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.

Love it! This is my 2nd one. As a stylist who works 5 days a week--this thing rocks! It's quiet and drys super quick. Also, light-weight.

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.

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.
Nice and quite

I really love this dryer. My twin daughters have very long hair and hate to blow dry their hair because it takes too long and they don't like the noise.
They were very happy to find their hair would dry in half the time and was quite. For me I like the fact it doesn't blow my hair everywhere and it dries a whole lot less frizzy. When I first got it I didn't think it was powerful enough because I was use to dryer that blow you back to OZ. I also bought the Flat iron and the curling iron by CHI. I have to admitt I like the curling iron better because I am not use to a flat iron. Best curling iron I have ever owned. I travel a lot and I always take my dyer with me even though hotels have dyers.
C an't be without my CHI.

i love this hair dryer - it tries my hair significantly faster than other blowdryers and my hair seems to require less styling.

I have no hair styling talents, nor do I have the patience. This hair dryer is excellent for me! It dry's quickly (since I am impatient) and styling is a breeze. My hair now has great body, instead of fine, limp, and flat. I look great now every day!
(My husband used it to defrost the freezer and it cut the time of that task in half.)This dryer is worth every penny!
This is a third time defect.

I am a salon owner and i bought the chi dryer. i bought five of those and the three of them blew up. I thought the name brand would be a good product but that happened. It only last a couple of months. All my stylist complained about it. It just happened that the fourth one blew up again so, i do not know if i want to change it still. i actually have a total of seven because of 4 original purchased and 3 has been exchanged. Please let us know what the problems are that it blows up really fast. I think it does not happen in my salon only but other stylists that told me about it, too.

My sister gave me this at the beginning of the year when she received it a sample model from the salon she worked at at the time. I had used my original chi iron faithfully for almost 2 years before finally switching over to blow-drying straight. This dryer was fantastic; it was very hot and made my hair smoother and silkier than ever, while resisting the humidity for three days straight! It was lightweight and easy to handle, and on days when i blow dried just to dry my hair, it dried my hair in less than 10 minutes, as opposed to the 25 minutes it took for my t3 dryer to complete the job. My hair never felt fried or dry after using this almost everyday. However, the motor blew out after about 2 months. I paid another $150 to replace it just because I knew I couldn't live without it. However, the dryer i have now is starting to slow down on me, after only being used about 10 times! I hope this one doesn't break because I really want to love everything about the Chi Hair Dryer! Buy it for yourself and try it out; i hope mine were all defects because i wish everyone could enjoy this appliance without having it break down on them. This is my all time favorite dryer ever; don't let the price distract you from the performance. :)

For every dissatisfied customer I must say that you do not know what you're talking about. I read through many of the reviews and laughed about what was written about this awesome dryer. First of all, if you are one of those complaining that it's too hot you don't know what you're doing! I received this dryer for my 22nd birthday and have been using it for 10 months now and it works like a champ. I use a round brush to blow my curly hair straight. I am Korean and Black so my hair has a little curl to it, but not a tight curl. It easily straightens and looks like Asian hair. I do agree that this iron gets hot but too hot? No! If you have it directly on your roots for a long period of time of course it's going to be hot! How do you rectify that situation? Like a professional, you blow the roots and then move down the hair shaft. My Kerastase stylist uses all CHI appliances and he never burned my scalp using the CHI Turbo dryer, nor did he ever burn it using the original CHI iron (which is the #1 iron, blowing away the Sedu and Solia combined)!!! If you want to hate on a hair appliance, please...anything but this one because if you do, you don't know how to use it, thus you don't deserve to use it!

This is a nice dryer. It gets very hot but it doesn't blast my hair dry like my old dryer. It does dry faster, it's light to hold, but it is a little big, it's sometimes hard to manage. I have really long, thick, curly hair that I straighten often and this dryer does seem to dry it faster. I like the attachements the CHI dryer came with. It does cut down the frizz. The only thing I don't like is how big it is. It's good if you're doing someone elses hair.
Too Hot

I was excited to purchase the CHI hair dryer as I already have several of the CHI straightening irons in our salon and we love them.
The hair dryer is quiet and we like that alot. It does dry the hair fast but it is VERY HOT. Clients complain it's too hot near their scalp, neck and skin. My stylists complain it's too hot on their hands when moving the hair around. It seems especially hot to the client when when we try to round brush the hair. I am returning these hair dryers. It needs a lower heat option besides the cool shot button.

I bought it and the diffuser will not stay on the nozzel and falls off. The tabs on the diffuser which grip the nozzel are so small there is absolutely no holding grip. It is a poor design and for the price paid for a professional hair dryer is not what I expected. Check it out carefully if you need it with the diffuser in place. I am returning mine after checking the store's entire stock and found all 6 in stock with the same defective problem for retaining the diffuser in place.

Recently, my Chi dryer (red casing), began to smell, then shorted out. I called the 1 800# (Farouk Systems) for repair and was told that the company is not set up to receive repairs on the red model. In fact, I was told that this repair unit would not be operable for at least three months. Additionally, since I've had the dryer over a year they can't replace it. I asked for a call back from the owners, so far(it's been 24 hours), nothing. 3/1/05
If this is not resolved, I will not purchase another CHI product. The high cost of their products are out of line with their low rate customer service.

Same review as above... the heating element died in this hair dryer after about 6 months. It was wonderful up to then, but if you are spending this much money on something, it should last more than 6 month.

This hair dryer is great!!! I dries my hair in a few minutes and I have LONG CURLEY hair. I used to let it dry itself but now it is very easy. It also holds my hair straight if I use a brush.
I Love It.
Thanks
