This review is from: Conair Ionic Conditioning Pro Style 1875-Watt Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty) This is my only experience with an ionic hair dryer, so I have nothing with which to compare this one. However, I bought it because I had several expections about its features. Here is how each feature measured up:Quicker? NO. It may even take a little longer than a standard 1875-watt dryer. The reason is that the fan does not blow very hard. The "high" setting blows about like the "low" setting on a standard dryer. Reduced frizz/flyaways/static? YES. These are significantly reduced. Increased shine? YES. My hair is visibly shinier. Quieter? YES, but qualified. The only reason it is quieter is because it doesn't blow air as hard as a regular dryer. Freshens hair? YES. Another drawback: This dryer is very heavy. It took me several days to get used to how heavy it is. This dryer delivers almost all of what ionic hairdryers promise, but I was mostly hoping for a dryer to speed drying time. If you have thin hair or hair that dries quickly or have plenty of...Read more 130 of 132 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Conair Ionic Conditioning Pro Style 1875-Watt Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty) As a child of the Sixties, I still wear my hair long and I blow it dry every morning. When my old Hartman Protech 1600 hair dryer hit the bathroom floor, things weren't the same. Eventually, in a spectacular pyrotechnic display, it breathed its last. Since I had paid 20 bucks for it way back when, I was ready to spend that much on a replacement. Much to my surprise, in the 10 or so years I'd owned that dryer, a lot had changed, and now the same money buys a lot more hair dryer, so with some dough to spare, I bought one of these. Many complain that it doesn't pack the same wallop as other dryers but that's a case of perception versus reality. The Conair's barrel has a larger diameter than most dryers and its fan is quieter, so while the perceptible breeze isn't as blustery, it's still moving plenty of air. I know because I use an egg timer to count off 3 minutes while I dry my hair and the Conair never leaves my hair damp (a barber told me that after 3 minutes of blow drying,...Read more 46 of 47 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Conair Ionic Conditioning Pro Style 1875-Watt Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty) I wrote this review 3 years ago. 3/2006 and this dryer is still going strong.
This dryer is definitely quieter than most. I purchased it after I dropped my previous Quiet dryer from Conair and the clip that holds on the diffuser broke. No diffuser makes a dryer useless to me. I had to use my back-up dryer (not a Conair, the one time I strayed) for a few days. I could hear the difference when I got this new Conair. It's much quieter and was significantly lighter. I'm not very impressed with the IONIC portion of it, hence the 4 stars. The diffuser is nice and big. It attaches solidly (without clips that can break) and really stays on there. The hanging loop is a big plus too. I will never buy another dryer without one again. I like Conair because they stand the test of time. I've never burnt one out. I need a hair dryer that can take a lot of abuse and Conair's have always been able to do that. I'd like to point out also that I have never tripped a circuit...Read more |
