Customer Reviews of Conair Ionic Conditioning Pro Style 1875-Watt Hair Dryer
Customer Review: good but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this dryer for about a year and share it with my sister. (im a teenager) Although they say you're supposed to be able to listen to music and hear over it because it's so quiet, you can't- it's just as loud as any dryer. The ion technology is good, but I don't notice that much of a difference.
Recently, this blowdryer started making weird buzzing noises- I'm asking for a new blowdryer for Christmas. I don't feel this is a great hairdryer, but it's fine.
I have thick hair so it takes about 10 minutes (give or take) to dry my hair after I've let it towel dry for a while. The buttons are placed weird and you cannot get a very good grip on it, it's not the lightest of all, but it works.
If you're looking for a cheap dryer with ion technology and low and high settings this is probably for you. After a year of this hairdryer, I'm asking for the Vidal Sassoon VS754 blow dryer now.
GOOD BUT NOT GREAT
Customer Review: Meh
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this dryer after getting sick of having to share my old one with 5 other family members. It's neither great nor horrible.
It does what it is designed to do - dry hair. That's about where the positives end. The dryer is very heavy and it takes a good seven minutes or so to dry my baby fine, shoulder length hair. The buttons on the dryer are in an awkward place and I'm forever accidentally bumping them and switching the settings or accidentally turning it off, mid-dry. I did not notice any difference in my hair using this dryer with its purported ion technology. The thing that annoys me the most about this dryer is the cord. It's nowhere near long enough for my liking. It's so short that I barely have enough length to dry my hair without sitting down - and I'm 5'3"! Bottom line: If you need "just" a hairdryer for a short amount of time and don't care that it's heavy/slow/has a short cord - then this is the dryer for you.
Customer Review: Don't buy if your hair is actually thick
Summary: 2 Stars
I rarely write reviews. Only when I am very, very pleased or very frustrated. I'm frustrated. My old cheap hairdryer went out on me and since I have very thick hair, I needed a new one immediately and this one had good reviews. Because this hairdryer takes so long I usually dry my hair in 2 sessions before leaving home in the morning. I do a short session to help dry my hair and then again later in the morning. If you have thinner hair, it does leave your hair shiny, so I gave it a 2nd star for that. My 10 year-old daughter has thick hair too and she usually goes to church or school with partially wet hair now. I wish I'd done more looking. I suppose I'll just have to call this one a loss. Hopefully it's not ion thing because all hair dryers seem to be that now.
Oh my other major disappointment with this is the cord is SO short. I like to not be attached to the wall when I dry my hair.
Customer Review: Does NOT include Diffuser
Summary: 3 Stars
If you, like me, have curly hair and want this dryer because it comes with the diffuser attachment BEWARE. I order this particular dryer since I used one at a hot springs and fell in love with it since it appeared that the diffuser was part of the package, plus my hair dried quickly without being fried. Then I saw that it was on Amazon and the diffuser is listed in the attachments. After Amazon sent me two (I complained about not getting the diffuser the first time) identical packages (the second one didn't have it either) I finally called Conair directly. After much confusion and way too much time, the woman said she would send me a diffuser, but she didn't know if it was going to fit. I finally got the diffuser from Conair and am finally happy, no thanks to Amazon's strictly email service when problems arise that require a human being with which to relay the details verbally. Whew. What a frickin pain.Customer Review: A disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
My several-year old Conair "Quiet 1875" has a cracked casing, so I purchased this to replace it. It is much, much, much noisier than my old Conair "Quiet 1875," takes twice as long to dry my hair and leaves it flat. It does leave my hair soft and shiny, but so did my old hair dryer. It also emits a lot of unpleasant odor, although that might change were I to keep using it (which I won't). I never write reviews, but if you want quiet, really, look elsewhere, such as the "Quiet 1875." I did not want a folding hair dryer, which is the only version of the "Quiet 1875" available on the 'Zon, but I wish I had bought the folding version of the "Quiet 1875" instead of this. In sum, if you are looking for a quiet hair dryer that dries your hair in a reasonable amount of time and also leaves it soft, shiny and looking great, you can do much better without breaking the bank with the "Quiet 1875."
