Andis 1875 Ionic Ceramic Folding Dryer

Best travel hair dryer

Pros
  • Fast drying time
  • Three speeds with cool-shot button
  • Five-year warranty
Cons
  • Heavier than other hair dryers
  • Does not have dual voltage
  • Retractable cord eventually stops doing so

The Andis 1875 Ionic Ceramic Folding Dryer receives rave reviews from owners, several of whom purchased the dryer after using a similar model at hotels. This 1,875-watt travel dryer uses a ceramic coil to regulate heat and also includes ionic technology to prevent hair damage. The Andis hair dryer provides a wide range of temperature control with three heat settings and a cool-shot button. Users are impressed with the customer service and five-year warranty. A few owners say this hair dryer seems heavy, and others report that the cord retractor eventually stops working. The Andis Folding Dryer is not a dual-voltage model, so you'll need a voltage adaptor to use it in some countries. If you don't need a travel dryer, the Revlon RV544 Tourmaline Ionic (*Est. $25) is a highly recommended budget dryer.
