This blow dryer is everything! It's not as hot as many of my previous blow dryers, but it doesn't need to be, it has so much power and dries your hair extremely fast! I also love the cool air option, it gets really cold so when your done blow drying you can cool off with that. It's easy to control and pretty self explanatory. There is an on/off switch, low, medium, and high heat and power setting, and then the cool off button. I'm now blow drying my hair in less than 10 minutes and I love it! Highly recommend.
