    I like the product because it has several settings for fast drying time. The quality is very sturdy and the design is nice and sleek. I like the black and red color on this blowdryer as it makes it look very professional. This has cut my blowdrying time in half and I would recommend to ladies (and gentlemen) who like a good quality product that will get the job done. Overall 10+

    I originally got to use one of these when I was at a resort on vacation and then a few weeks later found it on sale. I knew it had to be mine! It works so much better than the hair dryer from Wal-Mart. I have always had such a hard time drying my hair quickly because it is so thick. In less than 10 minutes my hair is completely dry and feels fantastic. Love how it comes with the carrying bag and heat resistant barrel brush. I accidentally used my friend's regular barrel brush and melted the plastic brush tips. Great value for the product without spending $200-$300 for a nice hair dryer.

    The Chi hair dryer dries my hair quicker, even on a medium setting. Also, the sound of the motor is much quieter than other dryers I’ve had. It’s worth every penny I paid for it! I’ll give it 5 stars ⭐️

    This Chi hairdryer has a great diffuser attachment. It dries my hair much quicker and I love having three temperature settings. It also weighs less than other hairdryers I’ve had which is a bonus. Very happy with this purchase!

    Purchased for wife and she loves it. She comments on how fast it works but when I mentioned how quite it is compared to her older dryer she fell in love with it. Amazing product loaded with features. Recommend.

    Usually it takes 20 minutes to fully dry my hair. With this dryer, it only takes about 10 at most. It is more quiet than most hair dryers. Definitely recommend.

    I bought this hairdryer because I was tied of it taking 25 minutes to dry my hair. I wanted something fast and offer lower heat options to keep my hair healthy. Always heard the Chi brand had good products and Best Buy had a sale... I bought this hairdryer and my drying time went from 25 mins down to 5!!! The motor is quiet and the dryer is lightweight... the fact it came with additional accessories was a plus too! Trust me, you will be satisfied with this product if your looking for a strong dryer!

    My wife got this for Christmas and she loves it. Her old hair dryer the diffuser always fell off. This one the diffuser goes on different and never falls off. It comes with a bag and it is lined inside so a hot hair dryer can be placed inside and not burn the bag.

    We have a super ancient hairdryer by mother and I shared and you can guess who's hairdryer it was, hint my mother's. It was back when bobbed flip bangs and lipstick liner was a thing. I can say this old dryer has lasted us 20+ years and no this isnt an exaggeration. It was a Conair Pro Max, sturdy metal of some kind unlike the new flimsy plastic and aluminum hairdryers nowadays, powerful and functional. STILL WORKS btw. Anywho, consider how old it is, I've been looking to renew by buying Conair once again and setting my self up for disappointment. Items are just not crafted as they use to be. I've tried their expensive lines as well and they were more or less the same. Figured if I'm paying that much, might as well try other brands and sure enough this one works. I like that its sturdy, the outline isnt completely plastic and flimsy. The heat is a bit strong and there is no medium setting, that is one downfall. I love the air power, it quicken my drying. Not to heavy, the positioning of buttons on the side does not bother me either. You shouldnt be gripping it above and directly aimed at your scalp. It should be loosely gripped lower with mostly the palm and at a good distance. For more complex hairstyles, the brush is what's mostly moving at odd angles, holding the hairdryer steady up or down doesnt require gripping it as odd angles to cause accidental buttons pushing. Well regardless it works for my needs perfectly, -1 star for the heat power not being more customizable like a medium setting. It's also heat that's very strong.

    I purchased this to replace one I've had for a long time. I LOVE Chi products so thought I'd give it a try. Hair dryers have a history of drying your hair & frizzing it up. But not with this Chi!!! Honestly I use my hair dryer even if it's almost dry for the volume. But with this dryer, still have the volume with a smooth look without the frizz & damage :). I always use Chi flat irons which amaze & now I'm hooked on their dryers too. You wouldn't think a dryer rigid make much difference but it really does when it comes to smoothness, damage & volume

    This is a great hair dryer, very powerful and dries hair very quickly. My hair comes out very soft after drying. Seemed a little bit expensive to me but I had a gift card and I would purchase again.

    I’ve had this for several months and it has worked well for me. It blows a good amount of air and heat. It works faster than any other blow dryer I have used before. Its not to expensive either. You can get a more pricey one, but I wouldn’t be sure if the price would be worth the difference.

    This Chi hair dryer is so lightweight and easy. A real change from those heavy, awkward dryers. The rotating heat to cool feature makes my hair smooth and silky. I have thick heavy hair and this dryer is perfect for me.

    I purchased this as a gift for my wife since she has been complaining about her old hair dryer going out and sparking...lol. The order arrived on time and the complaining has stopped...music to my ears...lol. In all seriousness, she said she loves the hair dryer and is better than her old Hot Tools hair dryer

    This is probably the first non-Conair dryer I have ever purchased. The last one I bought, the paint flaked off, and you could only get good heat by having air on the highest speed. With this dryer, I really like that I can lower the speed without losing heat. Both heat settings work well, sometimes the higher heat is almost too much. The only thing that could improve it is if the concentrator snapped on rather than just sliding on the end of the dryer.
