (on the left) and the speed (on the right) are cheaply made. They're plastic and if I don't take extra pampering with them, they WILL break. They are flimsy. They act like they want to pop off sometimes but I push down on them and they snap back down. The Cool button is in the way...period. Whoever designed this should not have put that button where it's located. It's right in the grab area on the handle making it awkward handling the dryer as you dry your hair. The force of the blowing is pretty extreme. Even on low, this dryer blows pretty hard. I have to be careful where I aim it or things on my countertop will blow off...even on low setting. The low blow setting is more like a medium blow setting. As for making my hair silky, well, it does seem to make my hair a bit more healthy. I can't deny. It has kept my hair from getting out-of-control frizzy. I have slightly wavy hair naturally, so when I dry it, I try to straighten it as I dry. It still sometimes turns out a slightly frizzy, but nothing a flat iron can't finish off. I don't have to use my flat iron as much..I will say that. I've used the diffuser a couple of times and it does help to dry my hair without the direct blowing. Not sure it does better than using my fingers though. Maybe i'm just not doing it right..who knows. Overall, it's an ok dryer. I'm not liking the flimsy buttons and the awkwardness of the location of the Cool button, but I am trying to use the Cool button more now to "cool off and set" a lifted portion of hair to give it body and it seems to help. Time will tell if the filters will do their job. I bought this dryer because my last (Revlon brand) dryer's filter disintegrated for some reason. I guess it was just too old. I loved my old dryer but it wasn't this new ionic feature type. I decided to change to this since reviewers and ads said it would make my hair silky. ...and it does. So for that, I give it 4 stars.

This product was something I bought years ago. No store near me carries this one currently. It's an older model. But, very efficient. It works well! The dryer is a bit louder, but isn't disruptive like some older models (i.e.) the neighbors should be fine hahaha.This is the type of situation where the older model of a product works better than the newer ones released after it. That is sometimes the case with certain manufacturers or companies.When this model was back in stock and I was notified, I bought it immediately. This hair dryer lasted from the original release date until 2022. And, that's only cuz I dropped it. It would have still been fine I hadn't. The box most likely will have some scratches or marks (only from warehouse storage).But, it is nothing that effected my hair dryer. It was in its original box is the reason why. If you have ever worked customer service, then you know exactly what I mean. This is NOT a problem as long as nothing is cracked or defective shortly after you use it ;P Otherwise, you should good to go! It does get warm, but it cools off quickly.Again, to make sure it's clearly stated: Any box will get worn over time (due to warehouse storage). So, all in all, this hair dryer works just fine for me.
