Customer Reviews of Andis 40055 Pro Style 1600 Hair Dryer
Customer Review: Hard to believe it could be so good
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this dryer based on the user reviews and am very pleased. It has a lot of drying power. It's light. It's quiet. It's nicely balanced. It's not necessary to grip the handle to hold the dryer. It will balance in the crook of your left thumb, so your hand and arm won't get tired from holding it. I can't say for certain, since I don't have carpal tunnel syndrome, but this may be a great dryer for people who suffer from it since there's no need to clinch a fist to hold it. Though I was at first disappointed that I can't remove the screens to clean them (and will need to do it with the vacuum cleaner) I later decided that for price and performance, this is a pretty great dryer.Customer Review: Good dryer; Misleading Product Information

This is an excellent, small dryer. I really like it. However, it does not have four heat settings and two air speeds. it has: an on/off switch; a high/low heat switch and a high/low air speed switch. This gives you four COMBINATIONS, but not four heat settings. We live in an old house, a century home, with 15 amp circuits, so I wanted something that would not trip the electrical breakers on its highest setting. Most new dryers are 1800 watts and can trip the breakers if anything else is using current at the same time on that circuit. This one, with the lower wattage, has not done that. It is a good product at an excellent price; just don't expect 4 heat settings.Customer Review: love, love love this blowdryer!

I tried this blowdryer at Kimpton Hotels in San Francisco-- forgive me -- it blew mind!!!! I have long curly hair that I straighten as I blowdry using a large metal brush. Normally, this is a 20-30 minute painstakingly long process. This blowdryer reduced my drying time to 7 minutes!! 7 minutes!!!! The hot air is VERY HOT, the high speed is VERY HIGH. I loved this product so much I texted myself the name of it and bought it when I got home. Can't say enough... It does overheat, so if you turn it off between sections of hair or something... you might have to wait until it cools a little. But to save 15-20 minutes of my life from blowdrying hell, it's worth it!!Customer Review: Excellent Hair Dryer! Lightweight, small Love it!

I was looking for a dryer that was NOT an ion dryer or ceramic, these days that is NOT that easy!!!! I came across this one, had a few good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try....I'm so glad I did! I've had this dryer for a little over 2 years....no problems. I use it every single day with a big diffuser on it. I have naturally curly thin hair and must use a diffuser...this dryer works perfectly for me. At first I didnt think I'd like the smaller size but quickly got over that, now I love it I take it everywhere! 1600 watts is perfect. In fact I love this dryer so much I just bought a second one "just in case"....!!!! Try it you will not be disappointed!Customer Review: It's okay-maybe?

I bought this item based upon the reviews found here at Amazon. Yes, it is small and powerful, easily carried. It is just about right, almost.
From day one the bearings sound like they are going out. Did I get a defective unit? If yours sounds like mine, you are wondering when it will be going out. But it still works so I keep using it. Does the "going out sound" bother us. You bet it does!

Yep, it did go out about a week ago, so the sounds were the prelude of a unit wearing itself out. Only lasted several months.
