Reviewers say that the 1,875-watt Conair Ion Shine Travel Ionic Styler 162 is an excellent option for traveling. Experts praise the Conair Ion Shine line of hair dryers for drying hair quickly while leaving it shiny and soft as well as reducing flyaways. The Ion Shine Travel dryer is equipped with all of the same features as the stay-at-home model, namely ionic technology, two heat/speed settings, cool-shot button and a hinged filter for easy cleaning. In addition, the dryer makes traveling convenient with dual voltage and a folding handle. Reviewers note, however, that the Conair 162 is not as compact as other travel dryers.

There aren't many reviews available for the Conair Ion Shine Travel Ionic Styler 162. User reviews of the Travel Ionic Styler 162 at Amazon.com provide a glimpse into everyday experience, and About.com has a brief mention of the model 162 as well.
