I ordered this hair dryer for my mom, who has extremely thick hair. She is always complaining about how long it takes her to dry her hair, so I figured this one was worth a shot because of the brand and the low price. After my mother used it the first time, she called me and raved about how wonderful it was. She said it only too her 10 minutes to dry her hair, which normally would take her about 40-50 minutes to dry with her Revlon hair dryer. She said it left her hair silky and smooth for days. I don't think she will ever get another brand of hair tools because this dryer works so well on her crazy hair.

I previously owned the larger professional Chi dryer (red with diffuser attachment). That one was over $140 and lasted a long time but when it quit, I was looking for a cheaper alternative. The ion setting is awesome and in some ways dries curly or course hair better than the more expensive one, but I do miss how quiet the other model was. But for price this was a great investment.
