Customer Reviews of Conair 213XP Infiniti Professional Tourmaline Ceramic Technology Ionic Styler, Black
Customer Review: drys fast, but too heavy
Summary: 3 Stars
The weight of this dryer really annoys me. Imagine holding a brick over your head, that's about how heavy it feels. I wish I would have just spent more and bought a good dryer that wasn't so heavy. I'm a small person, but I'm no weakling, I workout daily, I can run 12 miles and do push-ups, but still, having to hold this thing up above my head and maneuver it around is annoying, it makes drying your hair a chore. I never noticed the weight of my old dryer, but this one I do. I suggest you pay more and get something that you will enjoy for the rest of your life. This dryer does do a good job of drying, it drys in about 5 minutes and I have long hair, so I can't complain about that. Okay, I just weighed my dryers and want to give you a better comparison. My old dryer is a Conair 1875, it takes probably about 10 minutes or more to thoroughly dry my hair and weighs exactly 1 pound. The Conair 213X drys my hair in about 5 minutes, but it weighs 1.6 pounds. 1.6 pounds doesn't sound like a lot, but basically imagine holding one and a half dryers, and that will give you an idea of what it feels like.Customer Review: Great hairdryer for the right price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I did quite a lot of research before buying this hairdryer. I was debating between this and another product that was around $90...I've always used "cheapie" dryers from the drugstore, and when mine stopped working, I decided I needed an upgrade. The reviews seemed good and the price was right - so decision made.
First, let me say: Other reviewers have commented that this is unreasonably heavy. It is on the heavier side, but it's not at all uncomfortable and it actually helps me to gauge where I'm aiming it.
Secondly, I don't think this hairdryer gets very hot. This is a huge plus for me, because I have thin hair and I don't think I could singe or burn my hair with this dryer. However, for someone with super thick hair, it might not do the job as well.
With my old dryer, it took me 20-30 minutes to dry my medium length hair. With this dryer, I'm dry and ready to go in 10 minutes or less, so that is a huge plus.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy this item again.
Customer Review: Decent dryer
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this after my Conair Ion Shine travel dryer of 12 years finally died.
I can only compare these two dryers to each other, since I haven't had a ton of experience with other dryers. I have a lot of straight fine shoulder length hair.
The Conair 213XP has great features and versatility.
Without using product, it does a good basic dry, and leaves my hair looking nice with some body (but not necessarily volume).
When I style my hair (round brush in layers) with product, the time is not any shorter than my use with the Ion Shine Traveler. The dryer does start to feel heavy after holding it up over my head for 20-30 minutes, trying to do all the layers. It is a little awkward because of the weight and location of the buttons.
If I had my pick I would revive my Ion Shine Traveler for its size and lightness, and the fact that I can easily fold it up to take it anywhere.
However, I still believe Conair makes good dryers, and will continue to use and experiment with this one.
Customer Review: Claims are too high but good for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I have long (4 inch below shoulder), straight hair with a bit of a frizz. I have never been able to get a salon finish with my old hair dryer and this one for sure brought me closer. But I think the claims are too much.
--My hair is long and this a heavy dryer (3 lbs). I get quite tired after using it and especially when I am doing the back hair.
--It does leave the hair softer but since the dryer motor is weaker than salon quality hair dryers, it has less pull which means less control. It is harder to do anything more than the basic straight blow drying quickly. For finishing the ends, you end up relying more on the brush than the dryer.
--I did not notice the drying time to be faster which is supposed to be the one of the big advantages of ionic dryers.
Overall I think the dryer works well for its price with some anti-frizz product. I would not expect to be able to do salon style look in 10 mins or even 20 mins as most of the reviews claim.
I will be returning this.
Customer Review: Makes a huge difference with my hair!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little skeptical of some of the reviews on this dryer. I had a hard time believing that a blow dryer had the ability to make my hair look healthier and shiny. Well, I'm so glad I was proved wrong!
My hair is very thin, but it's usually so frizzy by the time I'm done drying it straight. With this blow dryer, my hair doesn't have a bunch of fly aways and it looks so shiny!
For the first time in years, I'm actually happy with how my hair looks.
There are two negatives with this dryer. The placement of the buttons is awkward. The way they're positioned on the handle makes it hard for you to dry your hair without changing the settings or turning it off on accident.
The second negative is the weight of the dryer. At first, I thought it was way too heavy. Now, a few weeks later, I've completely adjusted to it.
Even with those two negatives, I would still highly recommend this blow dryer. I can't believe I went so long using one that was so sub par to this.
