Farouk CHI Pro GF 1505 1300 Watt Ceramic Anion Infared Low EMF Professional Hair Dryer

Comment: I have very thick, unruly hair so when a friend recommended the Farouk CHI, I jumped on it. I loved how quickly it dried my hair and while it wasn't salon quality, my hair was less frizzy. After a few months, I started noticing a burning smell from the unit. The smell became much more noticeable so I decided it was time to call Amazon. After speaking to a representative and then his supervisor, I learned that a) Amazon only covers defects discovered within 30 days and b) the manufacturer's warranty is void if it is not purchased from a salon. Needless to say, I was not pleased. If you're spending money on a hair dryer, it should last but this is not the case. I've discovered that the pricier the hair product, the more complicated the technology and therefore, the likelier it is to break down. If you're going to buy a hair dryer or flat iron, go to Sephora or Nordstrom's - so when it breaks down, you will have recourse. As an aside, Amazon did the right thing and gave me a refund. However, I will be more careful about reading the fine print for future purchases.

Comment: This was a great dryer until it stopped making hot air. To get warranty, it would have been a paid phone call to set up RMA and a $15 fee, plus shipping... went back to my old $15 dryer.

Comment: I have been satisfied with this product. I still have to straighten my hair afterward which I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but it isn't too much of a hassle. It is a quiet blow dryer, dries my hair in about 5 minutes, and is not too heavy. My hair isn't very frizzy after blow drying it which is an improvement from my last dryer.

Comment: I bought this as a random gift for my wife and she loves it.....she says it cuts her hair drying time in half, and it is very quiet so it does not annoy me. 5 stars.

Comment: Only blew out cold air after just two weeks of use. Amazon is replacing for free. I love the way it dries my hair. I have very thick hair and this dryer dries it faster than any hair dryer I've ever used. I'm giving it another chance.

I don't understand how a product that costs this much can have so many issues. My last hair dryer lasted 15 years and probably cost $15.
