I had a ConAir when I was younger but, this one really helped me.   I even use it when I comeback in after the outside.  I remember my days working in Biotech and the labs had these giant wind-tunnels at the door that were anti static.   This hair dryer has two settings and it helps me greatly.   The Conair that I had  when I was younger lasted 20 yrs.  I hope this one does the same.   Thank you, ConAir for making Quality products.
