Inconsistent and dead after 4 months

Bought a Solano on recommendation from my hairdresser. The air temp was inconsistent, fluctuating from extremely hot to mildly warm. The hairdryer itself was very hot to the touch at some points during my blowdry. The buttons are in inconvenient places so sometimes I accidentally turned the dryer off. And it died after only 4 months of use. I will never buy a Solano again.
Product can burn and died one day after warranty period

The Solano Platinum is way too heavy for regular use...has a metal nozzle that gets scorching hot and will burn human flesh upon the briefest of contact...but, you have to admire the engineering that went into this product...particularly with respect to planned obsolescence...mine died precisely one day after the warranty period lapsed and Solano refused to do anything for me...insisted that I pay for shipping to and from their company in addition to the $50 repair charge.
Broke into four peices within a month

I thought this dryer was great until it broke into four pieces within the first month of purchasing it. The design is not good, for the black plastic cannot hold the silver covers, so the front cover first broke when the black ring that held it in place cracked and eventually broke off of the dryer. Then the back silver cover that protects the fan, came off of the dryer exposing the fan because the black plastic ring cracked. Now my dryer, which I have used under ten times, is out of service. Urgh!

I have owned Solano in the past and was very satisfied
This platinum is correctly named. It is fantastic..
Stylish, priced right and fast.It is a little heavier than the previous model I owned, but that's o k, because it takes less time to use.
Excellent choice
TERRIBLE QUALITY!

This hairdryer did work well while it worked, but it burned out within a few months of owning it. I returned it to have it fixed and had it back only a few months when it burned up again! Terrible disappointment, so save your money!
Not worth it!

Will burn your hand if you slightly touch it while drying your hair. Died within one year. I thought it was going to catch on fire. It would set my fire alarm off. The brand makes other good products, but this particular product is just not worth it when there are so many other options.
It is WORTH the $$$

I have super curly hair. This dryer is powerful and has cut down on the time I have spent straightening my hair. I have never had a problem with it. It does become hot after use for a while, but it performs well. It is reasonably priced.
disappointed...

I purchased this blower alil over a year ago and it already died on me. The back fell off and the platinum part burns your hand if you accidently touch it. The gold concentrater didn't even fit. Solano cusomer service didn't help either. I just figure that the blower should've lasted alittle bit longer and I don't have kids,never dropped it once. It just died on me. Not worth the money. The brand is good,just not this model.
unvelivable

I love this dryer: easy to hold, a cool air button and enough setting to satisfy. The only thing to watch out for is that the dryer itself gets very, very hot as this model is metal, not plastic
Not worth the $$

There was no difference between my cheap dryer and this dryer... my hair was frizzy afterwards. the dryer is really heavy too and the barrel gets really, really hot! It did however dry my hair really super fast. Ive used professional dryer that have transformed my hair and left it super silky, this one does not perform :(
I love my Solano Hair Dryer!

I had high expectations when I ordered the Solano hairdryer. When I received it, it exceeded my expectations. I used to hate washing my hair because it took me over an hour to blowdry. Now it takes me 15 minutes to blowdry. The Solano is a huge timesaver and I'm happy to have bought it!
Great stuff!

Excellent dryer. A little on the heavy side but well worth the muscle. It dries thick hair very fast.
Metal nozzle burns - Be careful!
Reviewer:

I recently bought this hair dryer and while I like it, the metal nozzle gets so ferociously hot that I now have two scars on my forearm from burns from the nozzle. A good hairdryer needs a nozzle like this so your hair doesn't get completely frizzy, and why Folica would sell one with such a dangerous component is beyond me.
Can burn!

Ive used this dryer professionally for a few months and I have burned myself on the metal nozzle. It is a heavy dryer as well. Also be aware of the removable vent pad on the pad. This fell out once while drying and it started to suck up my clients hair!
excelent hair dryer

I love this hairdryer, it dries really quickly, the metal nozzle does get hot so I use the plastic one, I did a lot of resaerch on dryers before buying, and these ones came out good as the motors are made in Italy and last longer. Also Folica were really quick at processing and shipping my order
Awesome Results! Cut your blow dry time in half!

I recently bought the Solano Platinum hair dryer and I have been blowing out all my friends and family's hair because they love how mine looks. It's powerful, cuts the blowing time in half and makes your hair so SHINY AND SMOOTH! Worth the money if you blow dry your hair frequently especially for those who have naturally curly hair and blow dry it straight.
great product, crappy service from Solano

I am definitely impressed with the quality of the product... now that I have a decent hair dryer that isn't cracked. I ordered this hair dryer online just after Christmas, and was pumped when I got it about a week later. I was excited until I opened it up and found out that the product was dead in the box (meaning, there was a manufacturing defect). I found out that Solano wanted me to pay to ship it back to them so that they could send me another one. This didn't seem right to me, considering it wasn't my problem, and considering the fact that I live in Canada, it was going to be expensive. I felt that the way Solano dealt with my problem was less than professional, and although I do enjoy the hair dryer, because of my experience with the bad service from Solano I will never order from them again. Be careful when ordering from Canada, it doesn’t seem like Solano cares much about their northern clientele.
