Need a powerful dryer that dries hair quickly. Does this dryer do this, or should I be looking for something else? Babyliss XTreme 2000 breaks

I don't have much experience with other hair dryers, but this one is very powerful. It works much better than my inexpensive drugstore brand

the power is good. The only issue I had was the cool setting is still warmer than the air temp. I wrote to them and they said they would change the description but they didn't. Guess getting more sales is more important than honesty. The controls are also in an awkward position and sometimes you change them just because that's where your hand rests when drying your hair. I didn't find that to be a big deal because you can change it back easily. Hope this helps

I will tell you that this dryer broke on me in less than 3 months- and I only use a hair dryer about once a week. It was bought to replace a Conair that I had had more than a decade before it bit the dust. Might have been a fluke, but the EVA one I got to replace it has a much heavier feel and a thicker electric cord. I've only had it about a week though so I can't attest to its longevity yet.

Yes, this dryer works great (according to my wife). Powerful, three levels of heat and quiet. She loves it.

I am not sure if the term for this dryer is high velocity as I am just a novice pet owner and not a groomer. But I will say that it is the best thing since sliced bread. I have a Wheaton terrier and he is 39lbs, his natural hair is curly but we keep his hair straight. Prior to using this dryer I would just use the typical hair dryer and it took forever, now with this dryer the time is cut down to 20 minutes max and his hair comes out straight whether I brush it while drying or not. Obviously if you brush the hair as your dry, it will be straighter. I highly recommend this dryer. Hope this helps !

Yes this dryer is good and hot and dries hair very quickly yet shiny and smooth. I have had many many dryers and love this the best

I have fairly fine hair so for me it dries in 20 minutes.It is not a bad dryer but not nearly as good as a professional hair dryer which probably wouldn't cost you much more. I wouldn't recommend this dryer because it is made of plastic parts and they chip easily.

I air dry my hair to pretty much dry and then use the hot air brush. It works great. I also put some kind is a conditioner or heat protector it on my hair is soon as I get out of the shower. The brush gets pretty hot. My second brush is hotter than my first was. But it does a great job. I would never have another brand.

Hi, I definitely use this dryer for deep conditioning.It is powerful, the air seems to flow upwards, so my plastic cap feels like it's going to fly off sometimes...it lifts a little-but it stays in place. When I plan to blow dry, I sit w/my hair out under the dryer for about 10 min, so that blow drying only takes about 3-5 min..less damaging, less drying. I also wet-set under the dryer for about 45 min-this dryer is superb for this.

Hi Deborah- I found that even tho it feels like it has less power than most, it dries my hair faster. Perhaps the ionization is responsible. The problem I found was that it died a few months later!! Keep your receipt !!!

Much less than one would expect from such a powerful dryer. My hair has NEVER come out better! Noice depends on what setting you have it on. I use the highest heat, then use the cool button and it sets my hair as if I had curlers in it. Beats using a curling iron! Good luck!

Yes. I got this dryer before I cut my long hair, and I have to say it's the fastest hair dryer I've ever had to date.

I will say it is a heavy blow dryer, BUT, it dries the hair faster, and leaves the hair shinier than anyone I've ever used. I'm a hairstylist and I got sick and tired of buying dryers over and over. EACH one claimed it was was THE blow dryer. Finally I looked on line at which blow dryer rated the best and this one came up. At over 100.00 dollars I thought, here we go again!!! This is by far the best one I've owned yet. Again, it's not light like others are claiming, but it dries far faster than others. I hope this helped!

Wate is not listed anywhere on the box, the dryer or in the packaging. I even looked on the HOT TOOLS website and the wattage was not listed there. However, I have extremely thick hair and it dries my hair in a fairly fast time. It is an IONIC Turbo dryer with fast drying time. Sorry no wattage invormation is available. But I do love the dryer, if that helps!

How much hair do you have? I have a medium amount of long, fine hair with a wave - it dries my hair in about 5 minutes - and we're always in a rush these days, right? It's a very powerful. If you have a lot of hair, it would probably work well. It won't dry your hair out any more than most dryers!

I would not purchase this dryer again. Too long, not enough settings, tends to make my hair frizzy. Does dry fast. Hopes this helps.

Hot Tools HT1074 is one of the finest drying/curling tools I have ever used. It's two steps of hair care rolled into one. On the issue of the dryer being too "loud", relatively speaking, it is no louder than hair salon dryers.
