Centrix Q Zone Quiet 1500 Watt Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer

After returning my second blow dryer to Target, I went on a short quest to find a quiet (or at least relatively so) blow dryer. Thanks to the amazon reviews here, I found it. The Centrix Q is MUCH quieter and the sound of the dryer doesn't have that high pitched frequency of the cheaper ones. It has a lower pitch in tone, in its sound, which I really prefer. On the slow speed, it is very quiet. On the higher speed, it is relatively noisier, but not bad at all. It also dries very quickly on the higher speed - so I can dry my short hair in about 4 minutes. Finally, the weight of the dryer is light. I also like how they distributed the weight; it makes it very easy to handle. LOVE this dryer! It was worth every penny! Note to others - if you search for this dryer on youtube - you can hear its sound in some of the reviews. I found that very helpful as well.

I am somewhat disappointed in the amount of noise the hair dryer makes. While it is slightly less noisy than a regular dryer, it is not as quiet as I (or my husband) had hoped. It does lack that high pitch squeal often associated with dryers and emits a deep, less irritating humming sound! (I hope the description is helpful for those seeking peace and quiet)It does definitely dry hair faster.

Hair dryer lasted less then 2 years. For the price, I would expect it to last longer. I contacted the manufacturer, and never encountered such a rude customer service rep. I was told that these hair dryers can't be repaired and if not happy with the product don't buy it any more. I definitely will look for a different brand.
