It's a little bigger than I expected and the switches to change the heat settings and strength of the blower are pretty stiff (especially the dial that's used to change the level of ions released). Furthermore, the so-called "Easy-Press Cold Shot" button is definitely NOT easy to press nor is it conveniently placed. Overall, it really only deserves 3 1/2 stars but since that wasn't an option, I gave it 4 because, again, it's a good product. With just a few tweaks in the quality control department, this hair dryer would easily be worth 5 stars.

I was pretty excited to try an ION hairdryer. I got this one because I liked the idea of being able to 'control' the amount of ions coming out.My hair DID seem a little shinier after using it (the only reason I gave it two stars and not one) but my hair felt a little drier. Almost straw-ish...it never felt like that with my old drier.
Also the buttons really are hard to switch...all of them! I read another review that said that and I thought well how bad can it be? I dry my hair with a round brush in my right hand and the dryer in the left. I turn the dryer on and off during different times while I am doing my hair. With this dryer I could NOT turn the on/off switch with my left hand. I had to put down my brush and use both hands. I could not believe how hard it was to switch! This was the main deciding factor in returning the dryer, it was SO frustrating not to be able to switch it easily with a flick of your thumb. Not to mention made me feel like a big wussy!!!
The speed setting only has two settings, low and high. The low setting was way too low and the high setting was way too high. A middle ground would have been nice.
Lastly, the dryer smelled a little weird. Granted, I only had it two days before I returned it, so the smell might eventually disappear. But it wasn't your normal 'new hairdryer, hot plastic' smell. It was almost a slight mildew smell. Yuk.
So, I would NOT recommend getting it. I exchanged it for the Vidal Sassoon ion sensor dryer. That seems to be working better. The low speed setting is perfect. The smell is normal 'new dryer' smell so far. The buttons are EASY to push!!!! The sensor (it automatically turns off when you pur it down) is a little off, it takes a while to turn off. But all in all I like it. And it also DOES make my hair shiny and DOES NOT make it feel drier or like straw!

I admit it, I got this because it was cheap! I have thick, wavy hair which needs to be straightend and because I use a very very good set of ceramic straighteners, the hair dryer didn't matter much.However, the first time I used it I was shocked at how straight and silky my hair felt! Combined with the straighteners my hair looks awesome!
I noticed some people commenting on the dryer cutting out after a week or so. This happened to me too and I too thought it was bust. However, I checked the plug and it is one of those that needs to be tested before the applicance works you know the little red button on the plug for safety? It is not just a cut out plug but one that needs doing each time and it took a few minutes to figure it out because in England (where I am from) we don't have these much. All I do now is press the white button in before I plug it in and it works a charm.
The three heat settings and ioniser settings are great it really makes a difference when the ioniser is on not another gimick at all as I suspected (like I said, I got it because it was cheap!).
It is well worth the money and a great buy! If you have thick hair which is hard to keep tamed, this really helps before the rest of the regime!

This hair dryer did dry my hair quickly. BUT, it quit working after a month. I exchanged it for another just like it and the same thing happened a few weeks later.The buttons were also hard to switch. This was a waste of money. I ended up buying a completely different hair dryer.
