Review (4/5): Great quality almost perfect!
I 95% love this dryer! Okay, in truth I would like to give it 4.5 stars, but that's not an option. I have been shopping for several months for a new hair dryer since my old one, a Fibere by Conair Professional, has started to screech so it's only a matter of time before it completely dies. I was looking for something else because the Fibere (2nd that I've owned) only lasts about a year. The best feature on my old dryer was it had a 10' long power cord. I also like the buttons to be on the side of the handle instead of the front, which appears to be a non-standard feature. I've bought several, including an infrared model that actually took almost 10 minutes longer to dry my fine, straight, shoulder-length hair. This model dries my hair faster than my Conair model and noticeably leaves my hair softer, more manageable and with less frizziness. I admit that I'm impatient and hate to spend a lot of time on my hair so I tend to dry it on the highest setting just so I can get out the door. The only downside to this dryer is the length of the cord. I'm sure most people would find it acceptable, but I wish it was a tad longer. This cord measures 5.5 feet. Literally. I just measured it with a tape measure. (It drives me crazy when someone asks this question and the answer posted will be "I think" or "it's about.")
