I bought this at the end of March and it burned out yesterday. I do not use it everyday, only a few times a week.I was drying my hair, and then I smelled a burning smell, and it stopped working. It will not turn back on again. It lasted less than 3 months. Very expensive for an appliance that only lasts a couple of months!

Bought this to replace a more expensive hair dryer that did not last more than one year. Although it does work well, it takes longer than expected to dry my hair. High wattage, but not a lot of output. Hair is shiny and soft when done, but 2 negatives about this dryer... 1) power cord about 6-12" too short for my bathroom use; and 2) this dryer is not weighted properly. The drying nozzle is too long and heavy for the size of the handle. If you can feel it before buying you might change your mind. It is still a pretty decent dryer, but I am not sure I would have bought it having held it in my hands. Bought it based on other reviews.

This dryer is HEAVY, hard to turn on/off--I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's true-- does absolutely NOTHING to reduce frizz, and doesn't seem to blow very hard or have much heat. Used it twice and am now shopping again for a new one.

I received this for Christmas of 2007. It is still working like new for me 2 1/2 years later. This blow dryer is powerful and does a good job drying my thick hair. I use it on the medium heat setting and that is plenty of heat to get my hair dry without feeling like my head is burning. The cool option works well also.

The blow dryer is heavier than most other hair dryers I have used, but I have gotten used to it now and I don't mind it.

I did have a scare with this dryer about a year after I got it. It kept turning off on me and I thought it was a goner. However, I pulled off the lint trap on the back of the dryer and cleaned out all of the lint and fuzz then put the screen back on. After that it worked like a charm. I have never had any other issues with it.

This hairdryer is a great find. It's reasonably priced, quiet, gentle and has more than adequate power for the thickest head of hair. I like that its "hot" button is less hot than previous dryers I've owned. It's time we stopped burning up our hair and scalp with "hot" settings that are not healthy for the hair or scalp. My husband loves this dryer. It has the gentle feature of not blowing hair all over the place and has 2 attachments for personal preference. For me, if I were to list one drawback, it's larger and heavier than my previous dryer. I was use to a more compact dryer made by this manufacturer, that also had a "fold up" feature. However, that "fold up" feature broke as did the plastic on the outside casing. I am happy I made this purchase.
