After my last soft bonnet dryer broke, I was desperate to find a replacement. This looked great on paper (or should I say screen.) Especially the 800 watts, I haven't really seen any soft bonnets with this much wattage. However, 800 watts means nothing if the heat doesn't reach the front of the cap. Also the cap was flimsy. The lo and high settings dispersed the exact same amount of air. And the "convenient" travel case meant the dryer was a pain to assemble. Needless to say I immediately returned it.

This dryer is generally unsatisfactory---barely meeting any minimum standard of adequacy, however, because there are so very few bonnet or hood models on the market, I feel forced to make do with it. The minimum standard it meets is that it has a nice large, adjustable bonnet and it does dry my hair (although so would mere air if my life required nothing more of me than drying my hair, or as would a blowtorch if I were rather rushed and anticipated no future need for hair or eyebrows) as long as I re-position the hose every 15-20 minutes or so to ensure heat eventually reaches all four quadrants of my head. And speaking of blowtorches, this thing is a real fire-breather,---and that's on the inappropriately-labeled "low" setting. I don't dare try , or need, the "high" setting, except, perhaps, if I decide to multi-task it as an iron for my 100% cottons. Make sure to have a towel draped over your ears, arms and shoulders if your upcoming schedule does not include being airlifted to a hospital burn unit. Further, there is a warning in the user's guide not to sleep during the dryer's operation. I take it that heads-up was a sarcastic inside joke on the part of a disgruntled Revlon technical writer for this product as any normal person would most certainly find it impossible to enter REM sleep sitting beside an aircraft carrier preparing for take-off. I suggest you have ibuprofen at the ready following each drying session to relieve the headache you're likely to experience. Finally, the connector on the hose leading from the motor is extremely fussy when trying to get and keep it connected to the bonnet, and the hose itself is so inconveniently short that it just barely avoids requiring you sit with it on your lap during operation. That said, enjoy!Best Deals on Revlon Amber Waves RV671AW Professional Ionic Soft Bonnet Dryer
I ordered the Revlon Amber Waves RV671AW ionic soft bonnet dryer to replace a hard bonnet ionic dryer that dried my hair in 30 minutes. I wanted something smaller and more comfortable. I followed the instructions for expanding the bonnet, I moved the bonnet to four different positions on my head and after an hour, the crown of my head still wasn't dry as the crown of the bonnet never allowed any air even with additional attempts to expand it. The hair that was dry wasn't as silky as I've experienced with other products. Yes, the temperature can be hot, as described in other reviews, but it can be adjusted which I do over the course of each drying with all types of ionic dryers except handheld. Amazon was wonderful handling the refund!!!Honest reviews on Revlon Amber Waves RV671AW Professional Ionic Soft Bonnet Dryer
The Revlon Amber Waves RV571AW dryer was an excellent purchase. Not only is this dryer convenient,light weight it is also very powerful. With my old hair dryer, it took at least one hour to dry my hair. The Revlon Amber Waves dryer cut the dry time almost in half.This was a very good price for the value. Amazon eleminated going to discount stores for this purchase. It was simply the best.

I have been searching high and low for a decent hair dryer and was hoping this would be it, but I'm so disappointed. The dryer gets way too hot, even on low. The next setting is cool, but that's not warm enough to dry my hair. I have to keep going up and down on the dial that I'm afraid will evenutally break from all the adjustments. I also don't like the fact that I have to keep adjusting the bonnet so that certain areas can get dry. Drying hair should not be this complicated!!I am probbly going to keep this dryer for the simple fact that I need one. If anybody out there knows where I can purchase a Carel (not the new ionic one, it also gets too hot) hair dryer please let me know. I've looked everywhere.
***UPDATE*** I am not keeping this dryer. In fact, I boxed it up today and off to the UPS store I went! I will never be satisfied with this dryer, so why keep it? My fragile hair and skin just can't tolerate the heat this thing puts out.
