AprilAZHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairI Feel I Got Burned On This One.When I first purchased this dryer 1.5 years ago I was impressed. Very powerful and perfect heat setting. Heavy, yes. But you get used to it. I agree on the other reviews too that the buttons are in a bad spot and being unlabeled I still haven't memorized which switch does what.
Over the last year it's started to smell. Even after checking the lint filter, it just smells as if something is burning. The power seems to be slowly dying out too. Even while using it I can hear it "down shift" into a lower gear. I'm actually quite upset. I invested what I think is quite a bit of money on an appliance, I expect it to perform a little better and longer than it has. Now I'm nervous on spending big money on another dryer. Though it seems I'll have to buy a new one soon, I think this Elchim will die on me any day now. Also, my hair didn't feel any better afterwards, not any more shiny than if I had used a drugstore Conair. Not really sure why there are such good reviews on this.posted Apr 27, 2012Link to this post -
KayUnited StatesHairDark BrownCurly HairLove This!I'm a serious product junkie and go through hair dryers and flat irons in no time, just looking for the next best thing, and as far as hair dryers go this one is amazing! It usually takes me at least 10mins to dry my curly hair but it look me less than half the time to dry it and blow it out straight today. Love this dryer!!posted Apr 24, 2012Link to this post

LauraHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairGreat Dryer, Button Not So GreatI really like how the dryer dries my hair! What I don't really like about it is the placement of the buttons. Every time I've used it, I have accidentally pressed the buttons to off or to a different heat setting. I have to stop and put the buttons back to what they were. Also, I can't ever remember if it's the red button or the black button to turn it off and on. The red is off and on, but for some reason I continue to relate that to heat. I'm sure I will get used to it, but the buttons aren't that great.posted Mar 23, 2012Link to this post

D.s.b.HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairI Hardly Lost A Day Without A Hair Dryer!Thanks so much to folica for sending out my new hair dryer so quickly. When my regular hair dryer stopped blowing hot air, I didn't know what I would do about my "frizzies." But because of folica's quick shipping, I hardly missed a beat. I could swear the new dryer arrived almost within one or two days of my order!! And it is just what I wanted.posted Mar 19, 2012Link to this post

Suzanne Q.North Grafton, MAHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Blowdryer For A Full ManeMy hair is shoulder length and layered. It is on the coarser side and naturally curly (not kinky) when air dryed. It is also colored (by a professional, not me.) I definitely have a lot of hair.
My stylist recommended an Elchim when I told her my blowdryer was on the way out. She advised me to spend the extra money and get a more expensive dryer because I would see the results. She has used Elchims in the past and spoke highly of them. So I made the purchase and am very happy that I did.
Because of the shape of the nozzle, you can direct the air flow much better, which reduces the amount of frizz substantially. My hair ends up smooth, just like when my stylist blows it out.
The dryer is not heavy and is easy to use.
One of the claims to fame for this dryer is that it can reduce drying time by 50%. I have not found that to be the case, however, I give myself plenty of time to dry my hair so I can be thorough (section if off, etc.). So I have not seen a difference in my drying/styling time. But since I can go a few days between shampoos, this is not a problem for me.
Would recommend this blow dryer to anyone out there looking for a new one.posted Jan 17, 2012Link to this post
