Inifiniti by Conair 228 Nano Silver Tourmaline Ceramic Styler, White

This dryer is wonderful. It cuts my drying time in half and leaves my hair shiny. The hot setting is hot! It has a low and high setting. WIsh it had a medium, but other than that, it's great!

I wanted to buy a good dryer under $35.00, and all reviews pointed that a Conair dryer is a great choice.

The problem? The first two that I had died after a little more than a year of use. One day I'll be drying my hair and BAM!

I clean the lint trap, treat it with care, don't leave it plugged in, never drop it, etc. These beasts keep dying on me, and I keep buying them.

I recommend it, but buyer beware: It will probably crap out on you after a year.

UPDATE July 2010: I bought my third dryer Jan. 10, 2010, and it died yesterday: July 17, 2010. Started smoking and smelling like fire, and the motor stopped...Read more
