Because it's awesome, that's why. I have wavy/curly hair that's fine (not thin), and the diffuser is the best I've ever used. And I've used other ceramic dryers, but none make my hair look as good as this one does.
The problem? The first two that I had died after a little more than a year of use. One day I'll be drying my hair and BAM! I'll hear a clinking noise from the inside and then smell that familiar burning smell. And it's toast. I clean the lint trap, treat it with care, don't leave it plugged in, never drop it, etc. These beasts keep dying on me, and I keep buying them.
I recommend it, but buyer beware: It will probably crap out on you after a year.
UPDATE July 2010: I bought my third dryer Jan. 10, 2010, and it died yesterday: July 17, 2010. Started smoking and smelling like fire, and the motor stopped working. This one didn't even last a year. It's really frustrated since the diffuser that comes with it works better than any diffuser I've ever had. I wish I could find a different dryer and stick the Nano's diffuser on there.
If I could change the stars on my original review I'd knock it down to 1 star because honestly, even if it's the best dryer on the planet if it only lasts 7 months to a year what good is it?
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2011: After going through six of these dryers with the last two lasting less than four months, I'm done. It's a shame because they works so wonderfully with my hair, but there's no way that a hair dryer that's used less than 10 minutes a day should only last a couple of months. I ended up buying a Remington with a similar diffuser and it works great.

I wanted to buy a good dryer under $35.00, and all reviews pointed that a Conair dryer is a great choice. Before purchasing this hair dryer, I also researched and compared the following dryers: Conair 213X Infiniti Professional Tourmaline Ceramic Technology Ionic Styler, Black and Infiniti by Conair 223F Cord Reel Dryer. I decided to buy this one because it had an addition of a new technology called "Nano Technology" which the other two didn't have. Here is all you need to know about this dryer:(1) Fair price, considering its function
(2) Don't expect too much from the accessories that come along with the dryer
(3) Light weight and professional look
(4) It has cool/warm/hot heat + low/high speed + cool shot functions: (a) cool is not really cool, and hot is a bit too hot (b) high speed is really loud! (c) "cool shot" button helps when you are drying your hair and you get too hot
(5) Quiet, but not so much (if you're using "high" speed, it gets really loud!)
(6) The time to dry your hair doesn't get short (I used a $11.00 hair dryer before this one, and the time I spend to dry my hair is the same)
(7) My hair looks the same, not shinier or smoother as advertised
All in all, I am satisfied with this one, but I think Conair 213X might have been a better choice.
