I haven't had a new hair dryer in years and I am so impressed at how lightweight this is!  It has three heat settings and the hottest was too hot but the middle one is perfect.  My hair dried faster and the cool shot really helped lock it all in.  I have wavy hair that tends to get frizzy and when I don't blow it straight, it looks so much better with the diffuser than just by air drying.  Also, the 7 foot cord makes it easy to get the right positioning in front of the mirror.
