This is an amazing dryer. Dried my thick wavy hair in half the time of my old dryer (it was 1 yr old!) Lightweight, quiet, and oh so affordable @$23. I was deciding between this one and the $200 one with the exact same features and I know I made the right choice. Go get it now!

The shipping on this item was pretty slow. It took approximately 2 weeks for delivery. I expected it take about 5-7 days. I like the dryer. It is a little bit lighter than my other Revlon Ionic dryer which is nice. It also gets hotter than my previous dryer which I also like. Overall I like the dryer. I would recommend it.

I was looking to replace a tourmaline hair dryer I bought a year ago at a beauty supply store. I found reviews for this Revlon dryer put it on par with dryers three times as expensive. I had my doubts but it really lived up to it’s claims. It is powerful enough to straighten out my curly hair and it did so without causing damage to my hair. It is also light as a feather, which is a plus compared to the heavy monstrosities I’ve used in the past. The only negative is that it has a very short power cord but that I can work with. I’m actually considering buying the travel version.

This is a powerful dryer, but it doesn’t singe my hair the way most do. I’m used to a smaller dryer, so the heft took a little getting used to, but my small ones never felt like a salon dryer the way this one does. My one caveat is if you have a specific storage space, be sure to pay attention to the measurements. I didn’t, but I lucked out. It stays in a drawer in my vanity that has an electrical outlet built in, and it fits in there with no room to spare. If it’s even lying on a hairpin or its own cord, the drawer won’t shut. So, I’m glad I bought it, and I expect we’ll have a long and beautiful relationship.

This hairdryer is powerful and lightweight and does a good job drying my usually frizzy hair and making it relatively smooth. The only drawbacks are the noise (I bought it thinking it would be quieter than my old dryer– not so, but about average for hair dryers), and the placement of the buttons (I keep hitting them by accident, but it’s nothing I can’t get used to). Overall, I would recommend this dryer, especially if you don’t want to spend the money on a T3. I like the diffuser attachments that come with it as well. Also, keep in mind that the airflow is POWERFUL, so if you don’t like getting blasted by a stream of air on the high setting, then this isn’t for you. It would benefit from a medium setting.

I have thick, coarse, wavy hair to the middle of my back…that I like to wear straight. My old hair dryer would take a good 20-30 minutes to dry it, and that was with me brushing and pulling and exerting some effort. So imagine my wondrous surprise when this hair dryer did the same job in about 10 minutes–no lie! And it is SO light!!

I do agree with some of the other reviewers that the buttons are not placed very well (although I only accidentally turned it off once), and I have to say that I wish the “cold shot” button was able to lock in the “on” position (like my last dryer did).

I tested the sound against my old dryer (probably five years old, but the same wattage and also ionic), and they were about the same, but the Revlon is much lighter and dries the hair much faster. The air stream did seem a bit higher, but that was fine with me since I need that for my hair. And overall, my hair looked the same as it did with my old dryer.

So, for a new mom with not much time for hairstyles, this hair dryer is a winner. It only gets knocked down to 4 stars because of the button placement and the cold-shot button.
