I used this blow dryer for about a week, and it's overall pretty powerful for its size. It's small, and would work great for travel. The two things I didn't like about it, hence the 3 stars, was how loud it is and after a while of having it on, it starts to smell like something is burning. This may be due to how small it is. For reference, I use my Dyson blow dryer, and it's not as silent as the Conair.
