Blow dryer winded, November 16, 2009
The blow dryer works fine but unfortunitely the diffuser attachment cracked off already. Called customer service for a replacement and I was told I had to send back the entire blow dryer - hassle! So, holding it together with tape.
Disappointed Andis Purchaser, November 8, 2009
After 3 1/2 months after purchasing this hair dryer, the unit has burned out. This was not the first time I have experienced this same problem with this same dryer. A year ago I purchased the same dryer and the had the same problem. Would I ever buy another Andis product...NO!

Some convenient features, average peformance, October 24, 2009

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.

Compact and Powerful, October 11, 2009
I bought this blow dryer so I'd have to stop depending on hotels and people I stay with. I tried it out in my apartment and it is really great. Almost good enough to replace my actual blow dryer (which to be fair is about 3 years old).

Very compact, perfect for travel.
Ionic Hair dryer, October 10, 2009
This is a great hair dryer. It is light and on the quiet side. The retractable cord is great. My hair has not looked better from drying with this product. I would recommend it.
