    Would Be The Best But Doesn't Last
    I orginally purchased this dryer at a beauty show in Vegas. I liked how it had mulit settings for speed and heat. It was also one of the lightest dryers I had ever purchased. It lasted almost two years. Then one day it started to smell like it was burning and the high speed setting was more like a low speed and I knew it was dying. So I went online and ordered a new one since I really liked it. The 2nd one that I order only lasted me 5 months when the same thing happened. It started to smell like it was burning and the high speed setting was not working and it basically died out. Would be the perfect dryer but like others have said just doesn't go the distance.

    Great Dyer
    I just bought this dryer about 2 weeks ago, and I have found that there are no problems as of yet. Its very light weight and compact with alot of power. I would recomend this product to others to try for themselves...

    Light, But Not Long Lasting!
    I was sold on the blow dryer because of its lightness and supposedly it was a really good and fast drying. I was delighted to blow dry my hair most of the time, until I realized how frizzy my hair would get as I blow dried it;I always had to use Bio Silk after blow drying. Not even a year later something sparked as I was using it and it smelled like burnt!!! I used my other blow dryer, which lasted me 6 good years and still going, which my mother kept. Expensive doesn't always mean better!!!

    Very Good Dryer
    I was interested in tourmaline hairdryers and found this dryer for $59 about 3 years ago. I have very thick, long hair that holds water and takes forever to dry. This dryer cuts the drying time in half, doesnt fry my hair and is much quieter than any dryer Ive owned. After three years of daily use my cat knocked it off the counter and one of the wires inside has come loose and causing the power to cut out but its definitely worth repairing given the price of new dryers. It has less airflow than my old dryer but with the tourmaline/ion technology combined with the heat, it dries my hair much faster without snarling and tangling my hair. The high heat setting is too hot for me so I dont bother using it. Ive read how great the T3 is but the same reviews also say they dont last. I rate this "Good" as Im sure there are some better models out there but this is a good, reliable dryer for the price.

    So-so Performance, Can't Go The Distance.
    I found this hairdryer not to be superior to your average drugstore hairdryer in terms of drying speed as well as ability to tame frizz, but it definitely looked extremely cool and was satisfactory. After 15 months of use (about every other day), one day there was an electrical popping noise and smoke coming out the back of the hairdryer. I dont think Im going to bother trying to get it repaired.

    Love It
    This is the nicest hair dryer I have ever owned. I loved it so much, I purchased a second hair dryer to keep at my weekend home. The dryer is lightweight and easy to manage. My hair, which is thick and curly, dries in no time flat. I recommended this hair dryer to my hairdresser and she purchased one as well.

    Excellent Dryer
    I was really surprised to read of few negative reviews on this dryer, I think this hairdryer is awesome!I ordered both the HAI elite and the Hot Tools tourmaline 1875 dryer because I had read so many reviews and I could not make up my mind between the two. What I really disliked about the Hot Tools dryer was the location of the buttons, I kept shutting if off or changing the heat settings, it was enough of a hassle that I sent it back. Now with this HAI dryer, the buttons are basically in the same location but they dont shut on or off when you are drying your hair. The heat temperature on this dryer is very hot and the air flow is excellent. This dryer made my hair soft, full and dried quickly. Also, if I am going to spend alot of money on a dryer, I want it to look good as well! This dryer has a nice, more expensive looking design, it doesnt look cheap like others out there. I would totally recommend this dryer, especially over the more expensive T3 which has horrible airflow in my opinion.

    My Favorite Hair Blower
    I love this hair blower, and its heat is certainly adequate. I have fine hair, and some of the hair blowers just get too hot for my hair. One feature I particularly like is that you can place it down on the counter while it is still on, and it will not move because of the non-skid material covering part of it. The placement of the on/off switch farther up the handle is a little odd, and maybe not the best design, but this is a very minor inconvenience to which I can accustom myself.

    Disappointing
    I was excited to buy this dryer. It has a higher wattage than my old Super Solano (that I love) which was my motivation to make the purchase. This dryer was a disappointment. It doesnt get very hot and for the amount of wattage it has, the output is not strong at all. I returned it. I am now using my old dryer which is duct taped but at least Im getting the results I need!Save your money and buy a Super Solano - Ive had it for about 10 years!
