This is an excellent travel dryer both in size and in effectiveness.

I have shoulder-length thick hair and using the hotel dryer would take me 20+ mins just to get my hair to semi-dry (& this was using a super-absorbent hair towel prior to drying).

An effective dryer = high velocity for its size, and this little dryer delivers. This dryer easily out-performs others in the "Compact" range and most definitely in the Mini-range.

Pros:

* High velocity (speed of air) for its size

* 2 settings (high heat/speed:low speed/heat)

* Matt finish: a) enables better grip b) hides fingerprints

* Removable back-grate enabling filter cleaning.

* 6-ft cord

* Small size *almost* falls into "mini" category.

* Lightweight approximately 12oz/350g including concentrator nozzle.

* Does not sound like a lawnmower quiet.

* Dual voltage a true travel dryer.

* 10A surge so can be safely plugged into "Shavers Only" bathroom outlets and safely used with travel adapters without fear of tripping the breaker or burning the adapter.

If you don't need the dual voltage, can spare a few grams and another inch or two in the suitcase, Babyliss' other Compact Travel [single voltage] dryers deliver a higher air volume for even faster drying.

Note that this travel version's model number ends in "T" (for "dual-voltage Travel") and does not have the cool-shot feature that the non-travel/non-dual voltage (and otherwise the same) version has. Additionally, the non-travel version does not have the folding handle.

It is also important to note that the plug for this dryer is the polarized two-prong type that has one prong bigger than the other, so international plug-adapters need to have one slot bigger than the other to fit.

*** There is an older version of this hairdryer that ends in model number -052T and was the previous recalled model for a faulty fan. The issue has been fixed and the new models' numbers ends in -053T. Should you receive the wrong one, the recall is still active and Conair (the parent company of Babyliss) will happily replace.***

Update: May 2012

Cons:

* The dual voltage switch markings can easily rub off and it is important to note that the indicator is not where the screw points (like regular dual voltage appliances) but where the printed arrow would have pointed.

This dryer is teeny tiny and yet blows like a pro. (I have super thick hair too!) I just took it on its first (domestic) trip, and couldn't be happier! I highly recommend it!

I love this small hairdryer. It fits anywhere in your luggage, doesn't take up any space but best of all is the fact it works in the US or Europe. It has a high setting and a low setting so it will be good for any length hair and it will dry the hair fast. Perfect for travel!

Honest reviews on BaByliss Pro BABNT053T Nano Titanium Travel Dryer

I ordered this product thinking it would at least be a small hair dryer since there were no measurements posted. It is 6" from top of dryer to bottom of handle, and 5 inches from front to back (without the additional plastic diffuser). It is exactly what I wanted size wise very easy to handle.

I am using the exact same shampoo, conditioner and mousse as before, but this dryer has given me more volume than I thought possible. It is 1000 watts, which is 200 more than the one I wore out (also a mini) so maybe that is why. I feared it would be too hot since I have fine, thin hair. There is a real difference using this little dryer. It is comfortable to use and the shine on my hair is better.

Now if you use the foam diffuser attachment as I do, you will have to put the plastic diffuser (included) on and then put on the foam one because the foam one will not stay on due to the small size of the dryer nozzle. Not a big deal, thank goodness or I would have had to return it. Be aware, there are few of these types of dryers available in a regular store. I've looked because I wanted to see what I was buying before I got it. Couldn't find anything like this anywhere. All dryers in the stores and beauty supplies are very high heat, like 1600 1875 watts which I did not want.

The heat temperature and air volume would work easily for medium to thick hair, though for very thick hair it probably wouldn't be as quick. For those of us with finer hair, this is perfect.

I totally recommend this dryer to anyone with fine hair and up to medium thickness. I think you would be as tickled with your purchase as I am. Other than the small nozzle opening to attach my foam diffuser to (solved by adding the included plastic diffuser), there is not one thing I can say about this dryer other than PERFECT FOR ME and surprising benefits with more volume to my hair than I thought possible.

After lugging my full-size dryer on a trip this past weekend, I decided it was time to look for a travel dryer again. Found this one here and just received it. What a surprise! It's like a mini version of my full-size dryer, same heat settings and nearly the same blowing power. The product description omits what the instruction guide says, which is that it's 1000 watts. But don't let that fool you. I just returned an 1875-watt Conair model that I purchased at Target; this little BaByliss is far superior. Blows very well and has better heat. Plus, it's tiny! It seemed to me that the little red BaByliss sold here on Amazon is even smaller, maybe too small, so I chose this model. It's still smaller than I expected, but it will work fine. I've had travel dryers before, but never one like this BaByliss. It costs more than many others listed here, but it's well worth it to me if it does a good job on my hair and fits neatly in the suitcase.
