  Manufacturer reported Features Nanoe™ hair dryer adds volume, minimizes frizz and reduces damage to hair from brushing Infuses 1000x more moisture into hair than typical ion hair dryers The unique quick dry nozzle provides dual airflow for faster drying Style while you dry with three pro-quality nanoe attachments - a dual airflow Quick-Dry Nozzle is designed to dry hair faster; a Concentrator Nozzle provides focused airflow for precise styling; a full-sized Diffuser adds volume while combating frizz 1875 Watts, two speeds, three heat settings, three attachments included The Panasonic Nanoe Hair Dryer is a powerful blow dryer features three heat settings and a cool shot button. It also uses “nanoe heating technology”, which adds volume and shine to your hair by producing nano-sized electrostatic water particles which hold more water than negative ion producing dryers. It forces moisture into the hair, increasing volume and shininess and adding strength to prevent breakage or dryness caused by heating. The cool shot is particularly helpful when you are curling the hair and don't have time for it to cool on it’s own. The dryer looks well constructed and has good balance in your hand. This professional hair blow dryer comes with three different attachments and includes a two-year warranty. This hair dryer is black and pink in color. There are no other colors available. This blow dryer features 1,875 watts of power, which makes it ideal for all hair types. The high settings have enough heat to quickly dry thick and coarse hair and the low settings are great for thin or fine hair. Some other features are a removable air filter that you can regularly clean and a long 9-foot power cord. It also has three attachments that connect to the front of the dryer, more than most other dryers. A quick dry nozzle for fast drying when no styling is needed. A concentrator to help with making those curls and a diffuser to help dry while keeping waves or curls intact adding volume. I asked my wife to try the dryer, she has problems with other dryers causing her hair to be dry or brittle. This dryer did in fact make the hair more shiny and add volume. She also found it easy to handle and was able to create curls that lasted all day long. The cool shot worked great for this during her morning rush! If you are looking for an upgrade in your hair dryer this would be a great choice.

  Nice, but pricey.

  First I would like to disclose that I received the Panasonic EH-NA65-K hand-held hair dryer with nanoe™ technology in exchange for my review. Being a man with average length hair, I am not the target audience for this particular product, but I have used a hair dryer on days I am leaving the house, for forty-plus years. I think that qualifies me to make a few observations based on past experiences. I have noticed in more than one place that this dryer is referred to as black/pink. The trim color looks red to me under “warm," incandescent light bulbs, but does have a slight pinkish hue in daylight from the window. The main body color is a matte black finish that gives the product an expensive look. While it does not have a cord reel, the long cord is nice to have especially if you are using the dryer someplace other than at a bathroom vanity. The dryer I was using before the Panasonic was delivered has a retractable cord and I do not especially care for it as I found the cord a little on the short side and I never retracted it anyway (it was a hand-me-down from my wife). The switches on the Panasonic for fan speed and air temperature while not Lexus-like in feel, do appear to be a little nicer than other hair dryers I have experienced. The three included accessories easily, but securely, snap on and off of the dryer’s nozzle. Overall, the product makes a good first impression, as it should considering the MSRP price point. The first thing I noticed about the Panasonic when I used it was that it is noticeably quieter than the dryer I was previously using. Since a hair dryer spends its working life about a foot from your head, I decided to round up all of the dryers I could find (current one, one from a suitcase, and one I took to work to remove stickers) and compare them with the Panasonic using a sound meter app on my phone. I will refer to them as A, B and C. Dryer A has two fan speeds, and it produced 80 and 91 decibels respectively at about 12 inches from my phone. Dryer B has three fan speeds that produce 76, 85, and 87 decibels. Dryer C has two fan speeds and produced 76 and 89 decibels. The Panasonic has two fan speeds and produced 72 and 81 decibels. In my opinion, a very noticeable, and welcomed difference in noise output. I then checked the heat produced at the nozzle using a hand-held, laser-aimed, infrared thermometer. I checked a few different spots at the nozzle exit and aimed from the side so that I wasn’t aiming directly at the heating coils. I also did not take measurements of the “cool” setting as that is just the fan blowing air without the heating elements running. All of these hair dryers claim 1875 watts of heating “power," so I kind of expected similar temperatures on their “high” heat settings. Dryer A has two heat settings and produces temperatures of 117 and 148 degrees Fahrenheit with the fan running on the low setting. Dryer B cannot adjust heat and fan settings separately and since it has three fan speeds, it has three heat settings also, producing 108, 125, and 157 degrees Fahrenheit. Dryer C (again separate speed and heat adjustability) produces 126 and 144 degrees, both while using low speed on the fan. The Panasonic EH-NA65-K with separately controlled fan speed and heat settings (in my opinion, the only correct way to make a hair dryer), produces 110 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit on the low fan speed. The last thing I could measure objectively was the weight of the hair dryers. This can make a difference for some people when they have to wave this thing around their head for 10 minutes or more if they have long, thick hair. Dryer A which happens to be an ionic dryer and the one with the retractable cord, weighs 1 pound 3 ounces. Dryers B and C which are bare-bones and inexpensive, weigh 13 ounces and 12 ounces respectively. The Panasonic which at first glance looks somewhat big and bulky, also weighs 1 pound 3 ounces. All weights were taken on an electronic, digital food scale with the cord supported so that it didn’t influence the measurement. I have also attached a picture of the four dryers to illustrate their relative dimensions. Would I recommend this hair dryer based on performance…absolutely. At this price…definitely not for everyone.

  Versatile & powerful enough for all hair types!

  This was the first new hair dryer in our house in a while, and I had no idea how much more powerful and useful they had gotten while I was not in the market for a dryer. Attachments: The tips are versatile and useful for different hair types and different styles. While the tips wont reduce the number of other styling tools you probably keep in your bathroom, they ARE quite useful - Diffuser, quick dry, and concentration heads. Build: This thing feels solid with good controls that won't break for quite some time and easy to operate. Extra long extension cord with the usual built in fusing that was appreciated. It is light and easy to hold with an ergonomically styled grip. Use: This dryer is POWERFUL. the 1,875 watts of drying power are apparent when you turn it on. I was surprised at how quiet it was on the highest setting, still not going to set any records, but quite a bit less noise than my previous hair dryer. The Nanoe technology reported to leave as much moisture in my hair and not damage it, while still getting me to a dry place... this seemed to work okay. I didn't feel any significant difference from other driers, but time will tell. Also warranty at 2 years instead of 1 was a plus for me. Overall: Very impressed, this is a solid great product from a known household name that will serve you well. Excellent Versatile Hair Dryer!
