Sunbeam 1500 Watt Wall Mount Hairdryer with Nightlight, Clock & Retractable Cord Model 1629-020

I bought this Hair Dryer about 7 months ago. I think it the best that amazon has. It was easy to install and it compact. The retract cord and night light which I dont use is nice, but I like the LCD clock on it and it keep pretty good time. As for the dryer part it great, I have had zero issue with it for now. Now for the bad part, after about of 7 months of use. My hair dryer quit working. Then the next day it came back on. The problem I found it is the rectracting of the cord. You push the two bottom buttons at the same time and the cord retracts, now that is a plus but over time like 7 months of use, the rubber ball which slams under the dryer unit to retrack the cord. The rubber ball, stop the power cord from rectracting anymore. This created short and over time it was not getting power to the hand dryer. I am comptuer and electronic savy, so I just spliced out the short part of the power cord, got creative and solder the new piece of the power cord to the circuit board. Renforced...Read more

When i first bought the product-I received a used/broken one and it took me a while to get it replaced but once i got it replaced-I love it.. Do have to say that the extra features (light)and clock are not used. I would buy the cheaper version of this dryer-plus I think if felt the smaller version stronger-but... I love the fact that you put it on the wall and the retractable cord (love it).. as i said-would buy smaller version (no need for extra gimmicks).

I have had this product for about 4 weeks now and I am very satisfied. It mounted very easily on the wall using a level to mark the screw holes. There is not much difference between high and medium, but that is inconsequential to me. It looks very neat on the wall. The night light is unnecessary for me, but could be for others. I thought the clock would be very unnecessary, but I find myself looking over at it most every time I use the sink. Based on what I read from others, I always hold the cord when I push the recoil button and let the cord in slowly and keep it from twisting. A minor effort , but I recommend that to protect the rewind mechanism. Having the cord neatly stowed away is worth it.
