It generates ions that work on hair molecules to help dry them inside and out. These ions smooth the cuticle layer of your hair creating a silky, shiny look. This drying process is gentle and quick; it minimizes heat damage and makes hair less frizzy and more manageable. The high-torque motor in this dryer speeds up the velocity with which the air moves through the dryer and into your hair. The faster the air gets into your hair, the faster you can get done drying and styling. How Ionic Technology Works Clouds of negatively-charged ions neutralize positive charges in the air and reduce the static electricity that causes fly-away frizzies and dulls hair. Hair becomes shinier and more manageable.

Comment: I got this as a second hair-dryer for traveling and to leave at my boyfriend's house so I didn't have to lug my Conair 213X Infiniti Pro (about $40, and much heavier than this one) back and forth every weekend. This was a great choice. The dryer is much much lighter than what I'm used to and has a nice smooth feel (as in, it doesn't feel light plastic under my hands, but more of a rubbery-feel - very pleasant!). It is also just as powerful as the 213x. It has 2 speeds (gale-force wind and normal), and 3 heat settings. I use the gale-force winds on medium heat and my hair 4-5" below my shoulder, thin-medium thickness, is dry in under 3 minutes. My younger sister tried it out and put it on gale-force high heat and she said it didn't stay on for more than a few seconds. My thoughts are it could have been my outlet (I live in a very old apartment building - circa 1900s) unable to handle the current flow OR it could have been a safety feature of the hair dryer to prevent over-heating. Either way its not a problem for me since high heat hurts my head and ears and makes me feel as if I'm destroying my hair! All-in-all its a great value for the price.

Comment: This is a great hairdryer for the price. Dries my hair quickly, is lighweight, and easy to use. I bought two - one for my wife and one for me. She likes it as much as I do. Great purchase!

Comment: The dryer is heavier than expected, and for the wattage, it puts out less air than it should.
