It has pros and cons...
Reviewer: Allison   2009-10-30

Unfortunately, my second Solano platinum dryer broke while I was drying my hair this morning, and it was the second one that has broken in the same exact manner - despite my not having dropped it or anything like that, the black plastic ring that separates the two halves of the dryer cracks and splits apart. Because of this, of course, the two halves don't hold together and the whole dryer is rendered useless. I will say that both of my Solano platinum dryers lasted about 2.5 years before this happened, so it still has a longer lifespan than the cheap drugstore dryers I used to buy. It has a powerful motor, and two heat settings - the lower setting was enough to dry my fine hair each morning. The cool shot button also works very well. It is quite a heavy dryer, though. After two broken Solanos, plus the fact that the dryer is so heavy, I am going to try something else next.

Stop working after 3 month, wast of $

Long lasting
Reviewer: Eva   2009-06-06

I have used this dryer for 6 years and I would still use it if I would not drop it. Its really durable, great quality and overall goood dryer.

I have used this dryer for 6 years with no problems. It would still work but I recently dropped it and some parts were damaged. This dryer is really great

It had to be duct taped after 3 months to still work
Reviewer: Leah   2008-12-09

I bought this product here and I had to duct tape my Solano only after three months. I never thought to keep the box or receipt (I do now for hair products) so I had to use tape to hold the plastic part that extends from the handle up to keep the thing together. And its not damaged from improper use or handling either. I am not a professional stylist but I have 1/2 a pound of extensions 16" long weaved into my hair so I have been on a quest for a dryer that can cut my drying time down, because I wont part with the thickness of my extensions ever. I am caucasian and my hair is curly and while this does a moderate job drying it all it's nothing to rave about. The engine is loud too. I mean you can hear and feel it running and its a heavy dryer too on the wrist so I thought that it was going to stand the test of time but nope. I heard such good things about this brand but I have to say I am not at all thrilled. I think my chi is better and I now only use this one to travel because I obviously don't care if it gets damaged. I must say if I didn't have extensions this might not be so bad for some, but the weight of it and the noise is not desirable either. The ChI is better, thick hair or not.
