Customer Reviews of Remington D-2012 Salon Quality Ceramic Hair Dryer with Professional AC Motor and TourmalineCustomer Review: Good but not WOW Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've been using this hair dryer for over 3 months now. I wanted to wait to give any reviews till I used this for awhile and I must say that it hasn't scored any points for length of use. I thought maybe if I continued to use it, my hair would improve from being dry, but it hasn't.
This dryer has a low and high speed setting, and low, medium and hot heat settings. The low setting dryed my hair as fast as a cheaper dryer and the high speed setting is probably enough to even dry clothes rather quickly! It packs a punch! After using all three heat settings, I found that medium works best although "hot" doesn't get as hot as most other dryers I've tried and those tend to actually burn the hair. There's also a "cool shot" feature that works great if you're using the hot setting and want an instant cool down.
The attachments are an "Airflow diffuser" and an "Airflow concentrator." Both of these work well if you either want a wide spread airflow or a concentrated one. The concentrated one works good if you're using either a brush or curlers and want the air "concentrated" on that particular spot. The wide spread one is simply if you want a wider area of airflow, such as if you have really long hair.
I thought that the tourmaline feature would make it somehow better for my hair, but I haven't noticed any improvement over other standard (and less expensive) hair dryers. This is my biggest dissapointment with this one and why I waited over 3 months to submit a review.
On the plus side, the filter hasn't clogged yet or gotten any hair in it at all! This is amazing, since with other dryers I've used, it didn't take long at all before hair would start gathering in the filter. This one also has a removable filter, but as of yet I haven't needed to clean it.
This is also heavier than most dryers, so if you have weak arms or otherwise have trouble holding something rather heavy for the length of time that it would take to dry your hair, this one probably isn't for you. However, if you want to do something a little extra to help build muscle in your arms, this will do it! It weighs under a pound, but compared to other dryers, it weighs about 1/3 more on average. This is also quieter than most dryers I've used. More time will tell on how durable it is, but the way this is constructed, I have no doubts that it will last a long time.
I'm giving this 3 stars due to the good features it has, but for the cost of the money and the seemingly "better for your hair" impressions that it seems it should have, it didn't score there. It remains just above average.
