Customer Reviews of Conair Ionic Conditioning Pro Style 1875-Watt Hair Dryer
Customer Review: I like this dryer alot.
Summary: 4 Stars
I wrote this review 3 years ago. 3/2006 and this dryer is still going strong.
This dryer is definitely quieter than most. I purchased it after I dropped my previous Quiet dryer from Conair and the clip that holds on the diffuser broke. No diffuser makes a dryer useless to me. I had to use my back-up dryer (not a Conair, the one time I strayed) for a few days. I could hear the difference when I got this new Conair. It's much quieter and was significantly lighter. I'm not very impressed with the IONIC portion of it, hence the 4 stars. The diffuser is nice and big. It attaches solidly (without clips that can break) and really stays on there. The hanging loop is a big plus too. I will never buy another dryer without one again. I like Conair because they stand the test of time. I've never burnt one out. I need a hair dryer that can take a lot of abuse and Conair's have always been able to do that.
I'd like to point out also that I have never tripped a circuit breaker at home or visiting someone with this dryer. That reviewer should get their home wiring checked before they have a fire.
Overall, I highly recommend this dryer.
Customer Review: great hairdryer!
Summary: 5 Stars
i'll be honest, the only hairdryer i've consistently used (other than borrowing friend's and such) is my mom's crazy 20 year old one. and i was looking to get a hairdryer for college, especially since i didn't want to be caught out in the cold with wet hair with the temperatures dropping.
So I researched a little, saw that this one got pretty good reviews, and bought it. It's a decent price, not too heavy, and after less than 10 minutes, my thick, below the shoulder, layered hair was completely dry. And it looked like i'd just come back from getting my hair done. Amazing. My hair feels soft and silky. I had no problems with accidentally turning the switches on or off (honestly I don't see how you could unless your fingers wrap all the way around the handle), my arm didn't get tired (you're only holding it for less than ten minutes, when does it have time to get tired?!), and air stream is pretty strong.
My only problem is that my hair looked a little dry, and the dryer didn't look THAT professional, but those are minor issues.
Overall, I'm a fan.
Customer Review: Okay performance - better than average equipment longevity
Summary: 3 Stars
Unlike many other reviewers here, I have exceptionally thin hair. I purchased this dryer with the intent to improve the condition. It does a FAIR job. I have had the dryer about 2 years and it hold up rather well considering the abuse I give it. The dryer has very little power and I would say that drying time probably takes about 2-3 minutes longer than with a regular blow dryer. If you have very frizzy or curly hair then you I probably would NOT recommend this just based on the power levels. If you have wavy hair then this dryer in combination with either a diffuser or the accompanying attachment should would well for you. It is a heavier hair dryer and isn't great to take on vacations. The position of the ion switch is lousy - you'll probably find yourself accidentally turning it off just based on it's location. Settings are either high or low and the same goes for speed. I happen to use high but if you like variety you may want to consider another model. A better buy is the Revlon Ion dryer if you feel like upgrading. The difference in price is perhaps 5 U.S. dollars at best....Customer Review: Some pluses, some minuses
Summary: 3 Stars
This is my only experience with an ionic hair dryer, so I have nothing with which to compare this one. However, I bought it because I had several expections about its features. Here is how each feature measured up:Quicker? NO. It may even take a little longer than a standard 1875-watt dryer. The reason is that the fan does not blow very hard. The "high" setting blows about like the "low" setting on a standard dryer.
Reduced frizz/flyaways/static? YES. These are significantly reduced.
Increased shine? YES. My hair is visibly shinier.
Quieter? YES, but qualified. The only reason it is quieter is because it doesn't blow air as hard as a regular dryer.
Freshens hair? YES.
Another drawback: This dryer is very heavy. It took me several days to get used to how heavy it is.
This dryer delivers almost all of what ionic hairdryers promise, but I was mostly hoping for a dryer to speed drying time. If you have thin hair or hair that dries quickly or have plenty of time to dry your hair, then I would highly recommend this dryer. My hair looks shinier and healthier.
Customer Review: Good deal.
Summary: 4 Stars
This hair dryer works well. It's much quieter than most dryers I've used, which is great, because I always worry about damaging my hearing with daily use. So it's great not having to have to worry about that.
Some people talk about how heavy it feels, but I don't really notice. I do visit the gym every once in while, so there you go.
I thought the silvery front part of the dryer was going to be metal, but it's a dull plastic. That makes it look quite a bit cheaper than pictured. It still works great nonetheless. It dries faster than my other dryer. I really like all of the settings; warm/hot (and cool button), low/high. As far as the shininess - I didn't notice a difference. But I definitely had less static and fly-aways.
It comes with a diffuser and another part which you can snap on, which I'm pretty sure is for blowing your hair out.
All in all, this hair dryer is a good deal for the price. I think it's cheaper here on Amazon than Walmart. At my Wally, there were selling it for $20 and I got it for $10 here.
