Great for the 2 weeks it lasted - then a bomb

Received the Chi Pro hair dryer for a Christmas gift and started using it immediately. I loved it - it dried my hair quickly, was easy to handle, and made my hair look terrific. Two days ago I went to dry my hair and all I got was cold air. I tried both high and low blower settings, but no hot air was to be found. I'm hoping my sister-in-law who gave me the dryer will be able to exchange it wherever she purchased it. In the meantime, I'll use my 5 year old Conair!
Pleasantly surprised!

I had asked for a parlux dryer for xmas and ended up with this chi. After reading the mixed reviews on this site I wasn't expecting much. However, my two cents is that it is a good dryer. I only just got it so it is too soon to foretell if it will last long term, but it did a fine job drying and smoothing my wavy thin hair. And I had NO product in it whatsoever. It does dry the hair quicker than my previous dryer. It isn't heavy at all and I really do like it!!!! I am so far happy with the dryer, my only comlaint is that the nozzles don't go on and off with ease but it is fine because I don't use them anyway....Don't be afraid to buy this dryer.....does a fine job!!!!!
Disappointment!

I purchased this blow dryer without reading the reviews, what a mistake. The same exact thing happen to me. While I have had the blowdryer for 10 months now, i rarely use it. I was on my way to a wedding when I started to dry my hair & low and behold, the air would not get hot. What a disaster! It was an hour before I had to leave and I had no way of drying my hair, and it was 30 degrees outside! Talk about furious! I also have a CHI curling iron that burns my hair right off, it is also faulty. Urgh!!!
Great while it lasted!!!!! :(

My hair stylist uses this chi hair dryer and so since I loved the way it made my hair feel I bought one too. I had it for about 6 months and then it stopped blowing hot hair. Got it repaired and it went out again 2 weeks later. Very disappointing to spend so much and not get your money's worth.
do you feel lucky?

I bought a chi pro dryer about two months ago to use a t work and it is ALREADY out of hot air altogether. Lots of money to only get two months out of it. I am not very happy:(
Love it!

I purchased this blow dryer a little over a year ago. At first I loved it. It was shortly after the one year warranty was up that it started to blow cold air then very hot air burning my hair and scalp. I did continue to use it against my better judgement, hoping to get a little more use out of this 115.00$ hair dryer. Then one morning, as i was drying my hair, a small flame came out of the nozzle and the blow dryer finally met its end.
I loved this dryer until it injured me!

I bought the chipro blow dryer about a year and a half ago.
I loved everything about it until about 6 mos ago. I noticed it had a self cooling device, it would stay hot for a few minutes and then be cool for about 10 seconds. Then one day I was styling a clients hair and noticed an odd smell. A few seconds after that a flaming piece of plastic pierced my arm. Thank God my arm and not my client!!!! Immediatly after the Chipro dryer began to smoke. I unplugged it right away. I contacted where I purchase the dryer and was told my warrenty had expired. $100 down the drane, after this experience I will never by another Chi blowdryer! Beware!!!
Love this dryer!!

I love this hair dryer! I would leave the salon loving the way my hair looked and felt but was soon disappointed when I tried to achieve the same look and feel at home. I tried using the same products but still could not get it. Finally I asked my stylist what kind of hair dryer she used. It was the CHI Pro and so I got one. Now with using the CHI I can obtain the same look and feel I had when I left the spa. My hair is naturally curly and frizzy but I use this dryer along with a Mariyn round brush and my hair is soft, shiny and frizz free. I definitely recommend this dryer.
CHI will fix these for $35

I've had this dryer for a little over a year and it is doing the same as the other negative reviews. Blowing between warm and hot air.
I also had the limited edition red "hearts" dryer and it started blowing cold air in less than six months. Very disappointing.
CHI will fix or replace these dryers for $35 if you aren't under warranty anymore, which is better than buying a new one, but that's no excuse for the quality of this "professional" appliance.
I won't buy another CHI dryer. As a hairstylist, it is just too much hassle. I can't be without my dryer.
What a disappointment!

I splurged on this hairdryer less than a year ago and now it won't heat at all! Very disappointing for such an expensive hairdryer. I treated it with care hoping it would last for at least several years. I will try to return for warranty repair or replacement but am not hopeful of positive results. It did a great job while it lasted but lots of $$$$$$ for a few months.
Great dryer!

My hairdresser recommended I buy this hair dryer. I was tempted to buy the more expensive one, but this one works great.
It doesn't dry out my hair and it keeps it from looking frizzy.
What a god send!

I have a ton of thick, frizzy hair. I also flat iron my hair, but this dryer takes care of half of the work for me. With standard dryers it would take me about 1 hour to dry all of my hair - but the Chi takes care of it in 20 minutes and with much better results. Less frizz and sleek, smooth hair. I love it!

I've tried different hair dryers trying to find the right one for fine hair. This one works terrific with 1300 watts so, it doesn't blow dry your hair with too much power!I can tell a major difference with the Chi dryer, Sedu Ionic Ceramic Pro Flat Iron, and the Sedu Heat Protecting styling protection spray! Your tools make a difference in healthy hair. It's definetly worth the money!
Great improvement over last dryer!

I was looking to upgrade my Revlon dryer and my stylist uses as CHI. I love how soft and smooth my hair is when she uses it. I shopped around carefully and tried to compare the various models. Well, I compared the Pro with the Nano in person and I could see no difference at all. I got the Pro because it was less expensive. I am very happy with it so far. It does not cut the drying time in half as advertised, but it may cut it by a few minutes. The main difference I see is that my hair feels softer and smoother afterwards with fewer flyaways. My old dryer seemed to get my hair hot without really drying it. The CHI seems to dry it more thoroughly. I was concerned that 1300 watts might seem wimpy compared with the 1875 my Revlon had, but I can't tell the difference. If anything the CHI might seem more powerful.
Note that the info that came in the box said that the warranty is void if purchased over the internet.

I splurged on this dryer about a year ago. It was great at first, then I started to notice that it would not stay hot for very long. It would alternate between being hot for about 2 minutes and then cold for about 20 seconds. Now it has gotten so bad that its hot for about 20 seconds and then goes cold for 2 minutes! It takes forever to dry my hair, and of course its out of warranty now. So sad!
