When the dryer starts the dryer booster starts.When the dryer stops the dryer booster will kick on again until all the heat is vented.As far as I know there is no way to make it less sensitive.

just be sure to allow a few inches in the back for ventillation as this is were the dryer gets its air from. It might be useful putting a screen back there or something to help in this since it will be in a confined area.

My hair dryer does not vibrate at all. I would assume something is defective and exchange it.

No cool setting just high and low however, this dryer doesn't seem to produce that "hot" feeling to my hair like some others do.

Some sort of heating device is necessary. I used a crafting heating tool and it worked great, got much hotter than needed. Someone suggested a hair dryer would work but I did not try it.

No. The dryer does not have a cool setting. Just low & high, which is not very strong, but I like to think that it's a mild heat setting. The other attachment is the curling brush.

The issue is how much actual power your dryer will draw at the moment it starts up. I tried to run my air compressor, which runs just under 2000 watts, but it draws (according to the meter on the inverter) 4200 watts to start. The 7000 watt peak rating lasts for literally one second, which is not long enough to start the compressor in cold weather. Your dryer would likely not need a huge power draw for very long, but there's no way to know for sure without testing it with a meter. If you have any other heavy appliances or tools you're thinking of powering, I would go up in size. Hope this helps!

A good hair dryer should work but will probably take a bit longer to get warm enough.

I am really not sure... but what I did was contact my local appliance parts dealer and ask them to help you determine what parts are needed for repairing your dryer. I just explain it's an inquiry because I may try to repair it myself. They are usually happy to help you out.

I am not in the place where the dryer is right now and won't be until August 6th. It is my reccolection that it does have a cool shot button but I could be wrong as I rarley use that feature. I will check when I am home again and re-post if I was wrong.

Hi; My dryer does the same thing. It never gets too hot, but it does warm up. I have never had need to use the heat settings, I just keep it in neutral. I guess the motor pulling the air forward heats it up. I really love this dryer.

I have washed ours; but it says to line dry. I don't want to take the chance with the dryer.

If you install it in your laundry room it may be too close to the dryer. I do not have the installation instructions handy, but I believe they said it should not be within 5 feet of the dryer outlet. Mine is set up at about 10 feet from the dryer and works fine.

Sorry I can't help you here, I have an electric dryer and mine dries it just fine.

I've owned two over the years and both had very good power. The one I have now I've had for about two years and it's still going strong. Sounds like your dryer is atypical.
