I bought this two weeks ago after my old one died.  It is much more powerful than my older hair dryer which I didn’t love at first.  Even on low, it was more powerful than my old dryer on high.  I had a hard time styling my bangs .  But, I am getting used to it. It certainly is a time saver in the morning.   Overall, I am glad I bought it but, wish it could dry at a lower speed.
