TONS OF SPARKS, CRACKLING & A BIG BLUE FLASH of electricity from base of handle...SCARY!! BEWARE!!
My daughter and I have very thick, wavy hair so we have tried ALOT of hair dryers including the overpriced Dyson.  Lol<br /><br />This dryer served us well for the past 2yrs until last night, without ANY warning (visual, sound or odor) the thing LITERALLY EXPLODED IN MY HAND at the base of the handle where the cord exits.<br /><br />It does dry fast, but I am not willing to take the chance that this might happen again. Yes, it was kept clean.  No, no hair was near the barrel.  The cord was not loose or frayed.  Completely unexpected and scared me to death!  Had to beat the sparks off of me and stomp them out on the floor after I threw the dryer away from my arm/head.
