Andis 1875 Ionic Ceramic Folding Dryer

I chose this model hair dryer because it was one of just a couple of models with a retractable cord AND a hook for hanging. I've had it for just over 1 month. The other models that retract and have a hook… were designed for the hotel industry and not available to the general public other than on ebay or in lots of 12! It seems hair dryer manufacturers must presume if yout want a cord that retracts, you intend to store the hair dryer in a drawer. In my case, I have a hook inside the vanity cabinet with an electrical outlet in the cabinet. I want to remove excess cord when not in use. Also, I did not need a folding handle and I am afraid that feature may weaken its integrity, but I haven't had any problems so far. The airflow is moderate but not great and the settings are limited to basically high and medium with a cool shot. I do not notice any better performance due to the ceramic feature and I have noticed less static and frizz with other ceramic models. The noise is average, but could be quieter. I hate that the back does not remove for cleaning the screen and expect this will also shorten the hairdryer's life. All in all it drys hair and stores conveniently and was not very expensive, but its not the perfect dryer by any means.
