All hair dryers mostly feel the same to me but I was blown away by the air pressure coming out of this dryer - think of it like a shower with weak pressure (normal hair dryer) vs. one a hotel rainfall shower (this hair dryer) - this difference is there and you can feel it. It did help my hair dry quicker (I use a super absorbant hair towel to get as much water out as I can before drying which helps too). It's also a lot less bulky than what I normally use. I didn't use any of the attachments - my hair is fine and straight and I was able to blow dry the volume back into my roots without using any of them. I appreciated the long cord. My hair doesn't have any frizz so I can't comment on that aspect.  I was impressed with the power and would recommend.
