Conair 1875-Watt Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer with Diffuser and Concentrator, Black

This product was something I bought years ago. No store near me carries this one currently. It's an older model. But, very efficient. It works well! The dryer is a bit louder, but isn't disruptive like some older models (i.e.) the neighbors should be fine hahaha.This is the type of situation where the older model of a product works better than the newer ones released after it. That is sometimes the case with certain manufacturers or companies.When this model was back in stock and I was notified, I bought it immediately. This hair dryer lasted from the original release date until 2022. And, that's only cuz I dropped it. It would have still been fine I hadn't. The box most likely will have some scratches or marks (only from warehouse storage).But, it is nothing that effected my hair dryer. It was in its original box is the reason why. If you have ever worked customer service, then you know exactly what I mean. This is NOT a problem as long as nothing is cracked or defective shortly after you use it ;P Otherwise, you should good to go! It does get warm, but it cools off quickly.Again, to make sure it's clearly stated: Any box will get worn over time (due to warehouse storage). So, all in all, this hair dryer works just fine for me.

I cannot say enough good things about this hair dryer. First, be aware that it does not get super hot, BUT there is something about the airflow of this dryer that dries my hair really fast, without a ton of heat. That is a great thing, as it saves damaging my hair. AND it is also nice in the warmer weather...since it keeps you from cooking while you are trying to dry your hair. My hair seems to dry much faster using this hair dryer, than my old one.The attachments are great. I have curly hair, so the diffuser works perfectly, but the other attachment is great for blow drying my hair straight. I also like that the dryer has a decently long cord.UPDATE: I have shoulder length hair, and out of curiosity I timed how long it took to dry my hair with this blow dryer. I have pretty thick hair, and it only took 4 minutes to dry my hair! During another "timed test" it took 5 minutes, but this gives you an idea of how fast you can dry your hair :)

Bought this to replace the old dryer that caught fire on my wife hands, another Conair that lasted forever until it died spectacularly, fireworks included. It was overheating before so shame on my wife for keep using it; thankfully nobody was hurt. The reviews from my wife are in: This is better, lighter, dries faster and is more ergonomic than the model she had, and the rubberish finish makes it very comfortable to handle, but it shares two fundamental flaws with its predecessor:First is the #$%#@ attachments that keep flying off the air exhaust (my wife language...sorry!) when in use, it seems the heat causes the plastic to expand, losing its tight grip with the body of the drier and becoming loose. This is a very simple thing to fix, just make it a slide and rotate slightly mechanism with a couple of plastic tabs, not rocket science and not expensive to redesign/implement. This is annoying, and I'm surprised to find Conair hasn't fixed this for many, many years. My mother in law uses blue masking tape to keep it in place on her Conair, not an elegant but good solution (it looks terrible by the way)The second problem is cable management. The instructions (yes, I read them but believe me I'm a normal guy) is full of warnings and indications on how to use, do not misuse, handling, treating and taking care of the cable, yet Conair offers NO solution for handling the cable for storage. It cannot be rounded around the handle, it cannot be coiled, it cannot be bent at the point it connects to the handle, etc, etc there seems to be no other way to store this drier safely but with the cable in straight position, meaning you need to hang it from the ceiling or buy a very large drawer... really? It seems Conair is trying to protect itself from lawsuits by forbidding any reasonable way to handle what appears to be the weakest and more prone to damage section of the drier, with the worst consequences if it fails. This is OK, but please, give the users a solution, do not only present us the problems

I've only had this for about a week but I'm pretty impressed so far. I had my old hairdryer for at least 6 years and it finally crapped out on me - it was just a Revlon that I had gotten from Walmart or somewhere. I considered spending about $30 more on a nicer dryer, but decided I'd try a Conair first since it was cheaper and my mom has one that I love using when I go home. So I ordered this guy (which came in two days - gotta love Amazon Prime when you don't have a working hair dryer) and was initially kind of bummed when I opened it. I know you get what you pay for, but this one is much lighter than the dryer my mom has, so I was worried it wouldn't work as well. Turns out my fears were unfounded - this guy is powerful and quieter than my old dryer, and the tourmaline ceramic technology, which they tout as leaving your hair shinier with less frizz, totally works! My hair has been amazing every day. I also really like how light it is now that I know it works. I don't know how long this guy will last and I can see the matte casing eventually peeling off like the other reviewer mentioned, but it's functionality is fantastic for the price. Would definitely recommend this.
