Done the job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It Done a great job at drying hair but was too powerful for thin hair, very lightweight and easy to use controls were easily knock while being used.

Ridiculously Expensive Hair Dryer
It's a hair dryer. It dries your hair. That's what it does, nothing special about it, so it gets 3 stars for being ridiculously expensive, but if that's what's wanted for Christmas, what can you do?

Compact but powerful!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favourite hair dryer! It is so small, compact and light making it really easy and comfortable for me to hold for the duration of drying my hair without my arm or wrist getting sore. Despite its compact size, it is surprisingly powerful! It is more powerful than my old one! It dried my hair in a matter of minutes without leaving it frizzy. It comes with different attachments which are magnetic so it's really easy and quick to interchange them.it is really smart and sleek and looks expensive. It has 3 heat settings, 3 power settings and a cool shot button so there will be a setting that works for everyone. Overall I think this hair dryer is fab! It's perfect for anyone like me who has arthritis and it would be perfect for travel.

Everybody should use one of these
My hairdresser uses this hair dryer and I thought I might like one because it works well. So, I bought one 1 month ago and it's really easy to use.

Tiny in size but powerful, fast, and genuinely ama
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been testing the WAHL Vanquish Compact for a little while now and I’m honestly blown away by how tiny yet unbelievably powerful it is. The build feels really sturdy despite its lightweight design, and the compact size makes it so easy to handle without wrist fatigue. Performance-wise, it dries my hair so quickly and evenly- the airflow is super concentrated and consistent, which I wasn’t expecting from such a small dryer. I also love that it’s quieter than my previous one, and the attachments snap on securely and make styling simple. For the value, I genuinely think it’s worth it because it feels like a premium, well-built tool that actually performs exactly as promised. If you want something lightweight that still packs a punch, this is it.

Compact and powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hairdryer is compact and lightweight. It has 3 different speeds and heat settings so you can pick what works for you. Although small it is powerful.

Light, effective, and convenient- great value.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair-dryer is a winner. It’s surprisingly lightweight and easy to handle, even for quick morning dries, I don’t get that sore-hand feeling from holding up a heavy hairdryer while styling. The airflow is super powerful, and it dries my hair much faster than my old one, which makes a big difference when I’m in a rush.  I also love the versatility: there are multiple heat and speed settings (plus a cool-shot option) for when I want to style or just dry quickly. The magnetic attachments clip on securely, making it simple to switch between a smooth blow-dry and a more voluminous finish.  It’s also much quieter than you’d expect for such a powerful dryer. The only mild downside is that I sometimes find the airflow a little over-powerful unless I keep the fan speed or heat low.  All in all, I think it’s a brilliant everyday hair-dryer. Light, effective, and convenient- great value if you want a reliable upgrade from a basic model.
