Great buy
I wanted a hairdryer that was light weight and powerful. I have short thick wavy hair and this hairdryer is great for straightening it.

High quality
The hair dryer has strong airflow. Quick drying but still quite noisy for me. It is a high quality compact dryer.

Dries hair efficiently
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great, lightweight hairdryer that is ideal for travel. The handle is comfortable to hold and it 8s straightforward to operate. Although small, compact, and lightweight, it does pack a punch for the size. It is simple to use and has a good length power cord, too if you like to be near a mirror bit away from the power socket Dries my hair efficiently.

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.
