Product reviews of Revlon RV544 1875 Watt Tourmaline Ionic Lightweight Dryer, Silver/Black
Review: Best Hair Dryer- as long as it has 4 fan blades! /New update- dryer dying
Beauty product: 2 Stars
I purchased this back in Aug '08 from Amazon and I have finally gotten around to writing a review and it is definitely positive. This replaced my old Vidal Sassoon which had lasted years but the screen got loose and caught in the fan and it was done. I searched and finally settled on this. I couldn't believe that it actually DID dry my hair faster like the other reviews had said, and also without feeling like my hair is frying and, remarkably, it does feel quite soft compared to my old dryer. My hair is medium to long and extremely thick (fine hair but a lot of it) so it still is amazing how fast this dries my hair- </= 5 minutes. I never thought I'd care about that cold blast shot but it has come so handy as I do use hot rollers quite often. This is also the quietest hair dryer I've ever had. A lower softer rumble from my old one. I loved this hair dryer so much, when I saw the same model on sale at a local drug store chain later that year, I bought one for our family's weekend place. That's when I noticed a HUGE difference. The second one I bought was very loud, and sounded like it was working too hard. I called the manufacturer and they couldn't explain it. That's when my husband and I looked at both and noticed that the one I bought from Amazon had 4 FAN BLADES and the one I bought from the drug store had 7 FAN BLADES. The customer service rep said that isn't the reason why it sounded so bad but my husband and I were convinced and my husband is an engineer. So, I went back to the drug store and found one out of the bunch that had the 4 FAN BLADES. Voila! It works as wonderfully as the first one I bought. So, my advice is:
Be sure to get the one with 4 FAN BLADES. I don't know how you'd do that with Amazon, though. I strongly feel there is a remarkable difference in loudness and performance. This is an excellent hair dryer with the 4 fan blades. It's still going strong over two years later with daily use. The second one I bought isn't used as often but is in same excellent condition.
UPDATE 1/8/11- thumbs down!
It seems I jinxed myself writing the above glowing review. My hairdryer is slowly dying. Its GFI plug kept tripping a couple of days and now my dryer is running on a low speed while on the high switch, the low switch is barely running at all. Still have heat, hair is still drying but obviously I need a new dryer. I just read a recent review on here that says she experienced the same problem, but within a matter of 2 months. My dryer got a little over 2 years. It was a great dryer but now if it is as claimed by the other reviewer that this is a common problem of it tripping and motor dying, I cannot really give a good review considering my old Vidal Sassoon lasted many years, if not for the loosened fan screen getting caught in the blades and ruining it.
Review: Best Hair dryer ever

I have really thick curly hair and it takes forever to dry normally and most dryers tend to leave my hair frizzy. After using the Revlon RV544 my hair looks shiny and healthy and it doesn't take a long time. Another plus is that it truly is light weight and doesn't make my arm tired.

I need a hairdryer that dries my hair fast and leaves it smooth and manageable. The Revlon is it! I have used many hairdryers, several 4-5 times the price of the Revlon RV544. The others are Tourmaline Ionic and cost a fortune, but I always come back to this hairdryer. It's lightweight and easy to use. My hair is silky smooth in no time! I gave the more expensive ones to my husband and teenagers, but they kept coming to my room to use my Revlon. I bought each of them one so now I don't have to share mine. Who says good quality has to break the bank! The Revlon RV544 is the perfect example! Review: Best bet for your money

I've had two T3 blowdryers in the last few yrs ..only to have them both fail me within 12 months of using them.. One only lasted a couple of months. My sister also had several of the T3 dryers and had the same problem. We both have thick frizzy hair and agreed the Revlon did as good a job straightening and smoothing as the T3.

I got this dryer this week and used it a few times. It is not so noisy as others have said. Sounds more like a blender on low. The rocker controls are in exactly the right place for me because you can finish with a shot of cool air without taking the dryer away from your hair. It dries faster than my expensive ionic dryer and my hair looks and feels different, too....softer, shinier and styled the way I like it. If this dryer lasts a long long time, and keeps doing what it is supposed to do, I would say it is almost perfect. I just wish it was a bit smaller since I found it in a 'travel dryer' search.
