T3 Pro.Dryer 83971 Tourmaline Ionic 1800 Watt Hair Dryer

The past few months I have been debating on whether or not to purchase a T3 Hairdryer. The cost was a little much for me since I had always spent 20 dollars on my wonderful ConAir Dryers! I'd been waffling back and forth and then yesterday, when I was in TJ Maxx, I found this exact one for 49.99! I scooped it up faster than a fat kid running for ice cream! This morning I began to wonder if I should return it or not - I mean my ConAir works fine! I started looking up reviews online and it brought me to this site. I was flabbergasted at the negative reviews this dryer had received! I started searching for the receipt so I could return the product.... then I realized, I threw it in the trash yesterday and had already asked my boyfriend take the trash to the dumpster - which he did! So here I am thinking I'm out 49.99 + tax and I decide, "Hey, what's the harm in at least trying this?" That was 20 minutes ago! At this point all I can say is WOW! My hair, which is WAY too long...Read more

I received my T3 as a gift in 2009. Most of my hair dryers have been by Conair and cost around $25, so I was flabbergasted when I saw this one at a store for $125! When I first received it, I didn't like it because it doesn't dry as quickly as my Conair, and yes, the concentrator keeps falling off. I didn't return it because my friend didn't keep the receipt and I had thrown away the box, though I wish I had tried. A few months ago I was using it and suddenly I heard a loud noise, it started shaking and I smelled smoke, then it exploded. It scared me to death and I unplugged it right away. I wish I had tried to take it back then, but I didn't think I'd be able to return it. Basically it lasted less than a year, and my old Conair that I bought for $19.99 is still plugging away after 7 years. Don't buy this dryer!

I wonder if anyone has been seriously injured by one of these little pink demons. My wife bought one this model a few years ago on a trip to New York so she could dry her hair in the hotel. This morning I was listening to music and over that I heard her scream and an angry buzzing sound, followed by a loud grinding sound. She called for me to come into the bathroom as she couldn't turn it off and had to hold the little monster with both hands, as it was vibrating violently. I pulled the plug, but am sure that if it had been on for any longer it would have exploded as some others have. If we could give it a negative 10 stars we would. BEWARE! BEWARE!
