    Great Dryer!
    I've been using this X5 dryer for almost 8 years now. It's a fantastic dryer. It works really well, very lightweight, folds up nicely, doesn't take a lot of space, and pretty powerful. The one I had just died (after 8 years) and I'm buying another 2 of these (one to have in the house and one for travel).

    Excellent Travel Hair Dryer
    I bought this specifically for an upcoming trip to Ireland and Scotland, and it worked perfectly! It is quite powerful and dried my hair quickly. If using this somewhere where you will need an adaptor, make sure you are only using an adaptor and not a voltage converter as well, since the hair dryer has its own coverter, you may damage your hair dryer if you use it with a voltage converter as well.

    A Real Zero
    I purchased this item for a trip to four countries in Europe (UK, Germany, Vienna, and France). The blow dryer failed to deliver at every destination. The X5 would power-up, but immediately shut down and not operate. Totally useless. I know it was not caused by the adapters I used because I used the same adapter without issue for the CROC travel flat iron I purchased at the same time I bought this worthless X5 Travel Hair Dryer. Adding insult to injury is the fact that Folica would not allow me to return the X5 Superlousy Tourmaline because the 30 day period had passed, despite the fact that I was unable to return the item while traveling abroad for an extended period. The best Folica could offer was warranty service. I had to pay return shipping (apx $13.00) to get a replacement for an item I didn't really want to risk trying again. Now I have my "replacement" X5 but have no desire to drag this piece of junk along on another international trip since there is no way to test it before departure. Do yourself a favor, save yourself some money, spare yourself a lot of needless hassle, avoid the cost of return shipping: BUY A DIFFERENT TRAVEL DRYER!

    Great For Short Hair!
    I have a short bob and this dryer cut my styling time in half. It also leaves my hAir with more shine. It is small, but that's one of the reasons I got it.

    Stay Away! Not Safe!!!
    I bought the X5 in October, 2011, because I wanted something light, small and effective when I travel internationally as a back-up. Since almost all hotels provide hair dryers, I didn't have a chance to use it until last month. I was in Spain, where the power line is 220v. The X5 started getting very noisy in a few minutes, and then, all of a sudden it got very very hot! I jerked and threw it out, but not before it burned my neck and my palm. My palm is now fine, but my neck was burned very badly. I was in pain for several weeks, and I still have the marks. Unfortunately for some reason the website won't allow me to upload the picture I took of the burns. Anyway, just a warning that this is an extremely dangerous device. I shuddered at the possibility that had I reacted a little bit slower, it could have burned my scalp and face!!!

    Weak Air Flow
    Pros: Very small and slim, the barrel without attachment only measures 5 inches, weighs only 9 ounces (I weighed it), the cord length only 5.5 feet. Excellent for travel. Does the job and good result for my hair, which is shoulder length, medium thickness.

    Cons: Air flow is very weak. The high setting air flow is about the strength of a low setting in regular dryers. I guess that is due to the1600w vottage. So the dryer dries hair with hotter heat. If you have long and thick hair, I think you will be frustrated with this dryer due to its mild air flow. As a result, this dryer does not dry hair faster than regular driers as claimed. But then again, this is a travel dryer, it is hard to have every thing in such a small package.

    Like The Light Weight
    I like the ceramic won't damage my hair after blowing. But since it's for the traveling, it's not powerful enough compare to those professional one.

    Great Little Dryer
    I have curly hair and needed a light weight dryer with a diffuser for travelling. This dryer was perfect.....did the job, easy to pack, and lightweight. Nice size diffuser; I loved it so much, I continue to use it at home. As one of the other comments noted, the air does blow a bit much through the diffuser but for me, this did not present a problem. Also, just an off, hot and warm settings....thats it. I loved it....highly recommend

    Very Compact And Efficient, When It Works
    We bought this dryer about four years ago.It is powerful and convenient for travel, however, we have had the on/off switch fail twice during the warranty period. When we bought this, the instructions were to return it to the manufacturer, with a check for $9.99 for warranty repairs. So with shipping it cost almost $20.00 each time to get the warranty repairs. The second time we didn't receive it back for a month, but they did replace it with a new one. Maybe now that Folica handles warranty, this process may be cheaper and faster.

    Great Hair Dryer And Great Service
    I couldn't believe how quickly this was shipped to me!! This is a great dryer and also is perfect for travel. It dries my hair quick and using a styling product my hair comes out smooth...I am in the over 50+ age so my hair sometimes has a mind of its own...but I have no complaints with this dryer....
