Product reviews of Conair Ionic Conditioning Pro Style 1875-Watt Hair Dryer
Review: Good hair dryer
Beauty product: 5 Stars
Bought this because my TINY hair dryer of 15 years died. I like this one, but its big, again, my other dryer was TINY. So this was an adjustment. I haven't noticed any major differences in my hair, but its less static-y.
My kids like it because of the warm setting, its perfect for them. They also like the cool button...I don't really use it myself.
Overall, does a great job...price was right...I'd buy it again
Review: Good investment - after several uses I am pleased with performance
Beauty product: 4 Stars
My hairstylist recommended I buy an ionizer hairdryer because it does not dry out hair as much as others. I invested a couple hours researching on line and reviewing the products here at Amazon. In the end, I selected the Conair Ion Shine because it was 1875 watts, was an ionizer, was priced affordably, and the design seemed good.
Now that I have received the item and have had some time to use it, here are my ratings:
STORABILITY: 2.5 stars There is a hanging loop, but the cord is heavy and awkward. The unit is heavy enough that whatever hook one would hang it from would have to be substantially mounted so it would not pull out of the wall. (Wall mounting is not an option for me). Also, after only two uses, the cord has already begun to twist, which is a negative.
VALUE: 4.5 stars I knew the Amazon price was reasonable, even lower than my local discount stores. After I purchased this item, I found the same model at BIG LOTS for a dollar more and in different colors.
PERFORMANCE: 5 stars Dries hair quickly without using high heat temps. Unit comes with a few attachments. The diffuser is really large and awkward to store. The unit has a hinged filter that opens easily for cleaning. The removable filter is the standard small piece of material that I have seen in other high-tech fan devices, including the high-end SmartTechnologies Smart Board in my classroom. I'm figuring the filter material is pretty standard. In my previous hair dryer, the fan did not have a removable filter for cleaning; eventually the old fan clogged so horribly (despite my attempts to brush it out)that it slowed down and eventually killed the unit.
Other note: If a younger child will be using the unit, she may find the unit feels heavy or hard to hold after a while. I suggest looking for one of the smaller, portable units for tweens.

This blow dryer is a little on the heavy side, and the sound isn't exactly quiet either. BUT, like most people said, I do feel a difference in the way my hair looks and feels when I use this one compared to other regular dryers. My hair tends to be dry to begin with, so maybe that's why i notice the change. But if you already have smooth hair, I wouldn't know how the product performs. Another plus is that it dries my hair quickly...takes about 1/2 the time I usually need. Review: Good product, but care needed with power cord

I purchased this dryer about 3-4 years ago. I have very long hair (below my waist) and it worked just fine for me. The ion feature makes a huge difference in the condition of my hair. Less frizz and less tangling.
The other day I was putting it away and noticed a crack in the cord's plastic insulation. When I flexed the cord (after it was unplugged) at the crack the insulation completely separated exposing the wires. Further inspection showed cracks in the insulation every where the cord had been bent when stored.
Normally we are very careful to stow appliance cords by folding (accordian style) and using velcro to hold in place. For my new hair dryer I will be less fastidious with the cord storage!
You probably should inspect the cord before every use to make sure the insulation is not cracked. It could have caused a fire, electric shock, or worse.
Review: Good working hair dryer

I suppose some people are never satisfied. I read all of the reviews and was amazed at the detail some wrote. For the price and good quality of this hair dryer I continually am amazed at some of the comments. "It drys hair better, it doesn't, it's heavy, it's light" WTF? The dryer works as well as any my family have had in the last 30 years. It drys hair--That's it. If you want to spend hundreds well, be my guest. As usual, fast delivery, good price and free shipping in certain cases and always a pleasure to shop on Amazon. Buy it--you'll like it! or don't ?? dang!
