I absolutely love this product. I had one before, but unfortunately I dropped it and broke it beyond repair. This hairdryer dries quickly and actually makes your hair shine. Used with the FHI Runway flat iron, my hair is always shiny, and I'm well over 40!

Following first use I was inclined to return this. It is quite heavy, and it only has high and low speed settings. As with other high wattage dryers that have only high and low speed settings, the high is too high and the low is too low to be useful. It really needs an in-between speed. The other thing that really bugged me is the cold shot. All other blow dryers I have used have a cold shot that you hold down and release when you are done. This one is a toggle button. Push it once and it is cold, push again and it is hot. There is no indication of whether it is on hot or cold. You have to recognize the motor sound or apply it to your skin for a few seconds to know what mode it's in. I wish there was a light or a switch so that you knew what mode it was in. However, after using this for a couple months, I am liking it more.

Among the things I really like are that it seems to be really well built, heavy duty cord, nice switches which don't accidentally turn off when you touch them, it has a strong motor, gets really hot, and it really dries fast. Faster than any other blow dryer I have tried and I have tried other high end ceramic dryers. The high speed takes some getting used to for styling, but once you have it, it is really quick. Also, probably the most amazing feature is this rubber bumper on the side so when you lay down the blow dryer, it is cushoned and it doesn't blow itself away. What a great feature! All blow dryers should have this!! Also, a very easy to change filter, just twist and it falls open. No popping it off. Although I would say that it was difficult to figure out what to do here and I tried popping it off and almost broke it before I figured it out.

Although I like it and am keeping it, I am giving this a 3 because of the usability things I mentioned above. Also there is no cable management and the cable is pretty long I had expected a velcro strap at least. Another ceramic blow dryer (Bespoke T3) product I used left my hair softer and shinier. This one dries quicker, and seems much better built, but I don't see the effect of the ionic and tourmaline as much as with the other product. So this is a definite trade off. But the Bespoke model consistently broke down after a year and I am hopeful this one will last.

I did love this dryer, but I have only had it for 4 months and the other night I went to dry my hair and it started smoking and smelled like the wires were burning. I had to shut it off before it caught fire. I am hoping for that amount of money that I will be able to get a refund or a new dryer that will hopefully last longer than 4 months! I'm still waiting to hear back from Hair Products which is the company that it actually came from.

Honest reviews on Fhi Heat Eps2100l Elite Professional Series Professional Hair Dryer

I had and FHI before for many years and it finally died. I replaced it with a less expensive hair dryer from Hot Tools which was very disappointing after using and FHI for so many years. I'm so glad to have an FHI back. It really does make a difference in the drying time, and also the texture of your hair after you blow dry it. I love the features! Like another reviewer, I like the fact that there are rubber knobs on each side, so when you place it on your bathroom vanity while its running, it does not blow itself off onto the floor. Additionally, the cord it very long and does not tangle easily. Furthermore, unlike another reviewer, I actually like the fact that the cold button stays down until you press it again to release it. I don't like hair dryers that have a button that you must hold with your thumb to either keep the dryer going, or else to keep the cold air coming out. I can't think of anything I would like to improve on this dryer. It was just a little heavier than I expected, but I think that's because the motor is so powerful in this dryer. It's no bother. I would highly recommend this dryer to anyone that would like professional results! Some of the other reviewers said it gets too hot and that's true. That is exactly what I like about this hair dryer. You can achieve a sleek salon blow out. If you have damaged hair, you should not let it rest too long on your hair as you dry it, keep it moving or you will fry your hair.

I'm a professional hairstylist and I love this blow dryer! Not sure I would recommend it to the average person for everyday use though, too hot (unless you have coarse thick frizzy hair). But for me it's one if not THE BEST one out there!
