Product Rating: 1 Hate This Dryer!
Reviewer: Emmy   Tue Oct 13 2009

Ugh - I couldn't stand this dryer! It lasted just less than a year and I regretted buying it every time I used it. The high setting was too hot and weak at the sake time, so it took forever to dry my hair (and I do not have thick hair). The low setting wasn't worth using. After about 6 months the settings switch started getting touchy - sometimes it would work, sometimes not. I can't believe I spent so much money on this thing and got such poor performance from it. It didn't make my hair look any better than my husband's $15 drugstore hairdryer. A few weeks ago the setting switch started shorting out and I tossed it in the garbage. I recently ordered a FHI dryer based on positive reviews - hopefully it will be better than the CHI. I will never buy another CHI product again (even though my CHI flat iron lasted almost 8 years - its only now that I have a Sedu that I realized that the CHI iron wasn't all that, either. It used to catch my hair all the time, something that never happens with the new Sedu).

Product Rating: 1 Horrible product
Reviewer: Christina from Philadelphia, Pa  Sat Sep 26 2009

I can't believe I spent $140.00 and it only lasted 7 months. I had $10 hairdryers that lasted years. The dryer does not let out hot air anymore only cold air when I tried to blowdry my hair. I'm extremely dissapointed.

Product Rating: 1 Poor Quality
Reviewer: Sheryl from Louisiana  Fri Sep 04 2009

The Chi Hairdryer was given to me as a gift for personal use only. It shorted out and threw sparks everywhere. The sparks caused burns over my hand. I am highly disappointed. The price is way too much for such as this to happen. A $10 product would last much longer. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Happy and confused!!!
Reviewer: Pat from Orlando, FL  Fri Aug 28 2009

I love my blowdryer It does everything it says it would do and more!!!!LOL What has got me confused is what kind of use people give their blowers that they brake them soo quickly!!! It is for the hair!! Laundry and everything else needs a bigger dryer people!!!

Reviewer: BlowdryQueen   Tue Jul 28 2009

The motor broke or something. It's making a very loud and scary noise. I'm trying to figure out where I can recycle it.

Reviewer: ashley from virginia  Tue Jun 09 2009

I am a hairstylist and when I first started Cosmetology school I traveled to Hairshows....well I watched Chi there and they are awesome, so I figured on buying one of their hairdryers..it cost me 150.00$ and I should have just bought a 10$ hairdryer from a dollar store. It absolutly sucked. I see no difference in them than any other cheap hairdryer..that was a BIG LOSS of 150.00$ I will never do that again.

Product Rating: 1 Not Worth It!
Reviewer: Anonymous from Texas  Mon May 25 2009

I have had a CHI flat iron for years and loved it. So when Christmas came around I begged my husband for a CHI blowdryer too. After much convincing of why he MUST spend so much money on a blowdryer he bought it for me. It is now May and it has already quit working. From the day one of using this blow dryer it didnt blow very hot or fast. It took twice as long to dry my hair. Now it has quit blowing hot air at all! It only blows cold! AFTER ONLY 5 MONTHS!!! I do not advise buying this blow dryer. I feel like I convinced my husband to flush $140 down the toilet!! Definately not worth it!!!

Product Rating: 1 this is JUNK!!!
Reviewer: anna from kailua  Tue Dec 30 2008

like everyone else, I think this product is junk!! i bought because i wanted a good dryer to style my hair fast and look professonal. nope. far from it with this dryer! I used this dryer for 5 mins, and then pulled out my old cheap dryer $20 dryer because it works better. the chi dryer took forever to dry my hair, its quiet because it has such a low voltage, which wont dry your hair fast at all! I own a chi flat iron that i love. i expected a high quality product hair dryer from chi too, but this is far from high quality or preformance!

Reviewer: Michelle   Tue Dec 02 2008

I paid almost $200 for this thing and it completely broke after 12 months (nice timing CHI). I now blow dry my hair by sticking my head out of the window on the way to work ... sometimes I walk my dog real fast then have him pant on my hair to dry it ... works as good as CHI.

Product Rating: 5 LOVE IT!!!! A MUST HAVE!!!
Reviewer: Vivian from Dallas, TXC  Fri Nov 21 2008

I love my chi flat iron so much that my husband decided to surprise me with a chi hair dryer. I didn't think I could spend that much money on a hairdryer but it is worth every cent!!!! It dries my super long hair in half the time and definately smooths the fly-aways. If I blow dry with a round brush, I don't even need my flat iron!!! Great product, great investment (especially since I use it every day). Would highly recommend and I will never go back to cheap hairdryers again!!

Product Rating: 1 no good!!!!
Reviewer: JARRED MONTGOMERY   Thu Aug 28 2008

IM A MALE HAIRSTYLIST AND BOUGHT THIS DRYER CAUSE EVERYONE WAS TELLING ME HOW MUCH FASTER IT DRIED HAIR. WRONG! I USED IT ON A CLIENT WITH CURLY HAIR AND COMPARED IT TO A $12.00 DRYER I BOUGHT. THE 12 DRIED IT TWICE AS FAST. DONT WASTE MONEY IM TELLING THE TRUTH. JUST LOOK AT THE WATTAGE. CHI- 1300 MOST CHEAP DRYERS GET 18-1900 WATTS DO THE MATH.

Product Rating: 5 Awesome
Reviewer: Linda from Florida  Sat Jul 26 2008

Just blow dryed my "stubborn coarse curly" hair for the 2nd time with my new dryer. I am in "awe" of the turn around in my hair with this dryer. No wonder my hair looked great at the salon and frizzy at home. I will pay the price for the Chi no matter what. I never want to be without it. I am a very satisfied customer. My hair has gone to prima donna silky hair and a complete turn around to the "Way we Were".
Thank you for making a great product.

Product Rating: 5 Works great and low EMF
Reviewer: Linda from Encinitas, CA  Tue May 27 2008

I've had this dryer about 3 months now, and use it daily. It works great, dries fast, is quiet, and I like the low EMF. I've never spent this much on a dryer, but I think this was a good purchase, given the health effects of EMF. Zippy color, too!

Product Rating: 1 Chi NOT worth It!
Reviewer: Anonymous   Sat May 24 2008

My husband bought me the GF1541 Turbo for Christmas. It worked for only 5 months, & now only blows cold air. Obviously, the quality doesn't match the price! I tried fixing it, as was suggested by another poster, but it still doesn't work. I've had less expensive dryers that lasted for years. Also, I must agree with others about it getting too hot, & the on/off button located right in the area where it's held. Consequently, one is accidently turning it off, which can be extremely annoying. I'm returning it tomorrow to the salon where he bought it.

Product Rating: 4 Love it!
Reviewer: Katherine from South Carolina  Tue May 20 2008

I think this hair dryer works great. The only thing that I don't see that it does is dry my hair any faster. I do notice that it doesn't get as hot. That is especially nice so that I don't get too hot. I like how it doesn't dry my hair out either.

Product Rating: 5 Awesome!
Reviewer: Sherryl   Sat Apr 19 2008

I loved this product so much!! The best hairdryer I have ever used. Heats up quickly, is quiet, and my hair looks shiny and smooth when done. Unfortunately the heat coil went on it in 8months of owning it. That sucks big time! I don't know if thats a flaw in it, or I just got a lemon, but I still believe in the product.

Product Rating: 2 Doesnt worth the money
Reviewer: Cecilia from Dallas  Mon Apr 07 2008

I recive this hair dryer, and its the worst hair dryer I ever Have... makes my hair so frizzie and doesnt help to avoid humidity wheter problems with your hair at all.. dont buy it!!!

Product Rating: 5 So far so good!
Reviewer: Linda Erickson from California  Tue Feb 26 2008

I've had this hair dryer for a few weeks, and I love it! It is QUIET. I bought it because it said it was quiet and low EMF. As long as it continues to work properly long term, I'll be glad I paid this much for a hair dryer!

Product Rating: 1 Waste of Money
Reviewer: Tonia L. Charles from Bossier City, LA.  Wed Feb 20 2008

Not only does this hair dryer suck, it sucks on ice. There is no power to it and it doesn't get very hot at all. I bought it as a package deal with the flat iron, so now I can't even return it. I would not recommend this hair dryer to African-Americans. It is clearly not for us.
