Reviews of Bio Ionic iDry Travel Pro Dryer

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this dryer for a coast-to-coast trip I have planned in the future. I haven't had much success with hotel dryers, and I hate taking up space and weight on a flight with a full-sized dryer, so I purchased this based on two outstanding reviews and the fact that I already own the Bio Ionic full-sized dryer. Although the image on Amazon is white, the one I received is matte black. I have only used the dryer once, but I am giving it 5 stars based on the information available to me at this time. The dryer is extremely light weight it weighed in on my digital postal scale at just 17.4 oz. The size is approximately 8" from back of dryer to front end of barrel, including the concentrator attachment. The height is also approximately 8", and the cord is 5-1/2 feet long.

The switch to change from 240v to 120v is actually a screw, likely requiring a screwdriver, so if you are traveling to a country requiring the 240v, you will want to change it before you leave. (And of course don't forget to change it back immediately upon your return so you don't damage the dryer.)

The dryer folds compactly with a twist of the handle, and it unfolds just as easily. The settings are high, low and off, and it is controlled by a slide switch. I am right handed, but I hold the dryer in my left hand. I could slide the switch from off, up two positions, to high with my left thumb, but I needed to turn it off with my stronger right hand, as it is a bit stiff. I assume it will loosen up over time.

The dryer is only 1200 watts, and I have thick wavy hair, but it dried my hair in about the same time as my full-sized dryer. My hair was left smooth with minimal waving. Although the full sized Bio Ionic dryer allows you to unscrew the threaded dust/lint screen on the back for cleaning, I cannot see any way to do that with this unit. All things considered, I am looking forward to using this dryer while traveling. I will upload some photos as well.

Update 8/16/13

I'm taking away one star, as the switch is still annoying me. It is a slide with little to grip, and although I can turn it on with one hand, I have to use to hands to turn it off since the slide is so stiff.

Owned one previously for about 8 years...LOVED it! Bought it from my hairdresser...it was powerful, yet lightweight. Did not burn or scorch my hair like other hairdryers. Even if my old one did not completely "die", I thought it was time to get a new one. It wasn't as hot and one of the settings did not work...

I did a search for the same make and model...was VERY happy to find that it was still available! The process to purchase was very easy and it came with about 5-7 days. AWESOME hairdryer...cuts drying time in half. Just as good or better than my old one...=)

I am a very happy camper...=)
