Customer Reviews of Andis 40055 Pro Style 1600 Hair Dryer
Customer Review: from a cosmotoligists point of view
Summary: 4 Stars
I am tired of paying 85 dollars and up for a "professional" hairdryer that never seems to last more than 9 mos, is heavy with a bulky desighn and never fails to trip my breaker(usually more than once) while blow drying a client.(p.s, stay away from hot tools, ive had 3 of them in 2 &1/2 years)the shipping was FAST, and although the dryer itself is of a smaller scale,it has more blowing power than I expected for its small size, its nice and light and easy to handle, it has yet to trip my breaker at work, its perfect for young girls who are just learning to manuver a blowdryer,and of course, the price is gReat, at this rate I could go through 3 a year and not spend what I normally would on is that the cord is short, its just a touch noisier than I would prefer, and I have dropped it once and the seam eria where the blowdryer is put together has come apart a little, BUT ITS STILL RUNNING!! THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE MONEY, i WOULD BUY AGAIN!Customer Review: Still excellent after years of use

This is an excellent dryer! It is dependable and delivers the temperatures I expect, but the main reason I chose this model is that the classic squirrel-cage blower produces great air flow. I was never satisfied with the wimpy blowers on most of the other styles.
I bought two of these from Amazon a few years ago. Two, because I thought such an inexpensive dryer might not last long very long and buying the pair was a better bargain because the order qualified for free shipping. The second one is still in the box awaiting its turn; the first one hasn't failed yet.
I see several comments here about travel. While this dryer is more compact than many of the bulky styling dryers, it is neither dual voltage (switchable) nor universal voltage (auto-converting), so pack a converter if you carry it overseas. I use a smaller, folding, dual-voltage model for travel (then find that all the hotels have built-ins anyway).
Customer Review: Worth it..

I have been using this product for nearly a month now. From a guy perspective I think this product is really great. I use this product since my hair is quite long and for some personal reason I don't like to dry my hair using my towel. Anyway, the best thing about this hair dryer is that it dries my hair really fast and also produce low noise. Well, if you use the high air mode, the noise is quite loud but much tolerable than other products I have used. Basically I just used the low air mode since the noise is low and it isn't too hot.
Furthermore, when you first use this product, it will have a burning metal smell (like soldering smell). However, after 3-4 times of use the smell will be gone. The smell won't stick on your hair though, so it isn't a big deal. This hair dryer is light which I think is a plus.
Customer Review: Light, Compact Dryer with High Velocity Output
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this hair dryer after using the same model at a hotel recently. What I like best about this dryer is that it puts out a high volume of air, not just super hot air. This unit uses the 'old school' style of blower like the dryers of the 1970s and 80s. I'd forgotten how much more air this kind of dryer puts out and it seems that the higher velocity of air dries my hair much faster than the more modern style of high heat / low velocity dryers commonly found now. It's also nice to have the option of controlling both the blower speed and heat level. The dryer is very light weight and easy to handle and control. My chief complaint is that the unit I received seems to have considerably more vibration transferred to the hand than the unit I used at the hotel. Overall, I am pleased with the product.Customer Review: Just what I've been trying to find!

I have a very old Conair Prostyle 1600 - my favorite hand held dryer, and after over 10 years, it's been on its way out. I've tryed various dryers, but none of them have the great feel of my old Conair. I just recently ordered the Conair Yellowbird 1875...thought it would be great - looked just like my old one, only yellow. I tried it once and sent it back. It was too heavy..unlike the Conair 1600, which was oh so light...and surprisingly didn't have the blow power I expected. So I read one review on the Andis Pro Style 1600 and it sounded good. I tried it this morning and it's perfect - very light...and so small, I couldn't believe it. I travel on business and have not found a travel dryer I'm happy with, so I'm going to order another of these for a travel dryer.
