Cheap HOT TOOLS HT7000Q Whisper Quiet Ionic Dryer, Black/Silver

Customer Ratings:

This hair dryer has all the features I was looking for.

Pros: It really is very lightweight and quiet; It gets very hot (necessary for my hair); There are two speeds and two heat settings; The cool button stays down when you press it. (Although I didn't realize that this would be an advantage, it is a lot easier to set in a style when you don't have to hold down the cool button.)

Cons: It's a little hard to work the buttons because they are on the back of the handle. I'm used to controling them with my finger tips. I'm getting used to using my other hand to push the buttons. Also, I wish it were a little smaller to carry on trips, but the light weight makes up for this.

Update: June, 2012: Hairdryer stopped working after a few months. I contacted the company, but did not hear back. Too bad. It was a very nice dryer.

While this is an excellent, well-known and trusted brand, this dryer was a huge disappointment for me. I own other Hot Tools hair products and love them, so when I needed a replacement for my Chi blowe dryer, I went with this Hot Tools Professional dryer. The "multiple heat/speed settings" consist of high or low. Even the "high" temp and speed is extremely slow. I have fine hair, and it took forever to dry my hair. The locking cool shot is nice, but how long do most people need the cool shot? The concentrator is not adjustable to different angles. It locks in place, and there's no adjusting it to a different angle. I found the controls on the back of the handle to be awkward, too. I cannot figure how they advertise right on the box that this dryer "reduces drying time up to 50%." It added at least 50% to my drying time. I guess the 50% depends on what you are comparing it to as far as drying time and/or brand. It is a fairly quiet dryer, so if that is your only criteria, it might work for you. I have gone back to a Chi; once again, it did not disappoint.

Best Deals on HOT TOOLS HT7000Q Whisper Quiet Ionic Dryer, Black/Silver

This unit is much quieter than any other dryer I have heard. I think the reason is that the fan inside turns slower and does not produce the bothersome high pitch whine noise. That alone is worth the price of the unit, but it is also well built and I think it will last a long time. Works great.

Honest reviews on HOT TOOLS HT7000Q Whisper Quiet Ionic Dryer, Black/Silver

I bought this because I wanted a quiet hair dryer and the reviews were really good. This dryer is definitely quiet but how could it not be with the little bit of air it blows. I had really wanted the Rusk Speed Freak because I'd used it and loved it, but the price was just too much for me. So I bought this one and am ok with it, but not thrilled. I also don't like where the controls are located. My hand accidentally turns them off at least once each time I'm using it.
