Farouk CHI Professional 1300-watt Low EMF Plastic & Ceramic Hair Dryer

I saw these hair dryers in the store a while ago, and thought it was nuts to spend close to a hundred dollars on a hair dryer. There was nothing wrong with my $30 model; my hair dried just fine. This hairdryer, though, works so much better!
