This dryer is the best!!!My friend is a stylist and she replaced her old one with this one..When I tried it I couldn't believe it.It dried my hair twice as fast and my hair has never looked so shiny.Its lightweight so its easy to use at home and for my friend at work who uses it several times a day..Thumbs up on this product!

I also bought a T3 dryer that was broken within a year. I thought it worked just OK prior to that. I have very thick and course hair but really did not see much difference between that and my $30 dryer other than the heat settings. Then one day I was using it and something inside suddenly came off and cause a really loud noise. Wish I had read the reviews here before I invested in the product.
Worked well even in high humidity Houston

I live in high - hot humidity weather (Houston) ... and I have thick, coarse, really fluffy in humidity hair. Oh and I have lots, lots of it... I had blow-dryers that last me 4-years but did not do what this dryer does. I've had it over 2 1/2 years... but it did stop working today. Yes, this upset me. I also did not blow dry my hair regularly -- but when I did -- even with this dryer, took me 45 min (I have a lot of hair -- and it's long). Needless to say, other dryers took far longer to dry my hair with, and did not look as sleek and shiny as it did with this one. I have to say I did love my dryer, just upset it stopped working. Now I am looking to buy a new one .. don't know what to buy next. I will read reviews.. and see what I get. I decided to write a review, simply because I wanted to say this blow-dryer does work -- really good.. it lived to it's expectation and more. But unfortunately, it's longevity .. it's not long.
Love it

I have had this dryer for 2 years. I have really like it, but it stopped working today. Keeps shorting out. Seeing the reviews...it looks like lots of people say the same thing! Works well for a year or 2 then it dies. Ridiculous to pay this much for a hair dryer for something that lasts 2 years. I had a vidal sassoon dryer I used hard for 10 years and then it broke after I dropped it really hard!

I got the T3 as a Christmas present from my husband (3 months ago) Today as I was blow drying my hair it blew up in my hand. This product is a hazard, DO NOT BUY it!! I am calling the complany and want a refund, this is ridiculous, I have a conair blow dryer that I have had for over 6 years and it is still in perfect working condition!!!

I have had two of these dryers. I kept the filter clean and yet it just stopped with the heat and only cold air.....yet does not dry the hair. The second one was wonderful for several months and then the power would go from high to low..very low...then would just stop. A few days later I tried it again ......it got hot then the power went to very slow and low. Today it was slow and just stopped dead! I always keep the filter clean . Too bad I really liked this dryer. And yes it was genuine model.
Great at first, but burns out fast

I splurged on the T3 Tourmaline Dryer, and it worked great for a while. However, it runs really, really hot, and because of that it can scald your hair if you're not careful. After a year or so, it started to have an electrical burning smell, and had only have the air power it used to. I'm afraid to use it now, because it is clearly broken.
Switches turn off mid-hair dry!

I have very fine hair and it only takes about 10-15 minutes for me to blow dry my hair completely. Even so, midstream, this EXPENSIVE blow dryer would QUIT ON ME! And then it wouldn't turn back on until it cooled down for about 10-15 minutes. So I returned it for a new one, thinking it was a fluke... and it happened again - AND THEN AGAIN!! It got to point where I didn't trust it and would travel with TWO blow dryers. Needless to say, after three T3 blow dryers in a 9 month span, I gave up and went with a Babyliss. Not as good of a dryer, but at least it works!

I paid $150 for this dryer and it broke in about 8 months. I had also invested in the diffuzer, so I had almost $200 invested.
When it stopped blowing air forcefully, my husband took it apart and showed me how flimsy the parts and motor were. This dryer isn't worth $30.
Just got it and I love it

While I cannot vouch for how long this dryer lasts I got one about a week ago. And I've used it twice and it works amazingly well! My hair has been awesome. However, just getting this dryer does not mean you will have awesome hair. This is an expensive high tech tool for someone who knows what they are doing. The things I also purchased with this dryer was B&B prep, B&B styling lotion, a ceramic iconic brush with giant holes. I also know how to blow dry my hair, like the motion your wrist has to make to use the brush correcty, and how to put the spray in, how to section my hair to dry it, using the cold shot, etc...
So in conclusion, if you are looking for a good blow dryer (not a miracle to compensate for lack of skill and knowledge) then this is a dryer for you.

I am a hairdresser, I bought the T3 dryer at a hair show. With-in the first month I returned it because swithces went out. The same on my second dryer and the next two. So in six months I have had four dryers,all the same problem, all get hot, so hot that you need to switch form high to low and so the switches quit. In the 30 years I have bought hair dryers I know this products not for the pro!
Not so great

My mom bought me this hair dryer for Easter. At first, I loved it - my hair dried quicker than ever and it felt smooth and shiny! But in retrospect, I would NOT use this product. My long hair is now VERY DRY AND DAMAGED from this hair dryer. It is breaking a lot and is frizzy - something I've never experianced before using this hair dryer. It gets way too hot. I would not purchase this product unless you want damaged hair in the long run.
Worst Investment Ever

Don't buy one - even from the T3 site directly - I did, and it broke after only two weeks of use. Two weeks after I started using my T3 dryer, the fan cracked and caused a horrible shrieking noise and burning smell because the broken blade was scraping the inside of the dryer - that was two days ago. I've never had a dryer break on me before. Spending 5 times more that what I've ever spent on a dryer has not proven to be the smartest thing I've ever done. I did contact T3 and they said they charge a $45 replacement fee. What a rip-off. I feel like I've been cheated.
Great for quick drying but not for getting it straight

I have had my T3 for a few months and can see the difference now from this blowdryer and my previous blowdryer. My hair is 4A and I am black. I think this blowdryer is good for getting it dry quickly and it seems to give shiny healthy hair results. But my passion is wearing my hair straight. I normally style my hair with a flat iron and in order to get salon results, my hair needs a good blow dry. You may have heard before that the key to getting your hair right depends on the blow dryer. So I have gone back to my super solano blow dryer but I use my T3 to rough dry my hair so it won't be too damp when I blow it out with the solano. T3 has a soft motor and is lighter then the solano. Despite solano is heavier, it blows hard on medium or high temp which will get your hair blown straight with the round brush of your choice. And phillips monster vent brush does just that. However, T3 makes you feel good with blowing it on whatever temp setting which is a relief.
Great dryer, doesn't last

This dryer is amazing. I have extremely curly hair, but this dyer dries hair in a fraction of the time. My hair was left frizz free, shiny and smooth!! BUT- after about a month, half way through drying my hair the dryer would cut off and i'd have to wait several minutes for it to start again. This happened more and more often, several times during a 30 minute process until it died completely. I thought i'd buy the same exact one again. the same thing happened. GREAT DRYER BREAKS DOWN WITH IN A YEAR

I bought this hair dryer about 8 months ago the first on stopped working after 1 month. They sent me a new on I've had it approx. 6 months and the heat settings don't work properly.
I would not recommend this product to anyone also it is way way over priced.
