It Has Pros And Cons...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.posted Oct 30, 2009Link to this post -

It Had To Be Duct Taped After 3 Months To Still WorkI 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 its 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 dont care if it gets damaged. I must say if I didnt 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.posted Dec 9, 2008Link to this post -

Wonderful Hairdryer!I simply can not undertand the negative comments on the Solano Platinum. I have had mine for more than 7 years with no problem until recently, and that might have been caused by improper packing on my part for a recent commercial flight. It dries hair fast, and I never considered it to be heavy until someone suggested that it was. If you have a lot of hair, dont want to buy a new hairdryer every year, and are not a 90 pound weakling, this hairdryer is for you!posted Sep 20, 2008Link to this post -

Inconsistent And Dead After 4 MonthsBought 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.posted Jan 16, 2008Link to this post

Product Can Burn And Died One Day After Warranty PeriodThe 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.posted Jan 2, 2008Link to this post

Broke Into Four Peices Within A MonthI 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!posted Sep 21, 2007Link to this post
