It is lightweight, easy to handle, and dries my long, thick hair in a flash. Having used Conair dryers in the past I knew the quality would be good but this far exceeded my expectations.  its dual  therapy really does the trick. I found that it dried my hair in roughly about half the time of my previous hair dryer, while leaving it looking fuller and thicker. In fact, I had to spray-water my hair after the first time I used the dryer, as it left my hair in need of product to comb-stay in place. My suggestion is to leave your hair just ever so slightly damp, for better manageability, as the heat/ionizer function works perhaps a little too well. It includes two attachments for more specific outcomes. The concentrator attachment is for smooth, sleek styles, and the diffuser attachment is for waves and curls. it has a removable rear filter so that you can clean it to remove any lint buildup and extend the lifespan of the unit.
