Without any exaggeration, I can say this blow dryer is lifechanging. I have very fine, somewhat wavy hair, so there is no weight to it when straight to keep it from becoming an awful, poofy, frizzy, dull mess. For as long as I've used dryers I've used some crappy Revlon one from Walgreens, and whenever it went out I'd just go back and buy a new one. But blowdrying alone was never enough. I also had to flatiron it to try to get it to be smooth and shiny, but that removed every bit of volume, but at lease my hair was sleek and pretty, right?
I had no idea it could get better. Oh, it can.
Today I was so excited to try this blow dryer out that I took an early afternoon shower just to use it. I experimented with the temperatures before using it on my hair - the hot is HOT and the warm felt hotter than my old blow dryer, so I went with that on high speed. I usually have to wait for my hair to mostly dry before using my other blow dryer lest I'm standing there for an hour, but with this one I went to it with still really really damp hair. The thing is just amazing. It dried REALLY quickly and left my hair so smooth and shiny yet still with awesome, gorgeous volume. Once I did my whole head with high speed, I turned it off and grabbed sections I wanted to tweak the ends of, and I used low speed (still warm heat, not high) on those sections individually. The results are so soft and bouncy and perfect, I stood in front of the mirror for ten minutes playing with it. I'm in love.
Guys, gals, anyone with hair - if your results are anything like mine, buy this blow dryer. It took me a lot of time to decide to drop the money on this, but I regret nothing. Totally worth it.
The time it takes to do my hair is now cut in half. I don't have to worry about burning myself on the flatiron. Also, I won't fry the heck out of my hair with the flatiron anymore, which has necessitated so many repairing products over the years.
Some other reviewers have mentioned that, due to the placement of the cool/warm/hot and off/low/high switches, they have changed settings mid-blow dry. I could see how this happened, and I did it once too. All I did to adjust was point my thumb up the handle of the blow dryer instead of curling it around and problem solved.
Seriously. Buy this blow dryer. I can't wait to do my hair again tomorrow.

Works great, but is coated in a cheap enamel
I should start by saying I bought this hairdryer in August of 2013 and have been using it almost every day for the last three years, and it has worked great. I have very long and thick hair, always leave the concentrator attachment on, and can dry my entire head in about 7 minutes, which is great. Some people have mentioned awkward button placement, but I have only accidentally hit a button while holding it less than 5 times in the last 3 years, so not really a big deal. Also, the long cord is great.The reason I have to give it only 3 stars instead of 5 is because the enamel on the handle has started cracking/shrinking (it looks like when you melt those plastic sleeves around an Easter egg). This actually started about a year ago, and since it didn't really affect anything, I thought, "Meh, it's fine." The handle isn't hot or anything, just fading/cracking. Just recently, the enamel has also started falling off, which revealed the red paint layer underneath. This shouldn't be a big deal, but with the heat of the dryer, the paint is literally melting off, and each time I dry my hair the palm of my hand gets covered in red paint! It washes right off with soap and water, but this isn't normal, also I have to make sure I don't accidentally touch my hair (or anything else) with that hand.Anyhow, for a professional dryer that presumably would be used for hours a day at a hair salon, I'm surprised this happened when I only use it for 7 minutes a day. Again, it's been 3 years, and there's nothing else wrong, it functions fine, but I now need to replace it because I can't deal with a bloody-looking hand every morning. I'll be replacing it with a $20 hair dryer so I won't be upset if I need to replace the next one after a couple years.
