Revlon Tourmaline Ionic Lightweight Dryer

I recently purchased this hair dryer and I really like it. It IS very lightweight, just as the other reviewers have said. I'm also amazed and how quickly it dries my very thick hair! Some reviewers have complained about the placement of the controls, but I haven't found it to be problem. In fact, I like how easily I can change the dryer settings while in use. And I find that that the amount of pressure required to actually flip the switches is sufficient that I don't change the settings on accident. Other reviewers have said that the hot setting is too hot, but I don't agree at all. Overall, I've been very satisfied with this purchase.

I've recently experienced a very expensive flat iron so I was in the mindset to think that only a very expensive blow dryer would do. However, like the informed consumer that I am, I did my research online as to which dryer was the best. From what I read, this dryer performed very well against others on the market and was second only to the T3 dryer that cost over $300. When it really came down to it, there were no specifics as to what made the T3 better. Since this was around $30, I thought I'd try it. I didn't need the dryer to do many things. I style my hair with heat (flat iron) so I blow dry on "warm" only. I do not style with the dryer anymore, only to dry it and give it a little volume. Perhaps my previous dryers are to blame for my clumsiness with the dryer (on myself). When I'm doing other people's hair, no problem, but on my own head, the dryer always felt foreign and positioned incorrectly. This dryer changed my whole outlook. It drys my hair really fast f...

The dryer works well and is reasonably priced, but the controls are placed so that when you wrap your hand around the dryer it is practically impossible not to touch them and either get a different setting or turn the dryer off. In my opinion, it should be back to the drawing board to design better placement of the contols.

I got this dryer this week and used it a few times. It is not so noisy as others have said. Sounds more like a blender on low. The rocker controls are in exactly the right place for me because you can finish with a shot of cool air without taking the dryer away from your hair. It dries faster than my expensive ionic dryer and my hair looks and feels different, too....softer, shinier and styled the way I like it. If this dryer lasts a long long time, and keeps doing what it is supposed to do, I would say it is almost perfect. I just wish it was a bit smaller since I found it in a 'travel dryer' search.

This is a solid hairdryer. It dries quickly, it's comfortable to hold, and it has the right amount of bells and whistles. I like how it not only has a hot setting and the usual cold-blast, but it also has a warm setting, which is nice to be able to use on my young daughter. It does what it needs to do for not a lot of money!
