I had the perfect blowdryer... that was until I moved. Nonetheless, I was pretty worried about getting a new one. I have been through a fair share of terrible no good hair dryers. Looove this one! It's lightweight, only 1.7 lbs compared to some that are 2.5 or even 3! I like that it has a retractable cord, which will make for easier traveling. That goes for the folding handle as well. The HIGH is actually really high powered, I was surprised. And the settings are perfect, in my opinion; the warm isn't too hot (like some I've experienced).

Not too much I can say about this little gem. I purchased it mainly because of the good reviews, and the fact that it came with a diffuser for my very curly hair. It's inexpensive, but I'd bet it would hold up to any of the much pricier dryers. Don't hesitate to get this one.

I cannot fault this product on the way it functions. Plenty of air, choice of temps and the retractable cord works well, once you get the knack of it.( You have to hold down a button, pull the cord, then guide it back in while still holding the button down) However, it is much bulkier than I expected, and a bit on the heavy side.I was attracted to this item by the cord feature as I thought it would fit more neatly into one of my vanity drawers or a suitcase. But, it is too bulky,even with the handle folded, so has to go in the linen closet.Also, the location of the controls are such that I have to stop the hair drying to change a setting, as this requires both hands.Because of the weight and bulk, I find it very awkward to brush my hair while holding the dryer. It does do a good and quick job of drying and, hopefully, I will get more comfortable with it, in time.

Honest reviews on Conair 260PX Folding Handle Hair Dryer

I was very shocked at how big this dryer is given that it's designed to be a travel dryer. It's the same size as a regular dryer (on the larger side). The retractable cord mechanism seems a bit flimsy as it was not rewinding very strongly even after a few use. The button to push the cord back also seems difficult to push. I had to push a few times to the cord back in. When I sit on my bed to dry my hair with it with the outlet just below my bed, the cord seem a bit short and I had to tuck at the extension cord a little. I guess that's the tradeoff for having the retractable cord. Overall, the design is very clumsy and not slim as it should be for traveling. However, I do like that it has 3 heat settings, 2 blower speed, and it's ionic.

I was looking for an ionic dryer that would eliminate frizz. I also wanted one that featured a cool shot button. What sold me was that in adition to my "musts," it folds for easy storage. Oh but the fact that it has a retractable cord makes it even better.

What I was NOT expecting and which made me a happy camper was the versatility of the settings. According to the product description, it has 3 heat/2 speed settings. For a newbie like me, that was a bit vague pardon my ignorance. But it turns out it has the "low/off/high" speed switch on one side, and on the other side you can adjust to "cool/warm/hot." That's in addition to the cool shot button!

As if that's not enough, the package includes a chart that I find to be very helpful for selecting the speed/temp according to hair type:

LOW/COOL Delicate, thin, easy to style hair

LOW/WARM Average-to-thick or treated hair

HIGH/HOT Thick, coarse or hard-to-style hair

The hot temp works fine with me, and my hair falls into the "average-to-thick" category. It took less than 2 minutes to dry my shoulder-length hair, with about half the time having it on low/warm and the other half on high/hot. And it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be!

One down side (the only one I can find) is that it's a bit bulky and on the heavy side. If that's not an issue, I would recommend this product, since it's the best one I could find at such a great price.

So many features for a reasonable price, you can't beat that. You won't be disappointed!
