I've had this for about a month. It works well and dries my hair quickly. I'd like to see 3 speed settings instead of just a low and high. It is also a bit heavier. My husband commented how loud this unit is and it is, especially at 6:30 a.m. if he's sleeping on his day off and I'm working. I do use the diffuser and I like that it stays on and does not fall off like my old hair drier. Over all, this seems to be a decent unit with a fair price. We shall see how long it lasts.
