I bought this hair dryer about 1 year ago, and I absolutely love it. I have very fine hair which tends to look like dry straw if I use a dryer without the ionic feature. I also have a problem, especially in the winter when the air is dry, of flyaway electric hair. Ever since I started using this conair dryer, my hair has stopped being electric, it takes less than 5 minutes to dry my hair, and the result is shiny, bouncy healthy looking hair. I also like the fact that the heat and the air flow are independently adjustable, so I can have it on full blast with medium heat for my hair, and then reduce the heat, but keep the airflow full when I do my kids hair. The handle folds, so it doesn't take up too much space, and it only weighs 20oz. It has ions, ceramic technology, turbo, 16 heat and flow settings for a full sized dryer, I couldn't wish for anything more...

This is an OUTSTANDING hair dryer. What's not to like?

My wife, who uses two different hair dryers to get the results she wants, is very picky. And one of hers broke, and she gave me a long list of what a replacement had to do. It had to have HOT hot, but adjustable down to cool. Cold shot would be good. It had to BLOW, not just a little. But it had to have gentle setting too. And when all was done, it had to leave her hair soft and silky, but not limp or frizzed. And it has to not be heavy or cumbersome, but it has to last. What is a husband to do? Why is it my job to find the perfect hair dryer? But I did. This one.

This hair dryer does it all. It is quiet but has powerful airflow, but adjusts down to soft zephyr. It has adjustable heat settings from really hot to warm to cool -and cold shot button for good measure. This Ion Shine thing seems to be more than a gimmick, she really likes how it leaves her hair. I tried it too, works for me also. And the handle folds against the body for compact storage. And the back pops open to clean the air filter grid. It is not too heavy, and not fragile either. Solid construction, good looks, should last a long time. Like I said, what's not to like.

Well, the end of the story is that this is now her ONLY hairdryer, and I'm a hero. :)

What's not to like? Why buy anything else? This has it all. It's a winner.

Best Deals on Conair 173X Ion Shine Ceramic Turbo 1875-Watt Hair Dryer

This item is apparently no longer be available on Amazon, however I will give my opinion just in case. Compared to my previous hair dryer--which lasted 18 years (!), this one is very quiet. The controls are straight forward, and the dryer works very well. The plastic out of which it is made appears fragile, but that is just an impression. The fold-down handle is a nice feature for travel or storage in a small drawer. I have no complaints, and therefore recommend this product highly.

Honest reviews on Conair 173X Ion Shine Ceramic Turbo 1875-Watt Hair Dryer

Bought this recently for a relative and used it a few times myself.

It is the best hairdryer I've ever used. That may not be saying too much because admittedly I'm not big into hairstyling, but I've had to buy several new hair dryers (different brands) in the past year for various reasons, and this one was far and away much better than those.

After using it, my hair had no frizz, curled in the direction I wanted it to (by drying it with a round brush) -which never happens with other hairdryers, and it stayed the way I wanted it to all day without the use of styling products.

I don't know if that's down to the ionic part, the ceramic part, or what. I've tried dryers with the ionic feature alone, with the ceramic feature alone, and with both features together before, but they haven't had the results that this one does.

The range of heat settings and airflow settings is great. My hair doesn't do well with dryers that only have high & low, hot & cold. I need medium heat, medium air. This dryer's medium settings are just right. The cold shot is good too.

On the negative side, it's a bit heavy and it's a bit long in the nozzle for me, so that my arm finds it difficult to reach over and dry my hair on the other side of my head without hitting my scalp with it. But most dryers above the purely budget category are this heavy and this big, if not moreso.

I just wish that this brand were sold in the country I currently live in, but it is not (and it's not dual-voltage).

Don't let it put you off that this model is several years old now and isn't in the "hairdryer" bestselling list on Amazon.

This hair dryer isn't top of the line but it is good for what you're paying. My hair dries much more quickly and with less frizz than my old hair dryer, which is great because frizz is a definite problem with me. My hair looks more shiny and beautiful when I use this compared to letting it airdry. It folds up, which is nice, and its lint guard just flips back and is easy to clean. The concentrator attachment it comes with works well for straightening my stubbornly wavy hair.

Just don't forget the turbo setting on the side of the dryer! I almost didn't know it existed until I checked the directions for advice on using the attachment.
