Product Rating: 5 great hair dryer
Reviewer: michelle from San Diego  Fri Aug 24 2007

I bought the hair dryer a month ago and I love it. It drys my hair so fast. I have medium hair and it takes 10 minutes instead of 20 minutes. Overall I love it.

Product Rating: 2 Sadly dissappointed
Reviewer: sweetiepea2180 from Boston  Tue Aug 21 2007

I spent HOURS researching the perfect dryer to buy...actually called 13 different top salons in Boston/NYC and read countless reviews here on Folica. I decided to go with the CHI b/c my co-worker said she loved it and had thick hair like mine. By nature, I have very thick corkscrew curls so my hair needs a lot of heat and power to dry it. I was truly disappointed with this product! I liked the ergonomics and the weight was good, however it left my hair flat and very snarly! I couldn't run my finger through it and it had no shine! Plus, it was lifeless afterwards---like I had just taken a clothes-iron to and and pressed it. So I returned it (as did my roommate who bought the same one and experience an abnormal amount of frizz regardless of the ion control) and she bought a babybliss and I'll be buying the Super Salono (recommended by 8/13 stylists I called!)

Product Rating: 5 No more hairspray needed
Reviewer: Jennifer from Bay City, Texas  Tue Aug 14 2007

This is an awesome dryer, well worth the money spent. I live in southeast Texas where the weather is horrible on hair and with this blow dryer I can dry and style my hair within 5 minutes and it stays all day. NO MORE HAIRSPRAY needed!!! What a product!

Product Rating: 5 Fastest way to dry your hair
Reviewer: Glamour girl   Mon Aug 13 2007

I bought this hair dryer about a month ago and it works great. I normally need about 25 mins to dry my hair completely and Chi dryer takes me only 10 mins to dry my whole hair. The result is excellent, my hair feels so much softer and silkyer.

Product Rating: 2 It broke after only 4 months!
Reviewer: camie from TX  Sat Aug 04 2007

I am so unimpressed! It dried okay, not in half the time though. Poor design with the button locations and it's a bit heavy. It just quit on me one day, and it's only used every other day for 15 minutes! I'm moving on...

Product Rating: 5 Great Hairdryer
Reviewer: Wendy from Decatur, GA  Wed Aug 01 2007

I bought this hairdryer after reading lots of reviews, and I have not been disappointed so far - I've had it about 2 months now. My hair is much less dry, including one part in particular that had completely dried out and would never defrizz, no matter how many times I ran my flat iron over it (it was my top-most layer that also had lots of highlights in it). My hair is softer, dries faster, and I often don't even use my flat iron at all - if I do, it's very little. I used to have to flat iron every bit of my hair to get it straight. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend the dryer to anyone.

Product Rating: 4 Chi is worth the money, works great
Reviewer: Lauren A   Tue Jul 24 2007

I have really long, thick, coarse hair and this blowdryer works great. It's taken about 20 minutes off my blow dry time, which is nice if you have hair like me. There's nothing worse that fighting your hair for an hour and having to take breaks because you're overheated! It also makes my hair very smooth and not frizzy like other dryers, I almost don't need to use a straightener which is amazing. I've this blowdryer for about a year and it still works great.


The only complaint I have is that the dryer is a little heavy. It takes me about 30-40 minutes to do my hair so the arms get a bit soar.

Product Rating: 5 I love it!
Reviewer: Lyndy from California  Sun Jul 22 2007

All that is said about this dryer is true. It dries fast, your hair is softer and the frizz is gone. Even though this costs a lot more than other dryers, I won't ever buy another drug store dryer. Can't beat this one!

Product Rating: 5 Chi Rocket is just that
Reviewer: Emily Marcellus from Tampa Florida  Mon Jul 16 2007

The chi rocket is the best hair dryer that I have ever used. I live in Florida and there was nothing that I could do to keep my hair shiney and unfrizzy like it did when I lived in New York. This hair dryer answered all of my prayers. I have very thick hair and now it always look full and shiney and takes 10 minutes to blow as opposed to 30 minutes before. I was alittle skeptical when I read some of the reviews saying that the cold shot button is in an awkward place and keeps turning on, but I have not had any problems with it. It is worth every penny and more....

Product Rating: 5 CHI Rocket
Reviewer: Lisa from Edmond, Oklahoma  Wed Jul 11 2007

Overall, I have been extremely pleased with this purchase. The Chi Rocket heats up quickly and does a great job at drying my hair.

Product Rating: 4 Love it!
Reviewer: Shawnee from NSL, Utah  Wed May 02 2007

Really great hair dryer! I love the way it works with my hair. The only downfall is the engineering behind where the cold button is...it's too easily touched when handling the dryer.

Product Rating: 3 Was it worth the Money?
Reviewer: Ann   Sun Apr 29 2007

Although the Rocket is fast at drying the hair and the cool Shot button is easy to control the button is in a very akward place. Resting where your fingers hug the handle. I also thought there would be a power shot button to boost the speed of the dryer and there are only a high and low setting. Low being warm air and the high being hot air and not a lot of force. Liked the attachments but was let down that a custom fit diffusser is not made for this type. Being a Professional...I wouldn't reccommend this for the salon. Try something a little more powerful. But if it's just for home use...definatley worth it!

Product Rating: 5 Great High–Quality Dryer
Reviewer: Liz from Pittsburgh, PA  Mon Apr 23 2007

I was clueless about what a difference a good hair dryer can make. I was so irritated that I couldn't make my hair look decent myself after I got a great haircut. I decided to invest in some quality equipment and products, including this CHI dryer and a Solia flat iron. The difference is absolutely amazing. It always looks like I just came from the salon!

Product Rating: 2 Great while it worked
Reviewer: SM from Atlanta, GA  Sun Apr 15 2007

It did work well, kept less frizz, BUT, died after 15 mo. (no heat). I am NOT a stylist, so just used it for personal use, so I was very disappointed. WAY too much money to spend for a product to die so quickly.

Product Rating: 5 This Hairdryer is Great!
Reviewer: Laurie Gaffney from clifton va  Tue Apr 10 2007

I really like this hair dryer! It dries my hair very quickly. I am very happy with my Chi Rocket! It's great!

Product Rating: 4 I like it alot!
Reviewer: Lisa from New York, NY  Mon Apr 02 2007

The only complaint is the location of the on/off switch. It does turn off accidently when I am blow-drying. It is annoying, but that is a small price to pay for the excellent blow drying results.

Product Rating: 5 Chi Rocket review
Reviewer: Sophie from Virginia  Sat Mar 24 2007

I just recently purchased a Chi Rocket Professional Hair Dryer. I am extremely satisified with my purchase. I could never replicate my hairdressers performance until now. My hair is silky and healthier since I have been using the Chi Rocket. The Rocket dries my hair in half the time it used to take my old dryer.

Product Rating: 4 Impressed!
Reviewer: anonymous   Sat Mar 24 2007

I once again opted for the low EMF hair care appliance. I have the HAI flat iron. Not willing to sacrifice health for beauty. But, it was a tough choice between choosing the chi or the sedu ultrasilent. I am not disappointed. I am african- american. I have relaxed hair. After I had finished blow drying my hair I was like no way. It had body and didn't suck the moisture from my hair. The drying time was fast. I have to admit it's like going through culture shock going from a regular dryer to a professional ceramic hair dryer. My hair is smooth, soft, and moist. Remember I have chemically treated hair. So, it's fragile to begin with. It was time for me to get a touch-up and now I can wait a little longer. There is no sign of dryness. None! None! None! Between the chi and my Denman paddle brush I used I couldn't be happier. And no hair breakage. It did better than when I air-dried my hair.

I would also like to say to people who wish this dryer had more heat setting choices is that there is a good reason. Ceramic dryers are self-regulating and turns itself down as it senses the surrounding temperature. And because of that many won't come with multiple temperature controls, usually just high and low. I'm paraphrasing from research I've done.

p.s. As long as this thing dosen't break on me I am 99.9% satisfied. I look like I've been to the salon. I just have to brag. :)

Product Rating: 5 worth every penny
Reviewer: Ana Pere from Natchitoches, LA  Wed Mar 21 2007

I bought it for my daughter's birthday, she loves it. It cut her drying time in half. She has thick hair and it used to take her for ever to dry her hair. My younger daughter tried too and she is begging me to get her one for her birthday too.

Product Rating: 5 CHI PROFESSIONAL ROCKET DRYER
Reviewer: Anonymous from Portland, Oregon  Wed Mar 21 2007

I am very pleased with this hair dryer. I have very thick coarse hair--shoulder length. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to dry. Now, it takes about 5-7 minutes, which is what I was aiming for in the morning!
