Chi vs. T3 Tourmaline Dryer
Reviewer:

from New York Mon Nov 28 2005
I had heard and read so much regarding the Chi and the Tourmaline Ionic hair dryers and could not decide which one, if either, to try. Finally, I decided to buy the Chi. Discovered that it does become extremely hot after 5 mins and that the buttons are awkwardly placed. For example, if you choose to use the cool button sporadically, your forefinger is going to get quite a workout. On the other hand, the Tourmaline T3 dryer offered superior drying power, leaving my hair in great condition. I purchased a diffuser to use with it and found that, unlike with the Chi, my dryer remained cool to the touch while drying my hair. Moreover, the Tourmaline dryer was lighter and much easier to manuever. In my opinion, the T3 Tourmaline Dryer is the clear winner in this competition.
I love it.

I've had this for 11 mos now. It takes me exactly one hour to dry because I have soo much hair that I work through by sections. It was amazing for the first few months: quiet, lightweight, sleek design, includes flat nozzle & diffuser attachments. The buttons are awkwardly placed, I accidentally turn it off at times. Drugstore dryers last exactly 6 mos. This has definitely outlasted but it's starting to smell like burnt hair. I've cleaned the lint trap several times. I hope its life isn't dwindling away..
Too Hot!

I'm sending this dryer back if I can. It blows too hot, and there is no way to cool down the heat. I have fine hair and am afraid that the heat will break my hair. Also, the dyer is heavier than I thought it would be.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

This is the best blow dryer EVER!!! I have very course and very very thick hair. It used to take me about 40 minutes to blow dry my hair but now it literally take half. And it leaves your hair feeling very soft and in my case minimizes friz. I know its alot of money but trust me it is SO SO worth it!!!
I LOVE THIS DRYER!!!

My hair never looked as good as it did when I left my stylist. I was using the same products, and brush but knew my hair dryer was less than optimal. This was alot of money to spend on a hairdryer but I really like the results. I have a lot of very fine hair that always took forever to dry. This works much fast and helps my hair look sleeker and less frizzled. I like it...but do agree with other reviewers that the on/off button is poorly placed and often accidentally pushed.
Great dryer

This dryer is far and away the best hair dryer out there. It really leaves your hair much shinier and smoother than a regular dryer, or even ordinary salon dryers. And it makes it much more humidity resistant also. Was surprised at some of the negative reviews about the quality of this product. My sister and I have each had ours more almost a year and a half, with no problems at all.

I bought my CHI last week and I love it!! It is lightweight and so quiet compared to storebought blow dryers. If I add up the time I have spent blow drying my hair I can safely say that the time spent would alone more than cover the cost of this product. I swear it cuts down the time by at least 1/2 an hour..... I have super super thick, fine individual hairs. I dreaded blow drying my hair every other day and now I look forward to it! The only negative is that the buttons should be placed better due to my fingers hitting them and turning it off....
Is It Worth the $$$

Well,here it goes yes CHI is a very (great) brand but it doesnt mean you HAVE to have one. If you work at a Salon and use it more then once a day yes youll get your money out of it. Although I have to say i bought 2 flat iron's (CHI) and they both broke on me less then 2 months old (well that is not old so new). If your like me and have medium hair moderetly thick hair naturaly idk wavy - straight. Just go with one that is not that expensive but has decent amount of watts. The only reason I was even thinking about this blow dryer was that i dont mind straighten my hair it's that I hate BLOW DRYING it. But my friend has this blow dryer and one day i used hers and it works just like my $26 HOT TOOLS Ion Travel Dryer I love it. I hoped this helped you save your money. Think about it buy a 20- 40 dollar one then buy good brushes heat spray and you still have what $ 100 dollars in you POCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What makes more sense it your choice your money so I did all I could to tell you just dont get if it's not nessacary. <333 Muah

Hello... I am about to tell you the real deal on this product... This is my first professional hair dryer... Yes,this product will dry your hair 3x faster than reg hair dryer... yes, my hair was shinier.. yes, my hair was less frizzy... yes, there is lesss breakage ( Ive been using it for over a mnth)... this dryer is really really quiet and lightweight... Okay, the bad thing about this product is that the buttons are placed right where your fingers are, causing the dryer to turn off while using it (which can be annoying).. the diffusier comes off with any wrong movement).. Overall though, it is worth it... I recommend this product to everyone... As a matter of fact I just purchased the chi straightener today... Happy Buying!!!!

I've only had it for 9 month and the heat is gone only cool air working, besides it too huge for an hair dryer, and i paid so much for it, save your money and invest is at the Tourmaline Hair dryer, way better.
Simply the best on the market

I have just purchased my second CHI dryer, nothing is wrong with my first its that it is just such an incredible dryer that I never want to be in a position where my present one wears out and I have to await delivery of a new one...yes, its THAT good. I have had a lifetime of being ruled by my hair. It is curly and unruly and I, unfortunately like to wear it dead straight. Having tried just about every professional dryer on the market I stumbled upon the Chi Ionic ceramic dryer...expensive but I thought I would give it a try. The difference was beyond words. Seriously, My hair was smooth and straight and seemed to dry very quickly. Everyone noticed a difference in the way my hair was smooth and straight..wondering if I had ironed it...I hadnt. This is without a doubt the best dryer on the market, in my opinion.

My dryer is only about 10 months old and already it is acting up. It will get so hot that it fries the hair, then it will cool down. I had to stop using it today and borrow another stylist dryer for the rest of the day. I'm very disappointed, I did enjoy it before this problem.
great product

This product lives up to its name. It's efficient and fast. The only problem is the buttons get in the way when holding it and it's easy to turn it off by accident.

I read about this product in a WALL STREET JOURNAL Weekend section product review,and bought my first CHI ionic dryer at that time.It was GREAT.It dries your hair in no time,and with very minimal frizz.My wife liked it so much,I had to get HER one,so I could get back my original dryer from her.Then,my daughter came home from college,and SHE loved it,so I had to get her one so mine wouldn't get 'borrowed' back to college.So,that's the story on why we are a 3 CHI family...
Don't understand the hype

I am not impressed with this hair dryer. It doesn't "blow" air and it is unable to give my hair any volume. I have long fine hair of medium thickness which is basically straight but can be a little frizzy. When I uses this dryer my hair comes out slightly wavy and/or flat and sometimes it's still frizzy. My much less expensive blower works a lot better. I can't understand why everyone is raving about this product, other than it cuts drying time in half.
Light-weight, low noise

I really like this dryer. I used to use an old twenty-pounder, and I was surprised at how light this is. I was equally impressed at how quiet it is. An important feature for me is the concentrator nozzle; it swivels easily around the barrel. The easily adjustable nozzle is good for those of us who use the dryer to straighten out curly or kinky hair.
My only complaint is that the power switch is located in the exact place where I grip the handle, causing occasional shut-offs while I'm drying my hair.
